Two years ago, I had an unfortunate experience regarding food hygiene at the establishment. I found a hair in my meal, and when I brought this to the owner's attention, the focus seemed to shift towards defending her actions rather than addressing my concerns. Ultimately, the owner did apologize and offered gift cards, but by that point, I felt that the initial concern had not been adequately addressed. I believe that improving the response to such situations could enhance customer satisfaction in the future. When I shared my experience online this week the owner chose to go back and forth with me and once again minimized the sanitation issue.

Owners response

I've been coming here for going on 3 years and I promise you I will never be back. The service continues to go further and further down hill. The young lady that works the front counter makes it her mission to let you know how much you ordering is a burden to get. Today I went in I have over 700 points which they have always marketed you can use 100 points for 5 dollars off. Today I go in to use my points and of course now it takes 3 people to push the is through they only allow me to use one of the coupons then say they are rolling back the rewards program. So I ask can I use them on desserts and I'm told yes then I go to order desserts one by one (which total over 5 dollars per purchase so either way they are still making more money) and I'm told oh wait it only applies to specific dessert the ones that happen to be out of stock. I ask can i use it on normal food items she says yes, then i ask to order another item and use my points Now it's you have to spend 25 dollars to use your dollars off. I ask to cancel my order she ask the guy in front of her in the kitchen if it's been started he said they haven't worked and and she turns around as if I'm not 1 for from them to tell me they already started cooking it so it can't be canceled. Mind you my food was given to me with an attitude, and lukewarm. Note the owners snarky remarks on my Google review show where they stand. But since I can't reply to them there no I was joy upset I couldn't use all my points at once nor would using all my points have made my order free. I'm glad to see how they treat the community that has supported them. I was upset that the cashier made it feel like it was a bother to take my order in the first place and then the rules behind using my points changed 4 times in 10 minutes even after confirming with her before trying to make the next transaction. A simple message of "Hello ma'am we are changing our reward system after super bowl weekend and currently points can only be applied once on a purchase of 25 dollars or more" would have given me as a patron and understanding as to this policy change without it coming across as personal because there wasn't a single message and the constraints kept changing on the spot. Love a business who can't take criticism and I stand by my word I pray they get everything they deserve . Furthermore as the "Owner" how am I ask random customer supposed to know who you are to address you about my service. If you were as you say "waiting for me to leave a review" then the fact that you had a disgruntled customer was apparent and you made ZERO attempt to address me or the situation. But that's yall standard of care I see.

HENNY CORNBREAD MUFFINS

My fiancé and I were looking for some grub. We were in the area and decided to check out a new-to-us spot. So glad we landed here. We just missed the lunch special by about 10 minutes, but arrived just in time to be early for happy hour. The menu options are all tempting and plentiful. I wanted everything. We ordered almost everything on the right side of the menu, lol What we had: Appetizers/Sides *HENNY CORNBREAD MUFFINS *EGG ROLLS - YAMMY (yams + macaroni and cheese) *EGG ROLLS - JERK CHICKEN *PLANTAINS *CARIBBEAN CABBAGE *MACARONI AND CHEESE Entrée *CHICKEN RASTA PASTA *OXTAIL + RICE AND PEAS Booze *me: WATERMELON SLUSHIE *he: LONG ISLAND ICED TEA *we: RUM PUNCH + BACARDI 151 Dessert *HENNY PEACH COBBLER Everything was so good -- flavorful, just enough spice, hearty portions. We'll definitely be back soon, so we can order from the left side of the menu...and dessert(s). Ha! __ I eat. @f.hux I thrift. @DCthriftish

Whiting...greens underneath. (barely visible)

First time stopping in this place and they can cook. The menu is kind of a soul food Caribbean sort of morph. I had a fried pork chop sandwich which was nicely seasoned but there was no mayo or nothing on the bread it was just dry white bread. I took that home so I can fix it up to my liking. Jerk wings are really good, whole wings. They clearly use HOT jerk seasoning rather than mild - which can become kind of overbearing unless you like your food bitterly hot. I don't. My business partner had some whiting, greens, and yams. The whiting was excellent - very nicely seasoned and moist. The greens were good too. I'd give them a a solid 8 and 1/2 for 9 out of 10. We both agreed the "Henny" yams are like baby food. Overly sweet baby food pie filling mush. The cornbread muffin, on the other hand, was excellent. They say it's regular cornbread but I swear it's moist, sweet and delicious like cake. Like a sweet potato cake muffn. The drinks are fountain and the lemonade one didn't have anything, but water in it. They must have ran out of lemonade. You order at the counter and the cashier brings you to your food. There's a bar with beer and wine too, which is a nice touch. I saw three mixing machines with different daiquiris in them as well. It's really kind of a cafe quick serve establishment... but with a liquor license. Flat screens on the walls, none but one was turned on. This place has good ambiance, decent bathrooms and a creatively enticing menu. It's worth a stop if you happen to be in the area.

Food was so good , everything was delicious ! The chicken was cooked perfectly, you can tell from the picture! The inside they have a DJ on certain days and more of a "grown and sexy" crowd and music and they're highly rated!

