Jerk. Jamaican Barbecue — a caribbean spot in Fulton Market. Order the Chicken Thighs. The flavors are genuine, nothing diluted. "The chicken thighs were tender and fairly seasoned" — Samir Katta

“This is by far the best jerk spot I've been to in the city, looking forward to coming back here for lunch”
Terrible service, food sucked, rice was very dry and macaroni is premade trash taste like KFC but much worse.
Where do I start. Me and my husband ate from here once before and loved it.

“Really glad to have found this spot.”
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.

“OMG we’re telling everyone we know about this place.”
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.

“I have to say, especially with all the construction it’s unfortunate this spot is a hidden gem.”
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!

“Ordered this out for delivery and was pleasantly surprised by the food.”
Ordered this out for delivery and was pleasantly surprised by the food. The rice was great and the corn salad was refreshing. Tried it with their pepper sauce and it was pretty yummy. Definitely will try this place in person. Ample portions here - can make this one meal into two if you want and they give a sweet bread with the meal as well. Honestly their Mac and cheese and plantains are so good I could eat just that by itself. The chicken with their sauce is also really amazing!

“First time trying this restaurant.”
First time trying this restaurant. I got the jerk chicken combo with Mac & sweet plantains. The festival was delicious. The Mac was creamy & yummy. The sweet plantains were cooked to perfection. The jerk comes on a bed of coconut rice that was good. The jerk chicken was a lil spicy & I was honestly expecting more of a charcoal flavor. I did appreciate that it was boneless. Overall good experience

Today Was My First Time Trying This Restaurant I Was Skeptical Due To The Location But I Have No Regrets. Chicken Thighs Were Tender, Plantains Were Good, Macaroni Could’ve Been A Bit More Al Dente & Cheesy But Not Bad At All. The Gentleman Who Took My Order Was Very Helpful With Suggestions & Was Nice To Talk To While My Food Was Being Prepared. Will Definitely Be Returning For The Brisket :)

I ordered from Uber eats so I was a little worried because I had never actually been to the restaurant, but I must say the jerk brisket exceeded my expectations. The baked beans are seasoned with a keen touch and the rice and peas is authentic, I can taste the coconut in the rice. Very pleasurable experience and will for sure be ordering again.

“Excellent food and excellent service.”
Excellent food and excellent service. It was my first time there and the employee taking our orders helped us out with some questions we had, including some suggestions. Food was out to us in less than 5 min, and everything we got was fantastic. All of the flavors in the seasoning and sauces were bold and unique. We will definitely be back. This place is a must try spot for bbq lovers.

“If you're looking for jerk, this is the place to go.”
If you're looking for jerk, this is the place to go. Let me start by saying it can be intimidating due to it's location, but fear not, they have free parking across the street, you just have to go in through Peoria St. Now for the details, the staff is friendly and amazing, the food is on another level. The flavors are indescribable, it's something you have to taste to believe. I had an order of pulled pork sandwich, wings, jerk fries, and a few other things, all were beyond delicious. The pulled pork was juicy, soft, and fell apart with how tender it was. The seasoning on the wings and fries were out of this world. I can't wait to make another trip and try some more of their items on the menu.

“Ordered delivery from here.”
Ordered delivery from here. Got the combo with the jerk chicken, rice, and 2 sides. Substantial and filling portions. Meat was tender, not dry. Great jerk seasoning. Beware the hot sauce, if you get it, is actually hot and will make you sweat and drink milk. I say this as a hot sauce fan. Got an extra a la carte side of chicken too - lot of food.
