Not really authentic. The colors are there but no music or grill burning. Also how do you have jerk as your company name but don’t have jerk sauce togo along with jerk chicken or pork. Carrots aren’t peeled before cooked.

Cool little food truck in downtown Tampa. I gotz the 1/2 jerk chicken w/rice and beans with Jamaica cabbage(it was a good amount of food). It was really good. The chicken was cooked great but didn’t have any heat and not enough jerk flavor. The rice and beans were delicious and so was the cabbage, which I’d never had. It came w/a side of red sauce which was like a sweet+sour sauce. I recommend trying!

The only reason for the 4/5 stars is because I’m not an expert on Jamaican food but it was certainly delicious! Excellent location, very close to the courthouse therefore it was a quick walk and a 2 min wait for the food. Great price too, $10 for a 1/4 chicken meal. Not bad, will definitely make it back.

Was there an hour and and not once did they bring out fried chicken. On the way out the door they offered 2 pieces for the child who didn’t eat anything and charged us an adult price for a 10 year old child. The food was COLD. The waitress put her hands in my face. The entire experience was TERRIBLE. Save time go some where else.

Jerk Hut has been a Tampa favorite for as long as I can remember. I moved down here as a child and we have always gone to the establishment over on Fowler. This was a nice find after a long hair appointment and being extremely hungry. Food was freshly prepared as usual and quality taste. The sauce is always a must if you’re downtown in the area stop by and grab a quick bite. You won’t be disappointed

We love this place. Been going to the Gandy location for years before they moved here and relocated. The chicken meal with extra red sauce is delicious!

Okay, I hate to do this but I’m sure their may be others so I took off a star for false advertisement.

Authentic Jamaican food like you won’t find anywhere else. The food is served cafeteria style, where you pick your meat and sides. I had the oxtail, vegetable rice and plantains. The oxtail was fall off the bone tender and full of flavor. Overall the food was absolutely delicious, one of a kind with hefty portions. The service was not very good, the food is served in a styrofoam box with plastic forks, it is dark and gloomy inside. Don’t come to this place expecting to be waited on. Come expecting to eat authentic Jamaican food, cooked up by an old Jamaican woman who still does it the way her great grandmother taught her.
