You're paying for mostly rice with large oxtail which comes with 5 oxtails! ?Update: I've been vomiting for a few days now. It was the oxtails at first but now it's all bile. This restaurant gave me food poisoning!

I wanted fried chicken with jerk sauce. It was as if the chicken was already cooked and they fried it again. It was so dried out I couldn't chew it. I tossed it out. Beef patty was ok but not at all spicy.Guy inside was friendly.

Large oxtails come with 5 oxtails! ?Update: I had to call out of work and cancel plans because this food gave me a virus! Don't eat here their food quality has declined through the years! Projectile vomiting!

I ordered the large oxtail meal for $30 and received 5 oxtails!! I ordered with cabbage and rice/peas.Rice and Peas is $5. The cabbage is $5. So I just paid $20 for 5 pieces of meat which is mostly bone. The disrespect!Lastly, the portions 80% rice/peas.5% cabbage, didn't even hit the bottom of the container.10% sauce because they drowned the food making it seem heavier and fuller.5% meat because I only got 5 pieces.Don't waste your time with this restaurant! I gave them too many chances. Also their waiting time is ridiculous. If it's going to take an hr, say that, not 20 mins.If the resturant goes under, no one will miss them.

They take way toooo long to prepare your food. It feels like they only have one cook working. Since I am a grub hub driver, I have to pick up food from here whenever I get order from here but I recommend for anyone else NOT TO come here unless to have 2-3 hours to eat.

I just got my oxtail meals, and the oxtails are stiff, salty, and tough to chew. The rice is too mushy??‍♀️ money down the drain today. Now I had it before and it was way better, but not sure who cooked this today ? but it also taste like it’s cooked with salt and pepper?and no oxtail seasoning what so ever ??‍♀️ anyway happy new year ?oh and the planters was cold.

The place is old , the young lady who took our order was very nice however she deceived us none of the food was spicy and the pasta was overcooked. Also the bathrooms had overflowing garbage cans and only the men’s restroom worked. If you do choose to order from her pay in cash order in person and check food before leaving
