The food is great! I've ordered the Turkey Wings twice, served with rice and beans, along with mac and cheese. The mac and cheese was just okay, but the turkey wings and rice were absolutely delicious! I would recommend opting for dishes that are already prepared rather than those that need to be fried, like the seafood. Overall, I would definitely come back here!

This restaurant has seriously gone downhill since it first opened. The food used to be excellent, but now it’s hit or miss. You pay your money, hoping for the best. The staff seems incompetent, and they charge different prices for the same dishes. Just today, I was told that the usual two-piece chicken meal now comes with only one and a half pieces. The menu clearly states that the medium size comes with one piece and the large with two pieces, yet it's now $1 more for less food. To make matters worse, they have the audacity to charge $2.50 for a single piece of fried fish, which feels like robbery. Just last week, I was charged $2 for each piece, and the woman who charged me was right there, acting as if she hadn’t done it, but I didn’t say anything because I didn’t want to cause trouble for her. It’s not worth it to go there anymore. They increase prices, reduce portion sizes, and act like you’re confused when you question the price changes. I’m done with them. There’s never a manager available to speak to, and what they’re doing feels downright illegal. They really need to be held accountable!

I was completely blown away by this hidden gem of a restaurant. The oxtail with rice and beans was incredible—packed with juicy flavor, served at the perfect temperature, and with just the right portion size. Food: 5/5, Service: 5/5, Atmosphere: 5/5.
