Stopped in for the 1st time for their Wednesday $1 jerk wings and let me tell you they did not disappoint. Just the right level of heat, 🔥 NICE AND HOT! Meat fell off the bone. Just delicious I can't believe it took me as long as it did to try.

Imagine spending almost $30 bucks for 6 wings. Then imagine spending $50 for oxtails? If they are successful charging those prices good for them. I don't even pretend I would do that. Its just throwing money away. I'd rather drive to Los Angeles or Sherman Oaks for quality affordable Jamaican food. They think we cannot cook the food and don't know the cost to do so. Suggestion for the owners. If and when you to have to overcharge your customers for any reason. The food quantity and quality must reflect the higher price and if not. You may as well close your doors. In this economy its extremely insulting to witness. The more people you insult the less money you make. I'll pass on this pricey establishment.

Might've had a bad batch that day but the curry chicken was sooooo dry. The rice helped swallow the wings, felt as if it was kept warm in the cooker for too long. Ox Tails on the other hand we amazing! Huge portion, fresh and tender. Next time I try this spot again I will update.
Service was good, no complaints with the younger man who helped us that day.

100% delicious. I had the jerk wings. Just the right amount of heat. So tender. The rice with the sauce was so good. My husband had his favorite, oxtails. Generous portion. Sorrel to drink and sweet potato pie for dessert. Amazing! This place will be on our restaurant rotation ❤️

Amazing Ox Tail Platter!!!! The favors just dance in your mouth. It's not too spicy but perfectly seasoned.

The night we went, they had a live dj, and we danced after eating.

The owner's mom joined everyone to dance, and everyone had an amazing time. Live eating here.

Family owned, and you can tell its all homemade with traditional cooking from the island. 💯 island favors.

They do have the vegetarian patty as well as the meat patty. - super delicious.

Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of space between tables in the dining area.

Food was great. Service was awesome. I was asked if I'd been there before and welcomed to the restaurant. All questions were answered with a smile. Food was great. Well certainly be back.

Jerk Wings Café is hands down one of the best spots for Jamaican food. The wings are absolutely delicious and so tender and the ox tail just falls off the bone.

The staff is always so kind and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. And the environment, good vibes! It’s such a pleasant and inviting space to enjoy a meal.

I always have a great experience every time. Can’t wait to come back!

I’m a regular and every time I go the prices change. $20 to $35 to $40 a plate. Ugh I wish it was set price and sadly with this inflation, I have to pass up

Love the huge, lean and delicious wings. Not painfully spicy either, though they still have plenty of kick. I will be back for the oxtail mac and cheese. The owner seemed like a really cool guy too, makes me want to spread the word about this very unique spot.

I wanted to like this so much I stepped in and heard nice reggae music. I liked the vibe and that gave me a little hope. That hope was soon as cooked as the meal. The mac and cheese was *extremely* overcooked. It was one giant mass. It was at least edible.

The chicken tasted so old I couldn't finish it. I hope that experience was an anomaly but I won't be taking that chance anymore.

My boyfriend and I came here and ordered the mac & cheese oxtails, the jerk chicken entree, a beef patty, the sweet potato pie and some drinks. We paid $75!!
1st, we’re happy to pay if the quality of food and the service we were given matches what we paid for. The mac and cheese seemed like it had been sitting forever and turned into a mashed potatoes consistency with tons of cheese and bits of oxtail. There were no individualized pieces of mac and cheese, it was just mashed all together, Mac and cheese mush. I could barely tell if there were pieces of mac and cheese. The jerk chicken platter was halfway inedible. The chicken was dry, had no flavor. It was like the chicken was made and they sprinkled jerk chicken seasoning on top. The rice and beans were inedible. The beef patty tasted like something you could’ve gotten at the dollar tree. You wouldn’t be able to tell the difference if you tasted their beef patty and one from the grocery store. The texture was like eating a beef puree, and no visible beef inside at all, not worth $8 for just ONE BEEF PATTY. The only nice thing I could say is that the sweet potato pie was good, but definitely not worth $9. I would go elsewhere before paying for that tiny thing. It wasn’t like I would go crazy to buy it but probably the best thing that we ordered. I would NOT pay for this sub par food again. And the server wasn’t even happy to serve us. The food came out in like 3 minutes, so it’s not like it was being prepared in the back. It’s almost like they have it on warmers and bring it out like a fast food instead of a restaurant type of service. I will not be going back.
