A great foray into Haitian cuisine. The Haitian Griyo dish was delicious and quite massive for the…read moreprice. It contained griyo (fried pork shoulder), rice and beans, bannann peze (fried plantains), pikliz (pickled veggies), side salad, and Sos Ti-Malice (warm hot sauce). The fried items in the dish were both flavorful and quite tender. The pikliz (pickled veggies) were a necessary, very tasty complement to the dish. The hot sauce was nice and quite balanced spice-wise. I also got the Soursop with Ginger and Lime drink (ask for their fresh juices). It was refreshing, with an intense ginger burn after each sip. However, it was pretty expensive at ~$9. Note that certain pictured menu items may not be available and other available items may not be on the menu. Definitely ask them for the current day's items. +1 for the solid service!

The restaurant was beyond dirty, apparently left in a very poor condition from the day before. The cleanliness was extremely concerning, and honestly, I believe the health department should inspect this place as soon as possible. A restaurant should not be operating in such an unsanitary environment. Unfortunately, the food was horrible, and the drink was nasty. The prices were expensive, there was no parking, and the entire experience made me feel sick. I truly do not understand how this place has a 4-star rating. In my experience, it was the complete opposite--sloppy, unprofessional, and unacceptable. **Stay away from this place. I would not recommend it to anyone.**

Some highlights: Garlic shrimp - these were huge and juicy with the perfect amount of garlic flavor. Having this on the rice and beans was heaven on a place and I had several helpings of this! Chicken - this was a little spicy for me, but that's just a personal preference. I could tell that this was well seasoned and people more tolerant to spice would love this - the chicken was still juicy and saucy. This also pairs well with the rice and beans! Plantains - nothing over the top but a nice sweeter bite to balance out the plate. Yummy! Mac n cheese - this was one I wasn't super crazy about - I think a bit more cheese would have been nice here but it wasn't a bad bite. All in all, 4/5 as there were some dishes that didn't blow me away, but the garlic shrimp with the rice and beans is to die for. Would happily have this again or go to the food truck location to order it!

Service was quick, seeing as you order from the counter. We ordered the jerk chicken plate with plantains and mac & cheese, and the oxtail plate with curry vegetable stew and rice & beans! The jerk chicken was tender and cooked nicely but wasn't the jerk flavor I was used to. It was a wet sauce instead of a dry rub and kinda tasted like teriyaki...? The plantains were normal, nothing crazy. Mac and cheese was lowkey yum, not too thick. Oxtail was better than the jerk chicken flavor-wise but the meat wasn't cooked as well. The meat didn't fall off the bone like other oxtail does :( The sauce was also a bit thin so it didn't coat the meat as well. The rice & beans were solid, had flavor to it and was even better with the sauce from oxtail. The veggie stew was good too but again, nothing crazy. Overall, I was very satisfied with my meal but unsure if I would go again. There are so many other places in/near JP that I would try first. Still, if you're looking for fast casual Jamaican food, check this place out!!

My husband really liked his very first Jamaican patty (he got the last chicken patty). This place is a gem. Wish there was better parking but I was glad to get some exercise. Staff were friendly. Prices were reasonable. Food was of good quality. I was interested in trying the oxtail meal but it was $25 so I opted for something else. It was lunch time when we got there and they weren't that busy. There was a group where there was a toddler who was being loud and obnoxious. I know the staff wasn't responsible for something like that but if was disruptive to other customers and the mother or guardian was clearly not doing anything about it, I think staff should gently remind the party that they should be considerate to other customers.

The food took forever to arrive and when it did, it was obvious it was an afterthought. The rice was cold and undercooked, the jerk chicken smelled stale, the lamb shank was hard and cold in some spots. Everything tasted like it was sitting around and reheated but barely. My friend didn't even take a second bite of her entree and when the waitress finally came to give us the check, she asked why the plates were full and we were honest with her but she brushed it off and gave us the check. Zero attempt to rectify it. Please don't neglect your actual customers. If you know your staff will be busy. close the restaurant or host those types of events during non-peak or non-business hours. The ambiance was lovely. Good music. nice decor and lighting. Again, the space was too cold but not as bad as the previous time.
