  Good food friendly staff, The owner came out to great me and remembered that I met him before so that was very nice. I came on game night and mingled with the people and promoters. Great interactive games reminded me of childhood so glad I came out on an average Friday night. Food was popp'in for real good plus they give you a lot of food too. You will get your money worth trust me. Drink prices unbelievable reasonable and Good. Lastly the Ambience very clean retro up to date decor YAAASSS I will come back. P.S music was live great mix of West Indies Afro beat hip hop blend.

  Very quick! Mainly to go orders during the day, more of a sit down setting at night. Food is excellent! This is one of my favorite Jamaican restaurants in Atlanta. I drive from Buckhead just for the authentic taste. Their bar is also loaded. I get good drinks everytime I come!

  Ok so my first visit was great.. the second visit was a nightmare and I should have listened to the negative reviews! For starters, the food was cold on arrival and we were told it was our issue because we choose to sit outside. My drink glass had someone else's lip print and I was accused of not wanting to pay for my drink. We only received half of the food we ordered but the owner refused to return my driver license if I didn't want to pay the entire bill. Now because the food was cold, we only received half of our order and the drink glass was nasty, I was not ok with paying for anything we didn't eat and didn't receive. As a result, the cops were called, statements were taken and my driver license was returned. Oh did I mention that my family I choose this Resturant to celebrate my mother's 60th Birthday! I will never patronize this establishment again and will listen when others say their experience was horrible! I like to gather my own impression and make my own opinion, however, so many negative comments deserves a red flag and a major detour!

  I've been here about 4 or 5 times but they'll never get another penny out of me after last night. Despite the name "Jerk Center" they've been out of jerk chicken every single time I've visited. I always call before I go because sometimes they will randomly be closed. BF wanted jerk chicken so I called and of course they were out so we both were gonna get oxtails which they said on the phone they did have. 5 minutes later I get there and order 2 oxtail plates for takeout. 15-20 minutes later the server brings me 2 plates - one curry chicken and one stew chicken???
  
  I said no I ordered 2 oxtail plates. Her response "this is what I rung you up for and you already paid. we're out of oxtails anyway." I say I called 5 minutes before I came in and was told you had oxtails. Then she replies "I mean we're not out, but they're not ready." I was so pissed off I just walked out with the wrong food. Never again
