Ordered delivery on UberEats and it was so worth it. Prices a bit higher than the average Caribbean/Jamaican restaurant but the food was sooo good. I reheated the pasta and half of the salmon the following day and it was even more delicious. I also ordered coco bread and I'd give it a 3/5. I'll definitely be ordered again. Give it a try.

Hangs down the best Jamaican food in the area and I’ve tried quite a few. I’ve tried out Kool Runnings repeatedly, by myself and with family, ordered different dishes, and the taste of the food has been consistently delicious. I’m not sure why it doesn’t have better ratings on here but it undoubtedly deserves 5 stars.

I’ve been in a mood for ox tail for a long time and was having a hard time finding a good Jamaican restaurant to fit my need until I found this place. It’s a small restaurant but I can tell they stay busy because of quality of food. I ordered oxtail rice beans and cabbage and my girlfriend decided to try the curry chicken. Our food was very flavorful and we enjoyed every bite, definitely suggest to people who want some good Jamaican food!

This place has the taste!! The food is always fresh and tasty buuuut prepare to wait cause it's going to take a min! Go early so all options will be available because the later it gets they run out of items offered on the menu! There's always this extremely nice lightskinned lady at the register...she is what keeps me coming back! Lol I just can't resist her smile! I drive across town just to eat here and if ahe wasn't there I definitely wouldn't make the drive ????♀️❤️

The best oxtail dinner I've ever had. The rice and peas were delicious as well as the collard greens. The dinner portion was huge, which I appreciated since oxtail is probably the priciest meal on the menu. It was a great dinner and a perfect lunch for the next day. The beef patty was very good as well. I wish I would have gotten the staff's names because they were kind, friendly and fast. Food took barely any time to be prepared to go.

I love this gem of a restaurant!! Great oxtail dish with greens, rice and peas, and plantains hits the spot!! And the Jamaican beef patty and coco bread is on point!! Love this restaurant!

The BEST, most delicious jamaican food I've had! I always get such kind service and great portions! I especially loved the jerk chicken lunch special with extra jerk sauce on my rice and beans and a side order of plantains. I will definitely return when we crave delicous flavorful food again!

I came in and ordered from here today and the food was absolutely amazing!!! Very clean atmosphere and great customer service. If you’re in the area give them a try! 10/10 highly recommend!

I stumbled across this place on accident and boy am I glad I did. Upon entering, it was quite busy and I see why now. The hospitality of the staff were so warm and welcoming. It was my first time there so the lady at the front (who seems like the owner) let me sample some dishes before making my decision. The pasta is freaking amazing and the jerk chicken reminded me of my college days with my Jamaican roommate. I got the oxtail and it was DELICIOUS. My gosh. I’ll definitely be back more often. Thank you so much for the hospitality.

My husband and I went here on a late night and although they were closed they still served is. Because it was our first time and i was unsure of what to order she gave me a sampler plate and even a free beef patty (which we loved). The meat was freshly cooked and the peas&rice was cooked just right. The manager is a very friendly and welcoming person. I have seen some negative reviews but I do not think that they came to the same place i did tonight. My husband and I will definately be back.
