This small restaurant serves up some great food. I have only been disappointed once when I asked to add some spice to my fish. I was given a peppery paste (i figured it would be really hot) that I stuck my fork in and lightly rubbed over my fish. Can u say 4 alarm blaze???!!! I'm not sure what kind of peppers they were ..maybe scotch bonnets (definitely hotter than jalepenos). It was so bad I couldn't eat the rest of my food. But that was my fault for asking for some spice. Other than that ..the food was great. They have a good day variety on the buffet with vegetables, curry/jerk chicken, plaintains, corn bread, ox tails....all yummy. I don't like the fact that you pay by weight of the food...but that does help your eyes from getting bigger than your stomach and your pocket.

My family and I really enjoy this eatery. There are usually different offerings each day, but she does serve the staples such as rice, fried plantains, and cornbread. My favorite is the spinach and the hot ginger tea. My husband raves about her watermelon tea! Everything is good there basically. Her prices has increased several dollars per pound in the last couple of years though.
