"Hubby had oxtail, I had jerk chicken. We are visiting the area and when we spotted this place, we knew we'd have to try it before we left. First, the atmosphere was very welcoming! It feels less like a restaurant or roadside Cafe and more like visiting a close friend. Everyone was so welcoming and warm and the beautiful young lady at the helm even provided us with tastes of the food we ordered as they prepared it, like Mama does. Then came the food. Exquisite jerk chicken, that practically fell off the bone, moist and loaded with flavor! It was served with rice and peas, which were plentiful, a small salad and some fried plantains that I'd never had before but now love. The mild sauce seems to be an in-house specialty, sweet and tangy with that beautiful burn on the back end. The oxtail was tender, flavorful, and made to perfection. These ladies definitely put their foot in it! If you find yourself looking for delicious, stick to your ribs and set fire to your lips kinda place and are in the Mt Pocono area, please do your taste buds a favor and look no further! If I could give more stars, this place definitely earns it!"

"My recent visit to this Jamaican restaurant was a complete disaster. Waited 3 whole hours for poor quality food. After placing an order at 4:22pm and being told it would be ready by 5pm, I arrived at 5:30pm to find my order nowhere near ready. The constant delays, first 15 minutes, then another 15, and then blaming rain for slow-cooking chicken, were infuriating. Calling at 6:30pm only to be told the food was ready, I rushed there at 6:45pm to find my order still not prepared. It wasn't until 7:30pm that I finally got my hands on the food, and the compensation attempt with a burnt beef patty or a $2 soda on a $105 order was insulting. My order should have been comped at this point. This place utterly failed in communication and customer service. Keeping customers waiting for three hours is beyond any reasonable expectation. To add insult to injury, the food was tasteless and uninspiring—I wouldn't recommend anything from this place, especially not the jerk chicken or oxtail. The overall experience was a train wreck, and I can't emphasize enough how disappointed I am. This restaurant should seriously reconsider its business practices, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone."

"Absolutely abysmal experience at this Jamaican restaurant. After a draining journey from Toronto to Pennsylvania due to a funeral, my family was hoping for some comfort food to lift our spirits. We ordered our meals at 4 pm, being told it would be ready by 5 pm. We generously arrived half an hour late at 5:30 pm, but to our astonishment, our order was nowhere in sight. Each time we inquired, we were dismissively told, "just 15 more minutes." After hours of empty promises, we left it to them to call us to come back but I had to take the initiative to call them at 6:30 pm. The audacity of them to claim they were "just about to call" is laughable. Yet the farce didn't end there. We arrived 15 minutes later and STILL, our food wasn't ready. When we finally got our food at 7:30 pm, it was bland, uninspired, and not worth the wait. Their pitiful offer of a $2 coke for a 3-hour delay on a $105 order is a slap in the face. Avoid this place at all costs unless you're in the mood for mediocre food and horrendous service."

"I live just around the corner from Yaddie AJC. I love this place it's a small slice of delicious Jamaican atmosphere! The Curry Goat with rice and beans is fantastic. The people are warm and friendly. Hi highly recommend the experience!"

"Jerk chicken was amazing! I was driving by and stopped in for some food. Everyone was very friendly and explained the options and differences in the sauces available. I was in and out in less than 15 minutes with delicious hot food. I will definitely be back for more!"
