My dish was so watered down. I wish I could show you a better picture but the location of this place was rough and terrible parking so I opened my food for a quick bite and saw ALL THAT WATER then took a picture. The oxtail was floating in unseasoned water. The oxtail was BLAND too and the girl refused to give me the medium size that was listed. She said they’d only do it in a large.

2 stars for customer service the guy offered to give me fresh chicken the very next day I then chose curry it was a 7 out 10 as you can see here the stew chicken was very old and stiff also chewy it was almost like eating beef jerky I pulled it apart so they can see the Mac was so soupy and tasteless yams were a 9 out of 10 rice and beans were a 5 out 10 I couldn’t believe a 4 star restaurant would serve a customer this will only be returning for yams

So I’ve been coming here for a few years now & the food is usually really good. BUT I’m noticing with the jerk chicken they will mix in day old chicken & if I’m spending money on multiple platters or money period I don’t want old chicken. Smells old and hard as a rock yuck.

One of the best Caribbean Food Spots in the city, this place is humble but clean. The food is always delicious and the portions are more than generous. I can typically get to meals out of a small platter of Jerk with two sides.

I’m sad to say but this place isn’t good anymore. The jerk chicken has no flavor! There is no seasoning in anything! I kept giving them a try but I can’t anymore. They mix new and old chicken and it’s just a waste of money at this point! It taste like they just throw the meat on the grill and serve it. No seasoning, nothing. I am

First time ordering from this place and it was not bad at all!! Especially because they are actually opened on Sundays. Everything was very tasteful, I’m big on flavors. The only reason why im giving this business a 4 Star rating is, because the chicken tasted like it was made the day before & the mac & cheese could be a little cheesier. Besides that, it was great. Probably would go back again due to the GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE! Great job K&J.

The first picture was the first time I went there the next picture was the second time I went there the first time the food was seasoned very well the young lady was very nice and pleasant at the window I really enjoyed that experience the second time I went the food wasn’t really seasoned that much I didn’t get as many oxtails as I would have liked and the lady behind the counter was a little short abrasive maybe she had a bad day I may go back and a couple weeks or so. All in all I did enjoy the food I seasoned my food a little more the second time.
