“I can tell you that the rice was cooked. The oxtail and goat meat were tender and delicious. The ripe plantains were like they’re supposed to be, a bit “greasy” because anyone who knows plantains know they absorb a lot of oil. And anyone who knows about ripe fried plantains know that when they’re out too long they droop or start looking and tasting dry. Not these.The price of the oxtail and rice and beans was decent. As a matter of FACT, it’s so decent that she could go up to $25 like in Atlanta. A pound of oxtail ranges between $16-$20. The goat was priced alright only because it sort of makes up for the oxtail.The woman who took my order was pleasant and the music gave the atmosphere a good vibe. The establishment could be a bit more visually inviting in terms of decor, but I took the “shack” in the name to mean just that, it’s a shack. I didn’t mind it because I ordered to go.I read some of the reviews and could help but laugh at the response. I don’t blame her. People are used to trashing establishments and the owner or staff politely apologize, and sometimes without a reason. So power to her for defending her establishment. I particularly liked the review of the video when a customer alleged no mask wearing. Two ?.“
“Me and my family dined here recently and it was fantastic! Authentic Jamaican cuisine in Chattanooga is hard to come by, but this place does the job! I highly recommend the oxtails with rice and beans, and cabbage. It was delicious! I will definitely be back!“
