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. 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 a humble owner’s son providing outstanding customer care. Many visitors recommend the jerk pork take out, 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.
