This the original Mr Jerk in it's original location as gar back as I can remember. The alternate Restaurant that was closest for me and my colleagues used to be located at Kennedy and Hwy#7. Food here is great. I usually order a main dish with and extra meat side just ... to have two different jerk meats to try at the same time and with rice and peas and coleslaw. The staff here is down to earth, friendly and we naturally get into some random topic and end uo with a few good laughs as well. Keep in mind the place and strip Plaza is small and can get busy at lunchtime and the restaurant is also narrow and the restaurant is designed for pick-up orders only. (I would rate it overall as a 4.5 but can't do a half star for some reason) Read more
Take out only. They have the flavour of the spicing down, just wish that they added more to bring the flavours out more
I came here for the lunch special which starts from open to 3pm for 8.79. You can either go with jerk chicken or pork on rice peas and side cole slaw with a bottle of water. For the price and the quality it's a 5/5. The Jamaican missy that works ... here is amazing, she's friendly and jolly 5/5. I enjoy both the jerk pork and jerk chicken. My style is jerk chicken rice peas with curry goat gravy. It's my go to fire 🔥. Also they have have lunch jerk pork or chicken sandwiches for under 8 bucks. Other Jamaican restaurant should take noticed, I will be coming back anytime I'm around and hungry. Read more
Terrible food and just as bad service. Jamaican patty is the worst I’ve had. Was so hard it’s probably leftover from the previous day. The chicken was burnt too much just as the others have mentioned. It was hard also. Coleslaw was so few in serving. Lastly, the attendant had terrible customer service. I ... came inside and as I was asking about the menu, she didn’t even look at me as she was responding. She continued to do whatever she was doing at the till as she responded. Probably the worst patty and jerk chicken I’ve had. I should have read the reviews first before I had gone here. Waste of money. Read more
