I wish I could give this place 5 stars because the food is outstanding! There are plenty of vegan and vegetarian options available. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and kind. I highly recommend it! View all feedback.

What Kimone A dislikes about Jerk'd Caribbean Kitchen:
The jerk chicken wasn't grilled to perfection. The sauce was spicy but lacked body. When cooked in a barrel grill, there is a specific smokey flavor this chicken did not have, and the skin should be nice and rendered skin. The chicken was not cleaned The yellow skin on the heel of the chicken leg was left on, and the chicken wasn't browned enough, as I could see. I would not return, but the sour sop juice was nice.

Stopped here on a whim. I love Jamaican food and consider myself a pro @flavor and taste. I had oxtail with rice and peas plantains and cabbage. $30 is ridiculous for a single plate just because it has 3 sides that?s like two teaspoons each. On topof that nothing tasted Jamaican but it did taste like it could pass for Spanish food. It was ok but nothing to write home about.

The food was amazing. I was especially surprised by the kale it was the most delicious kale I've ever eaten. The jerk Chicken was perfect not dry the festival was delicious and I enjoyed everything that I ate I ordered so much food and desserts and itwas worth every penny. I would come back again.

This is a cute little Jamaican spot. The decor was great. After passing the decor I was met with two friendly employees. I told the gentlemen that I was a vegan and that prompt him to get everything they offer that's vegan so I can try for free. I appreciated this. May I say everything he gave me tasted delicious! When I finished eating he brought samples of each juice they offer. My mother in law is not a vegan and he did the same for her but offered her non vegan food. I will be going again. Give them a try!
