Customer Reviews
Went here for dinner and was not disappointed. Really nice flavor and very nice portions. I had my usual favorite of ox tails.When I opened my box I knew it was going to be amazing. It's as authentic as it gets good people and great food.
We happened upon this place because I was in search of authentic Jamaican beef patties for my wife. I've had the cheap ones from the grocery store, and this one was not them. It was spicy, moist, and very flavorful. I had the Oxtails, mac and cheese, and greens. The Oxtails were cooked to perfection and highly seasoned. I do wish they came with rice, and it was not just offered as another side. I just think that for the price of this plate, it should be included. Both the mac and cheese and greens were seasoned extremely well and were delicious. My wife had the jerk wings with cabbage greens and mac and cheese. The wings were actually grilled and cooked perfectly. She absolutely loved them as well as the cabbage greens. The ONLY issue was that we waited almost an hour for our food with no
We stop on our way from New Orleans to Birmingham, Alabama. Establishment was clean, we were greeted nicely. There was no line, orders were taken at the register. They do offer multiple beer selections, soda and deserts. We ordered 4 different meals, 2 of which came out 15 min prior to other 2 meals. All meals came out fresh and hot. Great taste and flavors throughout.
If you call to order and they tell you the food will be ready in 20 minutes be prepared to get there at 20 minutes and wait another 30 minutes. Attitudes are just non professional. Everytime they are limited in menu. Sucks because I love to get some Jamaican food but this place has been the worst experience. 30 dollars for oxtail to have 3 pieces of oxtail and more plantains than anything on the plate. I'm done coming here
I have had Caribbean food all over the country, but this place, do yourself a favor and get some food from these people, they will not disappoint, I work in Chicago, I live in Myrtle Beach and this Caribbean food is the best I’ve tasted, keep up the good work guys, thank you for a great meal..
