Came in with a vendor who was buying lunch for myself and another coworker…read more We ordered several meals, jerk chicken, curry chicken, and ox tails. The meals come with vegetable medleys, rice, and plantains. I had the ox-tail, they were great, and she even put the sauce/gravy from the ox tails onto the rice so it was flavorful. We sat outside because it was 100+ degrees in the restaurant (poor employees), but it tasted stellar.

Great food! It was my first time trying Caribbean food and the owner was so nice and accommodating…read more We especially loved the curry goat and oxtail. The brown chicken stew was also really good. We also got to try their fruit punch as well which was amazing. Overall, I'd highly recommend stopping by this place! He even gave us some candy, beef patties, and jerk chicken. The ambiance is very casual and low key. The owner also lets you try the food before you purchase anything. So worth a stop!

Great service, they also offered to give us samples of ox tail which I obviously tried and was very good! It is spicy so do be aware of that. The food however was a 10/10 and the staff is awesome. Truly a gem in the Poconos. We were on vacation here in the Poconos and just by this spot makes me wanna come back .

Wow! What a nice surprise. Once we stumbled upon this authentic Caribbean food spot in the Poconos…read more The food was excellent! I had curry, chicken, rice and peas and cabbage. I ordered a side of rice and peas and cabbage, because we weren't sure if we would be able to get out the house the next day. My girlfriend ordered coat and she said it was great. The young lady at the counter was very pleasant and I guess we ordered so much food she threw in a soda. The service was great. She shared a story about her grandma who still cooks for the restaurant. Cool area to sit down if you must eat there. I would definitely recommend this place!! I was so hungry and the food was so delicious. I didn't even take a picture. If I'm ever in the Poconos, I will definitely return.

When I arrived I parked in the plaza lot. I walked in and was greeted. My food was ready, I paid and left. When I got home I dug in and the snapper was ok. I wasn't feeling the carrots and onions in it. The rice and peas was good. The meal overall was ok.

How nice to travel to find a little piece of familiar culture!…read more I didn't expect to have a mind blowing experience. Opted for the oxtail because (go big or go home!) I felt it would be a good baseline by which to judge their skills. I think it was an excellent dish because the meat was tender, flavorful and light. Delightful. I definitely know they cook their own rice and peas fresh. So that winner and their appetizers are great and I definitely recommend them if you want something other than the local fare. As for their customer service, it's like a typical Caribbean spot. Service may seem surly but it is what it is. I will definitely be back!

So I'm going to start with the negative. If you call the phone number, no one will answer but you…read morewill very shortly after get a text message with the menu and a "how can I help you". Seemed super awesome at first right..... yes for the first 5 minutes. After that it become a very tedious and annoying process of 30 min of back and forth texting that could easily be handled in a 5 minute phone conversation. This method of ordering is not the best way to conduct business in my opinion. Then if/when you go to the location, there is only a door that is closed with a window on top. It instructs you not to bang, to text, and to have a mask on. Okayyyyy. There's also a chalkboard menu outside the door. Half the things on the menu, once texted to ordered, you will be told is unavailable. So what's the point of the menu. Also, you get no pricing. Even if you ask unless you press for the price and ask multiple times, you will not get it. So your total will be a surprise when you go to pay...and trust it will likely be a surprise with how expensive it is. When you finally get a text that your food is ready, your card will be taken from you, your food bag shoved at you, and very little words if any exchanged. But your food bags will be heavy. NOW THE FOOD. As a Jamaican myself, the food was delicious. The portions are ginormous, so think about sharing. We ordered the stew snapper and jerk salmon. Each comes with rice and peas (which is 3/4 of the container), steamed veg, and plantain. A large Mac and cheese will be the entire container. So unless you need to feed 3-4, don't get a large. The rice and peas is good. Flavorful and clearly done with coconut and pimento seeds... how it should be. The jerk salmon looked burnt and dry but surprisingly was not in the least. The veg was delicious and I could eat a side of that alone. The macaroni and cheese was perfectly cheesy and seasoned. The food itself might be why people put up with the terrible ordering system and lack luster customer service.

**So darn delicious **…read more I live not far from this restaurant and had never gave it a shot. After reading a few review we placed our orders. Let me say this....... they had the strong hand of Thanos with the portion sizes. These days an XL is a medium at best but here I was sweating finishing that plate of great food. Now the food , I ordered the jersey chicken platter it came with rice and peas and cabbage. As good as that food was I may have to call the police my grandma may be held hostage cooking in that kitchen !!! So yummy even my 2 year old wouldn't get out of my rice and peas. As for the ambiance , it's a small place not really made.for eating in butbits worth the wait inside. These ladies are professional, I watched a man be so rude "give me gravy I don't want no dry food" " how much this how much that" and the woman was professional and made his plate and didn't bat an eye at him. These are good people ! I will be back Overall: Food: 4 stars Portions for the price: 4 stars Taste: 5 stars People: 4 stars Give this spot a 4.5 , you should go and get some immediately.
