Amazing, wonderful service is amazing, so nice, so kind of food. It's amazing. She was wonderful to drink, were good. A good spot to go to me and my family love it here read more

Food is really good! Plenty of rice and chicken for the small plate. Unfortunately my cabbage was cold, uncommon but maybe that's how they roll. Also, service was a little shaky I was the only customer and 3 people greeted me before placing an order. Lastly, the lunch should include a side, so consider reworking the portions so it's more than meat and rice. Would've been a 4 rating if based just on the food! read more

The food was disgusting, cold and old! I can't believe I spent money here again with this bull crap!!! They need to shut them down! Disgusting. read more

This was our first time trying this new spot in colonial heights. It has a nice parking lot and inside has enough seating area. Furniture is older but very comfortable. We were greeted immediately when we walked in. The white meat for the jerk chicken was too dry for my liking. The sauce was little too hot for me. I usually order my jerk without sauce to get the grill taste I enjoy. The pepper steak was flavorful and better than Queens on hull street. The beef patty was not too flaky like some places (which is a good thing). The cabbage was flavorful and tender. Usually at other places it is not done enough and has no flavor. The Mac and cheese was very good as well. (Like grandma's). The music is great and made me feel like I was on vacation. The daiquiris are on point. I tried the Hurricane and the 190 Octane. They get the job done for sure. They're a must try. I would return for the daquiris and pepper steak for sure. read more

I ordered ahead from DoorDash before they opened. Brown stew chicken with Mac and cheese. Place opened at 11, got a notification at 1150am that I was being refunded for the Mac n cheese because it was out of stock. Food got here nice and hot, I was really looking forward to this meal but I can't stick my fork in it. I took a bite and found it to be very hard, dry, and salty. I was really looking forward to eating this meal. I even told my friend she should order but I had to call her back after this. Just disappointed. read more

Stopped by for lunch with my friends today and we were pretty impressed. I have passed by this place multiple times and never stopped because it took me a while to realize that it was even back here. The signs with the daiquiris on it finally grabbed my attention enough to search online for what this place offers. I grabbed the brown stew chicken plate with rice and beans, and cabbage. I also got a cocoa bread and a bottled Jamaican cola. All of the drinks other than the daiquiris are in bottles, but they have a couple of choices: Jamaican ginger beer, pineapple soda or regular champagne cola, and then bottled water, Coca Cola and sprite. My friends ordered the jerk chicken plates with string beans and cabbage and rice, and a side of plantains. I loved the brown stew chicken. It was so tender, it fell off the bone. The flavor was delightful, and I really liked the spices they used in the chicken, the string beans and the cabbage. All of the spices together were great, and it was really well-balanced so none of them stuck out as overly-aggressive. It was very well done. The rice and beans were a tad dry, but that tends to happen in restaurants I feel, so I'm not going to hold that against them, I'll just opt to try one of the other side options next time. The cocoa bread was slightly bigger than my whole hand, but was very fluffy so it is DEFINITELY worth the price. It tastes like a nice sweet roll and was awesome for sopping up brown stew. I loved the plantains too. They were still super creamy and soft on the inside, and the outside was crisp, but not super caramelized which I prefer because it is tidier, and doesn't hurt my teeth as much as some places that let it get really overcooked and brown and sugary on the outside. I'm sure that's just a preference and some people might disagree, but I think their plantains were my favorite I have had in a long while because of the texture. The vibe is sort of interesting. With three large TVs above the very large bar playing various things (sports, news, and something else), this place almost feels like a sports bar, but cleaner and with better lighting. Some catchy reggae-esque music playing too so it really did feel like a cleaner version of a sports bar. We didn't try the daiquiris since it was lunch time and we all still had to pick our kids up from school, but they had 6 different machines with flavors, and can make a ton of combinations from that, layering them to be super gorgeous. We were very tempted. I will definitely be back to try everything on the menu, the oxtails and curry goat and pretty much everything on the menu looks amazing, and I am DEFINITELY getting a daiquiri in the future. read more

