The ox tails and jerk white meat was 🔥... Food is on point seasoned with perfection. Best in the city hands down... a must try. Order ahead of time no walk in orders. And not a long wait either..

OH! What a treat! Authentic Jamaican homemade cooking at its finest! Made fresh and cooked daily, closed Tuesdays. I learned the hard way. Anyway the menu is extensive. The food is awesome!! They have luncheon specials under and up to $10.00. Chicken, goat, oxtails, tilapia, shrimp,catfish, red snapper, are offered in a variety of preparation. The side order menu is also extensive. They have tropical drinks well as others, desserts and provide catering service. There is an eat in section with restroom facilities. The eat in section and restrooms are not handicapped accessible however. There is an adjoining parking lot to the restaurant at the Chicago location. The second location is on Torrance Avenue in Calumet City. You can also order online!

Luv the Chicken and fish. Kinda sad they haven't had my plantains. Still one of my favorite places.

“This was some of the best jerk food I’ve had in a long time.”

This was some of the best jerk food I’ve had in a long time! My container was packed full of food, hot and fresh! I order the jerk catfish and I ate off that plate for two days. Everything was delicious. 8.5/10!

“I ordered on DoorDash and the food was just not up to taste.”

I ordered on DoorDash and the food was just not up to taste. The Mac and cheese had red peppers in it (wasn’t good) and I also ordered yams, but as you can see, got double Mac. The oxtails weren’t of good taste either.

“The food wasn't all that great.”

The food wasn't all that great. Long wait and the rice was under cooked. I give it a 2 star cause they do give you a lot of food.

“The absolute worst jerk Alfredo I have ever had.”

The absolute worst jerk Alfredo I have ever had. Not saucy at all and didn’t even include shrimp and chicken like I paid for and requested. Do NOT order Alfredo from here. Called back twice and haven’t even gotten a response about this disgusting meal I ordered. No seasoning, barely any sauce, and all around gross. 🤢🤢🤢🤢
