Overview: The Jamaican Jerk Shack is a pretty good place to go try Jamaican food. I’ve never had authentic Jamaican food before so it was new for me.

Total price for 2: <$20 - A combo includes meat, rice and peas (which is just rice and beans - I was confused), and a drink.

Service: Rating: ★★★★☆

Comments: I thought the guy working there was pretty nice and willing to help us figure out what we should eat. I told him I wanted my met bushman style but I guess he thought it would have been too hot for me so he gave it to me on the side which was cool.

Ambiance: Rating: ★★★☆☆

Comments: There’s really not much to say - it’s a shack that you drive up to. I guess in warmer weather there is a place to go sit down and eat which would be nice. I kind of liked the shack though, overall.

Food: Rating: ★★★½☆

Best dish: Rice and peas (beans) - my wife loved them, they were just OK for me (they needed something on them but I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to pour the cinnamon sugar on them or the jerk sauce.)

We both liked the pork sandwich with the jerk sauce on the side. I also got a meat plate with curry chicken and pork - it was OK, but I was really wishing the pork would be pulled. All in all I think the food was pretty good.

Worst dish: Probably the only thing that could have been better was I would like to have tried the bush man style pork prepared bush man - they gave me the spices on the side and I didn’t have a great way to mix them.

Other comments: For what it is I think the price was a little steep. My wife liked the rice and peas and her sandwich so much that I think I’ll be going back soon.

Overall Rating: ★★★½☆
