The Jerk Center Reviews
It was my first visit and ordered the brown chicken stew and sweet plantains. It was so delicious . I will definitely be coming back. My husband and uncle go all the time and love it . The staff is so friendly .
Fantastic food. Much better than from a restaurant in 🇯🇲 that my wife and I went to while on a cruise. The jerk wings are packed with amazing flavor, not too spicy, but definitely have a slight kick that adds to the overall taste. Will definitely recommend to all
Man I’m addicted to jerk burgers 😍😇🥰

The Jerk Center offers a no-frills dining experience with great Jamaican cuisine. The jerk chicken has an authentic flavor and is cooked to perfection with just the right amount of spices. The oxtails are highly praised, with the sauce so good that customers enjoy spooning it over rice even after the meat is gone. Diners have found the festivals incredible, and many have become fans of rice and peas after trying it here. The beef patties and coco bread are also popular choices, and the steamed cabbage tastes fresh. The restaurant is large enough to hold parties, especially on Saturday nights when it transforms into a lively dance hall. The decor and smells transport guests right back to the island. Service is quick and friendly, with the young staff providing outstanding customer care. Many visitors recommend the jerk pork takeout, describing it as amazing and suitable for finicky eaters. Overall, The Jerk Center is a favorite spot for authentic Jamaican food, with generous portions and a welcoming atmosphere, despite its old strip plaza location.
