Reviews

The jerk chicken here is good and the meat is juicy. There bottle of jerk sauce they sell is good too but I went here to get another bottle and she said they were sold out. Other than that great service and great food.
One of my favorite places for jerk chicken on the Southside of Chicago. I advise ordering ahead if possible, they are not in a rush and always busy. The food is tasty, cooked well and served hot. Prices are reasonable for most selections.
