I love the outdoor atmosphere. You can watch the meat being grilled. Don't be surprised if you are asked for a tip just to take a photo. The chicken was very bland for me, wine at the bar seemed quite stale.

This was worth the 40 dollar cab fare. It's a not unlike an outdoor bbq pit except covered. The food was wonderful. I wasn't crazy about the jerk sausage but loved the jerk pork. It's a local hangout and everyone raves about it. Nothing fancy and only a few walls but great food. If you're near by stop in.

All I can say is that this place is the real deal. It might be a little out of the way but it is worth the few extra minutes drive. Once you savor this, you will keep going back.

Fun place to eat, open air but under roof. Jerk chicken, pork, sausage and a great fish dish. The prices are in Jamaican money so it looks really expensive but in US dollars it's a great value. They have Ting, my favorite tropical soda, and Red Stripe Beer plus lots of other drinks. Locals and tourists alike were in line.... More
