Ja' Grill Hyde Park - Chicago

Start with the rum punch and add the jerk chicken. the chicken will fall from the bone and the sauce on the side adds a ton more taste. the cabbage was tasteful and perhaps saltier when I needed, but it was good. the service was solid, as I just stepped in before closing.

Ja Grill in Hyde Park Ever since I watched the second season of Luke Cage on Netflix I wanted to try the Jamaican food. In that season a large part of the show takes place in a Jamaican restaurant and I was curious. On our way to MSI we hit this place up. The 1/2 Jerk chicken was delicious, the ribs was not over powering. I ordered it hot and it not burning to where you can’t enjoy it. It came with cabbage and rice and fried plantains. All sumptuous. The Jamaican old fashion was a delight as well highly recommended. The jerk shrimp was similar to the jerk chicken as it came with the similar, rice plantains and such. The shrimp were plentiful and is also a high recommended dish to get. Overall we will be back great food and service.

Amazing food and service, really enjoyed the vibe and the staff were really friendly. I’d recommend this to anyone passing through Chicago as I was!

I went to this restaurant on 7/22/2022. This restaurant has the perfect vibe and employees for any time of the day. I went for lunch and had the chicken curry with sweet tea. Entrées automatically come with sides that was awesome as well. It was really good and I enjoyed the man who was serving me. Definitely coming back!!

The jerk lamb is a MUST have. I ordered the appetizer. It was seasoned to perfection and cooked just right. I recommend medium. Tip: Get the jerk sauce on the side if you're unsure about your spice tolerance. The jerk chicken entrée (pictured) was amazing. And finally the rum cake (pictured) with a shot of rum for a little extra mmph! There are no words. Chef's kiss. I would definitely recommend. All around great experience. The service was excellent. The drinks... heavy pour. This place is a gem.
