So sad to hear of the passing of the manager. This is the best place hands down for ox tail and rice...truly a 5 star place. I'm not sure if they're opening back up but sending love to the family ?❤️

Oxtails, rice and peas and cabbage was great! Beef patties and Mac and cheese as well. Great portions as well! Definitely coming back.

Purchased the large j*** chicken w/peas & rice and a large Ox tail w/peas & rice (both came with cabbage on the side). The large has enough food for two people no joke. Both dishes were very well made and delicious. Found a new go to ?? spot. Prices are fair especially for the amount of food given. Staff was pleasant and friendly...idk maybe it was because of the ?? accent ?. Will definitely be back..... A lot. ???

Conrad makes the best Caribbean good in town! My favorite is the oxtail and fried chicken but I haven't had a single meal that was disappointing.

Second time stopping by. The food is very flavourful. If you like Jamaican food this place is great. For example, chicken patties have nice texture and are seasoned just right. Oxtail is falling off the bone...yum!!!

Went to this location to order 2 large plates of oxtails and stew chicken. The lady not only had an attitude but started arguing with me because I asked for extra gravy sauce and I didn't know which one was what while she was putting it in the bag. I left. I didn't take the food. Regardless, I will not spend my money at any establishment when they have zero customer service and are rude and nasty for no reason. Trash establishment.

Been ordering here lately through Uber Eats. The food is always so good. I didn't think anything could be better than their the oxtail, and then I had the stewed chicken. huge portions and super tender meat. Highly recommended.

The food is great but please be prepared for the unprofessionalism, inaccuracy of your order and poor communication. I have gone multiple times and have either been ignored at the counter by the woman constantly with her airpods in or, given the wrong order and charged for additional items I did not receive! Godspeed!

This restaurant with some thing I saw it's a little hole in the wall. You can easily drive past it because it's in a small plaza but I'm glad that I ran into it because it is very tasty. It seemed like a family owned business friendly service, Great portion size. Comes with all the great sides that people enjoy with Jamaican food rice cabbage sweet plantains! Yum! I will definitely try this place again.
