This was my 1st time eating there food took it all the way back to Iowa, & enjoyed every bit of it had the 1/2 white meat dinner w/ 2 sides which was Mac & greens & I had salmon ???? Alfredo which was so good. The only issue I had was it was not enough jerk sauce given.
The absolute worst jerk Alfredo I have ever had. Not saucy at all and didn’t even include shrimp and chicken like I paid for and requested.
Do NOT order Alfredo from here. Called back twice and haven’t even gotten a response about this disgusting meal I ordered. No seasoning, barely any sauce, and all around gross.
????????????????
OH! What a treat! Authentic Jamaican homemade cooking at its finest! Made fresh and cooked daily, closed Tuesdays. I learned the hard way. Anyway the menu is extensive. The food is awesome!! They have luncheon specials under and up to $10.00. Chicken, goat, oxtails, tilapia, shrimp,catfish, red snapper, are offered in a variety of preparation. The side order menu is also extensive. They have tropical drinks well as others, desserts and provide catering service. There is an eat in section with restroom facilities. The eat in section and restrooms are not handicapped accessible however. There is an adjoining parking lot to the restaurant at the Chicago location. The second location is on Torrance Avenue in Calumet City. You can also order online!
The ox tails and jerk white meat was ????... Food is on point seasoned with perfection. Best in the city hands down... a must try. Order ahead of time no walk in orders. And not a long wait either..
This is the fourth order they have messed up. Only one staff member tried to be helpful now for the one order they can get right without him. The cleaning guy decided he wanted it for his self to take home.
Absolutely delicious!!!! Flavorful chicken, the cabbage was steamed to perfection and the jerks sauce is on point ????
Great Food!!! The Customer Service has changed tremendously!
The food is awesome and I always get service with a smile.
Can we say “Happy”
Definitely one of the top jerk on southside to me compared to flavor and consistency been there alot
