"the best jerk spot I go to hands down. The quality and flavors are authentic and the best you will find at this price point! the chicken is great the rice and beans are great the greens are great! they haven't missed one time in about 3 years and I've eaten this probably 50 times or more. I'll throw hands about this restaurant lol"

"My food was absolutely delicious. The servings were very generous. The curried chicken was tender and well seasoned. I can't choose what my favorite item was. The sweet potatoes sweetened to perfection. The rice and beans, I couldn't get enough. All of that and super reasonably priced. Congrats!!!"
