“ Good was top tier but there was this 1 employee male...he seemed very aggressive because it was my first time going there I didn't see the rules as they were posted behind the food. Its not visible upon entry. Ontop of his voice shouted I needed to get off the phone & wear gloves. I mean I almost walked out but I was so hungry. So I quietly ended my business call then proceeded. Thank God the cashier was a sweetheart. I picked up a fresh loaf of bread. Idk if I wanna go back....we'll see ”
“ The food here is good and very affordable. One of the reasons why I come here. Also, it's self-service, so you can serve yourself. No attitude included. As far as the atmosphere, a lot of older people usually eat at this spot, and usually parking sucks. ”
“ It was good, they weigh your plate so you can get as much as you want basically making your own price. They have so many container options if you just want something small. Overall I had a good experience. ”

“ I found this place by accident, and I am so happy that I did. It is a little place on 232 Street and Merrick boulevard it is small does not have much seating but the food is amazing. I personally had the oxtails, and the jerk chicken along with their macaroni and cheese. It is a buffet style serve yourself and you pay by the pound. Very reasonably priced If you love Caribbean and soul food this is a Must try. I would give it more than five stars if I was able to. ”
