  First time in this locally run Caribbean themed restaurant. Our waiter, Glenn, was helpful while we're were deciding what to try and he readily answered our questions! Thank you for being awesome! We tried a Jamaican Patty to start. So good! Hubs had Rasta Pasta and I had the Brown Stew Fish (red snapper). Both dishes were plentiful, wonderfully seasoned and delicious. I'm not a big fan of whole fish, but this was really a great dish! You should know that all the dishes are whole and bone-in. I really like the sides of beans and rice and the steamed veggies. We felt like this was an authentic dining experience that we enjoyed very much.

  While being in Fort Worth for about a week. Had a craving for Jamaican food so look up this place. The service was a little slow, but we had a very pleasant waitress who smile often and made the wait worth it. The food is very flavorful and delicious. I tried the jerk chicken and my fiancé had the oxtail as shown in the picture below. We got some plantains, which I forgot to take a picture of but the were really hot and delicious, like fresh out the grease or grill, with a soft and sweet middle but a crunchy outside. The jerked chicken and oxtail was seasoned well. The jerked was not too spicy but just enough to satisfy a spicy need. Now if you like it really spicy then I recommend that you ask for hot sauce. He had sautéed veggies and I had cabbage (which had a bit of a crunch which was nice! I personally hate to soggy cabbage), we both had rice and peas. Looks like they have an area for live music, so probably would be a cool thing to check out! If you in the Jamaican food should check this place out! The reason for the 4 stars and not 5 is just due to the slow service.

  The food is good. I ordered oxtail plate and plantains. The cost was $30. I thinks that's pricey. I wouldn't have mined if the togo container was filled properly. The oxtail is the main course. It SHOULD fill the largest section and my 2 sides should go in smaller section. But that's not what happened. I felt cheated. The cabbage was also raw. It needed to cook a little more

  I haven't been here in probably a decade and I had no idea they ran it as a restaurant during the day! Food & service were both amazing!!! We loved our server!! I didn't catch his name, but he was a nice guy! 🇯🇲

  My husband and I stopped by here since we saw them on TikTok. He had oxtails and I had jerk chicken. The jerk kitchen was SO favorable and just the right amount of spicy. There was even enough to eat on the next day. My husband didn’t care for the oxtails and stated that it was more bone than meat. Love the music! I was dancing the entire time that I ate and the “lemonade” was clearly homemade and delicious as well! The service was okay but I understand them being more comfortable with people they already knew. (They we’re more talkative to these two ladies they knew) I will be back for sure!
