“ Got oxtails, curry chicken, jerk chicken. All was good. Gonna have it catered for my hubby birthday ”
“ There were 10 people on my last order and everyone was extremely satisfied. The oxtails were the star of the evening. ”
“ My new favorite jerk spot!! We called ahead to place an order and when we arrived, the cashier opened the containers of each meal so that we could verify it was correct before we left, I wish every restaurant did this. The food was so good, the spicy jerk sauce is the best I've had, and the Mac & cheese surprised me because it was actually jerk-flavored but it grew on me and I ended up loving it. This is for sure my new go-to place for jerk. ”
“ Amazing food and service! The ambiance of the restaurant gives you Caribbean vibes. YOU HAVE TO COME CHECK IT OUT YOURSELF!! ”
“ The jerk chicken salad is good!! A coworker brought it to me and recommended I have the ranch dressing on the salad. I mixed it with a little of the jerk sauce and it was a hit! ”
“ This is a culmination of my three visits thus far. In short, issa hit! The oboe detractor is in consistency of the finished product. The chicken went from amazing my first visit to dry on my second and a notch or two better my last visit this evening. Of all the sides, the Mac and cheese is a must. I believe it will rival the best Mac and cheese you previously had. ”
“ This was my first time coming here and I was not disappointed. The food was freshly cooked and tasty. I was surprised to have great tasting food and some good customer service. Tiffany was friendly and super cool. Thanks Girl for helping us choose our meal selection. The mac and cheese, cabbage and the jerk chicken was seasoned with perfection. Nothing but great tasting food and nice size lunch portion. ”
“ I've only been once, so consistency remains to be seen. That aside Just Jerk Cafe is a very solid 4 star jerk option. The catfish was tender and authentically spiced. The jerk dinners are served with a protein, rice n' peas and two additional sides. Most jerk restaurants in the area only come with two sides. I was stuffed, lol. If you're in the area I suggest giving them a try. Time will tell if they're more consistent than the everso unpredictable Uncle Joe's and Jerk Villa. ”
