| - I would really like to give this place 3.5 stars but sadly, their super hyped Jamaican Jerk Chicken, although very good, is not Jerk Chicken. I will admit, I am not Jamaican and so it is possible that I don't know what true Jerk chicken is; however, I have had a good deal of jerk chicken in my day.
Their chicken is tender and you can taste the slightly smoky flavor of the bbq, which I like. It is well seasoned and seems to be marinated/cooked in some type of chimichurri based sauce but not jerk seasoning.
The rice and peas are more like parboiled rice with red kidney beans.
The order if chicken came with cooked cabbage and a potato roll. It was a generous portion for $8.99. I also ordered some plantains, beef patties and veggie patties. The plantains were undercooked, as another yelper mentioned. The patties, however, were really good.
The service was friendly although slightly aloof and the wait was about 15 minutes ( I imagine the chicken was just coming off the grill as most places have it already prepared and pack up orders right away).
There is some seating inside and reggae music videos are being continuously played for your entertainment.
Overall, I will definitely return for the patties and to try some of their other dishes (maybe oxtail or curry goat). I might even get more chicken so long as I am not specifically after the traditional "jerk" flavor.
