Customer Reviews
The oxtails were not good nor Jamaican by any means. I took one bite and was like no this aint it. It tasted like they used just brown gravy mix with no seasoning what so ever. No scotch bonnet no oxtail season no pimento no anything. We ended up giving our meals to a hungry couple near by. We were visiting from out of town and had a craving for oxtails Caribbean style. I will say they do give large portions but it just was not good. Here in Charleston we have two spots that are our go to for Jamaican oxtails and I even make my own and even my oxtails taste better with no decent from the island.
My first time ever eating Jamaican food and it was good. My family and I ordered a combo of rice with peas, plantains, chicken and cabbage. My family said they loved the chicken and while I did enjoy the rice with peas I feel it needed just a bit more flavoring. But the plantains were absolutely great tasting! The ambience is quiet and relaxing and the ladies at the service counter were very nice and friendly, and good music playing in the back. All in all it wasn't a bad place at all and does get really busy from what I saw.
I really enjoyed my experience!!!! The service was amazing. Everyone was very nice and patience. The food was DELICIOUS!!! I will be returning!!!
This was my third time eating here, and I’m highly disappointed. I ordered the oxtails with extra gravy, and even the peas and rice had a burnt taste. The food was honestly disgusting, which is very frustrating after giving this place multiple chances. I expected much better quality, but unfortunately I won’t be returning.
We love Jamaican food so every time we’re out of town, we love checking out all the Jamaican restaurants. We ordered to go and the food was so tasty. Since we had already ordered so much food we didn’t bother getting the soup but the server heard our conversation and she handed my husband a cup of soup on the house!! Let me tell you this soup was THE BEST!! I regret not ordering my own bowl! I called the next day for the same soup but they were making fish soup that day!! I will always call them whenever I’m in town to see if the conch soup is on the menu. On the weekends, food is a little more expensive than weekdays.
