My coworkers and I were preparing for lunch and unsure of what we wanted. We googled what’s in our area and notice that this eatery has 5 stars so we decided to try. The stew chicken was seasoned to perfection and falling off the bone. The owner was extremely welcoming and kind. We will definitely return.

The food here is incredible. I always get the jerk chicken, cabbage, and rice n peas. It is seasoned so well with the perfect amount of spice. Walking up to the restaurant, you can smell the grilled meat from down the block. Everything is made fresh and you can definitely taste it. The owner and staff are so down to earth, some of the best service I’ve had. This is the spot to go to for Jamaican food!

My first time eating their grilled chicken, I loved it. Come to this place, you'll love it. I also ate the delicious crabs.

The jerk chicken here is So damn good. Sheldon and the Jerk King on the drum were Caribbean hospitable . Sheldon also gifted me a sample plate of stew chicken, jerk rice and collard greens. I also got a sorrel ginger drink. All excellent (Im hard on Sorrel and their own is wonderful. I appreciate good service and good food. They have a drum ya'll. Nowhere in Far Rock would you find this.

I stop by Jerk King several times a week while visiting my mother in the area. All the way from New Jersey. This jerk chicken is THEE absolute best I’ve ever had. Even beats the jerk chicken I had in Jamaica last year. Keep up the great food and friendly service Sheldon.

First off all praise too the most high for allowing his Hands to be upon this here place !!!! Because I am a PICKY eater so this here review is for you. The customer service & hospitality you are shown is top tier. You will not be spoken too as if you're just another exchange. Shawn the owner is amazing with the way he shows care too the detail of your plate & even sharing his truth on how he likes his food. I Didn’t catch the cook on the grills name but him & Jo as well have very warming souls it’s one big family! I caught them finally before they closed & wanted some Jerk chicken, upon walking inside I noticed the Sweet Chili chicken & Lo mein & They definitely came through with the first time love! This place will DEFINITELY NOT disappoint so do not be fooled💚💚

So I stopped in at Jerk King to satisfy that craving for Jerk Chicken. I was immediately greeted by the owner and his family. Outstanding customer service. Which is something you normally don’t see. He said it’s a family business and he had me sample everything. That SWEET CHILE CHICKEN is delicious. I had the Jerk Chicken and that was delicious. It was very spicy. I now have a go to spot in the Rockaways. You like spicy definitely get the jerk. If you can’t tolerate spicy get the sweet chili. Come them out.

J
Jah

The food is amazing and the staff were great as well Joe, I forgot the boss name. It’s a black owned business so I encourage everyone from far rockaway to check out this spot, as a 1st time customer I was very satisfied and they also give you a free complimentary meal as a first time customer to show they appreciation.

So the things I tried were (by the way I came late close to closing) was Rasta Pasta, Cabbage, Rice & Peas and Sweet Chili Chicken I believe Everything was so amazing for it to be closing and the food was still as if it came off the stove I was so amazed for the first time normally I’m able to capture a photo lol not after one bite I didn’t have time for a photo however today I will be back to of course get you guys a photo & more !!! Amazing service super professional an guess what I’m going back TODAY

Janel Lee

I just had a small Jerk chicken dinner and it was good! The jerk chicken was well seasoned and you get a good portion for your money. The service was EXCEPTIONAL.. NOT your typical “attitude Jamaican restaurant”. I was greeted with pleasant attitudes all around, very refreshing! Great food, great service! Only negative is I would like a piece of sweet plantain with my meal, even if they add a couple cents to the price and include it, it would be nice to bite into some plantain with this meal! Go ahead and support them!

Jerk King is delicious! I walked past on my way to the LIRR and was immediately drawn by the tantalizing smell of jerk chicken on the smoker outside. I got the jerk chicken over rice and peas with cabbage, and everything tasted fresh and so flavorful. Joe and the chef are so sweet and welcoming - they gave me a complimentary plate of oxtail with rice and collard greens since I was a new customer. The portions are super generous, I have enough for at least 2-3 meals. I will definitely be coming back !

