"Awesome guy and delicious food!! I wish I asked for more hot sauce cause it’s probably some of the tastiest I’ve ever had. Today was my first time going and I will 1000% be returning. 10/10 would recommend"

"Freshly made Caribbean food with full of flavors. The line could be long during lunch hours, give yourself extra wait time."

"Great stuff! They used to have another cart further south near the Suntrust building that I loved. There are daily specials and complimentary drinks with the purchase of a meal. If you'd like, you can also get it quite spicy here with the addition of some scotch bonnet hot sauce. Oddly, truly spicy Jamaican isn't always available in the downtown area."

"This is exactly the kind of place Anthony Bourdain was exploring in his travels: authentic food that tastes phenomenal! We had the jerk chicken salad and the curry chicken pita (with added hot sauce) - absolutely delectable! Worth walking/driving for from out of town."
