The Good Life Cafe did not disappoint. I was greeted by a friendly hostess and promptly seated. I used my QR Code reader to access the menu and decided to order the hamburger slider with french fries and a Sprite. My food arrived hot and freshly cooked. My order was quickly followed with a complimentary order of plantain chips and pineapple salsa. I ate and watched the shows that were displayed on large screen televisions. The ambiance was nice and the food delicious! I will definitely return to try other items on the menu.

I'm glad to have stumbled across this restaurant. My first time dining in and I must say the food was very delicious. Chef Benard and staff were very kind and attentive. There was even a live DJ! I will definitely return for some more Carribean cuisine.

DON’T MISS OUT!!!!! This place is a hidden gem!! I came here for the first time today with my Aunty who was new to Caribbean food. We had the Sweet Chili wings, Plantains and Salsa, Oxtails, and Pizookie!! Please come out and support your local businesses. The food, the atmosphere, and the service was worth so much more than 5 stars. Forget the reviews, come and try out this place for yourself! You will not be disappointed. Joel and Ron had such great service. I will definitely become a regular.

Walked by many times...finally went in...kicking myself for all the delicious meals I could have had. The flavors coming from the tacos lit up my senses. FYI...jerk shrimp and Guiness braised short ribs. I cannot wait to go back and try the other items.

Everything was delicious and the staff was great. We had the plantains, chicken wings, Jerk Chicken, Fish and Chips, and a pizookie. Atmosphere is really nice with a clean and open dining area and reggae playing from the speakers.

I was craving some Caribbean food and saw that this restaurant was nearby so I thought I’d give it a shot. I normally don’t go to restaurants I haven’t been to before or have heard personal testimony about but when I tell you that going to this restaurant was the best decision I’ve made, I mean it. The staff were really friendly and the food was DELICIOUS! I’d definitely recommend coming here and I’ll be back again this week!

Wasn’t all that to me. The rice and peas were dry and lacking flavor. The lobster Mac also no flavor I literally had to put the Mac back in a pot reconstitute it aka Dr it up and the same w/ the rice and peas. $16 for 8 wings??? 🤦🏽‍♀️ Which should have been cheaper cuz it was happy hour. When I first got there The manager said he would “hook me up” for $20 just so that when I had to pay he charged me $35 🤦🏽‍♀️ Which I’m not trippin but if that was the case He should have offered me the fish escovich I initially asked for 👀. He threw in a Jamaican patty which He should’ve asked what kind did I want because really I wanted spinach . The only things I can honestly say were good were the bar b w wings and the cabbage was good other than that so so.
