The Hummingbird Jerk House offers authentic Jamaican cuisine, featuring freshly made beef patties with flaky crust and flavorful jerk chicken. The menu includes a variety of dishes, such as curry-based and jerk options with generous portions. Customers have praised the brown stewed chicken for being hot and juicy, even after a long drive. The oxtail is described as so tender and flavorful that it falls off the bone. The brown stew chicken is perfectly spiced without being too sweet, and the rice is appreciated for its taste, often not needing any sauce. The restaurant serves refreshing sorrow, and many visitors recommend trying the curry goat next. The friendly service and welcoming atmosphere make it a favorite spot for many, with great music for all ages and attentive staff. The owner greets guests with a big smile and checks in on them, adding to its family-friendly vibe. Some sides, like cabbage, are noted for being good and not soggy or greasy. Visitors frequently comment that it is the best Jamaican food in town and plan to return multiple times when in Tampa, Florida. The overall experience remains highly positive, with generous portion sizes and a pleasant surprise in a city where many restaurants have been hit-or-miss lately.
