    Christopher Roberts and Joan Lewis opened this Caribbean restaurant in Queens in 2000. The specials are often the best option; some nights include stew peas with pig feet and goat stew. Read more

    They do not take dinner reservations on weekends but the food is always well worth the wait. It has been one of my favorite neighborhood restaurants for years. Try the snapper run down-delicious.

    Full bar up front, sit and chill before you eat. Parking next door via the church lot (except Sundays). Corn bread was awesome, but more dessert like.

    Sunday brunch is the jam. Try and get there before 1:30pm if possible to avoid the crowd. The food is fantastic!

    The oxtails are good but more oxtails and less rice would be greatly appreciated. Also we've got to speed up the takeout service

    The oxtail is delicious with a glass of the lemon ginger. Also, the staff is very friendly. Best way to get here is by car.

    The Achee & Saltfishis juicy, buttery, and exploding the flavor. The lemonaid has this revelatory sweet funk to it. Get them both.

    The take out side is a hot mess! The staff is rude and disrespectful and there is no kind of system in place. You want great Jamaican food and service? Go to Genesis on Hillside Ave.
