Relaxed & unadorned Jamaican eatery dishing out jerk chicken, plantains, wraps & beef patties.
"This is the place to go for some superbly satisfying roti in Montreal; the menu features hearty options filled with juicy beef, chicken, curry goat, and more. Flaky patties and plates piled high with rice, plantains, and a variety of choices like jerk chicken, oxtail, and saltfish round out the offering. For tasty, thrifty Jamaican grub, head to Boom J’s original location in Pointe-Saint-Charles or its newer outpost in Ville-Émard." - Valerie Silva
"The jerk chicken at Boom J's lures people to Pointe-St-Charles, but don't sleep on the restaurant's curry goat, stew beef, oxtail, and ackee and saltfish." - JP Karwacki, Eater Staff
"My team at Marconi flocks to Pointe-Saint-Charles for chef-owner Jermaine Wallace’s beloved jerk chicken—cooked on a drum Wallace imported from Kingston—as well as his tender goat curry, braised oxtails, and freshly squeezed juices. Bring your feast to Parc Le Ber down the street and enjoy with a gentle breeze from the St. Lawrence River." - ByMehdi Brunet-Benkritly, as told to Mia Leimkuhler
"With just over $10 at Boom J’s, diners can get their hands on roti generously filled with curry goat, beef, or chicken. The Jamaican takeout joint is hard to beat when it comes to incredibly tasty, thrifty food in Pointe-St-Charles — and, since June, also in Ville-Émard." - Eater Staff
"Grab some patties, a couple of jerk chicken rotis, and oxtail or curry goat for your hungry group at one of Montreal’s best spots for Jamaican food. Locations are in Pointe-Sainte-Charles and Ville-Émard. Order from any of the three popular apps." - Joel Balsam
