Wonderful food first of all, from the first time I dined at mama jerk I became obsessed (including screenshot of my card for proof of purchases for credibility not for you to guess how big my back is 😂😂😂) . The staff is wonderful and accommodating to all my weird food requests which is much appreciated. Huge place , always clean, the place just warms you up upon entry I never leave without a smile and laughter. The oxtail , steak Rasta pasta, and Philly eggrolls are my...

Absolutely phenomenal Jamaican food! I tried the jerk chicken and the flavor was perfect—authentic, perfectly spiced, and so delicious. The sides like the rice and plantains are outstanding too. Although they serve fish on the menu, they dont cross-contaminate. Love their new location on Sheridan Road with the expanded seating. Highly recommend!

We called in our first order, and received excellent phone service and order guidance. This chicken is delicious and tender. The cabbage side is a winner. The order was ready promptly. We will be back!
