I drove all the way Out West to my Homie Repast next door to this Jerk Spot. I said I’ll give them a Try. WORSE decision ever! I was Hungry for some Jerk Food. Should’ve known not to eat out West but I said I’ll give it a Try. I asked for the Jerk Salmon Alfredo. This what they gave me and it had Spinach in it & the Salmon wasn’t fully cooked. This is the worse Jerk Spot I have ever been to out here. I spent $40 for it and I bought two Calypso drinks & the two Drinks was the only thing I kept. I left cause they have a no refund policy. I left to drive back over east to grab some Harold’s Chicken and that did the job. Look at the videos , I give this food a 0 Stars if I could! It ain’t worth it.

I regretted doing this review just because of the great customer service and hospitality by all of the staff when I came to this establishment this Saturday. But I have to say I was so disappointed in the food. I got the whole chicken dinner that came with 3 large sides and it was under $40 which was an amazing price for all the food that gave. I must admit the portions were so big. I thought leaving out I came up on a great deal. The sides to me were like an extra large it was so much. Well until I got home and tasted the food. So disappointed I have to admit. Everything I mean Everything was so bland. The sides I got was red beans and rice which was unclear Ben's from the box mixture. Cabbage which was so under seasoned and their rasta pasta which was very bland as well. As for the jerk chicken it definitely was not off the grill and was definitely baked in the oven. I didn't really taste that authentic jerk off the grill flavor at all. I should have known because I didn't smell that grill smoke when I entered as you do most jerk restaurants. Then the jerk sauce was very watery but flavor was not that bad but I hate watery jerk sauce. I will definitely not ever be going back. I literally still have so much food left and everyone that taste it refuse to eat it. I can't even give it away. I literally only gave 2 stars because of the great customer service I received. Otherwise I would give no stars.
A few times in the past that I have patronized this place: The food was good. I have only had the chicken tips, chicken wings, Rasta pasta, cabbage and the red beans and rice with gravy. The service is great. However, today I had 1 jerk and 1 chicken egg rolls. I did not know that they put cheese in the egg rolls . The shrimp or the chicken in each one did NOT have the same great jerk taste that the chicken tips and chicken has. The shrimp has a weird oil lik taste, The cheese on bot h egg rolls made it worse. From now on, I will stick with the chicken wings. Even the chicken tips did NOT taste the same,, but the service was great

As with Blackeb 2001, I also hated to do this review, but please save your $$$. I ordered the jerk chicken phily and it was not at all as advertised - it was in a tiny roll and covered in lettuce. I also ordered the spring rolls, and it seemed like they were just getting rid of leftovers....not a taste of jerk in anything, just burnt!

They were Closed and hours listed said open.
So disappointed, I hated to do this review, but this needed to be said and hopefully it can save people some money. I ordered the chicken jerk Fried Rice. It was so mushy and unflavorful and not even fried. These pictures that I attached is showing how it looked which is better than how it tasted. Not happy especially since this was expensive, waited 20 minutes for the egg rolls which were good and my husband had 1/4 chicken which he said it was ok. I will not be returning due to the price and the fried rice.

These dudes put me in my grandmother‘s kitchen. I had to fight to not pull over and dig in to those chicken chips. I got home popped the lid, the sautéed spinach and the candy yams were on point and Taste perfection. The Jamaican dough is just a simple, sweet white bread that soaps up the juices of all the good stuff. Red beans and rice… I’m ready to go back down there now.. I had the half jerk chicken. My girl had the jerk shrimp dinner and the mac & cheese. This was definitely a rare find. I hope they get paid, but I hope it doesn’t catch you one too bad I’m not trying to wait in line once everybody finds out how good this food is.

The jerk chicken egg rolls were delicious and huge almost like a junior burrito very tasty and the atmosphere very inviting will be dining in very soon
Delicious food and great service. Everyone was so nice and the food was fantastic. Everything came out super fresh and HOT. Jerk chicken and chicken tips were amazing and sides were also very very good. We will be back to try other things, especially the oxtails!
