    You get 4 ribs in a plate. But if you order a mix plate, you can get 6 ribs.

    I come in anytime I can and they always recognize me.

    My favorite thing about the ribs is using the leftover ribs/rice in the morning with an over easy egg.

    Food looks good but I couldn't taste it due to the fact they closed shop prior closing time! He seems the 2 stars. Learn how to operate a business. If you say you close at 2:30 you suppose to close at 2:45 not 2:15! Not impressed!

    Update...
    Stopped by again and food was delicious!! Took a little wait for the food. So they make it fresh. Parking not the best. Bumping up my review to 4 stars because of the taste.

    This is one of the best shrimps I've ever had. I've been on the island for 6 days and I've splurged on shrimps and this one tops it all off. The ribs where also absolutely delicious, the pasta was amazing, and the service was fast and very very sweet.

    The shrimps, amazing.. seasoned with garlic, big and juicy, it was a explosion of taste as soon as you bite into them. Everything was absolutely delicious. The pricing is reasonable nothing outrageous. Amazing local spot. I would give it a 10 star if I could!

    This restaurant is a hidden gem! If you have a vehicle you must come eat here.

    The baby back ribs are seasoned wonderfully and the meat falls off the bone. Bbq sauce covers the rice and the Mac salad is delicious.

    The garlic shrimp.....wow!! All I can say. I've eaten A LOT of shrimp, and this is right up there with some of the best shrimp I've ever had. Thick tender shrimps that were cooked perfectly and the garlic seasoning just sets it off. The shrimp really soaked up all the seasoning even after you peel them.

    I personally think that these were the best garlic shrimp I had during my entire trip!!
    Check this place out!
