The jerk chicken platter is the best. I've tried many different spots in DC/MD and NJ, but Cool Runnin's jerk chicken is top. The location right on Easton ave is tough to find parking and I wish they were on doordash or one of the other delivery services.
Man, that food was all that!!! Them oxtails were tender, the rice and veggies well done, and sweet plantain was amazing! The whole meal was very well seasoned.
The woman at the register was so cool, food was good and the vibes were better. The jerk chicken was very spicy though
