I placed an online order on 12/28 and was told it would be ready by 4:18. I arrived at 4:18 and made my way to the counter where she informed me that they didn’t have any festivals and that she told me over the phone?? I let her know that I did not speak to her or anyone else on the phone, so she must have me confused with someone else. She refunded me for the festivals and said give them 5 minutes for the large dark meat plate. Waited, and waited saw people come in after me and order and leave with their food. While I sat there and waited. At 4:48 I said I must be going crazy because why am I still here, I walked up to the counter again, only to be told my food still wasn’t ready but was coming out shortly. Within 2 minutes the lady came out the back with the food. An hour for jerk chicken is crazy. The customer service was subpar but the food was okay. If you go just show up 25 minutes after the estimated ready time because they are not organized whatsoever.

I absolutely love everything about this place and I’ve been coming for a while. They have a newly put together Lunch special which includes a full entree and a drink plus !!! A Beef/Curry/Spinach Patty/. The Customer Service tho is very genuine and kind these ladies are always pleasant Today I spoke to Mrs./Ms.Karen soo sweet. The last I visited I’m blind & vision impaired and they offered to help me out by coming from around the counter to help me exit to the car along with two gentleman customers safely. Today I got the Lunch Special which ends at 2:30 pm everyday Mon-Fri, I tried the half brown stew half curry!! My 1st time doing the brown stew instead of jerk and I found My Go-To!! it’s seasoned heavy!!(as every meat is) but the way it’s stewed!! I licked my fingers and sucked all bone gristles! The stewed gravy/marinade is Loooooove!!.. when it’s on the rice heavenly!!! The container is Pack it In compact!!! Filled to the Rim!!.. it’s enough for 2 people or 2 days!! but the portions and the price is gladly pay!!!… Overall if you’re looking for excellent genuine customer service, consistent/grade a quality island food come here!!! You will NOT be disappointed at all at all.!!

Go here. Just go here.
I ordered the jerk chicken sandwich and lunch special platter. Everything was phenomenal.
The only thing that caught me off guard is the bones left in the jerk chicken sandwich. Made eating in the car impossible. I know that’s more of a me problem but there’s no indoor seating so youd hope they put more consideration in the takeout experience.
Nonetheless, I loved it.

I had their jerk almost 16yrs ago at my daughter’s school during the schools international night and it was so good. Had it once again 6 yrs ago just stopping by to grab a bite to eat and it was just ok. I stopped in there today because I just came back from Jamaica and wasn’t thoroughly satisfied with the jerk that I ate while there and was still craving it. I was praying that I wouldn’t be let down and when I say the Jamaican Gods were with me…I was almost shouting and dancing in my house! Food was very authentic Jamaican and it was so good and so much I couldn’t eat it all. I’m actually now mad because it’s located 5 min from my house. It’s about to be summer and I don’t need a big back

I arrived around 4:35pm on Saturday, December 20th to a short line of customers waiting to be served. I waited about 7 minutes to before reaching the cashier. I ordered online. Expected ready time was 4:29. After speaking with the cashier I was told give us a few minutes it’s coming up. I must have waited about another 3 minutes before receiving my order. The music was amazing and helped to enjoy the wait. The food was delicious. I ordered large dark meat chicken.

The food was fantastic! I indulged in the vegan jerk chicken with peas, rice, and cabbage. The chicken was so well-marinated and had a delightful crust that it could have easily fooled me into thinking it was regular chicken. The rice was soft and flavorful, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I highly recommend this dish and will definitely be back. Perhaps I’ll order 30 minutes ahead to cut down the wait time.

Just Jerk is One of THE MOST AUTHENTIC Restaurants that have AMAZING quality ingredients, FRESH food always. Signature taste! Nothing ever is off with JUST JERK. I’ve supported them for over 10 years. Other carribean/international Restaurants simply don’t compare & are not authentic. Once you experience it, you’ll be a forever customer.

Used to love coming to this spot for years. Came in on again on a Friday night—super excited to try some of the “newer” offerings on the menu, including the seafood. To my disappointment, appearantly you cannot get anything outside from jerk and curry chicken options (there was one more option) once they turn off the grill at a specific time. It seems downright lazy to only offer up three menu choices— especially on a Friday night. Will not be coming back

If you like jerk chicken this place is for you. The food is always good and cooked to order. The flavor is excellent and not to spicy for my kids to enjoy. The sides are all excellent and authentic. The staff is friendly and very personable. If your in the area just follow your nose, honestly that is how I found this hidden jem. Order more than you can eat because it’s so tasty your going to want leftovers.

I’ve been eating here for years! The food is consistently delicious. The beautiful ladies and their lovely accents are always friendly. You order for carryout, not a dine-in establishment.
