The jerk chicken and the sauce was really good. The rice was subpar, I was disappointed. My Dad enjoyed the stewed chicken. The plantains were good. Not sure this is a place I'd eat inside but I will try take-out again. They were out of patties, I definitely want to try them!

Since my review got taken down an I’m still highly upset. I’m making another 1….So I decided to take a trip almost an hour away to come to this 4.7 star rated restaurant instead of others. We walk in with such high hopes for this place. Let’s start with the jerk tray TRADITIONAL jerk does NOT have yellow BBQ sauce on it. If I wanted BBQ I would’ve went to a bbq place. The rice an cabbage on the plate were gross my bf didn’t even eat the tray. Next the OX TAIL whoever said they give you nice servings ?? I got maybe 5 ox tails!!! Now the ox tail meat was decent I don’t have complaints on the meat. But them SIDESSSSS rice dry an cabbage nasty! I got Mac n cheese more like baby food it was so over cooked the girl in there that said it was so good should be ashamed. I got a pineapple upside down cake that was MINTY I’ve never had a pineapple upside down cake be minty! Y’all want some real traditional Jamaican food. Come to Spring Hill ! I really want a refund but it’s to late for that. Still highly upset about my $54 dollars being wasted.

I'm not sure why there are 4 stars. It was edible but not 4 star worthy! Disappointed with portions this oxtail meal was a rice n peas meal. Two bites of meat and vegetables and the rest was rice n peas as you can see in the photo. It was definitely not worth the $$ and I will not be eating here again.

Family owned, friendly, great food as always. My daughter insists on ox tails for her birthday dinner every year and this is her place of choice. Super yummy. The Curry goat was good as well! It was late, so we ordered as a pick up.

The food was fine but I think they need to step up there game with bigger oxtails there's a lot of companies offering bigger soft ball sized oxtails and not those little tiny ones. Times have changed and these companies need to change with it.