Man oh Mann, definitely one of the best Jerk chicken in New York. Cooked well with a nice Smokey jerk taste but still tender and not dry at all. And the Collard Greens are tasty as well. Whenever I am in or near Far Rockaway, you better believe I’ll be back😎👌🏾😎

I visited Jerk King last night, it's a fantastic Jamaican restaurant in our area, and had an incredible experience. The vibrant ambiance and welcoming staff made me feel right at home. The jerk chicken was perfectly seasoned with the right amount of spice. Generous portions, reasonable prices, and excellent service made for a great dining experience. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone craving authentic Jamaican flavors.

They are honestly so sweet! Felt like I was going to see my uncle to get some food. When you walk in their attitudes are up to par and they treat you like family! The food is very delicious and authentic and in my opinion they beat a lot of competitions with other Jamaican restaurants. I recommend anyone to pop in and order something from them. The jerk chicken was straight out the grill!!

J

My wife and I just went in for the first time. It’s my birthday so I was looking for some authentic Jerk chicken. First impressions, the place was very clean and the smell of the grill outside called my name from down the street. Service was super quick. Picked up some jerk, chicken and oxtail, and the owner was kind enough to let us sample. Some of the other things they had going. Portions were very generous. We couldn’t wait to get home and tear into it. No lie, everything was absolutely fantastic. Cooked perfectly, seasoned well, and we will definitely be going back again soon as repeat customers. I don’t write reviews often, but Jerk King absolutely deserves it.

paula londono

Oh my gosh.. i just stopped by here out of curiosity because I was craving some chicken and rice. This place BLEW my tastebuds off the face of the earth. The owner and one of the chefs were there and they were so incredibly kind. If you’re reading this, cancel everything and go there right now to try their food. I am so happy I found this place!! 1000/10!!

TuMekyo Harper

After reading the great reviews about the jerk chicken, this was a must try for me. Far Rockaway doesn’t have many food options especially Caribbean food. I was skeptical at first but it was worth it. The jerk chicken was fresh off the grill and seasoned to perfection. It was juicy, spicy and tasted great. 10/10. I was also given some other of their other menu items to try. The sweet chili chicken, rice and peas and cabbage all tasted great. If you enjoy authentic jerk chicken then give it a try.

Lamont Tyson

My first time eatting at jerk kingz and the food was 10/10. I will definitely be back and would recommend to everyone.

Wow… I cannot tell you how amazingly inviting, kind and attentive the staff at Jerk King are. From the moment you walk in, you are made to feel like they’ve been waiting for you only, to arrive. Sheldon, the Gentleman behind the counter pays 100% attention to detail and does so with such welcoming energy, plus a smile - the same goes for the Gentleman working the grill out front. Me and my Friend each ordered the jerk chicken, the sweet chili chicken and a couple of festivals and all were very good, especially the sweet chili chicken - The juicy-crispy-seasoned ratio was crazy!!! I will definitely be going back to try their sides and other dishes which I know will be equally delicious!

Food was fire, great customer service from owner! I tried jerk pork for the first time and it was really good, not dry or anything full of flavor and juicy. Collard greens omg 😋. Def a new spot I’ll visit again.

I went back to order their awesome chicken curry. Sheldon the owner gave me and my daughter some jerk chicken to try as well. It was sooo good!! Right off the smoker outside, lots of flavor and very tender. All the sides we had were so tasty too—collards, rice and peas and cabbage. This is Caribbean food done right!

