Have been craving some Caribbean food - asides from Cuban that is all over the island. Found this gem today and was very impressed! The food was flavorful - I had the jerk chicken, festival, and pasta salad. Portion was generous and the owner threw in an extra goodie for me, which was a welcomed surprise. Would definitely recommend anyone visiting to come check it out!
My happy place. I always feel like I’m at home at the jerk. Big up the jerk for consistently delivering amazing food and customer service. Always making me feel like I’m home away from home. Everything is amazing. Always happy and never disappointed. Highly recommended for the Jamaican flavor and taste. One love.
It was one of the best jerk chickens and plantains I had. Even their rice and beans paired well with everything. Generous portions too. It was out of this world. The staff was super inviting and helpful. Place is small but clean. Not made for big families but dont let that discourage you from eating there.
