Had their food at a “pop up” in downtown Chicago and it was amazing! The Mac and cheese was creamy. Rice was flavorful and the jerk chicken excellent!!!

“I must say the oxtail were really really good and the rice me beans.”

I must say the oxtail were really really good and the rice me beans. Their service and care for their customers are top tier. I had a driver from Grubhub steal my order and the restaurant, not sure if it was the owner or not but whoever I spoke to over the phone, brought me my order since I was only 8 min away. He remade my order and bring it at closing. I really appreciated this beyond words because I’m pregnant and can’t keep much down. I love them for the food and service So caring and accommodating. 20/10

“first time there and the man working was very nice & talked me thru the menu.”

first time there and the man working was very nice & talked me thru the menu. i was in a bit of a hurry so he was kind of enough to suggest something he knew would be quick. the food is very affordable, portions are good, & tastes like comfort homemade food. The picture included I had already eaten quite a bit 😊

Made an order on Uber eats and the food was not good . I got oxtails with Mac and cheese, rice and beans, and sweet corn. The corn was ok but the Mac the oxtails and the rice were not good. I love oxtails I eat them all the time from different places but I could not even finish the rest of the food it had a weird taste to it that I can’t explain it was not good at all.

5 stars! If you're looking for real Jamaican food in Chicago, Jerk JA 48 is it! Coming from a Jamaican family and having tasted most of the menu, I can confidently say this spot is the real deal. The flavors are authentic, the portions are generous, and everything is made fresh—so yes, you might wait 15 minutes, but it's absolutely worth it. The owner is super friendly and welcoming, which adds to the great vibe. Whether it’s the jerk chicken, oxtail, or patties, everything is consistently delicious. Support this gem—you won’t regret it!

I was in desperate need for a pan of rice & peas for a large family event. I called a day ahead & the young man who answered the phone gave me a reasonable price & was very accommodating. My family TORE THAT RICE & PEAS UP!!! There wasn't a piece of rice left!!😃 I really appreciated the quick turnaround on my last minute order & the rice was perfect! Thanks again, Jami.
