Authentic jerk! Spicy and so tasty. The hot sauce comes on the side and is HOT but so good. Wish they bottled the hot sauce to take home because there is nothing like it to be found.

Despite being at an all inclusive resort, our driver took us to a brilliant spot for lunch. The food is cooked over pimento wood to give a unique flavour, you then add as little or as much sauce to give the heat you desire....... we tried the fish, the sausage, Pork and the Chicken - it was all so fresh,...

Always a good choice on a Thursday Night. RIBS Night! Service is causal - you get your own food and drinks, unless you make a Waitress friend! Local fav!

One of, if not the very best places to get authentic Jerk cooking. What makes it authentic? Besides being in Jamaica, They cook over Pimento Wood - it's the wood from the Jamaican Allspice tree - that's what gives it that - "I can't stop eating it" unique taste

The best Jamaican food I've ever had. They slow cook the meat over a wood pit. My fiancé and I tried almost everything and it was all good! Our least favourite items were the yam and corn.

the best jerk in town and you can get a variety of side dishes like festival, rice and peas, roast yam with butter. staff is accommodating and will even serve after closing and goes beyond to satisfy you. inside there is also a bar and nice seating area with great atmosphere. here is worth the trip and will definately return.

Great food, wonderful atmosphere, even better price! We had a party of 9 and the bill was less than $70. Enough space to seat a large group. Fabulous food. Best Jerk ever.

- It is built in a rustic fashion which fits in with the tourist resort tropical nature you hope to find while on vacation. - It has a nice selection of drinks, all well priced - Portion sizes are good I am not a jerk expert having only tried it a few times; however, it is quite busy with both...

Simply the best jerk chicken I have ever had. The green hot sauce is unique and worth the numb tongue! The setting and atmosphere is so Jamaica, which might not suit everyone, but we love it. The bar girls are full of personality and always have a cold Rd Stripe ready.
