Fantastic food that is cooked with heart and soul. My wife had the Jerk Chicken medium sized meal. The saffron mixed rice and green beans were excellent. I had the stewed beef which had so many thick spices, it was heavenly. We got mediums and our photos are what's left After we ate! We will need to come and shoot photos before and after. The portions were huge and plentiful. Their wings kept selling out over and over while we ate. People came back the required time just to have more. The cow foot soup was creamy and so rich and thick! Their Home made sodas and beverages were exceptional. My wife Soursop drink and my pineapple ginger soda were so refreshing!! We will be back next time we want that authentic Jamaican food! The gentleman with the Good Vibes hat was thorough in explaining all of the food they had out. Each time a customer came and cashed out, he always said 'Respect'. He was a great role model of just that! #RockFromRI

The moment I walked in, I knew I wanted to get something. It smelled so good. The display was just as good. I would have loved to order a sampler plate if they had one. The people who served me were great and friendly. I ordered 2 plates. I ordered a plate with Oxtails, rice and peas and cabbage and then a plate of bbq chicken and white rice for my gf. The bbq chicken was my favorite, id definitely order it again. The oxtails were ok, they were soft but the only thing i wasnt a fan of was the sauce. I like my sauce thicker... it was better cold, im assuming bc the sauce thickened a little at that point. The rice was ok, i really liked the cabbage though. I would definitely go back. My gf brought me here bc she had tried some oxtails that her mom had ordered and she told me about it, but i didnt take into consideration that it was literally her second time having oxtails, so she doesnt really have much to judge off of. Next time ima get some bbq chicken and some jerk chicken.

Pretty damn good and flavorful. Nice clean bright inviting establishment. Lots of choices that were fresh and looked amazing. The only thing that might have used improvement was the veggies were more crisp than my liking but that's probably just my preference. Also I don't understand why I got charged more than I thought I should for my meal but I didn't bother asking. 25 for a large and a water. Though I did ask for half chicken and half goat and some green beans. Maybe they counted the green beans as an extra side? Though prices are probably on par with other places of similar quality.

1. The restaurant is clean and it looks nice inside. *parking is a little tricky so be mindful* 2. The staff was courteous and pleasant to speak to 3. The portions and price are very good. 4. The food tastes amazing. It definitely hit the spot for me and reminded me of back home. 5. This place has a laid back vibe with many options to choose from. My new home away from home Jamaican restaurant.

Came here for their famous wings but they have a good selection of Jamaican food. Even though the sauce is so good and tempting to dive in, be careful because it does not wash off easy!! Lol Staff is nice, music is good, vibe is just right. I recommend. They have their own free small parking outside.

Great! We ordered a medium Ox Tail with rice and Chicken Patties. Loved it all. The staff was nice, I over heard them helping a few guys who didn’t know what they wanted. Casual seating for dine-in. Mostly take-away. Everyone who came in ordered to-go. I loved the juices here. The strawberry ginger juice was fantastic. The cabbage was nice; mild but it went well with the flavors of everything else. I’ve been recommended this place by a lot of people and finally decided to come try it :) Now I’ll be recommending it too!

I got the stew chicken with rice and peas and two mild patties. It was really good and I’m sure it would have been better with the plantains but they didn’t have any at the moment. Either way this has been one of my go to spots locally for years and the taste has been consistent through out the years. I know some people feel like they fell off but they haven’t let me down and I’m happy to be loyal to them. The service is good some days and some days it’s not. This recent stop the service was good so no complaints from me. I look forward to stopping by again. My usual go to is oxtails but wanted to try something different.

Great place although you do have to pass a vibe check. Great selection of food and huuuuge portions. Curried chicken? Great. Chicken wings? Great. Yellow rice? Great. Ox tail?? Wow. If you’re in the area definitely stop here for lunch. Parking lot is tough with maybe 5 spots total.
