Great food with entertaining staff. Takes me back home. Beef patties were excellent and not too spicy but perfect.

The best jerk chicken in town. It's a no frill restaurant, mainly for takeout. It might have some counter like space for dine in but take your chance. The service speed is slow. You can call ahead to order before the pick up. In addition to jerk chicken, it also has curry dish, seafood, oxtail and goat if you're adventurous. I mainly stick to jerk chicken. A complete order comes with plantain, cabbage, and rice and bean. It also has patties but they run out fast.

Man!!! I'm from Texas and was working at the hospital nearby. The food was amazing, the brown stewed chicken was cooked to perfection. I substituted the rice and peas for Mac and Cheese, the gravy on top of the Mac... IMMACULATE!!!!! I'm saving this place in my archives!!! Salute #texaslove

I am way over due to do a review for my hands down favorite Jamaican restaurant! I have been going there for many years since I moved to the US and they haven't disappointed me. So let's get started talking about their food! They have various beef patties that are freshly made and they are so delicious, and you can also pair it with their coco bread to make it a complete meal. I love their roti (the best way to describe it is a big burrito filled with meat, potatoes that's stuffed with tropical flavor). I have gotten my favorites curry chicken and jerk chicken roti many times and they are both so satisfying! Their meals are also a homerun for sure! Just thinking about jerk chicken, curry chicken, brown stew chicken just to name a few and it reminds me of my meals from my homeland Dominica! They create mouth watering meals to satisfy your heart and soul! Their prices are very affordable as well so it's definitely worth it. You can check out some of my pictures as proof. I would strongly recommend visiting them to get a taste of the Caribbean! FYI it's not a dine in restaurant, but trust me it's the most authentic cooking you will get because no chain restaurants can't duplicate their food. I will caution you that jerk chicken is spicy so only order it if you can handle the heat lol. So I will end by saying "feel the rhythm, feel the rhyme, get on up, its bobsled time!" #CoolRunnings
