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!

1st. Time here and walking thru the door you get the smells coming from the back kitchen/ front where the food is just waiting for you to order it .. Ok so I ordered the brown stewed chicken with rice n beans and it is like everything right now as I dig into this dish .. They give you a good portion of food they are not shy with feeding you .. Everything is really good n flavorful I will be going back for other dishes price isn't bad either

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.

My second time patronizing but first time getting a fish for myself. The stew fish was great. The patty was moist, flaky and flavorful. The portion sizes were ample. There was a line inside, seems like they have a dedicated following. The old man up front was watching baseball game and I realized he may be the owner or somehow affiliated because when I asked what time they closed, a customer yelled out to him the inquiry and he answered. I get the feeling this is a family run business. I just moved to south end recently. Im finding the spots around here that thrive in the neighborhood, this seems to be one of them. The place was clean, decorated in proper theme. Parking is hit or miss. There's a lot of stores in this small shopping strip and very little parking. I was lucky to find a spot. This is probably a place I'll be walking to. The young register guy was personable, greeted me with a smile. Took my order and had my food ready in no time. The rice was good, the cabbage (salad) was seasoned well. I'll be back!

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.