Stefanie James

I am a true Far Rockaway native, and that's 1 of the things me and Shawn the owner had in common. I told him I came out to visit my sister from time to time and wanted some good jerk chicken. Shawn was the perfect host in that moment. He gave me some nice fresh hot jerk chicken and to be honest it was a little spicy for my taste, however I couldn't stop eating it. The taste was so good and gave a gave me a sample platter because it was my 1st time. Love the food and service and will go back again soon

The jerk chicken taste really so good. Sean is the owner of the place, he was the one that attended to me yesterday. He is so nice and friendly. I recommend this place 100%

Kevin Arrue

I’ve been here a few times and I gotta say everytime I come in the service is pure love and kindness. I’ve had an interaction with a different employee every time including the owner and everyone is just awesome. The portions are amazing and their prices are great and fair. You get quality food made with passion. I came in real late before closing looking for oxtail and although they didn’t have it the owner hooked me up with some samples on the house, left with a smile cause it has to be the most kind act I’ve ever had done in far rockaway, they love their business and it shows. I’d recommend this place to anyone who wants real good food made by real good people. My personal favorite is the curry chicken and their oxtail and crab, great and unique flavors with every bite.

A
Amitaf Salaveria

This jerk chicken is a must-try. The first thing that hits you is the irresistible smoky aroma — that perfect char on the outside promises exactly what it delivers: tender, juicy meat packed with a punch of heat and warm spices. Besides the amazing jerk chicken — is the owner himself,Sheldon. He’s incredibly nice and genuinely welcoming.

T
Tiffany Jones

Went there 2 weeks ago for the first time, and the owner gave my partner and I a sample plate. Absolutely the best Jamican food on the island!!!! I couldn't stop thinking about the food once I was done. Everything was delicious and flavorful. Food was cooked perfectly and well seasoned. The flavor just lingers on your taste buds. Definitely will be back! and will be a regular customer! Can't wait to try the rest of the menu! Thank you for generosity and kindness!

Nicholas Indorf

When I told Shawn, the owner, that it was my first time having Jamaican food, he dropped everything to give me a whole sampler of everything he had. And man, it was all so good! You can really taste the love he puts into his food. Warmly spiced, savory, and perfectly balanced flavors that all blend with one another in the dish. In particular, the curried goat and oxtail are killer, though you can’t really go wrong. And he really hooks you up too. Gave me an absolute mountain of food, and this was after he had fed me a bunch in the store. Shawn is a gem of a man, and I’ll definitely be craving his food very soon. Thank you Shawn!

Yarden Flatow

The first time I came to jerk king was because Sean was grilling outside and I couldn’t resist the smell. Since then, I’ve seen them grow their menu, renovate the restaurant, and grow their team. The food has stayed outstanding the whole time through. Shawn and his brother are two hard-working restaurateurs and if Far Rockaway wants to keep this quality of food around they need to support these two in their delicious endeavor. Looking forward to them catering our next party.

H
Hannah

The warm welcoming you receive as soon as you get to the doorway is a testament to just how good the experience and food was. It was our first time there and I was just looking for a quick bite to eat to end my birthday night. The owner Sean was so welcoming that he offered a first time sample plate. From that plate alone, I was sold. I couldn’t even decide what I wanted because EVERYTHING tasted good and had so much flavor! We ended up getting the jerk chicken dinner and jerk pork with cabbage and rice and peas. Joe was very helpful and patient as it took me a second to decide lol. I recommend anyone that drives by to definitely stop in, it won’t disappoint!

OH MY GODDDDDDELICIOUS!!! I have never left a review until now because this place is just too good. I was looking for a place to eat while on the road as an EMT and decided to stop by here. Customer service was impeccable. He said he’d take care of us and he Did! Mountains of mouthwatering food. Gravy DRIPPING down the side. Perfect amount of spice so that each bite feels like a warm hug. I could taste the love in every fork full. Price was nice. If you’re looking for a spot to eat look no further this is THE ONE!

Eka Himawan

We were visiting from Maryland and decided to have Jamaican food for lunch. The owner is very generous. He gave us sample platter of noodles, curried chicken and jerk pork. Everything we tried is delicious. I ordered jerk chicken. It is the best jerk chicken that I have ever eaten. Smoky flavor with just enough heat/spiciness. Goat curry is very well spiced, flavorful but not over powering. Price is good, very generous serving. We will definitely be back for more.

