“ The lady at the register was really nice. I ordered jerk chicken and asked for a sample of oxtail since I'd never had it before, and she kindly gave me one. The food was of very high quality—it felt like my grandma made it. I highly recommend this restaurant; the amount of food you get for the price is incredible. It fed me for both dinner and lunch. Both meats were cooked so well they were literally falling off the bone ”
