The wait wasn’t that Long. The Food Is Awesome and I personally Recommend the Jerk Chicken. The prices are Definitely reasonable and they have a Awesome Lunch time combo and if you pair it with their beef patty’s made with Coco Bread!! Trust Me it’s A Good Deal for about 10. Please give it a try on if your in downtown Rochester and need a quick Delicious Meal.

I'm a pilot visiting from Utah and this place was great. The lady running the restaurant was super kind and helpful when I asked her what she would recommend. I ended up getting some plantains and a beef patty. (She threw in a dumpling as well). Incredible food for a great price! Cash only! I hope to come back to Rochester soon!

Highly recommend! Great food. Good portions that are reasonably priced. Great for a quick in and out lunch or diner.(no seating) But get there early because first time we tried to go they were already sold out! Got the pepper steak and brown stew chicken both were perfectly fall apart tender and full of flavor.

This is a new way for me to describe a meal but here, at Everything Iz Good, the food tastes honest. Delicious. Had the jerk chicken which I’ve heard of but never tried. Yum. So glad I found this place. Modest place, mostly takeout but I wish I lived close by...but I’m only visiting from out of state

So I googled local Jamaica restaurants and I’m in love. This tiny shop which is blazing hot in the winter delivers top notch authentic taste. This cash only shop delivers tantalizing, fall off the bone oxtail with Shelly rice and peas. I am excited to go back and try more food. They have an atm inside. Def check them out.

Ordered the brown stew chicken it was delicious. The cabbage they put on the side of it is outstanding! The rice was so flavorful but not overpowering. 10/10 Would absolutely recommend, want to try the Jerk Chicken next!

Every single menu item is an absolute banger. This shit is the definition of soul food. MAJOR heft for the price and absolutely packed with savory, delicious, ethnically glorious protein. The pepper steak, jerk and oxtail are all must haves
