We are at City of Hope for chemotherapy and the cafeteria doesn’t have many options on the weekend and my husband was craving jerk chicken… he loved his lunch so much we ordered it again for dinner!
First time trying Jamaican food! I’m Mexican so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Sean and Sharon really hooked me and my friend up! Really nice people. Made us feel at home 🙏🏼 We got 3 Jerk Chicken tacos with everything and let me just say that they were amazing 🔥 definitely a hidden gem in downtown Waukegan high recommend 👌🏼🇯🇲
AMAZING food and great customer service. As a fellow Jamaican I 100% authenticate this restaurant! The Mac and cheese, yams, ox-tails, EVERYTHING!! 10/10

Mama Jerk N Tings offers flavorful Caribbean-inspired dishes that feel like home. Customers can enjoy their jerk chicken dinner with cabbage and Mac and cheese, or try their jerk Rasta pasta, all skillfully prepared by the chef. The menu also features oxtails, curry goat, and other tasty options. Recent reviews highlight the friendly staff, with Sean and Sharon making guests feel welcome, and praise for their jerk chicken tacos, which are described as amazing and a hidden gem in downtown Waukegan. The oxtails are tender and well-seasoned, with some customers adding hot sauce to enhance the flavor. The yams are soft and delicious, not overly sugary. The atmosphere is simple, with plastic-wrapped tables, and service can be busy, leading to longer wait times, but the food consistently impresses with its flavor. A great spot for a true taste of the Caribbean.
