Got jerk chicken, cabbage, and rice, very new to me and they absolutely delivered, fall off the bone, flavorful chicken, perfectly soft yet crunchy cabbage, and amazing rice too(especially when mixed with the jerk sauce) will definitely go again and try a new dish

I was in the area visiting, and decided to try this place. I want to thank the owner, Shawn for his incredible customer service. The food was so so delicious. Everything tasted fresh and homemade, and the portions were huge for what I paid. I highly recommend the Jerk King, and if I’m back in the area, I’ll definitely stop by again.

The owner Sean was so nice and set us up with FULL plates. The jerk chicken was amazing, and it actually fell off the bone. The staff was very kind and this was definitely some of the best jerk chicken I’ve ever had! Definitely will be coming back!!

The Jerk is so tender, seasoned, and hot off the grille. Mac hands down the best I’ve had and I always get rice n peas…everything on my plate is delicious. The owner, he was definitely a kind hearted person. Can’t wait to come back here.

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
