I had a taste for some oxtails so I stopped by today after work. The salad wasn’t fresh at least a day old, and they charged me $25 for the food. I will never come back. The oxtails were nice but I have never paid that much for oxtails. The lot was empty so I should have known better. BTW I asked for a small order but he may have given me a large.

Just find somewhere else to eat and I will tell you why. Keep in mind I visited about 1pm on a Sunday. Some things are just too good to be true. I pulled up, there was no line no waiting, I read a sign that said extra gravy is free (nice gesture but you know most Jamaican restaurants want their $.50 for the extra gravy), and lastly the gentleman taking the order was too nice. LOL. I ordered a veggie plate, just peas and rice with oxtail gravy, plantain and cabbage. I figured lets start out simple. When I received the plate, it was piping hot. I mean it was so not that I couldn’t even reinforce the plate underneath because it was piping hot. Then I started thinking, there is only one reason it would be that hot. SIMPLY BECAUSE IT WAS MICROWAVED. The cabbage was not fresh, tasted very reheated, and quite unseasoned. The peas and rice was OKAY. But nothing was FRESH! I KNOW FRESH FOOD, Save your time and money, burn a lil more gas and go somewhere else. Maybe another location? Good luck.

So I needed an oxtail fix. I was reluctant about this place and always wondered why I never stopped. I called ahead to order..no rice and peas so just white rice (found out when my daughter got there)cabbage barely cooked. Paying $49 for bad customer service and ok food. This did not fix my fix. All sales final Stanley was proud to say that. Just not worth your money time or patience.

Hit or miss. Friday the jerk chicken was great, Monday it was terrible. The mac n cheese was basic, to say the least. I’m not impressed, rather more disappointed.

this used to be my best and favorite spot to go to for quick Jamaican food but the quality of service and the food has declined dramatically. I had ordered the mac & cheese with cabbage the other day and it tasted like plastic.

I ordered oxtails w/ cabbage and rice & peas with a side of plantains tonight. FOOD WAS HOT, MOIST & DELICIOUS. I drove all the way from Clearwater for this & it was 1000% worth it. The DOWNTOWN location is great too

Finally decided to give this spot a try and was disappointed. Curry chicken had no flavor at all and low grade chicken. Girl behind the window was at best “not entirely unpleasant”. Vibe is prison-food-line. SH deserves better, and lots of competitors prove that. Love me some Jamaican food so wish this place would step up.

Cabbage very salty, rice was dry it’s just not like how it use to be. I wouldn’t eat here again. I ask for jerk chicken and didn’t have any sauce on my chicken ♀️. 1 out of 10 do not recommend.

Saw these guys on facebook and decided to check them out… and oh my, the food is killer! Their Mac and cheese is amazing along with their plantains. Very generous size portions too. But I’m telling you, you have to get a ginger beer with your meal. It will take your food to the next level!
