I've passed this place for years and finally decided to give it a try. Boy have I been missing out. The jerk pork was perfect. Nice spice, juicy and meaty. The beef patty was fresh and not hard or dried out. I will definitely be going back to try more items on the menu.

Step right up if you want the real deal. No ifs ands or buts. Rasta pasta on weekends. Cow foot on Thursday. It's an absolute no brainer, this is the creme de la creme.

Authentic Jamaican vibes & eats. As soon as I drove up and saw the smokers out front, I knew I was in the right spot for real jerk chicken. The chicken is juicy, and the portions are good value for the price. I loved the flavor in ackee w salt fish and boiled dumplings & green banana. My little one gave the fried chicken a thumbs up. They have reggae music out front to add to the vibe. I Highly recommend this carry out.

Small counter. Really tasty food. Friendly service. (Good tunes.) Excellent patties - jerk chicken patty: top marks. Usually end up wishing I'd gotten a second one... Have had jerk chicken, stew chicken and curry chicken plates: all really good. (they also have soups - still gotta try those)