Jerk chicken, rasta pasta, and Guyanese chow mein/spaghetti w/ curry chicken. This was my 1st time there and the customer service was great from the owner to the workers, they treated you nicely.

Great food. My lady is very picky and even she loved it. Sean was amazing as a guide through selections. Our main dishes of curried chicken and goat were both fantastic and the samples of brown stew, oxtail, greens, cabbage, peas and rice were all delicious. Jerk King is at the top of the food game. The prices are affordable and the portions are huge. It’s my new go to in Far Rock.

Wendy W.

My coworker suggested this place and I was going to be in Far Rockaway today so I decided to get my dinner from there. I was happy to hear they have some vegan options. The food has a lot of flavor, the place was very clean and the staff had positive energy. I had the vegan chopped meat, peas and rice and cabbage. I will go back in the future. I’m not Caribbean but I’m happy to find a Jamaican go to spot when I need dinner 😁 🇯🇲 👍🏾

I can not rave about this place enough!!! First of all the staff are the best!!! So welcoming and friendly these are good people fr! The food was authentic, delicious, fulfilling, perfect amount of spice for you spice lovers and for a price you can’t beat! Definitely try it if you’re in New York, it’s one of those hidden gems in queens! Ate it all before I could take pics lol but the portions are huge I shared it with a stranger and they loved it just as I did!!!

Paul M.

Let me start by saying the owner (Sean) and manager (Joe) were very welcoming. As first time patrons, my wife and I were given a sampler plate by the owner. The food was very flavorful, meat was moist and cooked to perfection. We ordered the curry goat w/ rice & peas and cabbage as well as the jerk chicken dinner and it was definitely official. I wish this establishment great success and hope they continue the same quality of cuisine and customer service as with this first experience. We'll definitely be back and highly recommend you stop in for some delicious island cooking.

Food: Packed with a lot of flavor. I tried the mac & cheese ($6), and the jerk chicken ($10). Thanks to Sean’s great service, I got to try as a sample: cabbage, rice & peas, lo mein, oxtail, fried chicken & honey fried chicken. Everything was seasoned well & very tender. My favorite was the jerk chicken. Service: Sean was very attentive, & went above & beyond to provide great service. Atmosphere: Good music vibes if you’re into hip hop or Caribbean music. The place is basic/generic but the food makes up for it. Its only for take out. Thanks again Shawn, ill be back to try more food. 🙏🏼 (JC)

After a long day of travel, we returned to Queens keen for a bite to eat. Saw Jerk King on the map and thought we’d give it a go! We were treated like royalty— the owner charmed us with generous portions, tremendous value, and good vibrations. I know to come back when I’m in the area again!

Sheldon is amazing! He really does make you feel at home as he fixes you an amazing and hearty plate of delicious food. I tried the jerk, chicken, curry chicken, Mac and cheese, rice and peas, collards, cabbage, and Rasta pasta. I cannot recommend this place enough. From the first bite of the jerk chicken, I was hooked. It perfectly spiced and tender. The hour trip from the Bronx was worth it.

I had such an amazing experience at this restaurant today. The owner was incredibly kind and welcoming—seriously one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. The portions were huge, the food was absolutely delicious, and that BBQ sauce? Out of this world. The chicken and pork were smoky, juicy, and full of flavor. My flight got canceled and I was having a rough day, but this place—and especially the owner—completely turned it around. He truly made my day with his kindness and generosity. The service was top-notch, and I left with a full belly and a warm heart. If you’re ever in the area, do yourself a favor and eat here. This place is a hidden gem!!!👍

I moved here recently and have been trying out the restaurants in the area. I saw “Jerk King” on Google Maps and the reviews were positive! When you enter the restaurant vicinity, you can smell the food cooking and see the smoke rising from the grill out front. Walking into the restaurant, you’re greeted with a smile and a warm welcome. Some polite conversation and mentioning that it was my first time earned me a sample plate of rice and peas with Thai sweet chili fried fish — along with a warm welcome to the neighborhood. I ordered the oxtail, rice and peas, and cabbage. I had never had callaloo before, and he gave me some to try with my meal-and it was really good!. And guys… he was NOT stingy with the oxtail gravy on the rice 😩😩. Let’s just say I demolished the fish dish when I got home (still crispy btw), and I’ll be saving the oxtail for tomorrow 🥰 (though I had to sneak a taste — it was fall-off-the-bone amazing!). Will definitely be eating here again!

