Food cooked to order. Potato salad made fresh each day. The fish is not over battered. The chicken is fried perfectly.

Fried Whiting platter with French fries was simply fantastic! Piping hot I could tell the oil was fresh! Not too many bones in the fish which is what I prefer. Oxtails are a little small but still good. I caught them on a good day and Im definitely going back!

The jerk chicken was amazing good spice. The mac and cheese was super good it got better than the last time I had it. The yams were perfectly sweet and had good flavor. Recommend to anyone who likes good Jamaican food.
