My first time there and I ordered the veggie plate and it taste great! The SiStar that took my order was very pleasant, and professional yet like family. I'll definitely be ordering again.

Service is excellent and at lunch time it is very fast take out. I think I waited one whole minute. Staff are still following covid protocols and wearing masks and gloves, which I think is great. It is currently take out at the walk up window only, and they are very attentive. $12 for a lunch plate and a lemonade is a very good deal. I know nothing about authenticity of Jamaican food- this is the first one I have tried. I know what I like. I can say I really enjoy the food from here. The curry I have gotten before is not spicy, but it is very good. Today I got the jerk chicken with peas and rice, mac and cheese, grean beans, and complimentary plantains. The jerk is delicious and spicy. The meat portions are decent, but could be a little better, and included a lot of bones. I got a wing, a part of some other dark meat, and part of a breast, which yes was a bit dry but breast meat does that when it is grilled and it is still very tasty. The green beans, rice with peas, and plantains were all excellent. The mac and cheese is better than my mama's, which I would never tell her, but it was that good. The plate as a whole is very substantially sized, and I still have lunch leftovers I am currently munching on a little at a time late in the afternoon. The lemonade is really good, tastes fresh made, and goes super well with the food. I will be back many times for lunch, I'm sure.

I wish I could give more stars but I can’t. I’m Caribbean and this is definitely not authentic Jamaican food 🥲. The food was served hot so I did appreciate that. Flavor wise, it was terrible to me. I got the brown stew chicken and it didn’t taste anything like it should. Not much seasoning! Their take on rice and peas was… interesting. They also had shredded cabbage mixed with what looks like regular mixed veggies. They also forgot our plantain. The coco bread was the best part. And they have good patties! Very friendly and nice people too, the food just wasn’t good.

You can't dine inside. Good thing is you don't have to Interact with the staff and it's touchless pay. The only time you see anyone is when they hand you your food so it's a win win situation. When you approach the door, you must have a face mask and you are not allowed in the building

Food is good do not take that long to get you food
