Based on the average rating of 4.2, the Happy Time Food Mart is definitely worth a visit.

What Frank V likes about Happy Time Food Mart:
This is the definition of hidden gem. The restaurant is tucked into an old convenience store that doesn't have much eye appeal. Don't let that stop you, as this is the best Jamaican food outside Jamaica. The j chicken, rice and peas, and cabbage are an obvious choice, but don't miss the oxtail, which is amazing!!!
