I recently tried the chicken with rice and was satisfied. The chicken was nicely seasoned and tender. The rice was also well seasoned and not too fluffy or undercooked. The vegetables in the dish complimented the rest of the meal. Portion size was also fairly big. Overall I would recommend this place for a quick cheap home style meal.

This hit the spot! Everything was Super well seasoned!! (I don’t like bland food). Ordered via phone when I was down the street cause I wanted to make sure they had snapper still available and my order was ready in just a few mins after I walked in the door! It smelled so good and was nice & hot so I had to break it open in the car & taste it! Delish! I will definitely be back & Looking forward to the pineapple ginger juice too next time I come in.

Service is friendly. Atmosphere is comfortable and casual. The food is definitely tasty and fresh. However, I enjoyed my daughters Curry Chicken Bowl more than my Pineapple Jerk Chicken. My sides included Black Beans and Rice, savory Butternut Squash, and well-seasoned Vegetables Medley. The other 2 dishes were a Curry Chicken and Lamb Meatball Bowl with Yellow Rice and Sautéed Vegetables and a side of Mac and Cheese & Jerk Chicken Wings and Fries. Mac and Cheese was FYE!!! Also sampled Butternut Squash Pie (not shown.) It was delicious! Certainly an alternative to Sweet Potato Pie!
