Never again will I come to this place. I ordered oxtail with sweet potatoes and got chicken with cabbage, and the chicken was dry with no flavor to it. How does that work. Such a disappointment.

$18 seems steep for 3 wings and sides. The Mac n cheese and wings were pretty good. Wasn’t a fan of the yams - had what tasted like an amaretto flavor. Overall I’d give it a 3.5 out 5 stars.

Best take out spot in Norristown, food is fresh and delicious. Service is top notch, even the way they bundle utensils is thoughtful. Always good food, and the fact it's affordable puts it over the top for me.Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs to enter premise.

I had hair in my food which made me very disappointed because I had to throw my food away that I just paid money for. I don't think I will be going back. The food has definitely gotten better. I rather make my own food at home.

Wow we just found our new favorite Jamaican spot!!!! The food was so flavorful and portions were great. The mac and cheese and oxtails were to die for. The curry goat and oxtail were so tender. You need to try this place.

Love the food. Great staff. Only issue I have is the food runs out early some times. Curry Chicken, Jerk Chicken, Oxtail and Goat Curry are my favorite.

The food was awesome, the three orders we bought were very delicious. Food sell out pretty early so need to go early, for example, we wanted to try jerk chicken and it was sold out, we were there at 6pm.

DoorDash doesn’t give option to modify order so I cannot order from here 90% of the time. I’ll call for an hr straight with no answer from the phone.

Across NYC, Philly, DC and Atlanta, this is my all time favorite style of Jerk Chicken.I rated service a 4 because sometimes it hard to call them if you need to... it'll just ring for ages. But in person they're fine.I rated atmosphere a 3 because it's just a place to pick up and the decor isn't anything special, but also that's totally fine for picking up food.
