The food is amazing, and the venue behind it is just as good. The complete island experience. Food, music, and great people. Recently found out that there is a reggae reggae club, with an excellent DJ, located right behind the restaurant. What a beautiful sample of a great culture. Great food, good people, and fun fun fun

Food so delicious! I'm there 3 times a week. Although I only eat fish and vegetables. The rice and beans with ox gravy is wonderful. Best food next to being cooked at home.

I tore my food up before I could take a pic but y’all.....the food is sooooo good! I had curry goat, cabbage, rice & peas, and baked Mac n cheese (she gave me the corner piece ) and I got myself a chicken patty. I literally liked everything I had. I definitely recommend this spot! ...

OHHHHH EMMMMM GEEEEE!!! THEIR FOOD IS SO GOOD. I feel like this while eating it. I wanted to go hug the cook along with giving her compliments. I can eat Hot Pot's food every day but funds won't allow me. You won't be disappointed. I know everyone's taste buds are different but I think the taste would over ride that

Y'all talking bout food that will have you fallen asleep this is the only spot I go to for that outstanding Caribbean taste, it's a dish called callaloo, I may have gotten the spelling incorrect but its some type of green leave veggie with salt fish, mouth watering is a understatement, this place pop yes honey! The staff in there are so polite always laughing and smiling, customer service on point.

Stopped by here after working a long day. Ordered the Oxtail platter. Food was really tasty, but as per usual, a little lacking in actual oxtails (they are very expensive). Overall the beans and rice were tasty and the cabbage was good!! The cabbage had an added component of succotash, which made it really nice. They will definitely see me back!!

I love their curry goat, been eating here for awhile now. Always sending a family to get me something. Never disappointed with the flavors and variety of dish to choose from. Very generous with proportions. Lots of drinks and delicious dessert to choose from.
