"While artists like Cardi B and Nelly heat things up on stage, the Jerk Brothers food truck will bring the spice to your plate. Portions are big, so plates like jerk chicken wings with a side of rice and peas are likely to keep you fueled up for the evening sets. " - juli horsford, jacinta howard
"When it comes to a slightly oversized carryout plate, Dat Fire offers solid jerk, brown stew, curry, and other Caribbean preparations of proteins on its menu — and quite inexpensively. Prices rise when choosing pork or goat, but a large jerk chicken meal here costs around $15 and includes generous portions. There are also $5 Jamaican beef patties worth trying." - Mike Jordan, Beth McKibben

Owned by chef and Clark Atlanta University alum Jay John, Dat Fire offers affordably priced plates and tacos of jerk chicken and pork, along with other dishes like fried escovitch swai, colorful vegetable and curry plates, and a selection of patties.

"Dat Fire Jerk Chicken at the corner of Larkin Street and Northside Drive has dubbed itself “Atlanta’s best jerk chicken.” By all accounts, and the daily lunch lines, that’s not hyperbole. The small restaurant (with no inside seating) serves up Jamaican-style jerk pork and chicken as well as curried goat, oxtails, and sides of cabbage salad and rice and peas. Dat Fire is three blocks from Mercedes-Benz Stadium. A second location is now open on Camp Creek Parkway." - Beth McKibben
