The owner was sooooo sweet and the portions are huge which sucks because I didn't want to eat anymore. The taste was lacking so much. I will never return. The prices are way too high for the food to be so bland. I am from the Caribbean and took someone here to tell them they would love Haitian food. They had oxtail and said the portion size was awesome but no flavor whatsoever. The rice was also very dry. The pickliz did not taste fresh at all, in fact it tasted almost spoiled. Maybe I caught em on a bad day but spent $50 on two meals that we did not finish bc the flavor was lacking so bad. The portions are ok, mostly just a pan of rice but give them a try for yourself! You may enjoy it.

Food: ackee and saltfish with fried dumplings, oxtail, curry chicken, jerk chicken, orange chicken and fried chicken. All were delicious but the jerk chicken was the only disappointment and I'm not sure why- it was flavorful seasoned and tender but it didn't quite hit like "jerk chicken". It was good but I wouldn't quite call it jerk chicken like I remember. The picky eater LOVED the fried chicken so that is a wonderful option for the less adventurous. Service: I kept getting text updates with what my family wanted so as they came in I added each one. They all came with plantain and the woman mentioned in a VERY calm and considerate way that it would be more helpful if I let her know ahead of time if there were going to be more because she made the plantain fresh for each one. Ambiance: I got take out but while I was there some folks were eating and they looked very happy with their food and service. Clean, casual, quiet and well lit. Eating in is definitely a reasonable option. Overall- I definitely recommend.

All in all it's not bad deeming you get the chicken but also a side choice of only white rice or rice and peas (they also do I believe a salad of some sort but unsure what was used to make it) and if I have a small gripe to me personally I just wish they had more chicken than what I got (the photo will show this) but I do sense that they have the Jamaican cuisine down pat & just hope if you get a meal towards the 4PM bit portion aspects may be high ( myself I in a way wonder was the time when I ordered in the lunch aspects). Well least you know.

I went on a Saturday during lunchtime, and I was blown away with the crazy amounts of people coming in. Service was absolutely amazing. Every worker was super friendly. The line moved fast with the number of workers they have. The first bite of the rice and beans was heaven. It brought me back to my grandmother's cooking. They have so many choices of authentic Puerto Rican food. This place is 2 hours away from my house but I guarantee you I'll be coming here quite often. They have seating but like I said first come first serve. Get in here before any rush hours and you'll be ok. They have a great amount of breads as well as Spanish pastries. The amount of food you get for what you pay is crazy. I ordered rice and lentils, with red beans, and roasted pork. It was literally enough for lunch and dinner or two people. This was dine in, not sure how much you get for takeout. Smart me I ordered my kids there own meal which had to be taken home as well. This is a definite go-to spot for Puerto Rican food. The location isn't in the best of towns, but everyone there was friendly and there to chow down.

I'm always taken care of with courtesy and given my order promptly by the ladies that work there. One of my favorite things to get is the boneless fish with fries. The fried fish beats the usual "bland" fish and chips that you get at most other places and has a lot more flavor. The beef patties are another favorite of mine, nice and spicy with a little extra kick to them! I'm blessed to have Yaad Food so close to where I work for lunch.

When we told her we were not paying together and she needed to split the checks she left and came back with an attitude. There is no sign and no one communicates that they don't split checks or automatically add 18% gratuity onto your check. The service or food is not that good to have an automatic 18% gratuity added to the bill. There was one waitress/bartender so it took her awhile to get back to you.

Nice little location, plenty of tables to eat at in the dining section if you're inclined to eat there. Interesting murals on the walls and some pictures of prominent Jamaican people in history. They don't have a menu on the wall per se, but a paper menu on top of the counter you can look at that looks like it changes daily as well as a menu online. A nice young man rang up my order, which was quickly filled by a pleasant lady that I chatted with while she fulfilled my order. I gotta tell you my car was smelling good on the way home! Everything was wonderful, the oxtails were very flavorful, somewhat labor intensive to eat but hey.....that's oxtails! The jerk chicken had excellent flavor and with a decent spice level kick. The rice and peas were awesome as well as the steamed cabbage. We also picked up a jerk chicken sandwich on coco bread with fries (which was only $8.95!!!) that was very tasty and a couple of mild beef patties for good measure. We enjoyed every single item we brought home from 1Love. Definitely will be making a trip back again soon. Stop by and check them out, you won't be sorry you did!
