"In case the chicken bones lying around the parking lot aren’t a giveaway, this 24-hour spot can turn into a party that spills out into the parking lot at night. Jamaica House has two rooms. You order in one and eat next door in a dining room with a bar and pool table (if you’re not just trying to do takeout). Regardless of where you eat, everything comes in a takeout container—and thank goodness, because, as bad as you’ll want to, there’s no way you’re finishing all that jerk chicken in one sitting. It’s juicy and you really taste the scotch bonnet. Ask for some oxtail gravy on your peas and rice, and try not to trip on a rogue bone on your way back to the car." - virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino
