I really wanted to like these folks because they were so super nice and I give them 5+ stars for their customer service and friendly attitude. The food just didn't do it for me though.
I had jerk chicken with rice and peas and garlic green beans; beef patty and coco bread. The chicken was seasoned well and cooked properly but didn't have any gravy.

Being of Caribbean descent we were adamant about ensuring the food was as authentic tasting as one of our family members cooking, Marlie knocked it out the park! IT WAS THE MOST DELICIOUS, WELL SEASONED, FALLING OFF THE BONE, MADE WITH LOVE spread we could have asked for. Hands down the best Jamaican food in CLT, I would recommend Marlie to bring the flavors to every and all occasions. You will not be...
