This place has fallen off horribly in 2025. The Cashiers all have BAD ATTITUDES for no reason. The food is good, but their BAD ATTITUDES aren’t worth them getting your Money. Update…I just went there again, and nothing has changed. And the food is worse. And the worst male cashier with the rudest attitude. I’ve never seen a Lazier Jamaican, but he is the laziest Jamaican. There is another Jamaican restaurant close near the 6 train. Just go to the other restaurant near the 6 train. It’s called Gold…something. - Chris S
