Not carnivore friendly. I asked if I could have just the meat portion, but was told no. They apparently have a rule against serving just protein. It's too bad. I probably would have been a repeat customer. I cannot rate their food, but the service was disappointing to say the least.

Amazing food, but questionable service fees. The jerk chicken and fish were 5/5 stars—perfectly cooked and flavorful. That said, they charge a mandatory 20% tip for what is basically a takeout experience (disposable containers/no table service). Great flavors, but be prepared for the 'hidden' cost at the counter.

I eat here often over the past two months. The food is delicious. I was shocked to see a review by Aujanae Mckinney trashing the food here. Firstly, the beans and rice aren't bland or dry. They are always perfect for me. As we know in …

Had a wonderful lunch meeting yesterday. Their branzino daily special with their houseblend of herb salt is one of the best and most well cooked fish dishes I’ve had (and I’m from a fishing village!). The staff were very friendly and …

My Mac and cheese was grey. Whatever they’re trying to do to fancy it up doesn’t do it for me. My father is Caribbean and this place I have only been repeatedly disappointed by. Not spending any more money here no matter how good they try …

The jerk shack use to be my favorite go to. I would make a weekly drive over an hour to get the half chicken meal. Everything was always so delicious 😋 however since they moved the food is mid at best and tonight was big disappointment my plantains were not even edible. And the mushrooms had so much seasoning it was overwhelming. …

I had a great experience. I want to particularly mention the black dude from Ghana 🇬🇭. He is one of the most fascinating worker I’ve met. He responded to me in a friendly and warm manner. He’s such a steal from the owner. …

If you have ever been to jerk shack in downtown Seattle and that’s what you’re expecting, THIS IS NOT IT! I got a Jerk Chicken plate and it comes with rice and peas, slaw and plantains. I also got a beef patty. My rice had no peas and was …

I can't even begin to describe how disgusting this food was. I almost never leave reviews but I had to take the time out. This food should not be served to humans nor should it be associated with the name anything Caribbean or Jamaican …

I've read the reviews but I stand by MY 5 star review based on MY experience, the quality of food I received, the outstanding service, and the vibe at the time I visited. I have had more flavorful island food, but my food was definitely …

I great Caribbean hole in the wall restaurant. The service is friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere is warm and cozy. The plates are an especially good deal; generous portions of great food for a reasonable price.

This place fell off, when this place first opened the food was fantastic. The last few times I went I either had burnt chicken or the rice was stale. This last visit I had stale rice and stale plantains. The chicken was ok. Also I paid for …
