"Ja’Grill has been thriving ever since it left Lincoln Park for Hyde Park several years ago. Here, they’ve gone all out with Jamaican décor and murals throughout the space. Of course, they brought the infamous Ja’ Rum Punch with them — and it’s more potent than ever. Food consists of classic Jamaican cuisine, from heaving plates of jerk chicken with rice and peas to a host of curry dishes (chicken, goat, red snapper) and hearty stews." - Eater Staff
"Dinner at home can still include delicious cocktails with pickup or delivery from Ja’ Grill. Add a bottle of rum punch to meal of Jamaican fare including honey-glazed jerk chicken wings or curry shrimp, both served with rice and peas and plantains. The restaurant doesn’t take reservations, so placing an order through Grubhub or Uber Eats is always a good bet for a meal as relaxing as an island vacation." - Ashok Selvam, Naomi Waxman, Eater Staff
"The space previously housed an outpost of Ja’Grill, a Jamaican restaurant in Hyde Park. The loss of Ja’Grill took away a full-service restaurant, a rarity for the area." - Naomi Waxman
"Williams connected with Harper Court’s restaurant owners: Ja Grill, Bob’s Pizza, and Jade Court." - Ashok Selvam
"In recent years, places like Ja' Grill (which recently closed) have opened around Douglass Park as there’s been a surge in giving the area more options." - Ashok Selvam
