Customer Reviews

"The BEST food ever! Sometimes you have to go to a place where you have to wear a Bullproof vest! It was crowded for a reason n worth the wait. The portions are huge, right price, n so flavorful. I drove 40 minutes to get this food because it is worth every bit. The food is very filling too n perfect! From the mac n cheese to the Red Snapper in all. They even have a vegetarian platter too. Will definitely comeback but early in the day not at 3."

"The food at this location is usually good; however, the customer service is extremely inconsistent. One front-counter employee with curly hair was openly rude and unprofessional when I asked about my order. She raised her voice at me and refused to provide service because I did not have a receipt, claiming she does not remember the orders she takes--even though there were barely any customers in the store. This behavior was unacceptable and reflects poorly on the establishment."

"Was craving for some jerk chicken so I was recommended this place at work. Pretty easy to get to, nice place and lively indoor restaurant. Ordering was quick, waited a bit to make it fresh but it was worth the wait. The jerk chicken was tasty with the right spices. Rice and peas were cooked well. Plantains were average but the Mac and Cheese is great! Will definitely come back next time to get the chicken that I recommended but just with the rice and peas and Mac and Cheese sides."
