The food is so good, always served nice and hot and fresh makes you feel like you're sitting at a table in either kingston or montego bay
Man this new renovated restaurant is amazing ❗️I was there yesterday and it's absolutely beautifully decorated with a modern style. The food was FIRST CLASS; the best tasting Caribbean food the area for miles❗️Believe me, I have tried them all. I bought the pigtail and dumplings stew and cheese cake and was given a free cow foot soup and I have not tasted such GREAT FOOD in { 'donkey years' smile} not in an extremely long time❗️THE reception was amazing: the service astounding❗️The owner was friendly and helpful and the workers efficien. Just ate the last of the left overs and have {niggeritis 😂} sleepy and satisfied from the delicious food 😂 😋 I don't have to walk OR take transportation far to get food. Thank GOD. May GOD bless the workers; especially the cook❗️A special thank you to the handsome owner; I forgot his name; may GOD prosper you and grant you peace, happiness and great success in JESUS name ✝️✌️💖
Although the cashier was moving very slow taking orders the food presented looked very Clean & appetizing. I ordered a small portion of everything I wanted & it was delicious! The fried chicken 👍 this place is a 8/10 because it taste so Good & I wish I could’ve taken a picture but next I will
Soldiers has the best tasting Jamaican food options in the area. The food as fresh and absolutely delicious. I even forgot my phone on the counter and they found it! It is not easy to find a 5 star dining experience. I packed the biggest plate possible and all for 15 dollars. I can’t wait to return especially for their delicious salmon yum! I also got the sea moss which is $5. My experience was great and the cashier was lovely and kind.
I was in the area for a small event tonight, feeling a bit hungry. Saw this place was about to close and was lucky to be let in and ordered BBQ chicken, OX tail and zucchini rice. Everything was delicious. Staff so accommodating ESPECIALLY because they were literally cleaning up. I would love to come back again and try some more food. I wish I took a picture of the food but as soon as I got home we attacked. Lol Keep it up, especially during these crazy times!
I have eaten twice and am not mad at food. Always shocked I end paying more than expected but it is done by weight. Soup was good. Callaloo was great. My fish was a little left to be desired and my rice and peas was standard. Enjoyed my cabbage, what I tend to stick with here. Some of meat can be a little dry, especially in a steam pan situation but then again, we can add as much sauce as we want. No one is rude they just let you do your own thing. So no other the top service but they will answer questions. Ladies I meant seem nice enough. I will update my review with a few more tries here.
Pretty good selection, happy they had some vegetarian/vegan protein options like beans and lentils. Lentils were a bit flavorless but the rice and greens were great. Very expensive though, $7 a pound even without any meat or fish. Ended up paying a bit over $10 for a half container of rice, greens, lentils. Saw a roach crawling on the wall, pretty sure an employee saw also but didn't do anything about it. Kinda turned me off of the situation and I definitely won't be back even though I'm in the neighborhood every day.
Been here a few times and though it's Caribbean food, not exactly high quality. Good to remind me of what I am miss.
Long wait time and very rude staff. I was given false time estimates multiple times and the employees were unprofessional.
I grew up in the area and i was always privy to the stereo type of how the workers in Jamaican restaurants are rude . My goodness i did not expect it to happen in real life. The cashier and female manager on duty are bottom tier disrespectful. I’ve been supporting that business 8+ months consistently. I’m always respectful polite and out the way. i always ordered the same soup, same portion. Suddenly the portion became a problem to the cashier who started making rude side comments. I ignored it the first time . Then days later she doubled down and repeated the rudeness. I’m now baffled because I’m always positive with these people. If there’s a “policy change” or any new information it’s your duty as a business to communicate to the customer. Instead the cashier and her manager decided to be rude loud and disrespectful…unprovoked! I’ll take my money and business elsewhere, there’s many better options in the area.
First time trying food look fresh but super salty to the point you can’t even eat it
I really love Jamaican Food and want to try always! The girl who worked there was very nice, she explained everything. It’s just that the food is not fresh, family got diarrhea for days. We bought Okra as well and that was bad as soon as we got home so threw it away. The only thing good was the bread. They didn’t have jerk chicken which is my favorite. Please tell me where to eat good Jamaican food :) ( we got in pic, rice&peas, okra, Oxtail, chicken curry, fried sweet bread)
Ya’ll need to hire someone else to cook the vegan ital stew and lentils. I was excited that you guys have integrated vegan dishes, but yuck!!!! The beans tasted like straight oil. You couldn’t taste any seasonings, just oil flavored beans/lentils. I threw it out. Waste of money! Do better, really.
My Ghanaian friend introduce me to this restaurant last week and I have bought food there about 6 times. Yesterday for lunch I brought two people with me to support them because the food isn’t bad and being a born Jamaican I want to support a Jamaican business. Long story short, I got my food and the lady at the counter asked if I took ox tail, I told her just one piece. She said once I take ox tail it’s $9.99 per pound. I only took one piece.. look on the pic. I paid $20 for this food and a soda. So mi basically pay $17 for a plate of rice. She went on to say that she always tell people to take a full plate of ox tail only to get their moneys worth. So I told her that she didn’t tell me that so she sent me to look on the sign. That’s when I say their thing. I told her I did not know. And to top it off she was laughing! I won’t support this business again because they are unfair! This is why a lot of Jamaican businesses fail. Well they will be losing more customers. Because I will tell people about my experience. mi ago see if the $17 for rice and one piece a ox tail ago Mek unuh betta. Jamaican a di worsssst to each other.
