Yeah Mon’‼️
This was my first time eating at Jerk Pit, and it came highly recommended by an employee visiting from another office in our building. To be honest, I was skeptical. Many Caribbean restaurants I have tried tend to be overpriced with food that is underwhelming at best.
I even mentioned this to the young lady at the counter as I completed my order. She paused, looked at me with confidence, and simply said, “You’ll be back.” She was right.
The food was outstanding. Flavorful, well seasoned, and deeply satisfying. As other reviews have mentioned, the portions are very generous. I am playing bachelor for a couple of weeks while my family is out of town, and I bought two plates that I split into multiple meals. They lasted me nearly a week. Nearly, because the food was so good I almost finished one plate in a single sitting, which would have been pure gluttony. Jokes aside, I was genuinely impressed.
I want to commend Jerk Pit for their cuisine, portion size, and pricing. I would not call it expensive. I would call it moderate and fair for the quality and quantity. A quick note that Sundays are dinner pricing, but it is worth it. I highly recommend this place to anyone who enjoys Caribbean cuisine, especially Jamaican food.
I ordered the curry chicken roti and the Jamaican jerk barbecue ribs, and both were home runs. The curry chicken was tender, the roti dough was excellent, the stewed cabbage was well done, and the rice and peas were very good. What impressed me most was how well the rice reheated. Many places fall apart on day two, but this rice and peas tasted just as good, if not better, with a subtle smokiness coming through more clearly the next day.
The jerk barbecue ribs were seasoned perfectly with the right balance of heat and sweetness. If I had one critique, it would be that plantains are not offered as an option. I love plantains and would gladly choose them over stewed cabbage. (They do offer plantains as a side option but purchased separately, not included with the meals).
I also ordered a side of their fried dumplings. My goodness. My grandmother would have been proud. If you remember the movie Ratatouille, there is a moment when the critic takes a bite and is transported back to childhood comfort and warmth. That is exactly what those dumplings did for me. They took me back to sitting at my grandmother’s knees as her baking and cooking assistant, tasting food fresh from the kitchen.
Thank you, Jerk Pit, for a truly pleasant culinary experience. As Sherry said, I will be back. And I promise you, if you go once, you will be back too.

This was our first time stopping by. Their jerk chicken was some of the best I have ever tried. It was moist and full of flavor. It came with rice and peas and cabbage. Those were good as well.

I enjoyed the meal, and the service. My only gripe would be the upcharge for the side dishes. I ordered the jerk chicken and a jerk rib meal; I didn’t get that island taste, but it was okay. The meals included the rice and peas, but the cabbage was an extra $6.00. The bill was $60.00 for two people…a little expensive, but you be your own judge.

The jerk pork and chicken combo with an additional side of jerk pork (my fave). This place is delicious and amount of food is on point. Whenever I’m in the area I stop in to take home to the family.

The oxtails and the beef Patties are amazing! My first time trying it with coco bread and it was amazing. Came here a big while ago and forgot to review, but this place is a must! The owner was so nice and sweet as well, excellent customer service. Their wings are nice and juicy too I didn’t even take a pocture of my food cause i was too busy eating it lol.
Best oart is They have fresh juices that the owner makes, they’re amazing!!! Hands down one of the best fresh juices Ive had in a while. I recommend the fruit punch for sure, she sells out really fast. The beet juice is amazing as well!!!
They also had some desserts but i didn’t grab any (i regret it now )
Need to come here again!
