I had the ox tails and they were amazing! The food is authentic and affordable with large portions. The food is fresh and flavorful. Definitely worth a visit.

I’ve bought food here over the years- even for Thanksgiving dinner. The chicken was sold out when I went to pick up for dinner today, CJ said I had to wait 30 minutes until it was ready, and boy am I glad I waited. The jerk chicken was juicy, delicious and seasoned to the bone. CJ’s jerk chicken is 10 times better than a few places I’ve been to in Jamaica WI, so that should tell you something.

His Jerk chicken, a jerk pork is some of the best you’ll ever eat anywhere hands-down!! With all that he puts into his cooking, the business side is kind of falling short. no complaints about the taste of his jerk foods, but the portion size, the prices, and the service are not up to par. He’s a really nice guy you could tell he just need some help on the business side

Great jerked pork, everything was great, next time I must ask for no fat though, about half of my meat was fatty and I don't eat any fat, but I know a lot of people do, so that was totally my fault... Great food, we'll definitely be back!!!

Seasoned nicely, the heat comes in just right, not over powering. The smoke flavor is on point well. The jerk chicken sells fast, you may want to call in a order.
