Montego Bay Grille

"Long post alert..The service was nice and the atmosphere was welcoming and clean. The menu is very limited and the prices online are not the same as in the restaurant. I found this out when I arrived to pick up my meal. There was a. $10+ increase but they were nice about honoring the price that was on their site. I had the jerk chicken dinner with rice and beans and veggies. I also had the crab cake appetizer and the pineapple upside down cake. Here’s my review.. Jerk chicken meal: PROS: the chicken was cooked perfectly. 10/10. The jerk sauce was incredible! I wish the meal came with more than the small cup that came on the side. 1000/10. CONS: the rice and beans was mushy and lacked flavor. Reminded me of Zatarain’s boxed rice. 2/10. Veggies were cooked and flavored very nicely but the portion was extremely small. I’m talking two spoonfuls. For $23, I can’t justify purchasing this meal again but I’d definitely order the chicken as a stand alone item if they offered it, which I was told it is not. Crab cake: 3/10. My crab cake was mushy and not cooked through. I’m 9 months pregnant and I didn’t want to risk getting sick so I just trashed it. However, the marinated tomatoes were delicious, as well as the avocado sauce served on the side. Pineapple cake: 6/10. The flavors were great but this cake was clearly stale. The texture of the cake was dry and crumbly but the caramel sauce tasted great. Overall, there is definitely room for improvement, but I don’t see myself returning. The price doesn’t match the portions or quality. $12 for one undercooked crab cake and $7 for one slice of stale cake is unacceptable. I’ll stick to my spot in Glen park to satisfy my jerk cravings."

"If I could I would give them 20 stars ! Everything was magnificent. The caramel dipping sauce, for the plantains is mouthwatering. A must have. Plenty of options to choose from, you won’t be disappointed. We can wait to go back."

"Live music and welcoming environment. The server was attentive and accommodating. We ordered the jerk pork and the Cajun pasta along with wings as an appetizer. The food was not bad, though I guess the last time we’ve had jerk pork or jerk chicken was in Jamaica- so our comparison is a bit skewed. The food was nicely charred and the jerk sauce had good flavor. Overall, not a bad experience just don’t know if we liked it enough to return a second time."

"My husband and I tried them for the first time, and the food is really good. We tried the plantains and wings and ooh, WOW, delicious! The plantains were like candy, and the wings were super flavorful and fall off the bone! Their jerk chicken and jerk pork did not disappoint either. Thanks to the very personable waitress, we waited for the chef's wife to get there with dessert. Great choice on our part. The pineapple upside down cake was moist and full of flavor and worth the wait!"
