I got the Curry Goat, Plantains and the Mac & Cheese. It was one of the, if not the best restaurants I have been to in recent memory. Serious stuff! 🙏

Very sizeable and flavorful options, got the jerk pork and chicken tacos. Both meats were very tender.. everything was on the slightly spicy side if that matters to you.

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.
