Wow!!!! Must try!! The food is incredible. I had a plate with rice and beans, lentil stew, mac n cheese and sweet potatoes. Great vegetarian options! The vegan patty was awesome too! The flavors are so delicious! The portions are generous and the staff is so warm and welcoming. Can’t say enough great things about this place. It truly made my night being there. I’m sure you’ll love it too!! Thanks for all the good vibes!

I am a vegan and I love coming here. I always get a lunch plate with their lentil stew (soooo good). Almost all of their sides are vegan as well! Their patties are also vegan and super tasty. Every employee I have encountered here has been nothing but kind. I live about 25 mins away but always stop by when I’m in the area!! (Also get a juice when you stop by, they’re great!)

Super below average food. Jerk Chicken is dry, rice and peas is dry. Barely give any sauce even when you ask for extra jerk sauce. Cabbage had no flavor. Mac n Cheese is sub par, it was hard and inedible. I wouldn’t eat here again. Portion size is not good either for the price they charge for a plate.

Jerk’D blew me away. This is honestly some of the best Jamaican food I’ve ever had! It’s hard to find food around here that’s packed with real flavor, but they’ve nailed it. I got the curry chicken with rice and peas, mac & cheese, okra, steamed veggies, Soursop passion juice, and a beef patty (everything was full of flavor and cooked perfectly). The portions were generous, the prices were super fair, and you can really taste the care that goes into the food. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. The vibe of the place just makes you want to hang out and enjoy your meal. Big shoutout to the chef (seriously, five stars for that curry chicken alone). If you haven’t tried Jerk’D yet, you’re missing out. Even if it’s a little out of your way, trust me, it’s worth the trip. I’ll definitel
