I absolutely love this place and I've only gone once. I ordered ten wings, and not only was it extremely filling, but it was packed with flavor that melted my tongue in a positive way. The atmosphere was amazing. As someone who loves music, I was enjoying the beats and tones in the back as I waited for my food to finish. On that note, the wait for the food, despite the quality being amazing, was almost just as fast as it was great. The service is extremely friendly and welcoming, so even with my social anxiety, it was easy for me to order. Over all, this place was absolutely a great choice.

Honestly the only word that should be used for this wonderful place is "Authentic!", Although it's right up there with Amazing, Awesome & Very Tasty! We heard this food had settled and made a home in the once deserted Eagle Ridge Mall so we had to go give it a try. While I myself am a small business owner, I try to support fellow small businesses as well. Upon being greeted by the owner, my first question was, "Is your food Authentic". I have tried multiple restaurants and carry outs that make that claim. He quickly responded by handing me a sample. For the first time since we moved here from an area that serves Real, Authentic Jamaican food have I tasted it! I was in love! We ordered a variety for the entire family and just as he said, everyone was quite pleased with their meal. So pleased that we returned the next night! We have now tried everything from the Oxtails to the jerk chicken, curry etc. The natural plantains and bread pudding along with Jamaican soft drinks were a wonderful additive. The portion sizes are wonderful and all food was very filling. Every bite allows you to taste the seasonings you expect to get in Authentic Jamaican Cuisine! We will definitely frequent this place and honestly it's a shame I can only give 5 stars. Thank you for bringing your wonderful food to a quick and convenient place for all to try it.

Um WOW! Food was very delicious and you truly get what you pay for. Oxtails, Jerk chicken, Curry Goat, Rice and Peas, Cabbage everything was cooked to perfection. I tried the sof drinks, and they were so yummy! Not only was the food off the chain but the customer service was excellent. Definitely come here if you’re looking for flavorful food.

I am very impressed with the quality of food. I ordered the medium jerk chicken plate with rice and peas, plantain, a side of Mac and cheese, and a slice of sweet potato cake. What I enjoyed about the food the most was the subtle flavors and how the food wasn't oversalted or overbearing. The chicken was so moist, full of herbs and spices and had a nice char to it. Personally, this is the best Mac and cheese I've ever had from a (Jamaican) spot and the plantain was soft, sweet, perfectly done. The cake was not the texture I expected - it was more like a hard bread pudding. Not bad, but just not for me. The portions were fine for me for a medium plate. I spent $20 in total, including tip. The customer service is noteworthy as well. There was only one person working when I went but he was so jovial and inviting. Yes I will be coming back to try their other items and can see myself becoming a regular

Absolutely loved their goat curry plate it was delicious. My husband had the jerk chicken sandwich and was over the moon on flavor and portions were a good size too. The young lady at the counter was very informative and friendly! We will definitely be back again! This is a hidden jem.

Great first experience eating oxtails, they were amazing! I ordered oxtails with extra gravy and rice/peas, cabbage, fried plantains, mac&cheese & a rum cake. The customer service, the food and desserts are amazing. Definitely a good addition to Eagle Ridge.

Great place. Family owned and operated. Very friendly. They let us try samples first so we could decide what we wanted to order. Everything has a good flavor. The Mac n Cheese is delicious and even the Fruit Punch is delightful!
