The best jerk chicken I've had in Montreal, I've tried a couple other places but it wasn't as good. & the picture of the speakers, nope, that's the bathroom😂 pretty cool. The portion of food you get for your money is worth it also.

Girl serving was nice to my friend but then unfriendly to my other friend which was a bit weird 🤷♀️ Chicken portions were uneven but still tasted pretty yummy! & the pattys are not bad either! Coleslaw is good! I really like the way the food is served, plates are really cute! & I like the decor of the place too!
Endroit sympa pour manger économiquement pour une famille & faire découvrir de nouveaux goûts aux enfants ! Tout les plats étaient un peu froid & les bananes plantains pourraient être coupées plus finement.
Jerk chicken & pork very good! Rice & beans could use more beans. Plantin needs to be sliced thinner. Can't wait to try fried chicken. Welcoming staff 😍
what fantastic food. great portions. big flavors. but homestyle at the same time. got the oxtail & jerk chicken to share-- both were satisfying. environment is very warm & cozy & easy to have a chat in even when its full. counter service but food is worth it.
As a Jamaican myself it's hard to find real authentic food that feels like home & especially when it comes to oxtail. I can confidently say the oxtail is 9.5/10 I would give it a 10 If there was a little more meat but honestly its not that deep but the food is 10/10 ,the vibe is 10/10 & service 10/10. The food a GWAN STILL !

Good portions, the coleslaw was very good & refreshing & the ox tail had the perfect fatty & meaty ratio. The rice & the sauce were good but i was waiting for a punch of flavours...there was a missing fragrance or herbs in the recipe.
Décevant ! La qualité des plats a bien baissé (pork jerk & poulet jerk). Beaucoup de gras dans les cubes de porc (la moitié de la quantité laissée de côté car trop grasse). & sauce devenue beaucoup trop piquante. Le riz n'est plus le même qu'avant il a beaucoup moins de saveur & on sent qu'il a moins été travaillé & assaisonné. Déçue de plus en plus de cet endroit !!

I got the oxtail plate, the oxtail was so tender & the sauce had so much flavour. I definitely will be back. The portions are big & I ordered extra plantains for $5 & it was a lot!
the jerk chicken is very good. ambience like been in the beach with Caribbean & rap music but a cold atmosphere, nice ladies for good service save the place.
Authentic restaurant with lots of different options for mains & sides. Cool, diner-style setup inside. Friendly staff, good music & awesome soul food. My favourite regular spot in St Henri.
