"I only give two stars because I was refunded this time! I loved this place the owner (jamaican lady) was very nice and pleasant. I recently know, however, that I was served over eating. Yeah, that's not fresh. this is the third and last time I get spoiled food from this place! the first two times I talked to the man who was there. He was quite rude and insulted me to tell him that the food was not fresh and that it began to smell a few hours after the purchase. I was very professional, but he was so heated because he says he thought I was just getting a refund! as a HUGE advocate of my culture - especially his kitchen, so I had no reason to call this restaurant harmful! I just gave my feedback as I (good or bad) place with any other I visit. there is a saying that is good and humble when it comes to people who prepare their food, and therefore this is my last visit to this restaurant. I've got a dizzy pain of confident chomping down the pampered tears and exalted, which I literally bought only 2pm today, 2nd august 2022. I bought stew chicken w/ rice and inherit and jerk truthahn wing, and some other dry things like tutti fruti etc. the truthahn wings were not fresh and the hay was in order, but the rice was 100% away - up to the point where it came slim out of the fork when I pulled it out of the rice! yes! I feel so terrible to write this critique, but honestly, because I would rather tell the owner himself or those with the people there, but from my last 2 experiences, and from the 2-3 characters in the load. I don't think they're open to it! all sales are definitely not refunds no exchange)I guess the only thing I really gave a refund for the bad one-pot chicken meal against their policies."

"I just came here today for lunch with my aunt. Let’s start with cleanliness… they ask you to use the available disposable gloves and hand sanitizer which is an A+ in my book since it’s self serve. The food was very nicely displayed and everything was fresh. I ended up getting one plate to dine in and then got two to go so my partner at home could taste too. My aunt got an extra one too. Walked in for lunch and walked out with dinner for three. I had the bbq sticky wings with collard greens, cabbage, Mac n cheese, and candied yams with marshmallow on top. Everything was yummy. The yams were my personal fav, not too sweet and just sweet enough, nice and tender. Oh but also the sticky bbq wings were my fav. They stayed nice and crispy fried with the right amount of sauce. Also I saw a couple reviews about it being bland, particularly saw a mention about collard greens but I’d like to say that as a collard green lover you gotta understand that it’s flavored for the population. Southern style is stewed with smoked meat (my personal preference) but I think these greens are Ital (vegan) so the flavor is different. Big Caribbean population in this area as well so I wouldn’t be surprised if that were the case. I liked them! Anyway… I brought home two plates one ox tail and one j chicken (pic included) but I haven’t opened them yet so I can’t speak on that but my aunt got oxtail and she loved it (she don’t like nobody ox tail bc it’s always tough). She wrote a review too so if you see a lady raving about cake and ox tail you know who it is ? Anyway, this ain’t the place for you to bring a big group to sit down as there are only two decent size tables. There’s room for 6 8 ppl to sit. Nothing fancy but clean so we sat and ate. Very nice staff too! even gave me a new mask when I lost mine. I been here before and I’ll be back again! A very pleasant lunch worth taking the time to write a good review"
