By far one of the BEST JERK CHICKEN IN THE STATE! Yes STATE! The only con is that they need to be more generous when adding the meat portion because that is what it lacks other then that, delicious! Spices are on point and rice is nice and fluffy, yummy! All my foodies follow my insta for delicious eats @girleatsworldx

Anytime I come back home, this is a must stop for me. I've had Jamaican food from many other spots and this is by far my favorite, hands down! I always get the Jerk Chicken and it never disappoints. Keep it up!

I usually avoid writing restaurant reviews, but I was thoroughly impressed with the fried chicken, rice, and peas, accompanied by fresh vegetables and a flavorful curry goat gravy drizzled over the chicken and rice.

Jerk chicken to go. Delicious, and a ton of food for what you pay. Brought it over to Seaside park for an ocean-view picnic. It was cash only when we went but there’s an ATM a couple doors down. Highly recommend!

Found my new go-to place for delicious Jamaican food. Had jerk chicken with rice and beans and cabbage. Got medium size portion for dinner, and was full. The chicken was soo good!! Can't wait to go back and try other dishes. Great friendly service! Easy to get to, right off the highway.

I’ve been eating Jamaican food, my entire life, I’ve been to Jamaica; Rootsman Is the most authentic and the closest resemblance to actually eating in Jamaica. There are a lot of good Jamaican restaurants in Bridgeport, But this place captivates the ingredients And flavor second to none. The only place I’ve had better jerk chicken is in Jamaica.
