"I would never dine here again. True islanders or Jamaican people would feel insulted if they tasted that curry chicken or oxtail. Even the drinks were disappointing; the strawberry lemonade was overwhelmingly sour with too much lemon. Aside from the food, my husband and I felt scammed. The waiter was the only one working, alongside the busboy and hostess. When it was time to pay, she didn’t hand us a physical check but just showed it to us on her device. When I asked about a printed receipt, she said she could do that afterward. Then, when I inquired if the tip was included, she told me it was for the busboy and hostess, but hers wasn’t included, so I tipped her again. She never mentioned that there was a standard service charge. According to their website, a service charge applies to groups of four or more, but they’ve since changed their policy to a 20% service fee for all parties. However, the website hadn't been updated when I checked. Being misled is frustrating. We should support and uplift Black-owned businesses, but it seems like they sabotage themselves in pursuit of profit. I reached out to management afterward because I was dissatisfied, and part of my payment was refunded (hence the 2-star rating instead of 1). I advise you to ask for an itemized bill before settling the bill and not to get caught off guard. And yes, our total was $162 for two people: two meals, one alcoholic drink, an appetizer, and one drink removed... it's ridiculous!"

"I’ve always heard good things about this place but it’s a little ways out for me to get to. Today I wanted some jerk pork and saw they delivered via Uber Eats. After waiting approx 90 minutes and paying $92. The food arrived and it turned out to be such a disappointment. The jerk pork was super salty, It was difficult to consume it. The rice and peas (without any pea, not even one) was hard (rice grains was stiff) and didn’t even have any sauce or gravy to accompany it. The best thing was the plantains. The mac and cheese, hmm never seen Caribbean mac and cheese done in this style before. Sad to say the Jerk Pit ain’t for me. In response to the owners reply: Evidently there is a known issue with your Jerk Pork dish being way too salty. Just take a glance down the review page to everyone who has ordered this dish. You will find a reoccurring theme of Jerk pork being way too salty. Instead of making excuses, just access the seasoning or the preparation of the dish and make the necessary adjustments. Why would everyone who ordered this dish leave the same comment. We do not know each other. Also we ordered at different times. Some years and months ago. I purchase the 2 platers for my mom and I. My mom even called to ask if I wanted to raise her blood pressure with the salty food. I have no reason to lie to you or on your dishes. It’s still uneaten hours after delivery. I do however appreciate you taking time to respond tho. It shows you care. Best of luck to you too. Like I said before, I’ve heard lots of good things about your establishment, which is why I had no vice spending $92 on two jerk platters and some juices. Esp since I’m a Guyanese and can prepare all these myself."

"I would like to share my experience as a family man coming to eat here.. the food was excellent. The natural juices were very well made.. the server was polite and friendly.. The food came out very quickly!.. The only thing that I can complain about was the loud music.. If you go here and you want to be able to talk to your family or friends or children while you're eating, try to sit towards the front where they have the booths.. Don't let them sit you in the back near the DJ.. the music will be too loud for you to be able to talk.. The other thing that I didn't really like was the birthday songs. Every time someone had a birthday song, the DJ played a very loud birthday song along with the servers.. Don't get me wrong. I know it's people's birthday but it's a little over the top with the instruments and the DJ.. other than that I would definitely go back but not with my family.. it's too bad because they would get more business if they were more a family oriented restaurant /bar.. but it seems like they're trying to be a nightclub too much while people are trying to enjoy their meal.. One last thing that I personally didn't like is when you are finish eating and you want to take your leftovers they make it so that you do it yourself.. personally with the amount of money that I spent which was not cheap at all.. I would expect them to pack my leftovers for me like a higher end restaurant would.. and trust me, you're basically paying the same thing..I spent $160.. The least they can do is pack my leftovers.. I had to stop everything that I was doing and pack food in a tiny table.. To me that just looks a little low class.. But that is my opinion.."

"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."
