I went with the Jerk Chicken Alfredo, which sounded like an interesting combo and it totally delivered. The Alfredo sauce was creamy and flavorful without being too heavy, and you could tell it was made fresh. It had a nice buttery taste, and there was just enough spice to keep things interesting without overwhelming the whole dish. But the jerk chicken? That was the star. It had a deep, smoky flavor and a heat that built up slowly with each bite, not in a "mouth on fire" way, but enough to remind you it means business. The outside had a good char that added a little crunch, while the inside stayed super tender and juicy. You can tell they know what they're doing with that grill. The bell peppers mixed in were a nice touch, added a bit of crunch and sweetness to balance things out. It's a simple dish, but everything worked together really well. The portion was solid, definitely enough to fill you up and I left full and happy. If you're looking for something flavorful and comforting, especially on a cold day, this is the move. I'll definitely be back.

I was worried that this could be either a bad omen or a positive sign as the best food often comes from places that leave a lot to be desired. Well, I ordered the special which included two meats and two sides from the list on the poster. I got curry chicken, jerk chicken, Rasta pasta, and the jerk chicken fried rice. Rasta pasta- a hit Chicken fried rice- a hit Jerk chicken- a little dry but still good Curry- good but I would have liked a little more curry gravy Overall, I'm definitely doing back!

You'll get some attitude, notice some unorganization, and the food does take 20 mins, but if you are looking for food that is out of this world, don't pass it by! You won't be disappointed! We have been traveling across the country for days and as many of us know, food on the road is of the lowest quality, and it is difficult to find a decent food joint off the highway. So, when I saw this spot and did a bit of research, I knew it was going to be better than most of the food that we have been eating on the road just by looking at the food online. What I didn't know was that this food was going to be better than some of the food we just had in downtown Chicago! The whole time we ate it we said "Damnnnn, that chef snapped!" So, kudos to the Chef! I like his playful spirit too! I am disappointed that this place is across the country from where we live but also a bit grateful because it would end up being a problem for us..haha! Also, is there a recipe book that the chef is willing to share because those flavors were out of controllllll!

We got the tips with no sauce, the beef shortribs dinner, a white chicken dinner, and an oxtail dinner. Ordered yams, greens, cabbage, rice, and mac and cheese. He says give him 10mins. Turns into about 25 mins. We sit in the car and eat it. Tips were boiled trash. I spit them out. The chicken was dried out and burned. The beef short ribs were a 4, they were tender and flavorful. The oxtails were tender and ok, rated a 3. They use too much vinegar on the cabbage and greens. Yams were hard and tough. The 2 meats were good, but not good enough to go back. Then he was like oh I 4got to charge you for the chicken dinner, but its ok. Yeah cuz it was burned trash you planned to discard anyway! $85 we spent.
