First things first, I am from Trinidad and when it comes to Jamaican Jerk I have ate lots from many different places so wanted to give this a try. So its on a corner field, outdoor seating only so summer time expect to be uncomfortable but I was getting mine to go anyway. Grills set up outside like traditional jerk should be and smelled amazing! Now its a Thursday evening around 7pm so not busy, there were two people already ordered and waiting, one person i front of me in line...I ordered 1/4 chicken and 1/4lb pork...by the way no sides just chicken, pork and a slice of bread is how it comes so you would think as normal jerk places its off the grill, chop chop chop in some foil and you're good to go....WAITED 45MINS! I was visibly upset and when I finally got my food the lady taking orders apologized for the wait "but it's been a day" I understand they might have had some issues but its not the customers fault, and if you want to make up for a 45 minute wait then you offer a discount or her's some extra meat or something...but unfortunately not. So now I am on my way home not happy and hoping that this has to be some of the best jerk I've ever had to make up for it. So the chicken was a breast and wing, cooked well still juicy and good flavor and I had a side of jerk sauce as well...but the heat was not there. Yes I am used to spicy food, but when a traditional Jamaican jerk is involved the heat has to be more prevalent. Same for the pork, flavor definitely there, well cooked and they use a good cut but again just needed more heat. I really wanted to enjoy this thoroughly and I will say overall the meat was good but I can get good jerk at many other places without waiting outside in the summer heat with mosquitoes and gnats biting. I love seeing my island people succeed and I am trying to be as fair as possible in this review. Maybe they need more time to get their rhythm and I hope they do but I am wishing them well.
