Food amazing! Best wings in Essex County hands down! Always a great value for your money and the taste is amazing. Wonderful mix of authentic Jamaican and American soul food dishes. Good service,...

The food was delicious. It was seasoned to perfection. The cashiers were nice. There is space to dine in and a little waiting area for food pick up.

I haven't eaten here in years and not much has changed. The chicken was very mediocre. I almost didn't finish but I was hungry. Then they gave me a Snapple that was expired and tasted horrible....
