The food was delicious and the atmosphere was Caribbean vibes. The staff were very helpful and gave me some great tips being that it was my first time ordering there. I will definitely be recommending to others and returning soon. Specifically, I would recommend the jerk chicken with cabbage and the yellow rice. The oxtails gravy omg omg so much flavor. You will not miss trying the food here. I would give them 10 stars if I could.

atmosphere was bit dark when you walk in. I was disappointed they didn’t have lunch specials.. no plantains.. no festivals.. and the jerk chicken was kinda undercooked although it was tender.. Also they drown my rice with gravy.. I CAN SAY FLAVOR WAS THERE.. BUT I won’t be going Again.. prices are out my budget and drinks are expensive as well. ♀️

I am not an expert on Jamaican food, but I eat here pretty frequently as I live in the apartments across the way. I will say its hit or miss. But I am not taking any stars away for that. They make their food fresh, so variations should be expected. On a good day, their dark meat jerk chicken is really good. I like their cabbage. No one has ever been rude to me on any visit. They deserve more than a 3.9 rating in my opinion.

Visited here around noon on a Monday. Parking is free and accessible but limited and tight. The restaurant has a very lively atmosphere and was clean, fresh, and welcoming. The staff seemed a bit occupied and relaxed rather than attentive and welcoming like the restaurant’s atmosphere. I ordered a small oxtail plate. It was a bit overpriced at $26. I had 2 large oxtails, a medium one, and a small one. The food was seasoned well and tasted great however the oxtails were tough and considering the size on top of that, not worth the price at all. I expected that they would fall off the bone given that I’ve spent less and had better quality. I was given 1 napkin with my food and had to ask for more then was given 2 more. I believe anyone serving oxtails or any food cooked in a stew or sauce should know to serve enough paper napkins. They could also use better quality paper products to serve their food in. It wasn’t the worse, but for the price I expected quality food, better service, and serving products. I would try them again and hope for a better experience but would also encourage the restaurant to also give the type of quality experience to customers in exchange for the price that they’re asking to retain customers.

I’ve been to this location twice, and the one in Riverdale I go to all the time. This location failed me both times, not sure what it is. But the rice and peas taste over cooked, mushy. I got the jerk chicken, small and over priced. Chicken was bony, every bite had small pieces of bone in it. $18 for the same meal I pay $12.79 for in Riverdale. Quality is night and day, this spot suck!

whenever I come I’ve learned to just get curry chicken with extra oxtail gravy on my rice due to the oxtails being overpriced and very gummy ! the scenery here is nice and the workers are okay not as friendly and welcoming but the food is fresh earlier in the day

Located on the busy corner of Metropolitan Pkwy & University Ave in West End Atlanta. It’s not the most modern styled restaurant, but it has a groovy, hookah styled atmosphere. The patio has covered seating, TV monitors and always good music. It’s boasted as having the best Jamaican Food in Atlanta. I usually order the Veggie Plate. It’s a decent option if you opt for plant-based options. It’s a little disappointing that it only comes with “peas and rice” and way too much cabbage for one meal. The rice barely has any peas mixed in. A couple of fried plantains are included. They’re so good! To me, this plate is lacking a bit for the price. Otherwise, the rice is tasty with some curry broth poured over. They also offer Jerk Chicken, Curry Chicken and Stew Oxtails. An employee named Maria assisted me on a Saturday night. She gave wonderful, warm service. Parking is easy and right on the side of the building. As a sweet bonus, they have good cake for dessert.

I discovered this place driving home and decided to come back and try it. The food is excellent and will not disappoint! The jerk chicken wasn’t over seasoned, and you can taste the smokiness while eating it! Paired with the sauce, it was a flavor bomb in your mouth! The shrimp pasta was good, but the shrimp themselves didn’t have any seasoning. When eaten with the pasta and the sauce, it creates the perfect bite. You will end up getting more food than expected, and with the friendly staff, you will leave happy.

I recently visited Jamrock Jerk Center & Grill in Atlanta and had a great experience. I tried the brown stew chicken and jerk chicken, both served with rice and peas, and here’s my take:
This dish was quite flavorful, with a rich, savory, and slightly sweet sauce that perfectly complemented the tender chicken. The rice and peas were well-cooked and made a great pairing with the stew. I loved the depth of flavor in the sauce—it felt like true comfort food.
The jerk chicken was smoky and well-seasoned, just as it should be. The traditional Jamaican spices brought a nice level of heat without being overpowering. The chicken was tender and juicy, making it a satisfying meal.
The restaurant itself is small but has a lively, authentic Jamaican vibe that I really enjoyed. It felt like a slice of Jamaica right in Atlanta. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better.
