"Scotchie's Cooked in an open pit over pimento wood, the jerk preparations here are all authentic and—according to most locals—the best on the island. Traditionally spiced chicken and pork, as well as a less fiery fish version, served in a tin container along with rice and peas and festival bread (akin to hush puppies). Getting your order to stay means eating while perched on wooden barrels, which certainly adds local flavor. While enjoying the delicious meal, you'll get to observe the seemingly endless line of customers, and perhaps get a ringside view of a lively and noisy game of dominoes."

Without a doubt, this is the best Scotchies on the island! The flavors of the jerk chicken and pork are absolutely amazing—each bite is packed with a perfect blend of spices and smoky goodness that leaves you craving more. The meat is tender and juicy, truly showcasing the art of authentic Jamaican jerk cooking. Not only is the food top-notch, but the customer service is exceptional as well. The staff is friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home from the moment you arrive. They are more than happy to provide recommendations and ensure that your dining experience is enjoyable. If you're looking for a place to indulge in delicious jerk chicken and pork, this Scotchies is a must-visit. The combination of great food and outstanding service makes it an unforgettable dining experience!

Was a great experience for our larger party, all food was brought out in good timing and was hot and deliciously seasoned. I’d recommend this spot to anyone visiting the Montego Bay area. Bathrooms were clean and well kept. Real Caribbean/Jamaican food and tropical vibes all around. Prices were around $400-$600 Jamaican per meal which is about $2-$3 US. Service was impeccable and restaurant was clean and is mostly outdoor seating with a lot of tropical shade

We have been here a number of times over the years. It’s is very close to where we stay and it is easy to get to. We normally take a taxi but have driven ourselves here too. The staff are very friendly and the service was quite fast, except the fish that came after we had finished. The level of jerk is accessible for those who are not great with spice, but there are sauces on the table which are explosive! If you want to raise the level. The pork was the best in our opinion and we ordered more. The restaurant is next to the road which is quite loud, it adds to the experience, but it’s not a quiet eating location. Worth visiting to escape a hotel bubble.

To all my fellow culinary enthusiast and west Indians I'm sorry to disappoint with my review. With that being said I'm happy I went just to say I had the opportunity to visit the world famous Scotchies. The chicken was absolutely bland and the rice and peas as well. Festivals were okay. There were 7 of us and unfortunately we all had the same opinion. Service fast and friendly and they will tell you in the prices in American dollars if you are paying with US dollars. I believe they did that for the Canadian travelling with us as well. Have patience and learn to adapt to island time. Take time to support the Local economy ☺️

We were greeated poorly by the customer service representative/ cashier, then after having our meal my wife shirt back got spoiled by rust From one of the chair we ask to speak with a supervisor and all of them response was that they are busy, as if we weren't important, it's the first visit to the restaurant and as a visitor to Jamaica it didn't sit well with us , we end up leaving because we were ignore, after walking through the door we observe one of the cashier lady in red blouse laughing at us , very disrespectful . Our visit was on the 1st of Sept roundabout 6pm so we hope management can review the camera to see the poor behavior of the supervisor and staff. Hope no one else has to experience this behavior, also chairs need to be cleaned or re -paint

Easy review. This was the best jerk chicken I've ever eaten! Hot, fresh, and delicious! French fries were crispy and cooked to order as well. If they would include cocoa bread on the menu, this place would be perfect! Best jerk chicken in Jamaica hands down!

Scotchies was not worth all of the hype to me. I'd rather my street jerk chicken that I'm used to with more flavor, char and better service.

So asked around whether scotchies was great or not and reviews were 50/50 at the resort from locals, most recommended Pork Pit. We tried going there but line was super long, so Scotchies we went. Ordered the jerk chicken, jerk pork and spicy wedges. Everything was fine but meat definitely a lil dry and the "spicy" wedges were just plain wedges... Not even any salt... Don't know if there was something spicy left off or what. And also if you're looking for spicy jerk, that won't be found here., you can smother it in the scotch bonnet sauce but I'd hope for some kick as is. Probably great for tourists with tame pallets.
