Every time that visit, I have to eat at Randy’s. The food is authentic, well seasoned, high quality hospitality, the place is clean, and the service is excellent. I have sent several friends there who loved the food. It is clear that they cook with real Jamaican love .

I’ve been going to Randy’s for 4 years now. In my opinion it’s better than Donna’s and Golden Crust since those restaurants have changed their recipes and franchised.There 5 dollar lunch specials can’t be beat. Great authentic Jamaican food around in the area

Update: A year later and I still consistently take out from here. Their food is very authentic like my Jamaican farmer food. They are also now serving natural juices my favsAre The peanut punch, lemonade and pineapple ginger. Friendly owners and staff.This is actually my go to, I’m here at daily or every other day... The food has been great very authentic. If your looking for AUTHENTIC JAMAICAN food this is a hidden gem. My favorites are their brown stew and their oxtail. I don’t care for their curry. Never really had an issue except this last week I went the rice was under cooked assuming I went to early or chef changed, but still unacceptable. I didn’t make it an issue no place is perfect. But I highly recommend giving them a try.

I work near by and walked over and the food was good and the service was good as well. I’ll definitely be back for more. However, the prices for the lunch special online says 4.99 and in store it’s 7 no biggie just a tad bit misleading.
