“ First time trying this place out. I ordered the Jerk Pork with Rice, veggies, plantains and a currant roll on the side. Everything was very good and very tasty. Customer service is what you'd expect in a Jamaican restaurant. If you can get past that, then you'll be fine. I'll be back if I'm in the area. ”
“ I really go for the soups and sweet potato pudding.you can tell that the chef isn't tasting the meat when they're seasoning it they are just killing the food with pepper that I can't eat it because I have pancreatic issues so if they would stop over killing the food with pepper I ordered jerk pork for my daughter today she couldn't eat it they killed it with pepper and no seasoning she said... ”
“ I usually love the food prepared at this restaurant .But for the past few months ,I have been very disappointed with the stewed peas. Pork is often time too salty and undercooked. 4 times I have bought in the past 3 months and had to throw it away. I kept hoping that the next time it would be better. Because it use to be sooooo good... Don't know if a new chef came in town or what.But the stew peas is a BIG DISAPPOINTMENT. Staff are very nice! ”
