    It's a little tricky to find; it's on the north side of the strip mall at the southwest corner of Trinity Mills and Midway. If you're coming from DNT, go past Midway, and it will be on the left.

    I suggest the oxtails&the brown stew chicken w/ rice and peas and spinach. To drink:Guava juice or rum punch. They have awesome dinner and lunch specials. Live music on Friday's. Free dinner today :)

    Be prepared to wait 20 mins for the fried chicken because they cook it fresh. Well worth the wait. It came out piping hot! The jerk sauce was nice and spicy

    Jerk chicken nachos and the flaming lime hurricane! So good! The jerk chicken sandwich is just like a normal chicken sandwich/

    While true jerk chicken needs a kiss of flame and the tinge of smoke from pimento wood, you’d have to go all the way to Jamaica to get it. Read more

    I had the Curry Chicken, Rice, and Cabbage and my friend had the Fish and Ackee.The server was not friendly, at all! Was a server and gave her a Tip out of sympathy, otherwise she didn't deserve one.

    The food was just ok. Had the ox tails, there weren't very many with meat on it. Rice was a little hard. The spinach was awful. Tasted like canned spinach, was not fresh.Won't visit again.

    Came here late on a Saturday night, and they pretty much had run out of every thing, and we were told this after we had waited an hour.
