This spot is hit or miss. There hours are whenever they feel like opening. The one time I tried it the chicken tasted like it was reheated in microwave after being in the fridge. I’m too accustomed to goof J*** chicken to know if it’s fresh or not. Just tell me you don’t have it instead of reheating old j*** chicken. I asked for fresh chicken you give me reheated chicken. I sides are decent. Nothing special. Defiantly not worth the price!
Overpriced, I paid $11 for maybe 300 calories of food.
Awesome flavor! Sweet potatoes are ?!
I paid $25 for this. It’s supposed to be a half pound of chicken and two sides. Plus an extra side of chik peas. The side of rive looks like an ice cream scoop instead of one cup. Im beyond disappointed. I even told the lady working I was expecting a full portion she just said “ok”. Definitely don’t recommend go to Negril instead the give more food and it tastes better. Oh don’t be fooled thinking its alot of chicken they put my rice and peas underneath to fluff the chicken making it look like more smh.
Love the j*** chicken !Updated review : Also tried the curry pea special
It’s a shame because the 2 times I came here there’s only 1 person working and that one person cannot cook more than 1 dish at once so food takes more than 20 minutes sometimes. The guy is really slow and seems like he doesn’t know what to do about a lot of things. Had to get refunds
J*** chicken is top tier ??. They use fresh season and the rice and peas is also tasty and authentic. I love it here ! Service is great and everything tastes amazing. If you want Jamaican food check it out. What you see is what you get.
Food here is great! The j*** chicken, curry chicken and brown stew chicken are all worth trying. Note the brown stew chicken might take longer to prep. For sides, the mac & cheese is a bit plain but omg the sweet potatoes are crazy good and a must try! The kids also like the mini beef patties, which might also take a bit longer for prep.Ordering is from a computer touch screen, and the interface isn't the best but the food is worth it. Once you order from the screen and pay by credit card, the staff will come out from the back to prep your food, so don't worry if you don't see anyone up front. Again try the sweet potatoes, you'll thank me later!
So. I have missed Jamaican food for so many years. The service was okay when you do actually see them come out. So I'm going to be completely honest about the food. The j*** chicken was tender and juicy. No problems there. But the Mac and cheese is sooooo dry I choked. It's gotta be a couple days old. Along with the curry chicken. It's not fresh. It looked and taste like leftovers. Overall, I would give them another chance. I'm hoping it was an off day and it's not like this everyday. The favors are definitely there in all of the food.
I was so excited to try when I saw the reviews. I got a 1/4 j*** chicken meal with rice &peas, mac & cheese, and sweet potatoes. The sweet potatoes were wonderful and the j*** chicken was tender and delicious with j*** bbq sauce. I was sadden by the rice and peas. They had no flavor and was kind of hard. Might give the curry chicken a try. Mac & cheese was okay.

Pretty good. Nothing to rave about. The mac and cheese was lacking. Sweet potatoe was a mash, a bit unexpected. The brown stew chicken was definitely tasty. Good value for price paid. They dont take cash, surprisingly. A convenient register is on the side and you can ring yourself up and pay. Guy could have been more friendly, it was my first time visiting. This place is not as good as the last place that sold Caribbean food, but it's alright for what it's worth. Looked like there were 4 different options for plates, I didn't see beef patties....that would have been a nice touch. Or even if you could order spicy or mild options. I would try it again if I'm in the area.
I eat here almost everyday! ??? the food is so good! I recommend getting the curry chicken and 3 sides combo. Comes with a choice of yams, rice & peas and Mac and cheese! ??
Dry like Sand Jerk chicken...an it thighs....crumbly mac an cheese taste old and no life, I order sweet plantains for five dolla n get 6 pieces of non cook ting dat a bun up... 6 pc?!! Me nahhhhhh come bak
Very good Jamaican food. Doesn’t look like much from a physical storefront but food was excellent.
Called to place an order over the phone, the man clearly was too lazy to take my order but it took an extra 10 minutes to create an account and place an online order I placed it at 10:37 am it is now 11:37… bad service and extremely SLOW
