Wow!!!! Must try!! The food is incredible. I had a plate with rice and beans, lentil stew, mac n cheese and sweet potatoes. Great vegetarian options! The vegan patty was awesome too! The flavors are so delicious! The portions are generous and the staff is so warm and welcoming. Can’t say enough great things about this place. It truly made my night being there. I’m sure you’ll love it too!! Thanks for all the good vibes!

I am a vegan and I love coming here. I always get a lunch plate with their lentil stew (soooo good). Almost all of their sides are vegan as well! Their patties are also vegan and super tasty. Every employee I have encountered here has been nothing but kind. I live about 25 mins away but always stop by when I’m in the area!!
(Also get a juice when you stop by, they’re great!)

Super below average food. Jerk Chicken is dry, rice and peas is dry. Barely give any sauce even when you ask for extra jerk sauce. Cabbage had no flavor. Mac n Cheese is sub par, it was hard and inedible. I wouldn’t eat here again. Portion size is not good either for the price they charge for a plate.

Jerk’D blew me away. This is honestly some of the best Jamaican food I’ve ever had! It’s hard to find food around here that’s packed with real flavor, but they’ve nailed it.
I got the curry chicken with rice and peas, mac & cheese, okra, steamed veggies, Soursop passion juice, and a beef patty (everything was full of flavor and cooked perfectly). The portions were generous, the prices were super fair, and you can really taste the care that goes into the food.
The staff were so friendly and welcoming. The vibe of the place just makes you want to hang out and enjoy your meal. Big shoutout to the chef (seriously, five stars for that curry chicken alone).
If you haven’t tried Jerk’D yet, you’re missing out. Even if it’s a little out of your way, trust me, it’s worth the trip. I’ll definitely be back soon!

Great food from Jerked Kitchen. The jerk chicken was moist and full of flavor, the collard greens were well seasoned, and the passion fruit-soursop drink was a perfect blend. Carlton was amazing. His recommendations were spot on, and he even called after delivery to see how I liked everything. A1 customer service.

I saw this restaurant posted on Instagram and finally decided to try it out. I ordered the chicken pasta with soursop juice, and everything was amazing. The food was delicious, and the restaurant was very clean. The guy with the locs who served me provided 10/10 service.
I will definitely be back!

Just traveled back from India and I wanted to eat something with Rice but not Indian Cuisine, and came across Jerk’D and they did not disappoint. Everything we got looked fresh and tasted GREAT. We tried Chicken and Goat, and both were cooked to perfection. Fresh juices were refreshing.
Price is a little on the high end but their portions of meat is more than average, and for the taste, it’s absolutely worth it.

We absolutely love this place! We’d been wanting to visit for a while, but since most of my hospital appointments were in the mornings, we hadn’t had the chance until now. It was well worth the wait—the jerk chicken and sides were incredible, full of flavor and perfectly prepared. The atmosphere was warm and lively, with great music and an inviting ambience. On top of that, the lady who helped us was wonderfully pleasant and attentive, making the whole experience even better. We can’t wait to come back and try more from the menu!
Update: 10/30/25: We got our usual order, jerk chicken, plantains, potatoes, some rice and beans, all absolutely delicious, but we have been meaning to try curry goat. It was absolutely delicious. The meat was tender, the taste was explosive and just as I recall having it somewhere else some years ago. Great dish and very happy we tried it. The only thing about goat, if you never had it before, watch out for the bones, but what I liked, is every piece of meat was on the big bone, so that you can’t miss them.

I ordered stew chicken, Roti, oxtail, Mac n cheese, Roti looks like a tortilla that was put in the microwave. Mac and cheese from the box. Oxtail super greasy and the stewed chicken as well. This place will stay empty. $75.00 for nasty food. Yesss what you see in the pictures was $75.00 I’m fighting this. Straight up Nonsense
