My first time there. I don't like that tomato sauce on the rice. It's not spicy and the one piece of plantae is that dessert i will not return
This is the very 1st Jerk restaurant where EVERYTHING was good and fresh. I had oxtails, jerk chicken, cabbage, Mac and Cheese, yams, peas and rice, and plantain. My Ma had a full dark jerk chicken dinner as well. The Mac and cheese was seasoned to perfection and cheesy as ever (no egg; baked). The yams not overly sweet, jerk chicken just right. The cabbage is consistently good. Only disappointment was the size oxtail they give is small. (4 little pieces and 2 big. Thats everywhere...read full review

Jamaican Gates Restaurant Chicago offers flavorful and fresh Jamaican cuisine in the Washington Heights area. The restaurant, although small with no seating, provides friendly service. Customers recommend calling ahead to place orders to minimize wait times. Popular dishes include the jerk catfish dinner, oxtails dinner, and escovitch fish. The oxtail dinner, priced at $26, is praised for its taste, though some suggest adding more gravy. The meals come with sides like Mac & cheese, yams, red beans & rice, and plantain slices. Many customers appreciate that the food tastes the same and remains delicious each time, recalling the restaurant's history with an open kitchen and crockpots. The jerk chicken is highly recommended, with a thick, flavorful jerk sauce that is not watered down. The food consistently receives positive reviews, and the friendly service keeps customers coming back. While the ambiance is minimal, the authentic Jamaican food and great customer service make it a popular spot for fans of Caribbean cuisine.
