Clean place, staff is great & friendly, been here a handful of times and they NEVER disappoint! I always get the Jerk Chicken Plate every chance I come visit the area.

I arrived at the establishment after work. One of my coworkers thought it would be fun. I walked in and there were no customers. A lady was sitting behind the counter and never greeted me. I looked at the menu in great detail hoping to taste the kingfish. The lady behind the counter was looking at a video and never looked up. I said, “hello.” No response. I said “excuse me” three times. Finally she raised her head and looked at me. I asked her if she heard me. She responded, “I’m listening” in a rude manner as if me coming in to buy food was rude. They must be making too much money. I typically spend over $100 anytime I go out so they lost that and any future money they could have made off of me.

Let me start by saying….THE FOOD WAS AMAZING!!!! Everyone at our get together was raving about it.Now to make a long story short; my father was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer. He and my mother had a 40 year anniversary trip planned to Jamaica. Obviously they were unable. My family and I booked two houseboats on the lake and decorated them with a Jamaican feel. The next step was to find authentic Jamaican food. That’s where these guys came in. I have them only a two days notice and they made it happen. They delivered the food two hours away to a marina boat dock. They were courteous, on time, and priced very well! Again the food was amazing. Ate some of it for dinner this evening actually :)I want to thank these guys again for their punctuality, culinary skills, and for making my parents anniversary party special!If you didn’t get it yet; I would highly recommend this business!

I enjoyed the food here. The plantain is life. But it's not set up on the inside for a large group to come and eat, but we made the best of it and the employees/owners, I guess helped us. This is a very slow paced restaurant, so never come here in a rush to eat....

The food is really freakin good. Very flavorful. True authentic Jamaica food! You have to try the jersey chicken, brown stew chicken and curry chicken. It's awesome!

I have been in Nashville since 2018 struggling to find good Caribbean food! My daughter found this restaurant. FINALLY GOOD CARIBBEAN FOOD! I drive 30 minutes for a plate! It’s well worth the drive!

PRO: Food tastes good,very traditional, nothing special. Prices reasonable for the portion. Options for fresh fruit smoothies and other island drinks.CON: The first 2 things I asked for were sold out. Meat pies are VERY popular, the cashier said, "you have to come early for those".The environment is NOT setup for comfortable dine-in, so best to pick up and go. Can't understand why they only put 3 slices of plantain only, plantains are pretty cheap.

So glad I found out about this place!! I hate driving from east Nashville to get here, but when the craving calls… it is what it is. Authentic! You can even taste the coconut milk in their rice and peas . Everything is flavorful!!! Customer service was very friendly!!No more Jamaica Way for me!!!

I liked their food but, Customer service was terrible. It took me over an hour to get through. Every call kept going to Verizon wireless voicemail. No website. Very frustrating to order. So I stopped going. I hate it because it is hard to find good Caribbean food
