  The food here is excellent!! They do prepare some of it while you wait. My only beef is they don't do the scotch bonnet meals.

  large sides? The greens were basically a small. The Mac/cheese was runny and tasted like they seasoned it with Ramen noodle packets. The greens had grit/dirt in them. I was disappointed. I threw the food out. Was good on my first visit but the other visits have been hit and miss for me. They took about 15 mins to give me my so called large sides. I think I'm done giving them my money!! The workers seem like they hate being tReally wanted to support but with the horrible customer service and the inconsistency, I'm done with them!

  The Experience:
  I've never been to this side of town, so you know it has to be for food.
  
  Roof Top Grill is located on the side of a building, so you have to turn in by the Walgreens to find parking. It's okay to loop around, but I found some spots. I think everyone who eats there has the same story since you can't park on the street really.
  
  Inside is a bare necessities type of place. You can eat there or take it to go, which they box up for you anyway. You have glass separating you from the food, but the staff are really nice. One even directed me on how to get into the place since I was poking around the outside looking for the entrance.
  
  You have a choice for getting things as a "Special" or "Dinner." Special comes with rice and cornbread, while the dinner is rice, cornbread, and two sides. A dinner is just over $10 if you get the oxtail, so it's a deal.
  
  The oxtail is like stew meat with the bones still in tact, allowing the meat to stay flavorful and juicy. There can also be a few chunks of fat with it, so be mindful of that. The Jamaican cabbage is like a veggie soup with a little hint of spice. Not the 'corned beef and cabbage' ordeal, but a little more flavorful and soupy. The plantains were pretty standard. The cornbread was decent, but in comparison to all the cornbread around, it's a weak contender. My least favorite part was the rice under the oxtail. It might have been a bit older as there were some hard grains clumped together and the flavor is somewhat smoky.
  
  It was a perfect meal for a cold day. Now I know what lies in store on this side of Louisville.

  So this being one of the only places that serves Jamaican food I had to check it out. The wait is one of biggest reason I have it 3 stars. They need to get help so they can keep up with demand. I went around 1:45 and was told it would be 45 minutes to an hour depending on what I wanted.
  Next thing that was disappointing was the portions. I got the tiniest helping of cabbage and plantains. It was sad for a dinner portion. Cabbage doesn't cost much so they could've given more then they do.
  With that this place isn't an absolute must to try. If I'm in area and got time on my hands I might go back for curry chicken but otherwise I won't be back.

  Jamaican me crazy!! One of the finer hidden gems in all of KY. I don't even want to leave this review because I want to keep the secret all to myself.
  
  Unfortunately they were out of their famous oxtails when I arrived, but I'm glad because I ended up trying their goat curry. The meat is fall off the bone tender, there's just something special about it I can't even explain. I never knew cabbage could taste so good until I had it here, their sweet potato had the freshest taste but cooked perfectly, not too soft and mushy.
  After a bite of my goat curry, I immediately headed back to the counter to order their 2nd most famous dish: The Jerk Rib Tips. I nibbled on my goat curry for 10 minutes before the rib tips were ready. These were succulent, juicy, tender, and the jerk seasoning really stood out. How have I just discovered this place?
  
  The place is decked out with Bob Marley canvas prints because who could do better justice to Jamaica than Mr. Marley? Menu is written on a chalkboard. The staff (2 people  behind counter) are very friendly and just want to make sure your food is satisfying. Gosh this place is sooooo good!
