Clean, easy and nice servers, the jerk chicken, plaintains and meat pies were incredibly tasty. Sweet tea is best in the lowcountry

Stopped in for a snack! Didn’t want to get a whole meal, so I shared a wings basket, cabbage, rice and beans, and beef pâté. All of it fresh and hot. The wings had that perfect crispy outside with the moist and flavorful inside. Beef pâté was good and spicy as any as I’ve ever had. Cabbage was flavorful and moist. Server Vanique was very friendly and attentive. We were the only patrons when we walked but as it often happens, folks came in like a train. The music got turned on and I thought I was in Kingston. Let me tell you that this place is authentic as it gets down to the folks that own and run the place! You won’t go wrong stopping in here!

I was visiting Beaufort for my son’s graduation. We were looking for a place to celebrate and eat. Something different and we just stumble upon this restaurant everything was amazing. The service, the music, the food, and drinks were all just perfect. This is probably the one of the only restaurants I see with a clean atmosphere. I would most definitely come again. I really recommend this awesome place!!

New Spot in Downtown Beaufort and definitely worth it! Food was PERFECT and the plates are not stingy with food. Definitely left very full. The meat was super flavorful, tender and juicy and stayed hot during the whole meal! I highly recommend the Brown Stew chicken . Will definitely be visiting again. It's nice to see some more variety in the downtown area.

Food was excellent. Fresh food and fresh ingredients cooked in authentic Jamaican style. Also, their French fries are amazing. Don’t believe me? Just order a side of their fries. Few critiques: 1. their service was very slow, and they weren’t very busy; 2. they don’t carry any diet soda; 3. the waitress charged me for a dish I didn’t order that had to be corrected before I left. I am a big fan of great food though. I’ll put up with sub par service if the food is good. In this case, it is. If they fix their service issues, they’ll be par excellent.

Food, service, ambience was Amazing. Definitely a hidden gem of the low country. My husband and I traveled from GA on the last Friday night of the month, Reggae night! Music and DJ were explosive. We will be back.

Nice, quaint spot. Drinks were good, food was good. Hubby had curry goat (which we didn't realize was on the menu until we sat down to eat), and I had jerk chicken. Plenty of leftovers.
