Savor classic Caribbean flavors and heaping portions of chicken wings in a laid-back spot that’s always buzzing with hungry patrons.
"While Jamaican D’s is a little farther afield from Germantown Avenue, it’s a must-visit for its jerk chicken, caramelized sweet plantains, mac and cheese, and collard greens. There can be lines outside to get the restaurant’s deluxe combo platters, but stay motivated. Customers can preorder online through Grubhub for pickup, so the oxtail and collards will be hot on arrival. Delivery is also available." - Ernest Owens
"For consistently solid food, you're in good hands at Jamaican D’s. And even though the wait at this Chelten Ave. spot can get longer than a barbershop’s on the weekend, a platter of jerk chicken, rice and peas, and cabbage is worth sticking around to eat. Plus, once you’ve ordered, they’re quick, so you don’t have to wait too long before biting into their chicken that’s dripping with jerk sauce. And to cool your mouth down, get the cinnamony sweet potatoes. They’re mashed, and after your first pillowy spoonful, you won’t want to eat anything else." - candis mclean

"There are plenty of phenomenal Caribbean spots in Philadelphia, but if you’re in the mood for solid Jamaican dishes (like brown stew chicken, jerk wings, or curry goat), this is one of Philly’s go-to spots. They not only serve some of the most reputable plantains, sweet potatoes, cornbread, and rice and beans — but at a ridiculously affordable price (most of their large meal platters are under $15)." - George Banks-Weston
"Jamaican D’s on Chelten Avenue is a Philly institution when it comes to Caribbean cuisine: Their juicy oxtails, spicy jerk chicken, caramelized plantains, and savory collard greens are top-tier. Customers can preorder online through Grubhub for pickup and delivery." - George Banks-Weston