Jerk chicken lunch special with yellow rice.  I had already eaten a piece or two of chicken at this point.
Matt A.

First time here but will definitely come back when I'm in the area. Will probably move to 5 stars after the second go around. The restaurant has an open dining room layout with a small bar and TV. Caribbean and bbq/soul food being served out of a small strip mall location. Place was clean and service was good. Food was also excellent - I went with the jerk chicken lunch special with rice. The rice was buttery goodness and the jerk chicken was delicious.

Paul over her making these good drinks.

There is a small dining area with a couple of long benches, but mostly wooden tables. There is a TV on the walWas greeted by Bree's friendly smile and placed my order for the jerk ribs meal. Bree came to tell me that my ribs would be a little longer because they needed to be perfect. Happy about service like that! The ribs were delicious with a little bit of heat. Mine came with rice and peas and the mixed stir fry vegetables. Rice and peas can sometimes be a little dry, but that's not a worry here- they were really good! Some Jamaican restaurants in the area give you a couple of slivers of fried plantains to accent your meal. I was informed, "we don't do that here." Maybe they'll consider adding that little touch that would've taken my meal over the top.

The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the mac and cheese was decent--especially since I wasn't sure what to expect. The most disappointing part was the rice and peas; I was hoping for a bit more flavor. Overall, given the lack of Jamaican restaurants in NoVA, this spot was decent, and I'd return to try some of the other sides. Customer service was great. Initially I chose mixed veggies as a side but changed it to mac and cheese with no issues at all; the staff was more than willing. The restaurant itself is spacious compared to most Jamaican spots and is located right next to BJ's. Lunch prices are reasonable, though the regular entrées are on the pricier side in my opinion. That said, the lunch portion was more than enough.

Despite this unwelcome appearance I approached the nondescript counter and after a minute someone came from the kitchen area to help me. I hadn't been there before so I asked for a menu. She told me they didn't have one and I had to look at the menu on their website. Oooook. That's odd, and even more odd that she didn't direct me to the correct website (because apparently I looked at the wrong one since I asked for a menu item they no longer offer). I ordered the Rasta Chiclen Pasta and the Brown Stewed Chicken Dinner. Fortunately the food was pretty good. The Rasta pasta had a nice flavor with its onions, peppers and ranch sauce. Be warned though that it is quite spicy and not for the faint of heart! The stewed chicken was good and it too had cabbage, potatoes, chicken and rice. My enjoyment ceased however when I bit into something hard in the boiled potato. Oh well, so much for culinary delight. Potato aside, if they can simply work on the presentation of the store upon entry and at least have a few chairs out for customers to sit in while they wait for their food it would be a major upgrade!

After drooling over the plates that went by, we asked the owner to help us narrow down our options. We landed on the Chicharron Sampler for an appetizer. For our main courses, we had the Bandeja Paisa and the Paella Caribena. We were also eyeing the Dominican-style beef stew and the Sancocho Soup. We asked for a sample of the Sancocho soup and that's when we found out they make everything to order - including the soup! His wife went into the kitchen and whipped up a sample of the soup ... we didn't mind the wait for the sample as we knew she was working her magic! It did not disappoint. We ordered a large soup to go! It'll be cold later this week and this will be perfect in the rainy weather. This place reminds me of home - the way my mother cooks ... the flavors are developed and everything was cooked to perfection. I did a little dance in my chair with each bite! The portions were large - we'll have left overs for the next several days! And I CANNOT wait! We're looking forward to coming back and trying something new! PHOTO DISCLOSURE: We dove into the Chicharron Sampler before we took the photo. What you see is just a small portion of the actual serving size. Also, the photo of the soup was the made from scratch made to order sample of the Sancocho soup.

So I pulled in, parked, walked in and the restaurant was cleaned with a beautiful bar. I ordered 3 items: 1) Beef empanadas 2) Cuban sandwich 3) Buffalo wings. As the appetizers arrive to the table, though I only chose one empanada out of the three flavors they offer: cheese, beef or chicken. I chose beef which was served with a special sauce (mayo and ketchup), because it was well seasoned and the filling was packed, the sauce wasn't needed. The crust was thin, flaky and delicious on its own. The buffalo wings served their homemade ranch, with 8 pieces were juicy, tender and delicious. Unfortunately the Cuban sandwich fell flat for me. The ingredients were ham, cheese, roasted pork, pickles, mayonnaise and mustard. The sandwich was flattened like a panini and I was excited for the first bite but the protein was too dry. As I lift the bread, there was only a teaspoon mayo and mustard spread. It was served with matchstick fries and a ramekin of ketchup. I wanted to ordered desserts but unfortunately they do not make all of their homemade desserts (flan, tres leches, rice pudding) every day. You will have to called in to see what they have before dining in. The only dessert available that day was their flan. My server Karla was friendly and attentive. I would make another visit to try other items on their menu.

Current chicken was very flavorful and had definitely the curry taste to it (not like Indian or Asian curry though). The jerk pulled pork surprisingly had a Smokey taste and the sauce was flavorful!
