★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Elle Avies · Mar 2026

My food was absolutely disgusting. My food was old there is no other way to describe it. Food was bland and unseasoned. I was absolutely livid, I just went to bed hungry. I will never go there again and wouldn’t recommend. The nerve to serve old food and fish at that. Then tore it apart and dropped it in the container. My husband didn’t want to hurt the lady feelings when she opened it nor make a scene. He felt it might’ve tasted better than it looked. No! I’m good.

I was visiting with my family and thought this would be a nice spot for lunch. My husband ordered the stew peas which was nice 6/10. I made the mistake of ordering the fried chicken is wasn't done and was bloody on my plate. I didn't want to cause a scene so I just left with my husband and daughter his food was decent mine hurt my stomach afterwards. The rice Auth oxtail gravy was nice I was completely turned off when I saw the bloody chicken I went to chick fil a after. The lady was very nice and friendly I felt bad that I had a bad experience with my food. Everything else was fine just don't order the fried chicken.

I must say this restaurant was a bad experience! I normally read reviews when I'm searching for good restaurants but didn't get a chance to this time. Big mistake! First off, it's definitely not a warm, appealing nor friendly establishment. Second, you don't get much meat for the price. Last, the food is NOT good!! When I first started eating the oxtails my stomach started turning!! It's like, I started feeling sick suddenly. But the jerk chicken sure was dry and didn't taste like REAL "jerk" chicken. The cabbages were so not well cooked or seasoned at all! Rice was trash too! I'm really disappointed that I spent my money at this place because I definitely knew better off of my first impression😔

I know everyones taste buds are different, but for the 1st time in my life I have bn disappointed in any jamaican restaurants oxtails. I dont know if it was bc It was late or what happened. These "Jamaican Oxtails" tasteed like neckbones with no love. Cabbage was bland, the rice and peas were ok and the plantain were plantain. My wife got the fish and chips. She bit into the fish gagged and threw her entire plate away. I spent $40 on our meal, but I was expecting to have the real deal. Absolutely no love put into this. ZERO!!

I've been eating there for a long time and always enjoy the food. Today I got a shrimp rasta pasta and it was great. I also have a triple chocolate cake for later tonight. The people there are always kind. It is always a pleasure to eat there
