As I have more times than I care to admit, I stopped by the Real Jerk tonight to pick up dinner. As always, I got the chicken and chickpea roti, and, as always, with enough hot sauce, it was enjoyable. So why only a three then? My actual rating would be a solid 3.5. Here's my rationale:
The food is okay, but nothing I'd rave about. Since it's right around the corner from my place, I've tried a variety of things on the menu. Most aren't complete disappointments, but the only thing I'd feel confident recommending to a friend is the roti because its quality seems to be the most consistent and for the price, it's reasonable.
I think the biggest issue I have with The Real Jerk is the service; not surprisingly the number of my take-out visits greatly outweigh the times I've eaten there. I've had a few good servers there; don't get me wrong. Unfortunately, I've had more that seem to be doing me a great favour to take my order or money. And frankly that makes them well... a real, you know... jerk.
