Jerk Chicken, Sauteed Vegetables and Plantains. The best that I’ve tasted in the States!!!! Mouth watering authentic!!! FA real!!!!
Amazing as always. Took my friends there and everything was great as usual. They said they will go back! The service could be a tad better but it was acceptable.
Wonderful Atmosphere & Experience. How can you not like this place authentic food or not? The outside of the run-down strip mall in no way prepares you for the look and feel inside. You will walk into a small restaurant with very soft pleasant Jamacian music playing. Bamboo, palms and wood decorate the bar and key areas creating an island feel. The colors are warm sage and muted terracota. It’s relaxing just sitting there. Add a hammock and I’m snoozing for a bit with their peach passion island tea.The servers are on island time. That means slow, relaxed and no worries. They are in no hurry to bring you your menu, drink or table setting. When they speak, it’s with a Jamacian accent. I will admit their initial demeanor is a put off, but just talk to them. They start laughing and opening up. I started questioning how they made their tea and she went off adding to the experience. Two new customers arrived also using Jamacian accents. They conversed laughed and talked with the server. We started talking across tables and comparing notes of what to eat.I picked this spot to try their jerk burger. It was nothing special, but it did make my nose run. My neighbor had curry muton and said it was good.I will be back. I was so relaxed after leaving. The food can be whatever it wants if I walk out relaxed and laughing with future visits. Should other dishes be very good, this will become a favorite.
Terrible. Customer service is awful. Total rip off. Jerk chicken is good, but don’t expect good prices or good service. Not worth a visit.
Not worth it!. If your concerned about value, don’t come here! The Advertisements on the table are misleading and entree portions are very small! Sides were ok, but my buddy and I got three small pieces of chicken with our jerk chicken. We thought, no big deal, it’s on special, but when we got our check and asked why we were charged full price we were told, because we didn’t ask for that and it’s a different portion size. I can’t imagine what the special portion size looked like! The Shrimp curry was also a very disappointing value. My girl friend asked if she could get the lunch portion for dinner, but was told no. However the amount of shrimp had to have been a lunch portion, maybe 6oz. If lunch was half that she would have had about 3 shrimp on the plate. Funny thing was we didn’t ask for happy hour drink prices and didn’t get a smaller beer because it was on special. The icing on the cake was when the server inquired to the manager about these things, he made no effort to apologize or ensure we left happy… he was too busy sitting at a table playing on his cell phone. I paid them the extra four dollars, but its sad to say that will be last dollar they ever see from me again. The food was good, but not worth $40 for a dinner for 2!
Horrific Service. I made certain to call in the order for a pick up. I was told it would be ready in 25 minutes. I made certain to leave my destination after 30 minutes to ensure my food would be ready. When I got there my food still was not ready and I had to wait an additional 20 minutes. So by now they have had an hour to prepare my order. When the food was brought out, the order was wrong. And although my time was wasted and my order was wrong, they wanted me to pay full price for the order I placed. I advised them I was not a happy customer and it needed to be recitifed. They kept patronizing and ignoring my request resulting in me walking away with an empty stomach. I will never give this place my business and if you value your time and customer service I would advise you to do the same.
The place is good but the loud music is bothering
