    Had to add a pineapple soda.

    Vibe: amazing customer service, super friendly and helpful! They run out of items so go earlier in the day, lol. Food: amazing! Jerk chicken (white meat 5/5). My daughter has ranked them #2 after M&F (she likes the balance in their jerk sauce) I'm ranking them #1 (the customer service pushed them ahead of M&F in my opinion). The rice and peas as well as the cabbage were good. The chicken was definitely the star of the show, more spicy but also well seasoned down to the bone! Delicious! Just go. That's the post.

    First time order from here. For lunch. It was amazing. Everything is fresh. Defiantly coming back. Service is good. Little bit of a wait. Well worth it. This was carry out.

    Rice was dry... island fried chicken was regular fried chicken, I was sad

    maybe I went to late or something but my rice was dry like falling off the fork dry smh. I ordered island fried chicken they were out of jerk chicken. the chicken was just fried chicken nothing special. the cabbage was just cabbage and carrots no special seasoning are anything. the chicken patty was the best thing. I wanted 20 minutes and I was very disappointed would try it again but I would rather not waste my money.

    Located at the intersection of Broad St and Hungary Spring Rd. I ordered the goat with peas and rice and cabbage, plus a beef patty... You know the vibes lol. I COULD NOT STOP EATING. I was overstuffed when it was finally gone, but it was too good to stop. The goat was tender and cooked with the usual spices and tings and just a little bit of heat. I had the pleasure of chatting with Chelsea. She let me know they just celebrated their 1 year anniversary of being open here in Richmond! The place is simple in appearance, but if you want good hearty Jamaican food to go, this is definitely a place w worth checking out!

    This place is such a gem! It's family-owned and the woman who served me was so warm and welcoming. Beyond that, the food is outstanding - it was hot and fresh, plus the portions are great. Seriously, this place is 10/10. It's so great to have an authentic Jamaican spot in this area!

    Walked into this place after picking up my alterations next door and was the best choice I made all day!! It seems like a hole in the wall where it is situated, but it's actually quite cozy inside with bar seating to look out the windows. There was a line when I stepped in, but considering there was only one lady working up front it was fast haha. She was friendly and got my food pretty quickly. The portions are generous even for a small. The jerk chicken and oxtail weren't overly oily which I have seen in other restaurants with this sort of food and had really good flavor. I'm not sure if jerk chicken is supposed to be spicier, but I was okay with the spice level. I could see others that might want more. Oxtail was amazing. I enjoyed the cabbage and there was so much rice that I'll probably have it for another meal. Couldn't get enough of the sauce. More sauce next time please!

    We got the curry goat and jerk oxtail. Both are good but I wish the oxtail is much tender that it goes off the bone on its own and a little spice. The staff were really friendly and the service was fast, she told me food will be ready after 15 mins but I didn't wait that long. The store was clean and well-lit.

    Jerk chicken, cabbage with rice and peas. The chicken was ok, I could taste the scotch bonnet which I loved. The rice and peas tasted like water and so did the cabbage. There was no love in this Jamaican food, still edible but definitely no love. I will not be back.

    I had been hearing about this spot in the West End...finally decided to give it a shot. Staff was super friendly and the restaurant was clean. It's more so of a takeout spot, so keep that in mind. They do DoorDash orders also. I ordered Jerk Chicken and a beef patty. All of my food was fresh and hot. I needed a little more jerk sauce on the chicken...other than that it was perfect. I'll be back!

    12/27/25 My wife and…read moreI were on the road traveling to Asheville for New Year's and needed a place to grab breakfast. I checked Yelp and found Buttery Bakery, so we decided to give it a try. It's not far off I-95, located in a nice small town with several restaurants that looked very good for dinner. Parking is mostly street parking, and while it's a bit limited, we were able to find a spot. Buttery Bakery is a small place. When you walk in, there's a counter with pastries on display and an order counter to the left. There's also a small seating area. My wife ordered a biscuit with egg, bacon, and cheese, and I had a croissant with bacon, egg, and cheese. Both were excellent. The croissant was extremely flaky and flavorful, and the biscuit was just as good. We also picked up a chocolate croissant to eat later. It was very good, though it could have used a bit more chocolate. Overall, this is a great stop for breakfast, and we would definitely return when we're in the area again.
