So basically the restaurant is a reap off C&J. The only good thing about this place is their oxtail… the rest of their food sucks. Plus to many shady ppl be hanging out their. I don’t care how hungry I am… I refuse to go there.

Don’t be fooled by its cover, the sign says«buffet» but really, it’s NOT! It’s a buffet-style self-serve restaurant, BUT prices are set by WEIGHT! There’s no one price for all-you-can-eat. I wouldn’t say this place is cheap for a restaurant in this area. Inside, they would say that it’s $ 4.75/lb for food, but if you order too much meat, they’ll make it $ 5.50/lb(WHICH they told me AFTER I put in all my food. NOWHERE did they ever write that… hellaa shady!) Also it’s $ 6.50 if you add seafood to your tray, so again, make sure you read the signs before you start loading up your tray. Overall, I can eat up to 2 – 3 lbs of food for a buffet anyways, so in that sense, it’s still pretty reasonable pricing for a «buffet.» I think the quality was ok. I give them props for having an enormous variety of foods! I LOVED their fruits! Their mango was so delicious, I wished I had gotten more. I’m not quite sure if they add sugar to their fruits, but oh well, I’ll TAKEIT! I also highly recommend their cornbread and their yellow curry. I was hoping for some good jerk chicken, but it was more like BBQ chicken than the real authentic Jamaican jerk chicken. Unfortunately, they don’t have signs telling you what kind of foods they have, so most of the time I have NO idea what I’m eating, especially when they cover the meats with so much sauce. But looking at the overall cleanliness of the restaurant, I have faith that I won’t get poisoned. Haha. They have good salads, fried chicken, lots of different types of rice, and even oxtail meat. This place gets pretty popular among the locals around here, so I have no doubt that they have quite a few regulars. I admit that if I’m ever in the area, extremely hungry, and craving warm food, I’m definitely coming here. It’s quick and easy. I like being able to choose my own foods, and I like being able to try something new. I’m just really not happy with the overall quality of most of the food there.
