A few diners have mentioned that the wait for food can extend during high-traffic periods, particularly for larger groups. Although the food quality typically meets expectations, the fluctuation in wait times can detract from the overall experience during rush hours.

Always a great time when you come to Richard's. It's a local lounge with classic authentic Jamaican food. The individuals who run and operate this restaurant are always friendly. The staff is always kind and willing to meet your every need. The space is beautiful and can host a party to several parties throughout the well made facility. On top of that, drink prices are more than fair and the owner is more than willing to work with you if you should choose to rent an event space here.