I’ve been here 3 times within a month, Each time was so satisfying and pleasant. I ordered a $10.00 jerk chicken w/ Hard dough bread, and one of the owners gave me a free plate of food it was beef Lomein, fried chicken and curry chicken with a festival on the side. He said for first time customers we offer a free plate of food. It was so delicious I had enough for lunch the next day and enough to share. The jerk chicken is so good and the jerk pork was amazing too I was hooked from the first bite. The staff is so friendly and polite. The young lady that works behind the counter is very nice she gives you service with a smile. I highly recommend you try it out and thank me later. The food is 5***** The service is 5***** The portions are healthy and tasty. Make this your stop for lunch or dinner. It’s was a great meal each and every time.

Went to Jerk King for the first time. Got the jerk chicken and the brown stew chicken, both were delicious. The guy working there was very friendly, gave us a sampler platter to try a few other items. The curry chicken was really good, lots of flavor.

Absolutely fantastic! I was driving by on my break from work and I passed by the intoxicating smell coming from the from of Jerk King and had to stop in. It smelled SO good, and tastes even better. Takes me back to my vacations in the Caribbean. The jerk chicken has that BBQ flavor and the sauces are top notch. I’m so glad I discovered this gem. Thanks again guys!

I was in the area for just one night and was looking for something good to eat. I stopped by Jerk King and met Sean—such an awesome guy! He put together a platter for me with jerk chicken, rice, and Cali greens, and it was absolutely delicious. The food was full of flavor, and the service and hospitality were top-notch. I’d highly recommend this spot to anyone looking to enjoy some great food and friendly vibes.

Went over during a rainy day that I had off. Ordered the jerk pork with sauce, white rice, and cabbage. I also ordered an oxtail with white rice and cabbage meal for the following days dinner. Both meals were BOMB. A nice affordable price for a lot of food! My 2 meals cost about $36!! I had a meal here some months before, a jerk chicken meal, and that was a 10/10 too. The oxtail sauce is the highlight. Will be back again today LOL

One of the best meals I've ever had! We traveled from Texas and wanted to try some authentic jerk chicken. It was worth the trip! Sheldon knows how to make you feel at home, and he HOOKS YOU UP with the portions! He also agreed Jerry Jones needs to sell the cowboys. I wish I could give this place 6 stars, hope to be back soon!

The food is immaculate! I walked in right as they were about to close and I felt like I was part of the family. They tended to me with such care just as much care as was put into the food… The chicken was super juicy yet thoroughly cooked and the seasoning was perfect down to the bone. 100/10 will definitely be going again

I had their jerk pork with seasoned rice, cabbage, sweet plantains and oxtail gravy. I must say the food was good! They also have a few options of bbq sauces to go with your meat. Definitely going back to try a few other items

As a real Jamaican, i had high hopes for jerk king. i’ve heard the reviews but i wanted to try for myself. I did come very late and they were almost closed. however they still fixed me a plate but the plate had no whole pieces of chicken. since when do jamaicans do jerk chicken chunks ? and the pieces i got had so much bone in it. They overloaded the entire plate with some sweet barbecue sauce when i asked for their spiciest jerk sauce. they were very kind and gave me free festival but the festival was oily and dry at the same time. i took a bite and could feel the oil on my lips. the food was quite disappointing but the service was nice. Perhaps i’ll have to try again at an earlier time despite it only being 9:30. It breaks my heart to waste food but this was a waste of food time and money. best thing was the juice.
