| - We noticed this restaurant while going to the viet restaurant once day noticed a decent line up so we decided to check out the reviews on Yelp and planned to visit another day. Today we went by around 8pm, no line up, to grab some dinner. Was really looking forward to trying this place based on the raving reviews. We were looked at and then ignored upon entry. We tried to order the jerk shawarma but was advised they were sold out. After asking what they recommended, the lady said, "everything is good". Stuck between the oxtail and curry goat, I asked the lady for her opinion and she said, "if you want goat, get the goat. If you want oxtail, get the oxtail". I chose the oxtail. My roommate chose jerk chicken. Everything was already prepared on the hot tables ready for them to scoop and pack but our food was not ready for us for another 20minutes. We had our food at home and the oxtail was sweet and bland, rice was not seasoned, vegetables were just blanched. The jerk chicken was dry and spicy and house gravy was not tasty. If you are looking for good Jamaican food, stick to the hood (mainly in the Jane/Wilson) area. Looking at my roomate's jerk chicken made me immediately miss Willy's jerk. I will probably go there tomorrow to satisfy my Jamaican food craving as Chris Jerk was a disappointment. Would not come back due to slow service and bland food. Would not recommend.
