Business Owner

Started the restaurant with a smoker pulled behind a pickup truck. Floor was so delicious that we were hired for many events. Weddings and functions throughout the county. I love to cook, and see people devour my dishes.

Tried the mild jerk pork lunch. I guess they forgot the jerk portion because all I received was flavoress shredded meat. The cabbage was bland as well. So very disappointed.

We had an overall good experience! The Curry goat was well seasoned and delicious, the rice and beens were good and the cabbage was delicious but a tad less salt would be perfect, but still very good. The Tilapia fried to perfection, and the wings nice and spicy. The beef patties were good as well, it would be nice if they had a slightly spicier version. Good atmosphere! I almost got smacked in the face by an enthusiastic crowd greeting the owners but other than that it was a lovely experience.

The food was very bad. I got the goat curry and jerk chicken. The chicken was literally burnt to the point where you couldn’t eat it, and extremely dry. The goat curry still had bones in it. I’m not sure if that’s the way Jamaicans like it but I’ve never had curry with bones in it. I had to pick through it to eat it. I almost choked on one of the bones. The cabbage had no taste at all. This was by far the worst experience I’ve had at any restaurant in this area, and that’s saying a lot.

The real deal. When I want jerk, I come here or go to Jamaica. The owners are friendly and the food is great and affordable. See the bartender Robin for a great Bloody Mary!

I’m very surprised by the other review, this place is amazing! The jerk chicken is delicious. If you like hot, get it spicy with the hellfire sauce the side. I also have had the curry chicken and brown stew chicken, both were very good. The fried plantains are always great. The owner Paula is so nice and personable. The bartender Robin is great also too, she makes the best Bloody Mary in St. Mary’s in my opinion. This is probably my favorite place to eat.

This was horrid. I feel bad for the pig that gave its life for the jerk pork I was served. I have a sneaking suspicion that I will spend many hours in my bathroom later. Jerk wings awful. Jerk pork awful. Red stripe skunky. My buddy had to drink a whole bucket of rum punch just to get 3 bites down. I don’t usual review places but I feel that it’s my civic duty to warn the masses. Authentic Jamaican… hardly. #jamaicanmesick #cantgivezerostars
