It was hard to find this place hidden in a corner. Uninviting lobby where you’re greeted by a not so excited cashier. She was nice though. Now I was a bit scared trying a new place. It was good. They are generous with the jerk seasoning. Definitely a good choice. I’m tired of fried food so this place is a good alternative. Chicken was the Allstar. The sides were basic.

Been here a few times and have always liked my experience, but I like the food even more. To put it short, it’s a certified hit. I usually get the chicken dinner but I’ve had the chops and the shrimp all smackers.

1st time here so we decided to get the lunch specials. Before leaving, I asked the guy was there jerk sauce in the bag and he assured me it was. I got alllll the way to work and there was no sauce in the bag! There was no reason to lie about something like that. I was really looking forward to that jerk sauce & I like to dip my jerk chicken for an extra hint of spicy. I might return to try something different 🤷🏾‍♀️ they might not give me any jerk sauce.

As a chef of 15 years, I don’t take leaving negative reviews lightly — but this experience was extremely disappointing. I ordered lamb chops with cabbage and rice. When I got home, I didn’t see any lamb in the container. Naturally, I was frustrated and drove back to the restaurant. When I returned, I was told the “two-time” lamb chops were underneath the rice. They were completely buried and not visible at all. For a premium protein like lamb chops, presentation and proper placement matter. Hiding them under rice not only looks misleading, it feels careless. As someone who understands kitchen operations, plating is intentional. If a guest can’t immediately identify the main protein they paid for, that’s a problem. Unfortunately, this experience left a bad impression, and I won’t be returning

Amazing food, staff was incredibly kind, and good atmosphere. Loaded jerk fries was easily one of the greatest meals I have ever had

The cooks at this restaurant are on to something!!!!!! On my lunch break I found this restaurant and I was in the mood for some jerk chicken. They had a really spectacular lunch menu that has a loaded fries option and oh my God, it was the best loaded fried combination I think I’ve ever had. It wasn’t overbearingly hot and spicy just enough amount of jerk with a aïoli sauce…. mannnnnnnnn you have to try out the lunch special items. Plus it was decently priced and I didn’t even wait long. I was able to get back to work on time and that’s exactly what you need in the lunch special. You gotta be able to get in and get out. I applaud this staff and this restaurant concept is really great. Please check them out and support them.
