The food is fresh and very tasty. I ordered the brown stew chicken with plenty of gravy on my rice and peas . I definitely will try other dishes

I saw someone eating a plate from this restaurant and I had to have some! The food smelled so delicious. I ordered two oxtail plates and they did NOT disappoint. It was amazing!!!! I’m so happy I found this spot. I wish it was closer to where I live, I was traveling and heard about it. 10/10 for sure. They give you more than enough food & extra gravy!
Got the curry goat. All bone no meat. And a gaunt pile of rice. For 20$. Food taste good. But how bout some meat

A little disappointed with the lunch meal I ordered. Curry chicken roti did not have any flavor and seemed like the filling was not enough for roti. There were more bones than chicken and the roti skin was also bland. I also ordered a spicy beef patty which didn’t taste fresh, the crust wasn’t flaky.
Between those two things I spent $25 which for lunch felt like a little much and it didn’t include any drinks.

I loved the great food as well as the friendly atmosphere and people. The interior of this restaurant is well appointed and tasteful. My son and a friend were the first people to bring me to the Jerk Center. They wanted to surprise me knowing my love for Caribbean cuisine. With my Honduran roots I felt right at home at this amazing restaurant. The food on the menu is authentic and delicious. I enjoyed the Escoveitch Fish with sides of Steamed Cabbage,Sweet Plantain and Corn. My next visit will be very soon. Along with my Escoveitch Fish and Sides, I will also have a dessert perhaps Cheesecake or Pineapple Upside Down Cake, which Hondurans love. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone who loves authentic Caribbean Island food!

I feel bad giving a local spot a low review but I happily paid $100 for food and none of it was worth it. The rice & peas seemed old & reheated- they were very dry and the peas crumbled apart. The oxtail was very sweet, maybe it’s someone thing but definitely not what I was expecting. The roti was $5 ea. and the size was good but it was really hard and definitely too much flour. The corn bread tasted like dry vanilla/coconut cake. The patties were ok but I could’ve gotten the same quality some a grocery store. The curry was good once I could reach it through the half inch of oil in the bowl. I never even got my plantain and my guess is that would’ve been the only thing worth the price. The steamed cabbage was definitely my favorite part of the food. Growing up on these foods I feel like maybe they’re catering to a demographic with a more sensitive palate but it wasn’t doing it for me…

Very skimpy on the oxtails and gravy. Even if I order a pound, it's the same amount as if get in a regular meal. Swindle!! Other than that, the food is great. The beef patties are good but very flaky so be prepared to make a mess!

The Jerk Center never disappoints. They have one of the best Jerk chickens in Tampa, and their patties are amazing!

I loved Caribbean food ?
If they had a half a star or a quarter star, I would probably give it a quarter star. This was the worst Jamaican food I have ever eaten and I’m Jamaican bought a plate of brown chicken and another plate of curry chicken both dinner plates and unfortunately, my money was wasted because, not only did they short step on the preparation process not using enough browning for the Browns to curry for the curry, but they served old rice and peas that was sour for the amount of money that they are charging they should have had fresh food, regardless of the time or situation bad customer service food was not good actually gave me the runs. I’m writing this from the toilet.
