“I ordered the seafood mix dinner with a side of cabbage and mac and cheese. I chose shrimp and salmon, and the food was delicious—full of flavor, with rice served underneath the fish. It was definitely worth the price and the wait. My only small issue was that when I called for a pickup order, no one answered after three attempts, and the last call went straight to voicemail. As a result I had to use Uber Eats. Also, it doesn’t really seem like a dine-in option is available.”
“oxtails with double yams.. my go-to everytime!!! nobody compares to jg's”
“Food was delicious. Decent portions. I will get food from here again.”
“Traveling for work and visiting my son & wanted some jerk food. I saw the lunch special on Grubhub and ordered it with an extra side of jerk sauce. This might be hands-down, the absolute best and spiciest (with heat and flavor) sauce I’ve ever had in my entire life, and I’ve been to Jamaica twice! If the food is this good through a delivery service, I can’t even imagine in person. Will definitely return every time I’m in Chicago! Keep up the excellent quality.”
“First time here and the food was great! Everything was fresh, delicious, and the portions were large. My mom mentioned that the tilapia was a little too salty, but overall we really enjoyed our meal. I also ordered the oxtails (not pictured), and they were great. We’ll definitely be back!”
“I have came here twice in a row this week. I love this place food was sooooooo good omg. I had oxtails yesterday with mac and cheese and sweet potatoes and today chicken tips and mac and cheese and cabbage. When I tell you the bomb run do not walk. The customer service awesome no attitude or rudeness”
“1st time having it and I can say it's the best jerk place I had so far well worth it and u dnt evn need the jerk sauce my nose running without it 😭 definitely my go to now for jerk”
“Egg rolls were kinda meh!!!! BUT BUT that pasta the lamb and ox tails even the side were AMAZING flavor seasoning the lamb had an amazing hint of spice ( heat) and grill flavor the pasta creamy flavorful everything was there and I also got me a Michelle tea gotta give it a 9 outta 10... shall return for the rib tips”
“8 wing dinner was delicious. Fries and mac and cheese were alright. Oxtail dinner was also delicious but a little sweeter than I preferred. Same for the yams. Really liked the cabbage side. A bit pricey but wouldn’t mind coming back for more. Unpleasant slight marajuana odor but maybe that adds to the authenticity? Lol”
“I was craving some Caribbean food so when Uber eats suggested this I figured I'd give it a shot. I ordered the rib tip dinner with cabbage and rice and peas along with a four-piece jerk wing. My wait wasn't very long although it was longer then the wait estimated through Uber. The cashier was very nice and another lady whom I believe was either the manager or owner came out and was also very pleasant. When I finally made it home and opened my food I was very pleased with the visuals. To start, my rib tips were lukewarm and although I did carry out today, my trip home wasn't more than 5 minutes and I keep a warm bag in my car because I used to deliver food. Not only were my tips lukewarm they are also extremely tough. The cabbage was very tasty and had a really good flavor. The rice and peas lack the flavor that I would be looking for when choosing Caribbean food however it made for the perfect vessel to mix with the cabbage and a bit of jerk sauce. Finally, we arrived to the best part of my meal: the chicken wings. They were tender and flavorful both with and without the extra jerk sauce. Just the wings alone are enough for me to order again. Overall, my experience was good. I would recommend to check this place out if you're local and in the mood for some tasty food. 8/10. Great Job!”
“I was so excited to try this place, they were all out of everything besides seafood and wings. My boyfriend tried wings and all of his wings looked like this.”
