Phenomenal experience!!!! I went in for the ox tail (macaroni n cheese and red beans and rice for my sides) and it didn’t disappoint! Generous portions and it tasted amazing. Got the smash burger to go for my wife, she said that was amazing too! Good conversation with the owner (I didn’t get his name). He said all the recipes came from his mom, and I can confirm she knew what she was doing! I will definitely be back!

First time eating here after visiting the University of Cincinnati. Happened to be walking down the street and saw an advertisement for their smash burger combo meal. Decided to come in and try it and it was worth it. The burger was super juicy and packed with flavor from the jerk sauce without being too overpowering. Also during our meal, one of the workers/cooks came by our table and gave us free cornbread. Really nice staff and good food. Definitely come try this out.

Tried this Caribbean spot recently and overall had a great experience.

Stopped by Gee's Caribbean Kitchen and ordered the curry goat with rice and peas and greens. The portion size was generous, with plenty of tender, bone-in pieces of goat. The meat was well seasoned, cooked until tender, and covered in a rich curry gravy that had a lot of flavor without being overly salty or greasy. The rice and peas complemented the curry well, and the greens were tender and flavorful. Everything tasted fresh, and the meal was filling. My only suggestion would be to include…

I usually don’t make post on Google but the food is very good I didn’t even get a picture. The corn bread is absolutely amazing. The jerk chicken was so good, I was thinking about going back in there to get some more. The oxtails were very good. I got yams also but that was alright but I wouldn’t get it again but that corn breaddddddd. They got that corn bread from the first grand mother who made corn bread!
