This restaurant has a serious roach infestation. I mean baby German roaches. I'm praying that's not where the flavor came from.

Definitely one of the better Jamaican food places in northern Florida…read more Cabbage is cooked 100% perfect , first time I have ever ate my cabbage without hot sauce. Jerk chicken is well made jerk just not spicy enough for me but still good Rice and peas are dark and have good flavor Curry chicken is pretty solid , I would save some of it with some rice and peas then put it over eggs for breakfast They even have plantains and they are proper Prices are pretty decent to Only one I have found better in northern Florida and the panhandle is K & L Authentic Jamaican Cuisine in Tallahassee . They are the best outside Jamaica hands down

So, sitting in my cousins livingroom debating what we were going to eat. I initially wanted Asian…read more Opened my DoorDash app and spices popped up. I asked my cousin because they live here. Whats better than supporting your own people, Caribbean it was. Ordered a Jumbo oxtail plate and a regular jerk chicken plate. Picked up the order bag was tied and ready to go. We left came to the house and opened them plates. Pure disappointment. I think the restaurant did this because the food was already paid for. EVERYONE WHO EATS HERE AND ORDERS ONLINE, HAVE THEM UNTIE THE BAG AND SHOW YOU YOUR FOOD. How does a Jumbo oxtail plate look like a regular plate? If i order extra gravy i want the gravy from the meat i ordered. Not a jarred sauce. My cousins jerk plate was dry as h3ll. I asked him has his plates in the past looked dry? He said no, he mentioned that his past plates the chicken is juicy with tons of gravy. Very disappointing for a black owned restaurant. I dont want to blame the restaurant as a whole as we know how the food comes out based on how the chef is preparing plates. The chef for September 09, 2026 was not hitting and needs to be reevaluated. I have let my family know who frequents this place to put that on pause. My cousin is already hesitant about returning. And i know when i return next year i definitely will not be back. I should have taken pictures but didnt. Just know people check your plates before you leave.

It's like I ate at a different place than everyone else. There was one other party in the…read morerestaurant when we walked in at dinner time. We ordered chicken curry, jerk chicken, jerk ribs, and Rasta pasta with chicken breast. We also had the Jamaican patty as an appetizer. The Jamaican patty was ok, it got better as you ate it. Probably the most flavorful thing I tasted actually. My husband's ribs tasted like Costco ribs with jerk seasoning, pretty meh. The red beans and rice was alright but not great. My friend said her jerk chicken and the curry were alright. I had a small bite of the chicken curry and pulled several bones out of my mouth. I don't mind a leg bone or a thigh bone but when I'm pulling the little bones out that are no bigger than your fingernail, I'm not thrilled. My Rasta pasta was the biggest disappointment. The odd choice of vegetables makes sense when it arrives and you see it's literally frozen California vegetable blend that was microwaved and tossed in there. The red pepper and onion slices were so small they were more for color than flavor. The pasta was served in a "sauce" that was very thin, more like a broth, and not very flavorful. The chicken was also frozen and reheated, you could see the fake grill marks on it. It's like the dish you make when you arrive home drunk at 2:35 and are just throwing together whatever you have, but more poorly executed.

It feels good to come to a restaurant and consistently get the same taste that you had before. I never want my food to be better or worse, I just love consistency. That's what makes up loyal customers. I always get the same thing no matter what Caribbean place I go to; jerk chicken (or any meat I'm craving jerked), rice and peas (which is just rice and beans married together), cabbage, a side of plantains (my absolute favorite when they're cooked right) and a spicy Jamaican patty (since they're readily available) while I wait. This is TOP 3 for my favorite Caribbean places in Jacksonville, FL!!!

My mother made a separate order for jerk chicken, so I Informed her of them not having the jerk chicken.

My parents waited maybe the same amount of time for their food then gets told they don't have the jerk chicken... time management was terrible.
