“ The food and drinks were amazing. The best Mac and cheese in CT. Jerk chicken and oxtail were absolutely delicious. Cocktails were also fantastic. For honesty they do have a DJ so this is not the place for a quiet dinner. But the music definitely enhanced the atmosphere for a much needed Friday night of relaxation. Think of a club but with great food and no dancing....BUT there is a swing!!! ”
“ I would recommend this for anybody looking for authentic Jamaican food. My favorite dishes are the rasta pasta with any meat but get the lobster or Oxtail . The oxtail in general is so juicy and tender. The service is great the owner checks up on tables regularly and is a viral part of the culture. Rum Punch is on point and you should get it served in the pineapple it's just a slide on island on your table. Avid foodie and love this place. ”
“ 5 Stars for the wings and shrimp - battered and sauce was flavorful. These were perfect. Now, they're going to have to revamp the oxtail rasta pasta recipe because it doesn't even look good and didn't taste its price tag. Oxtail empanada was okay.. a bit hyped up for what it is. It could have been regular shredded beef in there and I wouldn't taste the difference. We went on a Sunday where it wasn't especially lit, but we enjoyed the music and made the best of it. The hookah was hittin so that's always a plus ”
“ The curry goat is authentic Jamaican. In other words excellent. Our server was very good and pleasant. Will be back ”
“ Excellent food and service. Location was pretty, our waitress was on point, great music/atmosphere, and most importantly, the food was great! Thank you we will be back, A !! ”
“ I stopped by Grill 2 tonight with my cousin, and what a vibrant experience it was!. The highlight of my visit was the DJ spinning an infectious mix of Caribbean rhythms and Afrobeats that had the whole place pulsing with energy. The food was equally delightful, especially the rich, flavorful curry goat that hit all the right notes. But beyond the music and the meals, it was the electric vibe and the lively crowd that truly made the night unforgettable. It’s definitely a return visit for me. This restaurant is pretty closed to road and be easily noticed from a vehicle in normal traffic. There’s also wheelchair accessible entrance #OnGoogleMaps #Google #Food #Afrobeat #Caribbean #Bar #Travel #CT #Bridgeport #Tristate ”
