“I have been here a total of 4 times and every time it is a hit ! I usually don’t do reviews but when something is good I definitely support I usually stop and get a donut at Dat Donut and then I walk down and grab some jerk, the location and atmosphere I would only stop during the daytime but as far as the food it is reasonably priced, the portions are large, the jerk chick is really good so is the rice and peas very soft and cabbage, the Mac and Cheese I will say is bland and it is a 3$ up charge lately they have not had any plantains which is a disappointment but I will say if you want some good authentic jerk food try Jerk it iz.“

Sides of red beans & rice and cabbage were on point, and the plantains added a sweet touch. Washed it down with a Jamaican soda, bringing the total to about $25. Portions were generous, and the flavors hit home. Definitely a solid spot for authentic jerk on the South Side.“

“I visited the bloohol today because I like oxtails and the reviews said the oxtails were good. Well just let me say this !! The owner let me take a peek at them before I left and they looked and smelled delicious. So I went to the car and took a bite SMH why did I do that I could not stop eating them !! They were very fresh, tender and flavorful. The rice they came with was a perfect compliment to the oxtails and tasted good too and I am not a rice person. I did not make it home with my dinner !! I had dinner in the car and licked every finger loudly and proudly. If you like oxtails do yourself a favor you got to try bloohol !!“

“The food was delicious!! I got jerk chicken that comes with beans and rice underneath. I got yams and mashed potatoes on the side, both yummy. I also got banana pudding for dessert. I haven’t tasted it yet but was bummed it wasn’t home made. I asked if it was homemade and was told yes, but I should’ve asked if it was made from scratch because that’s what I was looking for and it wasn’t.

The atmosphere was okay. They have counter top tables along the window/wall and high chairs so you can eat in if you like but no one did while I was there. It took a little while to get the food but definitely worth it. The customer service was really good, very nice ladies!“
