★★★★★ 5.0 Joi Powell · Jan 2024

I had the vegan oxtail with yams and red beans with rice. I also had a vegan chicken sandwich w cheese and fries. Everything was well seasoned and just tasty. The texture went well with the imitation. They let me try the tomato bisque which was equally flavorful. Thank you for an excellent experience. Food-excellent. Service-well it was good, server was multi tasking, the place is small. Atmosphere- its nice its is not elegant or trashy, it's clean, colorful and upbeat.

I have been to this restaurant multiple times but this is the first time I’ve gotten the Mango-Pinapple Jerk Shrimp. It was good. Cabbage was well cooked and seasoned, yams were good but more like sweet potato casserole “style”. The jerk shrimp was good as well. My complaint, they switched their containers from the last time I visited. Used to be the styrofoam white containers and now they have the smaller black plastic ones. These containers are a bit smaller, not deep at all and the jerk shrimp only comes in one size, which is their large dinner portion. For $25 (after tax), 8 shrimp that doesn’t automatically come with rice so it’s just sitting in sauce and half ladle filled sized sides, is just not cutting it. It “looks” filling but it is not because the containers are thin. I probably

Husband wanted to get Jamaican on his bday so he chose this place. I ordered curry chicken and he got the oxtails. The curry chicken to me was ok the curry was a little thicker than usual making it a little bitter but still it was okay and I love that they add potatoes, a lot of places don't. You also definitely get your moneys worth on the portion. I got a medium and it was more than enough. My husband's oxtails on the other hand were tough. You couldn't break the meat off with a fork, he had to pick them up with his fingers to eat them. You couldn't even stick the fork in them. He did mention it and the lady bought out a very small sample for him to try to see if that was tough but she said it came from the same batch but he didn't try it so since he didn't I don't know what her point wa

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Monica Arr. · Jul 2025

Almost inedible. I only gave 2 stars because the cabbage wasn’t bad and the oxtails were tender, but everything else was awful. The oxtails were incredibly sweet. The cornbread had a weird taste to it that I couldn’t pinpoint or finish. The mac and cheese had a gritty taste, but had the same sweetness as the oxtails. I wasn’t able to finish my food unfortunately.

So I've been several times and they've made minor mistakes with the order no biggie right. But today My mother order was right at $96. Times are hard so spending $96 and not even eating in a restaurant is crazy..But for you to mess up the order we asked for cabbage they put collards I'm guessing because one of the lunches we did ask for collards, both that two would've been ok but my mother took one bite and started coughing until it turned into like a choke. They were so salty and hot. So I was like you're over reacting so I tried mine because I actually ordered the collards and oh my goodness she was not over reacting. I like hot food and it burned my throat and it was way to salty. Then I thought let's just eat the chicken my chicken was a bit tough and everyone knows the potatoes suppo
