Marvin is such a gentleman! He provided excellent service.. I tried the Peanut Punch, Sorrel and the Carrot Juice, all home made.. I must say is the best I’ve ever had. I ordered Oxtails, cabbage, rice and beans, Mac and cheese with plantains.. My soul jumped when I tasted it.. the best.. I most definitely will come back! Jerk Pit can have my money any day!!!

This was our first time stopping by. Their jerk chicken was some of the best I have ever tried. It was moist and full of flavor. It came with rice and peas and cabbage. Those were good as well.

The food here is so good I had to come back a second time! The flavors are rich, authentic, and full of that true Caribbean warmth. The staff are friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere makes you feel right at home. Definitely one of the best Caribbean spots around!
