I LOVE JERK JAMAICAN SO MUCH!!! I’ve tried many jerk places in the city and literally nothing beats this place!!! From the atmosphere, to the amazing rude girl sauce and tender jerk chicken, everything is genuinely top notch!!! Not to mention the hospitality here was super friendly and really stood out to me. Christian was beyond helpful and took his time to answer any questions we had about the menu. We ended up ordering a little bit of everything and was so impressed. They also have a bar which is nice for if you want to have a quick drink while you wait for your food. I highly recommend this place if you’re in the area and want some yummy food from another culture!!!

OMG we’re telling everyone we know about this place! The food was incredible! The meat was juicy and full of flavor. The lady working there was so kind & THE VIEW! My only complaint is that their location is 3.5 hours from my home. We will be back! Thank you again.

All around wonderful experience. Amazing service and food. I had the brisket and a friend of mine had the jerk chicken wings. Both were delicious.

Really glad to have found this spot! The employees were really helpful in explaining the menu, and the food was great. My little brother said these were the best wings he’s had, and that’s high praise coming from picky kid! The server brought us complementary fries; they were delicious, but we ate them before I thought to take a picture. Definitely recommend checking this place out.

I have to say, especially with all the construction it’s unfortunate this spot is a hidden gem. It genuinely deserves such a spotlight. I’m a person with terrible social anxiety at times and visiting a new restaurant can be overwhelming. The staff here is BEYOND kind and patient. They were excellent with providing their expertise and making this such an easy dining. And the food? Don’t get me started. I was working at a tattoo shop around the corner and this spot is definitely going to be a regular spot to visit. I already sent a few clients here! The food was BEYOND amazing. I mean the chicken, the sides. All the flavors blend so well. I was beyond happy with this place. Prepare to be sick of me I’ll be back often!

Happened upon this place while in the area, so glad I stopped in! I was pleased they had festival! Never seen this on a menu outside of Jamaica. The rice and peas was actually cooked with coconut milk! Another surprise plus. The food was very tasty and I liked all the sauces Fyi, they don’t have half chicken or serve white meat other than wings. The chicken didn’t have the wood or open fire grill taste I like in authentic Jamaican jerk, but tasty nevertheless. The candied bacon was good too. The lady at the counter was nice and offered me water when I decided to dine in with my carry out.

Seriously the best service ever. My office is in the same building and we are blessed with yummy smells everyday! Quality is reliable and their Chicken is SO yummy. Perfect for lunch and you may even have leftovers!
My favorites are their beef, chicken, and mac and cheese. Their salads and bowls are amazing too! We’ve eaten here for takeout, a quick lunch, drinks, dinner, etc. and have never had a bad experience!

Had lunch for my first time at Jerk. I got a quarter jerk chicken that came with coconut rice & peas, & cornbread fritter automatically (took a bite outta mine before I snapped a photo). I chose the fried plantains and slaw as my 2 sides. I added rude girl sauce. The chicken was great, high quality meat, cooked & seasoned just like I expected from the pictures. The sides were good– The slaw could have had a touch more acid for my taste but the flavors were distinct and stood on their own which is not easy to do. I liked the lightly sweet fritter- nice touch. I do have to say I didn’t love the rude girl sauce. The consistency was thick like refried beans and the flavor was a little too on the Christmas side. You get a large amount of food for the price and it came out very quickly. Staff was nice, but a little rushed, which is kind of the norm these days. It wasn’t apparent to me on my first visit but you order at the counter and take out or sit down. Definitely would stop by again.
