Review by Halle A.

I recently tried Jerkin Chicken and enjoyed a hearty plate of jerk chicken with rice & peas. The chicken was delightfully tender, paired perfectly with flavorful cabbage and crispy fried plantains. The portions were generous, making it a fantastic value for the price.

The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff made the experience even better! I appreciate that it's a women-owned, Black-owned restaurant, and it truly feels like you’re getting a taste of authentic Caribbean culture. I’ll definitely return for more delicious comfort food! 🌴