On my only free Saturday in a long time I wanted something good and Caribbean or in this case Caribbean-esq was the move. I ordered pepper steak (I should have ordered the shrimp curry) with two side dishes-small order. My side dishes were macaroni and cheese and the cabbage. I also ordered a veggie patty. The pepper steak was tasty and they give you a lot. The macaroni and cheese was good, and so was the cabbage. But, in all the Caribbean food I have tried, I have never had mixed vegetables in my cabbage and It's the mixed vegetables with string beans and corn that you would put in the soup. I mean, your girl ain't complaining because it hit the spot, it's just different from what I'm used to, that's all I'm saying. It was a little saltier than I would have liked, but it was not overwhelming. They told me that this was the same place that used to be Petersburg. I was there years ago and I only had oxtails. I think I'll try them- the restaurant and it's oxtails again. I definitely recommend that you get the veggie patties to eat with your stuff. So go to this place then take your meal and a nice cold cup of something to drink in front of X-Files or law and order of any flavor that you've already have seen 9 million times and baby.... you're in for a time. read more

My oxtail meal was really tasty! I ordered food through uber. I ordered a large oxtail dinner and picked rice & beans and cabbage as my sides. All of the food was very flavorful and cooked with love. Things were done just about right. The rice and beans were just moist enough from a rich dark gravy from the oxtail and well seasoned, The cabbage was more finely cut than I've had in a while, making it feel like a step up, and not like someone just took a hatchet to a cabbage head. The oxtail was just right. I think they have a big daiquiri menu at the restaurant. When I initially drove by the place and didn't know what it was, I thought it was some kind of asian tropical frozen smoothie place because it had a big sign with a frozen drink that said "Daq.". I couldn't order any if the drinks off of Uber Eats so I will need to go there soon in person. read more

The daiquiri had white particles in it and the oxtails didn't taste good at all. The cabbage wasn't cooked or seasoned as well as it should have been read more

Stopped by for lunch and had a jerk chx bowl w rice & peas. Jerk sauce was too sweet and not spicy at all. It was ok... I'd like to try it without the sauce next time I'm in the area. My gf had the oxtail dinner and loved it. I tried a daiquiri, can't remember the name.... It was too sweet, too tangy, too boozy and I couldn't finish it. I'd definitely return. Staff very friendly. read more

Thief food is soooo amazing! The flavors are there for sure! I had the ox tail and it was tender and well seasoned. The cabbage is soon good. Everything me and my husband ate was very good. While I was waiting for my food, I smelled someone's wings as they were being served. I literally tasted their wings with my nose and it was good lol. The frozen Daqs are really good too. Will be coming back! read more

I ordered oxtails with rice and cabbage. I also had an order of wings for my daughter. I also had a Pina colada and strawberry drink. I'm not going to lie my drink was excellent. But it's no way those oxtails were fresh. They were black as tar and dried up. I've never had oxtails that weren't juicy. Ordinarily if you get a dish like that you have a little spillage of gravy in your bag but that gravy wasn't going nowhere. A total waste of money. Imma still support my black businesses just not this one. read more

Amazing food! Great proportions of food... I am definitely returning. I love the Curry Chicken, Rice&Beans, & Cabbage.

I went there for the 1st time today. They forgot to add rice and beans and salad. I got Mac and cheese. I said I want a large oxtail and a large curry chicken with "everything" on it. And add mac and cheese. They didn't add rice and beans and salad. When I said everything on it means add rice and bean and salad. They need to buy better cups and lids on top. I got my drinks and it spilled sometime. read more

This place is a great spot to grab some really good Caribbean/ Jamaican food. Stopped by in the middle of the day and the place is booming with great music and great service. They have daiquiris if you're looking for a drink and they are strong!! The place was busy but the wait was not bad food was pipping hot and fresh. Definitely coming back to try the whole menu. read more
