All other area Caribbean eateries are measured up against Just Jerk. They all fall short when it comes to the tastiness of their food. This is my go to spot and I’m never disappointed!

Just Jerk is One of THE MOST AUTHENTIC Restaurants that have AMAZING quality ingredients, FRESH food always. Signature taste! Nothing ever is off with JUST JERK. I've supported them for over 10 years. Other carribean/international Restaurants simply don't compare & are not authentic. Once you experience it, you'll be a forever customer.

There's a bullet hole in the window!
This isn't a proper restaurant. It's a shack in the parking lot of other buildings! There's a window where you can see the kitchen and how disgusting! The service is horrible. The two little chick's at the counter are rude and can't get your order right! They'd charged me double what I normally pay elsewhere and still have me the wrong thing. Trust me, don't waste your time!

The customer service here is the worst customer service in history. The food is mid. The portions and the lunch specials is why people come here. There a 2 Non Jamaican women who take orders and they are definitely rude. I didn’t want to say anything but once they crossed me and were rude to me for no reason I had to speak up. I will never give this place 1 Cent of my money ever again.

Used to love coming to this spot for years. Came in on again on a Friday night—super excited to try some of the “newer” offerings on the menu, including the seafood. To my disappointment, appearantly you cannot get anything outside from jerk and curry chicken options (there was one more option) once they turn off the grill at a specific time. It seems downright lazy to only offer up three menu choices— especially on a Friday night. Will not be coming back
