“Listen to me if I didn’t place my order for a church dinner next Sunday I would’ve been feenin (lol) and right back getting this Curry Chicken Dinner w/ Mac, Yams, and red beans & rice…. But you will see me that next Sunday after for my fix I just needed a lil bit more Mac but overall it was delicious and hit that spot…I was praying that it was good and y’all out did yourselves Im happy Satisfied and Full 😋thank you for cooking with love 💕 and doing it right God Bless you all thank uuuuuu oh I tried to save some for later and I couldn’t stop”
“Everything Is Good Just Didn’t Know It Do NOT Come With Bread; I Love They Bread I’ll Know Next Time.”
“Food was good. I’m not sure if it was my stomach or the food but it gave me bad diarrhea 🤣🤣🤣”
“It's really good, authentic Jamaican food. Good size portions and friendly service. Would recommend.”
“I've eaten here many times before and food was great. I've never never been on a Sunday and will not if this is the norm. This past experience was just an embarrassment for me as I bought a plate of food for a friend and some jerk wings for my self and some plantain. Chicken was clearly from yesterday and the rice and peas was as well. The plantian them look like they may have been from the day before as well. Lackluster service and what looked and tasted like leftovers. A piece of Jamaican bread would be welcomed over the soggy Whitebread.”
“Was not a fan of the goat curry - there was a bit of fat in the portion I got and it tasted off to me. I did enjoy the Mac and cheese and thought it was good. I believe they only do pick up since there wasn’t any sit down places to eat at.”
“The food is delicious. The jerk chicken is smoky, juicy, and flavorful. The Mac & cheese is creamy, gooey, and just the right amount of cheesiness. The cabbage is fresh & light. The bread was dry but since helped. Unfortunately 2⭐ is the highest I can rate as there was an ant in my cabbage. I didn't realize until I was halfway done with my food. What a shame, I can't return.”
“Awesome customer service & the jerk is amazing, seasoned perfectly.”
“The food was fantastic!!! Great portions, great items on the menu, and the staff was pleasant.”
