I’ve always heard about this establishment but never visited until yesterday even though I had been looking for a great Caribbean spot. I have been so disappointed by other Caribbean restaurants that I just figured all jerk spots in Chicago were pretty much trash nowadays until I walked into this hidden gem. I ordered a half white with rice and peas and stewed chicken with macaroni and cheese. The stewed chicken was tasty, but the jerk chicken was OUTSTANDING and definitely had that flavor that I had been searching for. I wasn’t a fan of the rice and peas, the macaroni and cheese was different but tasty, and something I would try again. Thank you Garifuna for bringing Quality, Authentic, Caribbean flavor to the Southside of Chicago. I will definitely be returning.

My favorite Jerk. I am so glad they are back. Not only are they tasty but they are healthy on my weight loss journey. I order my chicken by the pan and cook my greens to accompany my tasty chicken and the weight falls off ❤️. I also catered for the holidays.

I was in town for a few days and I wanted some good Caribbean food. Saw this restaurant had hundreds of good reviews so I ordered delivery but end up extremely disappointed. The jerk chicken I received was completely undercooked, actually raw in the middle.

Because it was delivery, it was even more frustrating to discover once it arrived. For the price and the reputation, I expected much better.
I hope they improve their cooking standards but even so, I won’t be ordering again.

Hey I was sooooo excited that you guys were back open.Especially as I haven't had your food in years.. and all my favorite influencers were hyping the comeback up. I got the Panadas.. which were insane! But my best of both worlds dinner was disappointing..The flavor was there but my food was old, Rice old and mushy, jerk chicken old, and stewed chicken old and dry..Stewed chicken CANT BE DRY! My delivery came fast so I don't think it sat I spent 60 bucks because I was that excited.. I'm glad at least the panadas were fresh.. not sure I'll try again even though I can see slightly what folks talking about but to serve old food was a bit much for me after spending 60 bucks

Been living in this area my whole childhood and never step foot in this establishment & I regret it omg the Flavors are so amazing chicken so tender. To My surprise ordering 30 min before closing and food still tastes like it was just cooked still hot. Needless to say, I will become a regular 🫶🏾🤤
