Was Candida Jast at Jerk a mag?
As a Jamaican student, I give this restaurant a 10/10! My favorite dish was the jerk fries - they were incredibly flavorful with the perfect balance of sweetness and heartiness. I even went back for seconds! The jerk chicken and chicken wings were also perfectly seasoned. The yuca fritters and shark mac and cheese were to die for. The space was very clean and the staff was friendly and welcoming. Our food arrived qui... View all feedback.

Had been wanting jerk chicken and this was some of the best I've had! I wish they had cabbage on the menu, but everything was really great. And the vibe and staff are both really nice too View all feedback.

I've been a loyal customer of Jerk Modern Jamaican Grill for over 7 years, and I felt it's high time I shared my thoughts on this gem of a restaurant. From the early days of overcoming growing pains to becoming a consistently outstanding eatery, Jerk Modern Jamaican Grill has never failed to impress. I vividly remember their opening days when they faced challenges with shortages, but those were merely growing pains. Since then, not once have I received a bad order or encountered the dreaded cold food syndrome. Whether through a delivery service or an occasional in-person pick-up for their Beef Patties, my experiences have been nothing short of excellent. My most recent order through Door Dash was, as always, a delight. The food arrived warm, and the order was spot on. Speaking of Beef Patties, let me tell you, these are the real deal! Forget imitations; Jerk Modern Jamaican Grill boasts the ORIGINAL GOLDEN CRUST. Don't let other places deceive you; this spot has the authentic Golden Crust Beef Patties that will redefine your expectations. My latest order, I couldn't resist trying the dry-run Jerk wings with a side of Rude Gyal and Cilantro Aioli Sauce. The wings were perfection personified — impeccably rubbed, juicy, and downright delicious. The seasoning was on point, and they didn't skimp on flavor. As a longtime fan of their Jerk offerings, I'm grateful that they consistently deliver on the promise of authentic Jamaican flavors. And let's not forget the beverages; a bottle of Ting and two cans of Sprite were the perfect companions to my meal, elevating the entire experience. While I'm already a die-hard fan, I can't help but think that adding oxtail to their menu would be a game-changer. If Jerk Modern Jamaican Grill ever decides to make that addition, consider me a permanent resident! In conclusion, don't be foolish — give this place a try, and you'll undoubtedly thank me later. Jerk Modern Jamaican Grill has not only stood the test of time but has consistently delivered an exceptional dining experience. Here's to another seven years (and more) of culinary bliss!
