Just traveled back from India and I wanted to eat something with Rice but not Indian Cuisine, and came across Jerk’D and they did not disappoint. Everything we got looked fresh and tasted GREAT. We tried Chicken and Goat, and both were cooked to perfection. Fresh juices were refreshing.

Stew Chicken – didn’t like, would not get again. Have had better in all other spots I’ve been to.

Horrible experience.. Walked in, was not greeted. They refused to mix chicken been though I said just charge me extra. Asked for a cup to give water to my dog and they charged me $1- wow! You charge $4.50 for a 20oz water but can’t give a complimentary cup. The staff mumbles under their breath. My first time here they should understand I don’t know the menu. Kindness goes along way. On top of that I was over charged for a salad. $14.95 + $8.95 upgrade. Jerk chicken was dry. Collards way too salty. The only thing I could say is the fish sandwich was good & place was clean. Will not return..

I’ve been coming here for years and have enjoyed the food. I tend to be indecisive and my server today, Mikale, was outstanding! He was patient with me, explained all the menu items, and gave me some recommendations. He was very kind and answered my many questions. I would like to thank him and give him 5 stars!

Great food all the time. Great seasoning. Great choices. Great service. I got the brown stew chicken. My lady got the oxtail pasta(woowsers). They were both extraordinary. Also got the bread pudding which is a must every time. Can’t say enough about the food always great

I live within a two-minute walk of this modern yet traditional restaurant. The food is exotic, tasty, and presentable. Never mind that I love the oxtail, prepared to arouse the taste buds; the stew goat meat – that represents that true tradition of Jamaican cuisine, and the well-done jerk chicken to the admiration and indulgence of a chicken-loving person. With well-trained and welcoming staff like Mr. Mirkale – I asked for his name without revealing my intentions of writing a review – I see myself making this place a once-a-week stop for me. The servings are adequate, with pricing not denting the wallet too deep. As a disclaimer, I did mention to the staff that I love their food, the service, the presentation, and the centrality of their restaurant.

Someone recommended this restaurant to me and I wanted to check it out. I called in my order of the curry chicken with rice and peas, cabbage, and pickled banana. When I arrived I parked nearby. I walked into this cute restaurant. I told the lady my name and she had my food ready. I paid and left. When I dug in, it was very good. The chicken was savory and very well flavored. The food was very filling. It was affordable and I really enjoyed it.

Love this spot. My husband and I regularly order from here because we know we won’t be disappointed. The food here is so good and reliable. We love the soup, salmon, curry chicken, and sides. Our family loves the Mac n cheese too.

I was definitely disappointed coming here. I was looking for some authentic Jamaican food, and this was not it at all. The food tasted fresh, was not authentic Jamaican food. Tasted like an American made oxtail, the flavors weren’t there.
