What people are saying

Don't take our word for it

I pulled up to support Chef Mike, and I was blown away. I ordered the curry goat and the oxtail dinner, and the portions were incredible. The food looked amazing, smelled even better, and every bite delivered. As a fellow chef, I know good food when I see it, and Chef Mike absolutely did his thing. If you're looking for authentic, flavorful food and generous portions, you've got to check him out.

Good questions

Before you order

How far in advance do I need to order?

Family trays and large orders need at least 3 days' notice. Weekly dinners follow the weekly schedule: order by Wednesday, ready Friday. For full-service events, reach out as early as you can so we can hold your date. Popular weekends book up.

How much are the family trays?

Family meat trays: Oxtail $150, Curry Goat $140, Jerk Chicken $130, Curry Chicken $130. Every meat tray is served with rice & peas, steamed cabbage, and plantains. Side trays: Rice & Peas and Steamed Cabbage are $20 half / $35 full, Fried Plantains $18 half / $30 full. Or grab the Family Side Bundle (all three side trays) for $90.

What area do you serve?

We're based in Lawrenceville, GA and serve Gwinnett County and the surrounding metro Atlanta area. For events outside that range, ask. Depending on the date and size, we can often make it work.

Do you deliver, or is it pickup only?

Both. Weekly dinner orders are dropped off or picked up on Fridays. Family trays can be picked up or delivered locally. Full-service events include delivery and setup.

Do you require a deposit?

Deposits apply to event catering only. Events over $500 require a $50 deposit and events over $1,000 require a $100 deposit to lock in your date. Deposits are non-refundable and count toward your total. Chef Mike sends a secure payment link with your quote, and the remaining balance is due at your event. Family trays and weekly dinner orders don't require a deposit.

How does event pricing work?

Every event is quoted custom based on your menu, guest count, and service level. Tell us about your event through the form and Chef Mike will call you within 24 hours with a clear quote. Events over $500 carry a non-refundable $50 deposit and events over $1,000 a $100 deposit to lock in your date, paid through a secure link sent with your quote. Deposits count toward your total.

How spicy is the food? Can you adjust it?

Authentic doesn't have to mean five-alarm. Jerk carries real heat by tradition, but most dishes can be seasoned mild, medium, or full fire. Tell us your crowd and we'll season accordingly.

Can you handle dietary needs?

Yes. We regularly accommodate no-pork, pescatarian, and vegetable-forward plates (our steamed cabbage, rice & peas, festival, and plantains are crowd favorites on their own). Note any allergies in your order and we'll flag anything we can't safely guarantee.

How many people does a full tray feed?

A full tray generally serves 15 to 20 people alongside sides; a half tray serves 8 to 10. If you tell us your headcount, we'll tell you exactly what to order so nobody leaves hungry.

Can I change or cancel my order?

Weekly orders can be changed up until the Wednesday cutoff. Tray orders can be adjusted up to 3 days out. Deposits are non-refundable, but if plans shift, reach out on WhatsApp as soon as you can and we'll work with you on rescheduling where possible.
