One table and two chairs inside for dining in, but this is truly a to-go venue. Staff were busy making online orders so we waited awhile before getting served. Once they did it was fast and polite service. They actually allow you to make combo meals, so we had an Oxtail dinner and a Goat/Oxtail dinner, as well Jerk chicken by itself. The food was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! We sat outside and ate in the car, cause it was hot inside. The cook came outside & we took the time to compliment him. This is TRUE AUTHENTIC Caribbean food. If you want an "Americanized" experience, go to 'Golden Krust.' Speaking of which, it's better than GK, it's cheaper, & you get more because they don't fill space with cabbage and plantain.

Everyone was straight to the point, patient, and polite. We were able to watch the amazing staff prepare and serve our food, and they were happy to accommodate us if we wanted to add extra gravy or any additional items. The beef patty was delicious and fresh as well. Huge thank you to the amazing, hardworking staff! The restaurant is spacious with a few indoor seating options, making it a comfortable spot to enjoy your meal. Authentic flavors, generous portions, fresh food, and great service.

This place was exactly what you hope for when you're looking for amazing food at an unexpected hour. The food was absolutely delicious: fresh, flavorful, and cooked with so much love. We had the oxtail, jerk chicken, peas and rice, and cabbage. Unfortunately, they were out of macaroni and cheese, but everything else was so good that it didn't even matter. The prices are fair for the portions and the convenience of having a 24-hour Jamaican spot available when you need it. That alone is a huge plus. The staff were friendly and welcoming and took our order with a smile!! The area is a little rough around the edges, but we felt fine grabbing our food and heading out. They offer takeout, which makes it even more convenient. I'll definitely be returning again and again. Great food, great flavors, and a true gem when you need a delicious meal at any hour.

States there is a Bathroom outside. She then began to state you can use restroom as if she was doing me a Favor. I respectfully, declined. I also indicated to Owner, I myself was a Business Owner and I definitely will not patronize your establishment. In Business or Life it's not what you say it's How you say it, To the Owner I hope this is a Coaching Moment for yourself. All it Takes is 1 Persons Bad Experience with your Business and you never know how that will effect your establishment. You characterize me as if I was beneath you or someone literally from off the streets. when I asked you Respectfully just to use restroom You get an F grade for your Business Etiquette DO BETTER I Guess if I wanted to wash my Hands before I sat down and ate inside I would have to purchase food first before I could do that too. Your Business Communication Sucks.

I got the ackee (without saltfish), the most delicious rice and peas that were NOT dry, callaloo, cabbage, plantains, and candied yams. Everything was SO delicious!!! I literally ate the entire thing and was sooo full afterward. I definitely should've saved half for later, but when food tastes this good, it's honestly hard to put the fork down!

Dining area to the right side. Jamaican flag drapes and simple tables covered in plastic protection. Menu written on board. Fish and shrimp done to order only. Great to know.

Now, I had my daughter with me and she was fresh out of school and starving because-you know, kids after school are ALWAYS starving lol I chanced it and got her a mini stew chicken. Got myself a small oxtail and two beef patties. That mini was PACKED y'all!! Enough to fill her belly and make her forget about a patty. The stew chicken was delicious! Cooked just right,not over stewed. The oxtail was so tender and FLAVORFUL! They damned sure weren't stingy with portions. The oxtail was enough for a large portion. The rice was a little too soft for me but I didn't plan on eating it anyway. Plantains were perfect, veggies good. Patties were beefy and fresh, golden crust on the outside.

I was hoping for a wide variety, and while the selection wasn't huge when I arrived, what they did have available was quality. I ordered the vegan curry patty, the jerk shrimp patty, and a cocoa bread. The patties themselves were good -- flavorful, well-seasoned, and satisfying -- but the true standout of the visit was the cocoa bread. Easily the best cocoa bread I've had from any Caribbean spot. It was incredibly soft, buttery, and clearly fresh. Honestly, it's good enough that I'd return just for that alone. Pricing leaned a bit higher than I expected for patties, but the overall experience still felt worth it. The food hit the spot, and the cocoa bread alone makes this place memorable. If you're looking to try something different or want solid seafood patty options, it's definitely worth giving Yelp Patty a shot. I'll be back -- if nothing else, for that cocoa bread.
