Reviews
"Good food but it is a kind of pricey for families. This is without any sides."
"**Restaurant Review for Jerk 48** **Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)** I recently had the pleasure of dining at Jerk 48, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a great meal. The food was absolutely outstanding. I ordered the jerk chicken, and it was easily the best I’ve ever had. The chicken was perfectly cooked—tender, juicy, and bursting with rich, spicy flavors. The sides were equally delicious; the rice and peas were seasoned to perfection, and the plantains were sweet and caramelized just right. The service at Jerk 48 was top-notch as well. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure that my dining experience was nothing short of excellent. They were knowledgeable about the menu and provided great recommendations. Overall, Jerk 48 provided an exceptional dining experience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for authentic, flavorful jerk cuisine. I can't wait to return and try more of their delicious offerings!"
"This was my first experience and my last. I cannot believe that this kind of food is being served and at this price. It was not suitable as scraps to give to a dog. The chicken was overcooked and dry, the macaroni was just cheesy with parsley flakes, the cabbage was greasy and tasteless, and the rice was undercooked, still crunchy and the red beans with gravy had the consistency of canned pork and beans. Pure trash, and that’s where it went. And not to mention the temperature of the food was not in compliance with the guidelines of food and sanitation regulations. It should be a grand closing."
"The jerk chicken pasta here was off the chain. This is my second time here. Trying the jerk salmon this time. Service is friendly and the food does not disappoint. And they know how to truly candy some yams ya'll!"
"I usually go to the location on 67th, but decided to give this one a shot. Never again! I always order the jerk chicken and shrimp alfredo. Taste nothing like the one on 67th. Shrimp look old, and was salty and the chicken was too salty and dry. Not sure how you mess up bread (the garlic pita bread) but, it was horrible!. I haven’t tasted the jerk flavor seasonings yet. Not even even spicy. Just horrible. I would not revisit this location again."
