  You'll miss this place of you're not paying attention. It's is a residential neighborhood and looks more like the neighbor's house than somewhere to get your belly full. Inside is nothing special. Only has temporary seating for you while you wait for your food. The staff was friendly and spoke to you more like a friend returning than a complete stranger. I liked that.
  
  I ordered the jerk chicken dinner with dark meat. It came with rice & peas, macaroni & cheese and a salad. I also ordered banana pudding which waa listed as a special for the day. Total $18. There was plenty food for more than 1 meal and so totally worth the price.
  
  The food was good. Rice & peas were my favorite thing. The chicken was a little dry and could use a sauce or gravy. I'll be sure to ask for some when I return. Yup. I plan to return. Maybe Tuesday since they'll be closed until then. Business days are Tuesday-Saturday noon until...Idk. There was no closing time listed.
  
  They take call ahead orders and offer delivery through Grubhub. They are worth a try. Or 3

  Heard great things about the jerk salad and dinner plate and stopped by today. Went at 12 and got both of the items.
  
  The dinner plate consisted of a bottom of rice and beans, on top of a good amount of jerk chicken, a big piece of macaroni and cheese, and a little bit a salad. The jerk chicken was amazing, the mac & cheese was good, and the rice and beans were all right. Over all 4/5.
  
  The jerk salad was very filling and had a good portion of jerk chicken. It wasn't as flavorful as the dinner plate chicken but still fabulous. The dressing on top is amazing
  Also a 4/5.
  
  The place itself isn't as appealing from outside. But the food is great, there is no place to eat inside it is a pick up and go place. Worth the visit!!

  This was my first time trying their food, came on my lunch break. I ordered Rasta Pasta and Jerk chicken, ABSOLUTELY AMAZEBALLS! This is THE BEST Rasta pasta I've ever had! It cost me $9 which is ABSOLUTELY a great price. As well, I'll mention that my jerk chicken was bonesless and that's a huge plus because I don't like getting my fingers messy. I took the photo after I had already started eating but it's penny pasta, Rasta pasta sauce, squash, mushrooms, green peppers and red peppers as well with jerk chicken on top. I'll definitely be back.

  They don't just carry the name.. they deliver! This place is really great. Very must outdated inside and out but the food is authentic. Service was a pleasure. They even had complementary Christmas cookies ! I will definitely return soon
