The food is absolutely amazing and the owner is even better. Great guy to chat it out with who clearly enjoys feeding people. Plus it's the only place I know that sells Island Vibes brand drinks. They're amazing and I'm probably going to stock up

Please. Please go here and give this man your business. He has a heart of gold and the food is OUT of this world!! Customer service is unlike anything you’ll ever see. And the food is just absolutely amazing.

Their food is delicious!! Fresh juices and fresh Seamoss. Do not miss out on this hidden gem. You will definitely be sorry.

s/o to the owner!!! He was so nice and welcoming. We came in later in the night where he was winding down around 7pm. He knew we were first timers so he let us sample the chicken and beef. Let me tell you.. SO FLAVORFUL AND JUICY. He was generous to give us huge portions but probably due to closing for the night.

Oh my gosh! The food here is so good. I got the j*** chicken and curry. They have many options and reasonably priced. Definitely bang for buck????

The owner and staff are amazing! The food is to die for! Highly recommend the chicken with both sauces! The beef is to die for and the rice and beans are very delicious. I was not a curry fan but they do it right. I love the plantains and corn as well!

First time at this spot. Pulled up and locals were gathered around outside enjoying music while a gentleman was grilling/smoking chicken. The vibe all around was good. The gentleman packed my son and I, two nice plates of j*** chicken, sweet plantains, a corn and white rice. Whoa... the chicken ( which he said he marinated for 24 hours) was so moist and fall off the bone with j*** spices hanging on the crispy chicken skin and in all the nooks of the bones. The rice was fluffy and perfectly cooked. The plantains sweet and caramelized. The food brought me right back to sitting on a beach in Jamaica and only getting up from my spot for that J*** chicken the vendor would be selling just up the way!! We will be back to Preparations. The friendly service and various Caribbean drinks were a big plus!

This is totally a hidden gem! The owner has a passion for food and he cooks with love. Every dish has its own character and delicious. Guarentee you will walk out with a big smile face like me. Highly recommanded.

First time to Preparations. I arrived at the end of the day on Saturday. The owner was so nice - just a happy guy who loves life and serving his community. He piled my box so high with food it could barely close. The food is delicious. Thanks! Will be back. :)

Delicious, authentic Jamaican food. Come early if you want the j*** chicken as they sell out fast. Owner is funny, friendly, and cool. Great hot sauces. Highly recommend.

Fabulous place. Amazing food. The j*** chicken and the ribs are out of this world. They make their own sauce.
