Jamaican Jerk King restaurant
Jamaican Jerk King stands out for tender, flavorful jerk chicken, generous vegetable plates, and hearty sides like rice and beans, cabbage, greens, plantains, yams, and mac and cheese. Regulars praise the friendly owners, quick service, welcoming atmosphere, and portions big enough for families or a satisfying date-night meal. Reviews are mixed, however, with some guests reporting bland, cold, or inconsistent dishes.

“Food is amazing, pricing is fair, staff is very friendly, portions are very generous. 10/10. Hard to find places like this in the suburbs so I’ll be making a monthly trip.”
“I had the Jerk chicken with rice and it had a lot of flavor and tasted great. The owners are friendly and go above and beyond for customer service. I definitely will come back again 10/10!”
“Chicken is good and flavorful. Yams are decent but the Mac and Cheese is not good at all. Mac and Cheese needs a lot of work. Rice and beans dried out.”
“The food isHORRIBLE from the water down dow macaroni and cheese , to the old spoiled rice and beans , the cabbage was under cooked , the jerk tacos was running with sauce and a bunch of lettuce and tomatoes, with burnt taco shells. I wouldn’t serve this food to a dog they should be ashamed to serve any human this food. No passion for cooking whatsoever PLEASE DO NOT GO HERE”
“This Restaurant was absolutely horrible. It was my first time ordering from DoorDash from this restaurant. I was to have received mac & cheese, cabbage and dark meat chicken I only got chicken and this is how it look when I did call the store. The manager or whomever answered, was having other background conversations talking to his children, and also not even paying me any mind when I called the store back the line was busy. I am absolutely appalled and very upset with the service that I have received, and I pray that this store gets shut down”
“My first time going to this restaurant wanted to see if you know they had good food and apparently that’s a lie when you walk into the restaurant it’s a horrible environment. Employees are nonchalant. I ordered the mac & cheese. The cabbage and the oxtail with rice oxtails are unseasoned overcooked macaroni and cheese is bland. Just thick cheese and noodles. Cabbage is way undercooked thoroughly disappointing. I spent over $40 on this and some curry goat I wish I would’ve never went by and visit this restaurant if you read this Review, don’t go there find you somewhere else and save your money.”
“I was impressed the food was served quickly. Most Jamaican restaurants do not serve this fast. The owner was friendly. The food was surprisingly moist and NOT burnt.”
“Just got food with my girlfriend. DAMN. We will be back!”
“I got thanksgiving dinner from there. I got rice and beans, turkey,Mac n cheese and yams and let me tell you it was amazing. Me and my family really loved it would most definitely come here again.”
