Portions and Price

"You get what you pay for and they definitely give you your money's worth."
"Not only do you get your moneyβs worth, the portions are more then enough."
Cons:
"I was charged $40 for 1 combination platter of Jerk chicken and brown stew mix, with rice, mac and cheese, and cabbage."

"I never want another platter from here due to the way they pile your food altogether."
"It has however, gotten pretty expensive from the previous time I've gone. $20 for a chicken platter?"

"This place is extremely unsanitary no one wear glove, masks, hairnets, nothing makes no sense."
"The place isn't the cleanest, paint chipping from wood over the food."
"Employees were all handling money and food without washing their hands in between."
"The women serving the food don't wear gloves or hair nets, always seem to have an attitude."
"Apparently they have fail multiple health inspections for multiple reasons one of them being they cook the food in a dirty backyard."

"I always come here for the oxtails, stewed beef, fried fish or jerk chicken platter."
Cons:
"They use to have amazing service it was always a line but I never have 2 wait in line anymore food still great the raise the prices and made stuff that always had available to now only having once or twice a week."
"Wasn't impressed came there when they was about to close so they didn't really have much."
"The jerk wings had so many 'FEATHERS AND HAIR' on them that I threw them in the trash!!"
"Will never order from here again. Totally unprofessional and horrible business. Every time I call to order the line is busy, but when it's not, they won't even answer the phone ? How can you run a food joint if you won't even pick up the phone ?"
"They don't answer their phones so you can inquire about what is available before you waste your time to go there."
"I'll never understand a restaurant that stays open until 11 PM and runs out of the same item by 5 or 6 everyday!"
"Some dishes aren't prepared daily, like stew beef...yum, only prepared on certain days."
