First time here drove from Muskegon. Just recently went to Jamaica & was craving some of the Awesomeness I tasted while on vacation. If you haven’t been here yet please RUN not Walk because it’s definitely worth it. This is before, after I just couldn’t post because baby I had sauce everywhere . To my Caribbean family thanks I’ll be back the food here is Amazing. Also add on some of plantains they are Delicious

They have friendly people here and the music is great too. It's a very clean and comfortable atmosphere. Seriously,You walk in and the smell of the food entices all your senses. It's easy to order and no judgement for what you order. This is my fiancee John and I's first time here. Get the Jerk steak & Twice bake potato. It's amazing!!! Plantains are delicious too. The Jerk Chicken and rice is so delicious too.

Cute little restaurant with unique Jamaican food! We both ordered goat curry to go and it was really delicious, the curry’s got a kick to it so it’s definitely worth trying if you like spicy food, had been looking forward to this place for a while and it did not disappoint, the workers were really nice too, we will go back!

Enjoyed the jerk chicken and rice, loved the plantain as well. Good portions, it’s a bit pricey but worth it. The flavors from the jerk chicken were on point. I would definitely recommend this place if you’re in the area or looking for something different.

AMAzing food. I had the curried goat and I highly recommend- incredible flavor. Next time I will try the oxtail. So glad I found this place. Good food and a casual, bright atmosphere with great music. Service was friendly and fast as well.

1st time here. Had the Fried chicken sandwich. It was cooked to perfection and very juicy. The fries with the seasoning with the Irie Lemonade was a great combination. Will be back.

Amazing food and ginger beer! Quick service style, order at the counter and eat there or to-go. Curry Goat was flavorful and generous portions. The fried corn bread and plantains were great side. Spicy chicken sandwich also recommended. Definitely get the ginger beer drink!
