Omg!! I've never had Jamaican jerk chicken, but this will not be my last! I got the jerk chicken & 2 sides; cabbage & red beans & rice... 💣!! So good, flavorful, & a little spicy for the tender tongues. I will definitely be back. My favorite meal I've had in this city since June. Thank you so much Rodney!
