Very convenient walk-up window service right on the Nautical Mile in Freeport! Outdoor seating available by the water, and they even have a cute swing with a cute grassy wall backdrop for photo ops. As for the food, I LOVED their Rasta pasta! Also appreciated they have options for kids and everything on their menu is reasonably priced. Great find for authentic Caribbean eats!

I’ve heard about this place for a while now and decided to try it out today. I’m a Jamaican myself and known to make top tier Rasta pasta so buying out is a challenge. However, I was pleasantly surprised with the jerk chicken Rasta pasta I ordered this evening. The food is fresh. Jerk chicken is cut into perfectly bite sized pieces and each piece is filled with jerk flavor. The pasta is perfect and it was nice and saucey just the way I like it!! The peppers were cooked with just enough crunch and not too soft and mushy like other places. Truly 5/5. I can’t wait to try more food from them!!

Good chicken but the issue is they think giving 4 legs with a half jerk chicken order is acceptable. What chicken has 4 legs? Same issue with ordering a 1/4 jerk chicken. 2 legs with a tiny short thigh and back. Not much personality at the order window either. They don't come across as friendly, almost like they are doing you a favor, otherwise its okay if you don't care about those things.

We tried out this new place and were really happy we did! We all got the jerk chicken in various forms. I got the jerk wings which I loved! My mom got the jerk dinner with the rice and peas and Cole slaw. And my cousin got the jerk and fries. My brother got the pork jerk dinner snd didn't like it as much as the chicken. But the flavor was fantastic! The Cole slaw was amazing. Fresh with no mayo! Just how I like it. Dianne who helped us was great! We ordered to go, but next time we will eat on the lovely patio they have.

I’m delighted to give Jerk on the Water 10 stars! The jerk chicken was prepared authentically and with Love ; took me back to my relationship with my Caribbean woman who took the time to really clean her food. I really miss her and appreciate all that she did; you don’t know what you have until it’s gone; thank you for recreating my experiences with her in food preparation. The coleslaw was flavorful and the Mac n cheese was the truth!
