I keep going back every time. I am Jamaican, so I know good food when I taste it — and some of these other places people think are good don't even come close. I’m telling you, THIS IS IT. The food is always fresh, well-cooked, properly seasoned, and the meat is always juicy and tender. The ripe plantain? I can’t get enough! The Rastaman at the front always makes me feel welcome — excellent customer service every time. While there isn’t anywhere to sit while you wait, the shop is clean and nicely decorated, giving real island vibes and making you feel right at home. Little Jamaican V JERK Cuisine is my favorite go-to Jamaican restaurant when I want to eat. Try everything on the menu — you won’t regret it! 🇯🇲 1 ❤️ Sunday Night is a vibe in the Backyard.”
