    Cole slaw, Mac n cheese and stewed oxtail
    Jessica W.

    Convenient parking, good service, huge portions! Most of my party got combination plates of wings, shrimp, and chicken wings. They let you swap out what kind of shrimp you get on request. Each dish comes with two sides AND a small salad with ranch. I got the stewed oxtail. Everything was soooo delicious. I am so glad we stopped here. We came during a meal lull but right before happy hour so we were able to order drinks. They are bogo cocktails but be aware they have to be two of the same drink. They didn't tell us that but were kind enough to give us the deal anyway since we paid for the more expensive drink. I would totally return. The restaurant is a front runner for a row of food shacks but most of them were closed when we visited.

    Oxtail stew
    Kat N.

    Delicious!! We loved everything we ordered. Everything was flavorful and well balanced. Service was also very helpful, polite, and quick. We especially enjoyed the oxtail stew, creole shrimp, Bami noodles, cole slaw, and Johnny cakes. Mac and cheese was decent. The setting is casual, but the restaurant is high quality. We will definitely return the next time we are on the island!

    Let me tell you...you had better not pass this spot up! GO, GO, GO!!!! It was a recommendation from a local islander and he was spot on! After looking at the menu, I seriously wanted to try everything! Some of my my top desired dishes were sold out. That's a great sign because it's that's good! I opted for the Ribs/Shrimp combo with Mac n cheese and peas and rice. EXCELLENT!! Located in Simpsonville on the main road. Parking is available on the street and in a lot. Don't miss out on this gem!!

    Came here based on recommendations received and it did NOT disappoint!! There is plenty of seating at this outdoor restaurant and the music is fire. We were greeted right away and provided menus. Our server was Jay and she took great care of us. She told us that everything on the menu was really good and we found that to be true. So good that they were sold out of several menu items when we arrived in the evening - curry chicken/goat, oxtail, plantains, so many things. So come early if you don't wanna miss out. We started with the bbq jerk chicken wings. You get 4 full wings and wow - best jerk wings I've had. For my meal I ordered the combo ribs and shrimps which came with 2 sides. I went for green salad and mac and cheese. That mac and cheese!!! Everyone in our group shared the same excitement about their food. We hope to come back while in the area to try the items that were sold out.

    We entered and the staff were welcoming and we were able to get a nice seat. The interior is clean…read moreand appealing. It would be great for a family or date. As I stated before the waiters and servers were top notch. With that said, the kitchen was the issue. My wife ordered a lobster bisque or should I say a soup. To add insult to injury, there was literally one chunk of lobster that was almost half inch in size. The family did enjoy the bread, but the main meals had several misses that caused this restaurant to be a two star. I will start with my wife who had the lasagna. She said it was really good and could have been a dish from Italy (We were there last December). My daughter had the gnocchi and a side of meatballs. She stated the gnocchi was bland, but the meatballs were good. My son, started as a couple failures. First he ordered a beef tenderloin fillet. After being told that they were out he ordered the New York strip medium rare. When the food finally made it to the table it was rare. After sending it back the second one was cooked better. However the steak you could taste the rosemary, but was still no salt. Once adding salt to the steak it tasted good. He ordered a side of pasta which he really enjoyed. Finally, my order, I ordered the whole lobster. To start, the size of this lobster for $79 was a joke and if the lobster was good, I would have felt better! Not having a Caribbean Lobster before I was not sure how it was supposed to be and I wished I would have asked when I took my first bite. The lobster was supposed to be a grilled item. I was so looking forward to this lobster to be TOTALLY disappointed! The lobster was actually over cooked. I only found out after I was leaving because I asked how the consistency was supposed to be. If you only care about scenery and pasta this is the place for you! Anything else, there are a lot of options in the area to choose from.

    The atmosphere is very peaceful, the music sets the tone for a very relaxing and peaceful…read moreexperience the view from our table was nice. The food was delicious, I had the lasagna and my husband had the Sale & Pepe pollo with vegetables both were delicious! Very nice portion sizes, filling but not too filling. The server we had was awesome!!! Very informative, pleasant and professional. He was very charismatic, and had a great attitude.
