“ These guys are under new management, and they are coming in hot. I came in to try the Jamaican jerk chicken, and it was truly the taste of Jamaica. Not just some b.s imitation. The chef is passionate about his food. The menu has some serious dishes, and the host Jody is extremely sweet. This place is a must. I can't wait to come back. ”
“ Wonderful service super friendly and patient staff, food portions were super big along with the food being very clean and well made. Jerk chicken literally slid off the bone, had a different taste but it was also my first time trying it so I had nothing to base off of. 9.5/10 food 10/10 service. Wish I knew about the place sooner kinda hard to see based on it being in the middle of a Wendy's and hibachi place. ”
“ Great vibes, and the jerk chicken was full of flavor. The staff are super friendly and welcoming. They make fresh juice, the strawberry ginger is amazing! Found out they host comedy night too. Definitely coming back and bringing friends. ”
“ 10/10 completely recommend this shop for delicious fresh hot food. Ordered the sampler plate for myself, totally vegan fresh and delicious. The hummus tastes homemade and fresh. The hubby ordered Jamaican chicken plate and the jerk sauce is so good we licked the plate clean. ”
