My favorite place I ate at on the island. I got the jerk pork and jerk chicken with slaw and plantains. So flavorful!

Great jerk pork, festival and rice and peas. Get it to go and enjoy at home or your hotel. Some of the best Jamaican jerk I’ve had away from yard. One order of pork with sides fed 3 people with leftover rice. Great deal.

The food is okay in my opinion, but my husband wants to do take out from here all of the time. I had the Oxtails with rice and peas and festival (bread). The Oxtails had a nice flavor, but just too much fat and not enough meat and this plate costs like $48. Their rice and peas was good and their festival i enjoyed. The service was great! The young man that took our order was nice and patient. It took about 10-13 minutes for us to get our food. There is a bench table with 3 barstools for waiting or quick dining, but the place really only has enough space to get your food and go. Parking is a hit or miss. If you aren't from key west, just know, that parking is $6 per hour.

My happy place. I always feel like I’m at home at the jerk. Big up the jerk for consistently delivering amazing food and customer service. Always making me feel like I’m home away from home. Everything is amazing. Always happy and never disappointed. Highly recommended for the Jamaican flavor and taste. One love.

I usually have a rule to not eat at the same location twice while on vacation but I make an exception for fantastic Jamaican food. I had the jerk chicken on my first day in Key West and I came back on my last day and had the jerk pork and the ribs. Awesome food that I highly recommend.

Menu was bountiful and food was delicious! Portions were big, flavorful and tender jerk pork, good cabbage and great festivals. It is hard to find good Jamaican food outside of Jamaica but we would come here again for sure!

It was one of the best jerk chickens and plantains I had. Even their rice and beans paired well with everything. Generous portions too. It was out of this world. The staff was super inviting and helpful. Place is small but clean. Not made for big families but dont let that discourage you from eating there.

You can taste the love cooked into this food! At first we thought the prices may have been slightly inflated for festival week but after seeing the portions and tasting the quality; ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT!

The genuine kindness of the chef and I assume owner was delightful and while he promised the meal of pork and steamed cabbage my wife and I intended to share would be plenty, we were pleasantly impressed. The pork was perfectly cooked and seasoned, seemed like cut up pork bellies so expect some fat with the meat (wife doesn't love the fatty chunks but I enjoyed them just fine balanced nicely with the tender cabbage). We would absolutely enjoy this place again!

Recommend you take it outside and back to eat at the Cuban coffee place next door with a nice specialty coffee!
