Mr. Jerk,

2750 Wharton St, Philadelphia, PA 19146, United States

"Went here for lunch and ordered a small platter. Generous portion, friendly service, and reasonable prices. I ordered the Curry Chicken w/ cabbage and mac and cheese as my sides. If you aren't used to bones, eat slowly. Everything on the plate is delicious and I'll probably have enough leftovers for a second meal. I look forward to going back and trying their other menu items."

"Worst Jamaican food I’ve tasted my entire life.we are from Kingston Jamaica! Food taste awful brown stewed shouldn’t be damn near black! No plantains the ginger or whatever this spice was. Was cut I almost ate cause I thought it was chicken but felt the texture and spice. If you are from America trying to cook Jamaican food please find a Jamaican cook! The pictures are a lie the food is horrible this is what it really looks like!"

"Their food is really good! I am picky about Jamaican food and have been trying to find a new place since my old favorite closed last year. I'm glad to finally have gotten around to trying Mr. Jerk and I wish I would have done it sooner. I ordered the curry chicken, jerk chicken, yams, and mac and cheese, and was really happy with everything. The curry chicken was well-seasoned and the jerk chicken had the perfect amount of spice. The meat on both was tender and moist, cooked perfectly, with flavor all the way down to the bone. Rice and peas and cabbage were seasoned in their own right, not bland, and the texture was just right, not too soft or too hard. Mac and cheese was tasty, pretty textbook macaroni pie. But the secret ingredient to the plate had to be the yams lol. By themselves, they were just this side of too sweet for me, but when I mixed them with the other savory dishes, that hit of sweetness just amplified the whole plate and brought it together. Especially with the jerk chicken, because it had the heat to play against. And I also really liked it with the macaroni pie. Those yams have been living rent free in my head lol. I'll just be eating something and I'm like dang, you know what would really set this off? Mr. Jerk's yams lmao. I got everything in large and was happy with the portions and the pricing. I ordered through UberEats, and my order was completed perfectly, including the notes I left. I really appreciated the attention to detail and service provided, because those things make a big difference. Oh I almost forgot! I tried the cake too, the pound cake. Yall gotta get you some of that, it was good as hell. Very dense, but not heavy and not too sweet. I could have done with a bit of lemon to it, but it was a really good cake. Very satisfying end to the meal. Overall, I had a really positive experience with Mr. Jerk and will definitely keep them as my go-to spot when I'm feeling for Jamaican. Give them a try, I'm sure you won't be disappointed!"
