Let me start by saying I love goat. I have eaten a lot of goat before but never as delicious as this! In every way possible this goat was the best I had in my life. The portion size was huge, the meat tender, and minimal bones. The jerk wings were very good as well. They tasted like they were smoked for days. The jerk sauce on them was perfect amount of spice and heat. Cabbage and rice were very good. I would definitely be back. The staff was very friendly as well and always smiling.

Food is amazing. Their 3 meat combo has crazy portions. Sides such as the Mac and cheese and the beef patty are insanely good and well priced.

Absolutely delicious, hot, and fresh! The snapper was cooked to perfection, accompanied by rice and peas and cabbage. The curry sauce was incredibly flavorful. I've also tried the veggie plate and garlic shrimp, which were equally delicious and served hot and fresh!

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!

Absolutely wonderful! Food and service was great! If you haven't tried the Jerk chicken, you must. Tuesdays are 10 jerk chicken days! And the mango juice is to go out of your way for! Thanks Arlene

I've been to a lot of Caribbean island Jamaican style restaurants and this is one of the best has to be the best one in Nashville. The curry goat was perfect and I'm going back for some oxtails. The food is great and the service was great as well!

This place never fails to exceed my expectations when it comes to the oxtail plates. Food quality is always the same. The place itself could use a little upgrade for dining in but other than that the food is PHENOMENAL I usually get my food to go but had the chance to dine in a couple weeks ago for Valentine's with my honey The lady running the place was very polite and made sure we had everything we needed!

Posting for my Dad who lives in Kentucky and sent me this pic and the restaurant info. He said the Red Snapper was great and I believe him! So glad he finally found a taste of the islands near him!
