I rate this restaurant highly. If u want authentic, delicious, traditional Jamaican food with a few American inspired twist...this is the place . Family owned and they put a lot of love in their cooking because its so good. No complaints. When I'm not in the mood to cook, this is my go to restaurant because it tastes like home.

I had a call in order for the oxtails lunch special with cabbage and sweet potatoes on the side and it was delicious as always. Service was excellent the guy cashier was very pleasant and respectful and he take the business seriously. This is my go to for comfort Jamaican cuisine. Great potions of food. My food is always ready when I call it in and it’s not a long when I walk in to order. Must try!!!! Great background music & Jerk sauce on point!

This was the best jerk I’ve had so far first time coming it’s worth the wait so no complaints there will be coming back.

I've had them 3 times so far. I think I have FINALLY found my jerk spot The food is flavorful, fresh, they follow order directions, and I have yet to have any complaints! The prices are also reasonable. They take time to cook your order but I'm okay with that. I get the jerk chicken dinner with white meat and other times the jerk tacos. The mac and cheese could be more cheesy, but it's good. I really have nothing negative to say! The hidden gems are in the hood

I’ve had tacos, brown stew chicken, jerk chicken, curry chicken, and curry goat. They have not missed. Each meal was worth it and the price is very reasonable. Service was absolutely the best. I will continue to eat from this spot as long as I’m pleased

I was just in the area and stumbled on this quaint little Jamaican spot on the spot side of Chicago. And I must tell you l, as a Jamaican myself, I wanna give Keisha and her husband 10 stars for their customer service alone. I tried the jerk tacos and they were great! I even bought a box of the Jamaican Patties to take home.

They always get me right! Everything is seasoned or sauced up down to the rice!! I just wish they had a sit down restaurant
