They are conveniently located in a shopping plaza with abundant parking though the spots right in front of the restaurants are usually occupied. This is an unassuming place, but don't let that deter you from going in and ordering some delicious food. There is available but limited seating within the shop front of the restaurant. I highly recommend their barbecue chicken and while you are at it, make sure and order an extra bottle of their hot barbecue sauce. it is spicy and delicious! This time around, I ordered the barbecue chicken with beans and rice, and it came with a side of salad and a piece of bread. Unfortunately, I was unable to take pictures of the food as I ordered to take away and by the time I got home, and pulled out my phone, the family beat me to it and started to eat the food! We placed the order via telephone for pick up and they hostess at the restaurant was very pleasant and smiling. If you have not tried Jamaican cuisine before and want an option that is very tasty, I would recommend visiting this restaurant. read more

The owner operator was very nice. I ordered the jerk chicken tacos. They were out of one ingredient so he gave me the jerk Wing meal! It was very well done. As we tried the curry fries, which proved to be tastes. Music a little loud for tight seating area... all in all a nice Jamaican fast restaurant. A little pricey read more

Jerk chicken was good. Plantains were not in my opinion. Service was just ok. Wait for food was lengthy. No substitutes to the menu. Pricing is steep. Definitely a one and done read more

I was dropping off my friend at the airport, but we wanted dinner first. I jumped on Yelp and looked for a new spot to try. We arrived at 6:30 PM and placed our orders. I had the small jerk chicken served with rice and peas (aka beans) and coleslaw. I also ordered the sweet plantains. This was some of the best jerk I've ever had the pleasure of eating! It was juicy, tender, and falling off the bone. Plus, it had a slight kick a few seconds after each bite. I'm not a huge rice fan, but the dish was tasty. I'm not sure what dressing was on the coleslaw, possibly lemon or lime, but I liked it. It was much lighter than the typical choice of mayo based slaw. The plantains tasted yummy, but were less firm than I've had in the past. I heated the leftovers on my baking stone and the plantains firmed up nicely. Service was good and our food was cooked fresh to order. I can't wait to go back to try more menu items. That is if I can stay away from the jerk chicken;) read more

I was craving some jerk chicken and wanted to give this place a try. It is a small shop with a drive thru window and I got my order pretty quickly. The jerk chicken tasted very good, but the bbq sauce on top made it strange for me. The curry fries were thick cut fries smothered with a rich gravy. Be careful though, there are bones in the gravy. My daughter said the jerk chicken was great, but she said she became sick and thinks it was the curry fries. read more

Don't let the small storefront fool you. This is some great jerk bbq. I ordered Two grab & go lunch orders of jerk chicken. It's served in a large paper bowl with rice and peas and a vinegar based slaw. The jerk was flavorful and the slaw worked perfectly when you have everything together out when eating a little with the rice after eating some chicken. The service was a little slow but honestly that's to be expected. I've never been to a Jamaican restaurant where I didn't have to wait. I'll definitely return. read more

In true Jamaican fashion, we left full and happy! This place is a true gem! Hubby and I were just wandering towards home and decided to stop anywhere that caught our eye. Happened upon this spot purely by chance and thrilled we did! I eat like a bird so I just ordered a side of rice and peas and some plantains. Hubby had the "small" jerk plate with fries. There was nothing small about any of this! We could have easily fed us both with just his plate, even if I was a pig! There were at least four pieces of chicken and I broke some up and ate it with my rice. The food was amazing! Everything cooked and spiced to perfection. To be clear, this is a Jamaican BBQ spot, another reviewer was out off by the sauce but that's how Jamaican bbq comes! I also totally disagree with the burnt ends being bad, those are the best parts! Everyone knows that, there's an entire restaurant called burnt ends! Everything we had was fantastic and I can't wait to come try more! The curry is supposed to be amazing. I've been to Jamaica and while no expert, I really felt it was an authentic flavor and feel. 100% will return! read more

The food didn't taste fresh. The service was ok. Ambiance was ok. The menu can also use some different sides. I didn't see Mac and cheese on the menu which is usually an option. I will not be returning. read more

When ordering I was told there would be a bit of a wait because everything is cooked to order. I said that was more than fine. When I got my food it was more than worth the wait. I got the jerk fish and it was cooked to perfection and the flavor was phenomenal. The rice had great flavor as well and wasn't dry Everything was cooked with love. I only regret one thing.... They apparently sell and bottle their jerk sauces. I highly recommend buying some as it's delicious! read more

Love the home style meals and the PATTYS! Small hole in the wall with great food. Always quick to go food.

Delicious jerk chicken and rice. So tender :). Been coming here everyday for lunch for the past week. Nice people. A special place.

The quality and service has definitely gone down here. The chicken was so burnt that you couldn't even taste the normally delicious sauce they use, also the half slice of bread was a bit disappointing. I would expect this plate from a cookout not an actual business. read more

Foood was freshly prepared while I waited. Place was clean and decorum was reflective of the Caribbean. The cashier was very nice, kind and knowledgeable when asking about the menu. The music was at a comfortable level. The food was hot and delicious. The jerk was "real" jerk from the grill not baked in an oven. I highly recommend this place as long as they are consistent with freshness, hospitality and great food portions. read more

7:00 on a Monday night they were out of everything except shrimp and fish. We left without eating.

The owners are amazing people. Best food around. Fast, fresh and taste is mind blowing. The prices are amazing get so much food for the price. Wish there was more locations but worth the drive from the Westside. read more

10 out of 10! From Louisiana and this was our first time eating Jamaican food. My whole family got something different and we all ate out of each others plate!!! AMAZING!!! highly recommended. He was very nice, also. Please visit if you're ever in Jacksonville!!! read more

Best jerk chicken! Owners are very nice and you can buy a bottle of the sauce. It is soooo good!

This food buss I ordered the jerk chicken with rice and peas and a side of sweet plantain. The plantain was perfectly cooked, and the chicken delicious as well as the rice. Even the cabbage on the side was a great way to reset the palate. Great food. They also have good lunch specials. Check this place out. read more

Perfect portion of deliciousness on a Monday afternoon! I enjoyed the spice level of the jerk chicken. I'll be back!

Well we went here and wanted to try something unique. I've had jerk chicken at plenty of places and wanted to go a different route. I wanted to order oxtails and they "weren't quite ready" at 1 in the afternoon. Another person I was with ordered the goat curry, they were out of that. They were out of beef patties. They were out of white meat grilled chicken. For a small menu it is crazy to be out of everything. That left us with only one option, the jerk chicken bone-in. We all got the jerk chicken and honestly, nothing special. The rice was 99% rice with little beans. Cabbage blend was bland. Jerk chicken was burnt and bland and somehow the large I ordered looked exactly the same as the small one someone else ordered. Oh and the bread roll is not a roll, it is a cut of Walmart French bread. The music was also blaring loud and we asked to turn it down and said they would "a little" but ended up not doing so even though we were the only people dining in. Will not be going back and do not recommend. read more
