“This is my second time here I had such a great experience. I brought my cousin to try this new place out. We love the food. Everything has a very unique taste. My personal favorite was coconut, rice and the pulled pork jerk combo”
“I went to jerk today and it was nothing short but amazing the food the service the environment was 10/10. I got the brisket and it was tender very tasty and the sauces were also incredible, Christian the cook was very helpful and super nice to us helped us get the dessert biscuits and there were amazing definitely coming back with my family”
“Late Lunch. Staff was absolutely friendly. Lots of food for the combo meal. Great taste overall.”
“I LOVE JERK JAMAICAN SO MUCH!!! I’ve tried many jerk places in the city and literally nothing beats this place!!! From the atmosphere, to the amazing rude girl sauce and tender jerk chicken, everything is genuinely top notch!!! Not to mention the hospitality here was super friendly and really stood out to me. Christian was beyond helpful and took his time to answer any questions we had about the menu. We ended up ordering a little bit of everything and was so impressed. They also have a bar which is nice for if you want to have a quick drink while you wait for your food. I highly recommend this place if you’re in the area and want some yummy food from another culture!!!”
“Absolutely loved this place such a vibe the food was AMAZING stuff was great shoutout to Christian for making sure my brother had an amazing 21st will be coming back very soon🥰”
“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! 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.”
“Amazing jerk chicken and a fun casual atmosphere. Great bar area with tvs, a real neighborhood 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!”
“Can’t be Jamaicans in there making this. I ordered jerk chicken and it’s baked, wet & juicy 🫤 jerk meat is dryer and darker if cooked properly. Man working tonight was also rude.”
“This food here is always delicious, high quality, and healthy. My favorite is the chicken sandwich with a side of plantains and coconut rice. The atmosphere for dining in is fantastic as well, with tables and a super cute bar seating area. I don't typically leave reviews, but I love this place so much that I had to!”
