Both the service and the food were outstanding! The Jerk Chicken Sandwich was definitely worth the price and quite satisfying. It had a wonderful combination of cheese paired with a tender, flavorful piece of chicken, all heightened by delicious spices. The atmosphere is fantastic as well, with vibrant Caribbean decor and flags. I would happily return and recommend this restaurant to others.

I had my first meal here and it was fantastic! The sandwiches were delicious, and the Caribbean nachos came in generous portions. I will definitely visit again!

I tried three different flavors: mango habanero, sweet chili, and bombast, and they were all incredible! I also took home a jerk rib bowl, which was fantastic, although it was supposed to come with plantains. Overall, the customer service was excellent, and the food was delicious! If you’re looking for flavorful jerk chicken, I highly recommend this place! The prices were reasonable as well. I’ll definitely be back!

The Jerk Joint never disappoints. Doobies are a must have. Do yourself a favor and buy an extra jar of sauce while you’re at it. The rum pork is the best! Everything on the menu is great, you can’t go wrong. Kitchen and dining area is spotless. We are very fortunate to have them in the area and I’m glad to see the amazing comeback after the fire. I will be back again and again!

I love everything about this place. The food is amazing and the staff/owners are the kindest people in the world. My son and I drove a little more than an hour to try the food here and it did not disappoint. The entire experience was fantastic. If you go, you have to try the Drunken Pig. You won't regret it.
