“Hole in the Wall Yes! 🙌🏽 the vegan Rasta Pasta was delicious! 🤤 The Ackee & Saltfish was soo good omg! You have a new customer! I look forward to trying other menu items! 💚🫶🏽😋😊”
“Had their food at a “pop up” in downtown Chicago and it was amazing! The Mac and cheese was creamy. Rice was flavorful and the jerk chicken excellent!!!”
“Food was amazing, first time trying and definitely respect the employee in there working and cooking alone.”
“I must say the oxtail were really really good and the rice me beans. Their service and care for their customers are top tier. I had a driver from Grubhub steal my order and the restaurant, not sure if it was the owner or not but whoever I spoke to over the phone, brought me my order since I was only 8 min away. He remade my order and bring it at closing. I really appreciated this beyond words because I’m pregnant and can’t keep much down. I love them for the food and service So caring and accommodating. 20/10”
“first time there and the man working was very nice & talked me thru the menu. i was in a bit of a hurry so he was kind of enough to suggest something he knew would be quick. the food is very affordable, portions are good, & tastes like comfort homemade food. The picture included I had already eaten quite a bit 😊”
“My first time trying this place, Honestly it’s very disappointing. I been craving oxtails so this really sucked that the food just wasn’t so tasty. 2/10 the only thing good was the yams. The cabbage was hard no seasoning, the oxtails had a different taste just wasn’t a fan of it mostly fat meat. Definitely had better oxtails before. The sweet potato cupcake was good.”
“Made an order on Uber eats and the food was not good . I got oxtails with Mac and cheese, rice and beans, and sweet corn. The corn was ok but the Mac the oxtails and the rice were not good. I love oxtails I eat them all the time from different places but I could not even finish the rest of the food it had a weird taste to it that I can’t explain it was not good at all.”
“This place has some delicious food, I had the curry chicken and the oxtails that fell off the bone and the plantain was delicious. I will be back again and again!”
“The only restaurant I frequent on the West side of Chicago, the best Jamaican food.”
“I got the oxtails cabbage n red beans n rice. Everything was great except the cabbage was lacking flavor. Good portions for the price.”
