  Jerk chicken was a little over-salted and dry, but for the price you get a lot of portions out of the platter option (1 entree, 2 sides + some plantains). I tried this place on a whim, because I was coming out of Queen Village and starting to get hungry, and the interior and line of regulars caught my eye.
  
  My favorite part was probably the yams, which had a wonderful hint of cinnamon. The plantains and mac & cheese were pretty good as well.
  
  Again I think it comes down to the value and convenience of getting your food immediately. There was one guy working at maximum efficiency, ladling food into the takeout containers - also liked that they shrink wrap your container if you're taking it to-go. It's definitely a mess waiting to happen if you're commuting.

  I have been rewatching all of Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares and a few episodes of Carribean Restaurants popped up. I remember the authentic Jamaican foods I used to eat over ten years ago made by my friend's Jamaican mother in law and drooled thinking of it (Universe bless her soul). I couldn't take it any longer and began searching for some good Carribean restaurants other than the Jerk Hut and this place popped up. When I walked in I knew it had to be good with the place more than 50% filled (tho it's small) on a rainy night. I was greeted by a kind gentleman who I think is the chef.
  
  I am so happy they offer a mini size (although it isn't so mini! Very filling portion) as my sister had already gotten tamales ready for us at home. I got the jerk chicken with mac and cheese and collard greens.
  
  My sister and I were so excited to try this because the last good azz Carribean food we had was at my favorite Carribean (actual) Hut was in Canada. We both took a step back and fell in love with the food that our eyes popped out of our heads as in a Disney film. MAN!
  
  Food : the chicken was well seasoned and not super dry like most jerk chicken I have come across, and with all of the juices and flavors of the chicken just laying right on top of the delicious Mac and collards made it impossible to stop eating and I had wished to have ordered the biggest platter! Jerk spice wasn't overly spicy, just the perfect touch and the sides were so good my sister said she could have even done without the chicken. I would probably stick to the mini size because as you eat jerk spice over and over it does tend to be on the saltier side, but if I had to get HBP, I wouldn't mind getting it off of THIS place's food.
  
  I cannot wait to try other items in the menu. Here! Just take all of my money!!!

  I was on the fence at first when I decided to try out this little slice of heaven on south street. I'm glad I did because the food was delicious. This spot is a little divey with in and outdoor seating. I ordered the stewed chicken because the owner was honest and stated his jerk chicken is spicy spicy which was too much for me. My sides were rice and beans, collard greens and plantains. He ran out of cabbage which ruined the whole experience until I tasted those collards. Yessss! I was in jamaican bliss lol go check it out, he even has a mini platter just in case your not too big on alot of food at one time.

  Came here two hours after they opened on a Sunday and was told they don't have anymore jerk chicken "for now". What kind of Jamaican restaurant doesn't have jerk chicken at 2pm on a Sunday ?! Irie in Brewerytown is a much better caribbean option

  From the weight of the plate to snack of the Ox tail, on point this is just tender and juicy. Mac and cheese just solid flavor goes super well with the rail, rice and peas to perfection! I will be eating here again soon... just wow
