“ Finally someone north of Toronto that can actually cook! The oxtail hit the spot! Thank you for a great meal, I will absolutely be back! ”
“ great food, great owner all great vibes inside. All around amazing place ”
“ Jerk chicken here is amazing! It’s spicy and fresh! I’m personally not a coleslaw person and I asked for only a little bit. If I knew it would taste so much good, I should’ve asked for more. Was also able to try their spicy beef patty and it was heaven!!! Overall, food here is certified masarap (Delicious)! It’s a 15-min drive from Tanger Outlet. I personally recommend this restaurant. Plus the owner was really nice and friendly. They only accept cash but there’s an ATM inside so still a winwin! ”
“ Best Jamaican food I've had, the flavours are nothing like I've ever had before. Hot sauce is actually spicy (when he says "pepper" it actually means hot sauce not black pepper!). Love the decor inside and super friendly people. Very happy we stumbled upon this place. Would order again. ”
“ It has been a couple years since I've been here . But I was a regular customer for over 10 years before I moved away. I remember 2 Tuesdays. That's how long I've been going . ( aged my self). The food is proper and the staff and owners treat you life fam. ”
