I ordered the seafood meal with the 2 crab cakes, fried clams, and shrimp with fries. I guess being it was almost time do close they gave me whatever the had left. I didn't get any clams or shrimp. They gave me a bunch of red beans and rice and threw 2 crab cakes on top. Who in the hell eats crab cakes with red beans and rice. Will never order again.

Absolutely no complaints. The oxtail was hot, SO tender and the gravy was good. Both the mac & cheese and candied yams, could’ve been a little hotter, but were good and paired well with the oxtail. The young lady at the counter was pleasant & professional. And the restaurant seemed clean (note: I didn’t stay to eat, I just sat down to wait for my food). This plate was a little under $20 and was well worth it.

I’ve given this place way too many chances because when the food is good, it’s really good. But it’s been super inconsistent for me. Some visits are great and others are a total miss, and that makes it hard to keep coming back. The wait times have been frustrating too. I’ve shown up at the exact pickup time they gave me, the place will be completely dead, and I’ll still end up waiting 30 to 45 minutes. That’s happened more than once. Portion sizes have also varied depending on the day. Service hasn’t always felt very welcoming, which doesn’t help. I really wanted to love this spot, but after multiple tries, I think I’m done giving it another shot.

I bought 2 fish sandwiches and side order of macaroni salad. They only give 2 pieces (1 fish) which was salty and dry and I've tasted better macaroni salad from the grocery store. I asked for tarter and hot sauce and was told no hot sauce and given packs of tartar. I was very disappointed and will not be going there again.

Disappointed. As a Jamaican born and grown I am very disappointed in the quality of the food. And who wants a bunch of legs in their food????
