My wife and I have been meaning to stop by and check this place out. We've heard some positive…read morethings about this food truck from a neighbor from Jamaica we met at the pickleball courts. It's been a few years since we've tried Jamaican food...perhaps not since we lived in Hawaii 8 years ago. In any case, when we pulled up, we realized there were 2 other food trucks in the area along with a produce stand. After perusing the menu, I ordered the jerk chicken ($16 for medium) and my wife ordered the jerk pork ($16 for medium). I also ordered the spicy jerk sauce ($2) when I was asked if I wanted it. We took our orders home and they were still warm. My wife and I both liked the salad, fried plantains, and the seasoned rice the jerk meats were served with. The jerk chicken had decent flavors but it wasn't spicy at all. Adding the spicy jerk sauce helped but even that wasn't all that spicy. My wife thought her pork was tender and had good flavors. Portion size was good as we had leftovers for another meal. We're not really Jamaican food connoisseurs, but I recall bolder flavors from previous jerk chicken I've tried before, both at someone's home and at restaurants. Lunch for 2 came out to $34 not including tip.

Interior was clean, friendly & like an old town haunt you visit regularly. Big menu & diverse (I like that). We both ordered the Patty melt on marbled rye with fried onions & Swiss cheese, comes with hand-cut French fries. We were pleasantly happy with our selection, a thick patty that met the edges of the bread. A big yumm. Service was quick & friendly, plate was reasonably priced. We will be back.

Tom had a 'Good Ol' Benny' that he said was perfect. I had a Benny Florentine Omelet that was tasty and large enough to take some home for Monday's breakfast.

I ordered the large roasted pork and it was incredible: salty, shredded, tender goodness. Reminded me of Michoacan style carnitas but shredded. A fantastic pairing to their perfect yellow rice. What really took this over the top were the black beans. Not sure if the pork or the beans were the star of this show as both were equally mind blowing. One of the best meals I've had in a while. Pro tip: a large meal is more than enough for 2 people. It comes with 1 protein and 2 sides.

Everything I ate was seasoned perfectly cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious!!!! The staff was awesome!! The only complaint I have which really isn't a complaint.

Baked beans, huge ball of mashed potatoes had No seasoning. Thank "heaven" the gravy was on the side . Fried looked w/ mac n chees, collars looked good. Chops were lightly breaded n fried, but Mac n collards were not seasoned( lacked salt/pepper, meaty smokey zing to greens). Im sorry, I wanted it to be great, seeing its location and the little n cheerful "Gg" at the register (she was a delight). One thing we really liked was the hot corn muffin. Tasty. The kitchen seemed to lack "soul" -ful touch, if you know what I mean :/ Another half star off for dead bug at baseboard floor. 2 n half stars :/

So - we have passed by this place for about two years before we decided to stop. Wasn't quite sure…read morewhat to expect but were highly impressed. This is a place where the folks know you by name and the staff make your experience enjoyable. Walking in there the first time - you can sense they knew we were new to the place and were very nice. Second time there they remembered us - now we walk in the door and they ask us if it's the cinnamon bun or french toast muffin morning :) You cant go wrong with either and their coffee is amazing as well. Get there early if you wan the cinnamon bun or muffins - they don't last long - for a reason! It's that kinda hometown place where you feel like home. We have yet to have something we wouldn't order again. Quality and quantity of food is exceptional and they will customize your food the way you like it. We have had quite a few things on their menu and nothing fell short of amazing. Staff is extremely attentive and super friendly - your mug or drink will not go more than half full before being refilled. Not sure how this place only has a 3.7 rating - I would give this place a 5 every day of the week. We actually deviate from our GPS directions when heading places to stop there to eat on the weekends. Even when there is a crowd waiting to be seated - it goes by quick. Seen a few folks get deterred by a few people waiting - we never waited more than a few minutes. They have daily specials that are posted on the boards that you cant go wrong with ordering and are a great value. The only regret we have is not trying this place sooner when we moved here. This is definitely our favorite breakfast place and ranks in the top 2 of our favorite lunch spots.
