First off, Ms. Veronica and her staff are incredibly welcoming. On top of that, she makes the best oxtail with rice and peas. I’m of Caribbean descent (Antigua & Jamaica), and I’ve never had Caribbean food this good until today. I’ll definitely be coming back—10/10!

I've been going to this restaurant for more than two years now. I am a critic and observer when it comes to customer service. It is definitely my go to spot for any Jamaican food. I have watched customer service improve,. I like the serious attitude the boss takes towards customer service. And the speed. They try very hard to get their customers in and out. I orderered nox tail with rice and a few beef patties. I was pleased with the portion and the taste. Keep up the good work.
