Don't let the outside scare you away. The food is great and I have been told by Jamaicans who work here seasonally, the food is authentic!

If you've never tried Jamaican Patty, this is the place to try them. My kids LOVED it for their first time trying them. Stopped here hoping for a burger actually but you won't find them here.

Wow. Heading south on Route 1 at 8 p.m. on a July Saturday with three hours left to drive and two tired six-year-olds, we were hoping to find a clam shack still open to keep us going without killing our vacation budget or delaying our progress. I'm glad no one was tailgating us because my eagle-eyed husband hit the brakes... More

Just like home... We have been to Negril 15 times and this is as authentic as it gets. The pork and ribs were fantastic, the wife had the chicken and loved it. Pull in and have a taste of the Islands you won't be sorry. Respect...

Having been to Jamaica 4 times I will say the food is wonderful just what I was missing since my last trip to Negril.

This road-side venue is ecclectic and true to Jamaica. I stop by at least a dozen times in the summer for (yes, I admit) the oxtails and the Jerk chicken. Spend the extra $2 for the plantain and sides; it's true Ja-style cooking in an area that has little authentic to other countrys' cuisine! (Oh, and the music's pretty good,... More

We passed this place many times on our way to our annual vacation in Ogunquit. We love Jamaican food. Last year, the housekeeper we had in Ogunquit was from Jamaica. We asked her about this place and she said it was "as close to home as you can get here". She wasn't wrong. If you like Jamaican food, you'll like... More

I have a love for Jamaica and it's not often I find Jamaican food spots in New England, so I had to give this place a try. It's in such an unexpected location along route 1, and it will absolutely catch your eye with the native colors. Watch for red, green, and yellow! I have to be honest with you... More

Once you get tired of the fried food and butter-laden breadcrumb stuffed seafood that most every other York eatery offers, try this place. It's a nice change and much different than you'll find anywhere else in Maine.

This place looks like a hole in the wall...well it kinda is a hole in the wall. But man do they serve good food! This place is no joke though..the jerk chicken is spicy!!! If you are used to the Americanized version of jerk chicken...you will be very surprised to taste the real thing! Bring your glass of milk!
