Amazing food, wonderful staff, huge portions! Got a coupon in the mail so we thought we would try it. The menu is simple and in my mind that is always a good sign. We got the Jamaican jerk chicken. It was just the right kind of spicy. Lots of flavor not just spice for the sake of hot food. The plantains are what really topped the dish off. I would highly recommend this dish to anyone.

Love this joint! The Jerk Chicken plate is to die for! We get the large plate and it's plenty enough for two people. Always fast service and reggae playing when we are here. Highly recommended if you love authentic Jamaican food!!

Food was so good, I loved everything! I had the curry goat plate! Fresh Pineapple/Ginger drink was really good!! One of the cooks needs better manners to one of his coworkers! Overall, I'll definitely be back soon! I love this place!

Everyone who works here are so nice. Order the oxtail, you won't regret it! Our beautiful server (or could have been owner) wished us "peace & blessings" as we left. We will be returning here again soon. :)

Had jerk chicken for lunch. Really good. The stew fish is my next order though. I will also try the curry goat and oxtail. They have a market. And who could forget Ting and DG Sodas? Excellent!

One of the best Jamaican Food experiences I've had. I love their Jerk chicken which is extremely spicy *photo not shown* however really tasty. Upon my visit here me and my wife brought a friend that lives down the street to join us. He wanted to get their goat curry, which prompted me to get the same. I saw that they had fried chicken on the menu, however decided to get the goat curry after asking the server what would be the better option. She told me that the goat curry was their most popular choice. It was amazingly delicious and I highly recommend ordering that dish if you love curry and goat meat. My wife ordered their Oxtail combination with rice, beans, cabbage, and a fried plantain. Most of their combination plates/meals come with the steamed cabbage medley with a side of rice & beans. She also ordered a rum & fruit punch drink and I got their mango juice drink. Place is clean, organized, friendly and accommodating service. The atmosphere is chill and enjoyed our visit here. They have a stage and outside bar area adjecent to the patio section and it seems like they have live Reggae bands. Would love to visit again when there is live performances. They are well worth 10 🌟s. I will gladly give them a 5 !

This place definitely passes the vibe check and has the menu of an authentic Jamaican spot. The brown stewed whole snapper came in a good portion; the flavor was solid, the skin was tasty, and managed to stay crispy in the delicuous stew/juices it was resting in.. two thumbs up for that! The red beans and rice, cabbage, and plantains were decent, not bad, but nothing memorable. I'm guessing the meats are the major highlights here and the sides are an afterthought. Though I didn't try any, I'd be eager to taste their muffins and rum punch/other beverages that all looked intriguing. Rock Steady is worth your time if you're craving the flavors of Jamaica.

As a Jamaican it’s always risky finding a good Jamaican food spot but this was great. I enjoyed my food and the sorrel. Actually I’d come back for the sorrel every day if I would. Lol but I got the oxtail with rice and peas. I finished my plate before leaving so that says something because I never finish food.

My wife is Jamaican, we have tried all the Caribbean/Jamaican places in SD County. This place is by far the best one, don’t waste your $$ anywhere else. Make sure to go earlier in the day however (not after like 5PM), because they often sell out of the best stuff for good reason!

I was in San Diego on vacation and wanted to get some Jamaican food, found this place searching google maps, drive down there and I must say the food was excellent, my wife who is a great cook, gave her approval and she is very hard to please

Update: I don't know if their staff are still new or under new management but they opened almost 1 hour late. There were empty beer bottles on tables left from overnight. They did not include fried plantains in the combo plates. The food was rushed and the portion size was smaller than usual. Food was not as flavorful too. It was just a bad morning to get food here. I was craving for Jamaican food and this spot is the real deal. Jerk chicken was nicely seasoned and spicy too. The beef patties were delicious. The oxtails were amazing. Food came out freshly made. I just hope they start making jerk chicken wing plates.
