A family run rib joint with a firey secret sauce. The location is much bigger than where they first opened, so expect to enjoy your food and classic sides while admiring their custom made 8-foot smoker.

Trinidadian food is unique in that it contains influences from several different countries, and therefore can't just be categorized as "Caribbean" or "Jamaican" cuisine. Owner Darrel Hicks describes his food by saying, "If you're looking for that cross between Indian and African and a creole base - you're gonna get a great tasting food".

Karen Lewis
