Review from michelle s.
Jamaica, NY

This is an overall 3/5 but the jerk is 5/5 hence, 4/5 rating.
My friend and I usually trek all the way from jamaica,queens for haitian pates and jamaican oxtail in brooklyn. On our way back one day from our haul we stopped at a light and saw the tell tale signs of good jerk...
1. an actual outdoor barbeque smoker (none of that phoney indoor stove saucy bbq sauce jerk)
2. the smell of the delicious and smokey woody seasoning
3. tall, lanky fresh off the boat jamaican cookin it up
The jerk was the best jerk I've had so far in BK hands down. They sell it by the cut vs. small, large. Its $5 for the legs cut up, then around 8 for legs and quarters (breast?) and about 12 for another added section. It all tastes good to me. Good spice, light crust, juicy, tender and that smoke pinkish color that makes you yell bumbaclaat!!!!! i kid...but it is quite delicious.
Sadly, the rest of the food isn't as great but not bad either. The rice was a bit dry for my taste (i shared my friend's rice since she completely forgot to add mine) and the mac could use more cheese throughout but the crust is pretty good. The could give larger stewed chicken portions and it wasn't as fall off the bone as I like but I've had worse. Cabbage is kind of fool proof and it was good here as expected.
If you want to find the ultimate jerk chicken spot and friendly service come here. I can't speak on the oxtail (my fav), curry goat or ackee but if you are a die hard on stewed chicken and you know a damn good spot go there instead.
Oh, and it's a restaurant too so sit down with the fam if you want but its more of an order and run spot. -

Bad news - they have joined the fray and installed a gas-fired grill in the kitchen, most of the jerk chicken is now made inside on a gas grill. The actually BBQ drum outside is only used on special occasions/once in a while now. What a bummer.
The spot on Utica Ave. b/t President and Union still makes jerk chicken outside on the drum almost all year; they were #2 behind Boston Jerk City, but I guess they have gone to #1 now, sigh.1 Previous Review: Show all »

Review from Ava E.
If you love spice and you wanna tear your mouth up and blow your booty out, you've come to the right place. Spicy, spicy, spicy as hell, and I love every minute of it.
The smokers are always on full blast as meat, meat and more meat is being smoked to perfection. That spice is crazy, y'all. I can taste every ingredient in that jerk seasoning, cinnamon, cumin, herbs, spice, more spice and more damn spice. Juicy, tasty and worthy for a few more visits.
