Awesome food. Delicious. Very nice serving sizes. I ordered the Jerk Wing dinner with macaroni and cheese, beans and rice, and candied yams. Better serving sizes than nearby S2 Express Grill. Order here. You will get your money's worth and you will be full. Kudos to the owner and staff. Great customer service. I ordered via Uber Eats and picked up in person
