The Jerk Center is an absolute gem. From the moment we walked in, Marvin was incredibly friendly and welcoming with the kind of hospitality that immediately makes you feel at home.
My son ordered the curried goat, and I had the ribs. We both chose rice and peas and steamed cabbage for our sides. For appetizers, we shared jerk wings, coco bread, plantains, and a beef patty that was generously filled, piping hot, and had just the right amount of spice. Let me tell you, the coco bread didn’t stand a chance as my son happily sopped up every last bit of that curried goat with it.
The jerk gravy I poured over my rice and peas was outstandingly rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Everything was seasoned just right, and you could truly taste that it was made with love and care.
I eat all over the world, and this meal easily landed in my top ten. Authentic, comforting, and unforgettable. We’ll absolutely be back.

If you’re looking for authentic, home-cooked comfort food made with love… look no further. The chef here is passionate about serving up the best Jamaican flavors around. Highly recommend the oxtail and goat. The chicken wings are fall off the bone delicious. Prices are fantastic for the portion sizes. Give it a try and youll be hooked! My husband says it feels like leaving your moms house after a full meal

This was my first time in and had the ribs which were fantastic! I also tried the curry and I literally could put that on anything it was insanely flavorful and addictive! I’m going back tomorrow for lunch. Also I’d like to recognize and thank Marvin who is a great guy and really made it an even better experience! Adding this to my regular visit list without a doubt.

I’ve been coming here for over a decade and the food never disappoints. The aesthetic of the restaurant is great and feels authentic. Normally, I get the curry goat or the jerk chicken, but today I got the oxtail – it was so tender and delicious. Everything is cooked to perfection with the right amount of spices, giving the food many different layers of flavor. Portion size on lunch is very fair.
Do yourself a favor and swing in to grab a bite after a long day spent relaxing on the beach. You won’t regret it!

I saw this restaurant on the cashback app Upside and went to check them out. I was in the market already for a new Jamaican restaurant. It’s very spacious inside and lively with the music. Marvin is a cool guy and I had a great time conversing with him. The food portions were abundant and I got a lot of bang for the buck. I’ll definitely be back.

So glad I did…. the jerk chicken, cabbage, rice, and mac & cheese were all absolutely delicious!!!!! They are also the friendliest people ever!!!!!! Will definitely go back to try more!!!!!

Was super excited to try this Jamaican spot for oxtail. The beef pattie we had as an appetizer on the way home was pretty decent….but once home and once I tasted the oxtail I threw it out. It had absolutely NO taste beyond starch!! Perhaps today was an “off” day for the cook, dont know. But I do know I’ll be making the hour, one way commute, for the spot that I know is always hitting’ with it. Sorry but places only get one time to screw up my taste for something. Won’t be returning. 🙁

Have lived in the area for years and never stopped in. Decided to do so today, staff were friendly, and the food was delicious. I had the jerk chicken and it was full of flavor and fresh. Portions are huge! Will be going back.

Authentic Jamaican eats located in a old strip plaza.
This place is nothing fancy and building looks a bit dated. However the service was fast and the food was good.
It’s the definition of a hole in the wall restaurant. Definitely authentic and hardy.
