Absolutely delicious! The Jerk chicken was phenomenal and so was the steamed cabbage with carrots, peas, and corn! Plantains were wonderful! So much food for the money!!! Looking forward to going back often!
The place is large and great for dining in. I like the "you see what you get format". All the food is out and waiting for you to choose. We were served by very pleasant people.
We played it safe by ordering a couple of patties and a large jerk chicken.
Food was fresh. Veggies were cooked so that they are slightly crisp. Rice and peas were cooked very traditionally. The patties were made in house (kind of rare from our experience).
As for the flavors. I would say good standard Caribbean food for beginners, well balanced and not too spicy. If you want to try island foods, this establishment is an excellent start. Based on our experience, if you don't like this food then you don't like Caribbean food.
In our experience Caribbean food tends to be significantly spicier and sometimes focuses on in your face flavors. That can be off putting for people who are not used to eating food that rely on complex marinating and spices.
We will definitely will be revisiting.
