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.
Food fell off. Must be a new cook cabbage was hard. Not cooked. Meat was tough . And nit juicy. Also had a different taste. Would not go back. And I've been eating there for years.
Beware! The menu on this page says $14.99 for a large Oxtails dinner. They charged me $24.99 each for two dinners. I was denied a refund. No prices are posted. They are ripping customers off.
