Jerk Dishes

Jerk Chicken

$23.95+

Half chicken is grilled and served with rice, peas, and sweet plantains.

“The Jerk Chicken here was some of the best cooked chicken I've had; not just on the Range but anywhere! Skin was crispy and the meat itself was just the right moisture level with great flavor. Affordable and the Service was also great! Waitress earned my gratitude when she helped stop my son from dipping his fingers in the ghost pepper hot sauce. If you're on 53 on your way to wherever, it's a welcome change of pace from the usual food options and just a few miles off the highway.”

Pasta

Rasta Pasta

Linguine, vegetables, and coconut-lime curry come with a chosen protein.

“What a great surprise finding this place to eat. My first time and had this curry pasta dish Rasta Pasta - really prepared perfectly and the shrimp was so fresh! I will be a “regular” here! Yum!!”

“Great food. This place has been on my wish list for a long time, and I happened to be in the area to try it. Jerk chicken is a solid quarter chicken with a good char on it, wet jerk sauce on the side (get the hot stuff, it's still not THAT hot), beans and rice has a coconut milk sweetness to it, and fried sweet plantains. Others had the Rasta Pasta and really liked it. Good specialty drinks, and a great Caribbean atmosphere.”

Tacos

Coconut-Crusted Dishes

Coconut Crusted Mahi

$26.95

Mahi-mahi coated in a coconut crust, with sides customizable.

“I visited a few days ago and had not been since moving away from Duluth many years ago. I was unsure if the experience would live up to my memories but it did! The place is so cute and has great vibes. The staff were absolutely fabulous. So kind, attentive and friendly. We got the volcano drink and it was so tasty and fun! The nachos were to die for. I'll be thinking about them for awhile. The coconut crusted mahi was also delicious. I wish we had room for dessert. Guess we'll have to come back soon!”
