Ordered from the Too Good To Go app. I ordered 3 and they were all the same. The amount of food was good for the amount I paid. - Steamed rice was cooked well. It was fluffy & good moisture. - Collard greens has a good balance of vinegar, salt & smokiness. It almost gave the meal a cleansing effect because of the richness of the meal. - Grilled beef (?), I'm not sure if it was supposed to be a bbq bec it didn't have any kind of rub nor bbq sauce. All I could discern on the flavor is salt and pepper. Maybe, very slight smokiness. Charred on the outside but not burned AND very moist - Mac & cheese is the crown glory. Slight kick and very flavorful. I can taste a good amount of golden browned & crunchy Parmesan cheese !!! The gentleman on the front and back are both polite & friendly. I'm inclined to go back & purchase a regular sized bbq entrees!

The food was good and the man up front was kind. Don't expect a Michelin star experience but if you're looking for some quick and tasty bbq it's a great option. Got my food through TooGoodToGo and it was fresh. I'd come back to pay full price

Don’t believe cap. I’ve only gone to this place for bbq since they opened. Love the links, and the fatty brisket, on my goodness. Portions are awesome, sides are good. The service is excellent, true gentlemen, and it makes you want to come back. Thank you for being of service and it’s a pleasure to support.

They have cancelled my order, at the last minute. TWICE. I ordered food hours in advance because I had guests who wanted Halal. The restaurant accepted the order hours ago, then cancelled it last minute when it was supposed to arrive. No warning, so we can’t get something from somewhere else. Their food might be great, but they can’t run a business, so after 2 chances I will never know. ?

Brisket tough, fried fish overly salty, ribs tough and no meat on it. All smothered is sauce you can barely taste the meat. Not worth the drive.

We ordered to go and got the brisket plate with Mac and cheese and garlic potato’s. The food was delicious the meat was definitely the star of the show. Next time I will ask for extra sauce because it was excellent. The sides complimented the meat very well but I probably wouldn’t have enjoyed them as much without the meat with the sauce. The service was prompt and friendly. 10/10 would recommend!

Hot West Indian style freshly barbequed chicken with Sweet sauce on top. Surprised by the quick service as it was a mobile food truck parked on the road. Hot and delicious with a top up of potato salad. Different barbeque options available with excellent friendly service.

The food was good , the ribs was dry but I'd recommend trying the brisket and links..

We had this establishment cater an event at my work, and the food was prepackaged- the meat was burnt black, the condiments were sitting out in the sun, and they ran out of fries. Not a good impression, especially when I am the one who pays for the food truck/ catering for the event.
