It was great food to nourish the soul after 12 hours in a car. The brisket burger was perfectly cooked. A good size Patti, pink in the center as we requested, with a big slab of juicy flavorful brisket on top. It was served with a beautifully executed coleslaw on a soft squishy bun. The french fries were well seasoned. We also ordered a beet salad, piled high with red and golden beets, and lots of flavorful textured toppings from pickled peppers, golden raisins to crunchy pork rinds. The salad dressing was a perfect compliment. The best part about the meal was Christiy. She was filled with great recommendations and a personality that just sparkled. After all those hours in a Car, she made us feel like she had personally welcomed us into her own home. We will be back next year on our way down to Florida.

So, I decided to try it again at the Tarrytown location in Rocky Mount but my expectations were a bit too high.When I got my sandwich this time, I could tell it wouldn't taste the same. The hummus was runny, and the veggies were just okay. The bread was so hard that I couldn't even eat the crust. I really wanted to enjoy it, but I didn't.

Buffet selection was small, more "odd" choices vs some standard items you'd see on a Chinese buffet. Quality of food was also eh, had maybe one or two things that I can say I truly enjoyed and the rest was tolerable. I see now that pricing for what is offered was brought up... definitely an issue. Three people and two sodas was slightly over $70! We could have went to a great restaurant for that cost. It was a bit dark and outdated inside. Walking around the buffet was also tight and you had to move out of people's way. Service was friendly at least. Def would never return unfortunately.

I arrived 20 minutes early since I was staying at the nearby hotel, so I was in their store for 40 minutes! I expected my soup to still be hot, the cinnamon rolls to be warm and the greens warm also. Everything was cold, like they forgot about my order. I spoke with someone twice in the front. Soup and the greens were very good. Decided to try again today, I wanted the soup again. This time ordered grits and turkey sausage patties and a 4 pack of biscuits. I arrived at the time expected. My food was cold again, and there were at least 4 other Togo orders. Soup was lukewarm, biscuits could have been cooked a bit longer. They forgot the honey I requested that shows on the receipt. Thank goodness the hotel has a microwave in the room. Gave 3 stars because I love the soup and biscuits.

Keep in mind that I like it real spicy so probably not for the faint at heart. The rice and peas, cabbage, and plantains were all cooked to perfection! I'm here for work from Delaware so it was a roll of the dice and I got a seven! Best decision I made all week. I ordered enough food to get me through my entire trip, but if I happen to overindulge, I'll be back during this trip. The ambiance was perfect as I felt like I was back on the island. Been to Jamaica a few time and they did a great job creating it right here to Rocky Mount! The service was excellent as they kept the Jamaica experience going. The chef came out of the back to ensure that everyone was enjoying the food which I secretly believe he knew we were! Anytime and I mean anytime I'm back in the area, I'll be heading right back to D Chill Spot!
