If you are going to get food one place in Eagle River, Da J3rk Spot must be your stop. Authentic flavorful food that I cannot wait to try again. The quality is outstanding and the ingredients are clearly fresh and masterfully prepared. With lots of vegetarian and pescatarian options there is something for everyone. The business seems to primarily cater to take out orders but the ambiance and seating was delightful!

Id say 4.7/5 food and drink taste good. Got the shrimp rasta pasta and pineapple jamaican drink

Back again for lunch, this time I had the "meat pie"(I forget what it's called on the menu) and unfortunately my husband is a creature of habit and had the same thing he always gets. ALWAYS get an order of their Mac & Cheese- it's a must have even if you have to roll yourself out! The women in this place are the kindest, nicest people, and the food is so good and flavorful! I love that it's something different- not another burger place for sure! Keep it up! Can't wait to come back again for more!

This place is very very clean. There's 2 kiosks that you place your order at, and also you can't substitute anything. Once you place your order and take your seat, there is someone who brings the food to the table. My food was so disappointing. The flavor was there. But my oxtails were covered in an unusual amount of fat. And they were tough!! The curry goat was also just ok.

EDIT: in response to the business owner: I am well aware that this is not fast food, that is exactly why I made a special trip to visit! The fact that the food would be ready if I waited was not articulated clearly to me as the business owner described. I made special stop in ER just to come here, I would have happily waited if I knew this! Perhaps the business shouldn't open at 11 if they are only able to have half the menu ready at 11:30. I've been trying to get out to this spot since...well, since I heard about it! But, I'm usually in Eagle River really early in the morning, or really late in the day and...this place isn't opened. The other day I made a *special trip*. I was immediately disappointed, they were out of almost everything that involved oven-cooked chicken. I opted for the jerk chicken salad, which they did have. In a great twist, they will bring the food out to you in your car when it's done. COVID precautions seemed to be pretty good in general. I am happy to report it is one of the best salads I've had in the greater Anchorage area! The jerk was actually spicy! (so many jerk shops have jerk that is sweet...it tastes more like pumpkin spice than spicy spice) The greens were varied and fresh. It was a fantastic salad. I hope to get back and try some of the chicken-centered dishes, then I'll re-review. I can't justify 5-stars when most of the menu was out of commission.

This was definitely an interesting take on Jamaican food! Especially here in Anchorage you wouldn't expect to find a jerk chicken spot! It has its traditional menu and it's more modern menu. The cashier (not sure if it was the owner) was super kind and even took the time to explain the whole menu to my friend and I because were new! I got the jerk chicken wings that came with rice and beans, and plantains. I also got the mac and cheese. Everything was delicious! The chicken was slightly crunchier but the meat was so soft and the jerk sauce was perfect. The rice and beans really complimented and brought everything together. The mac and cheese was baked so it was a little dry but it was delicious! It had a nice Caribbean spice to it different from regular mac and cheese. And the cheese used in it was sharp and tangy. Overall I give it a 5/5. Definitely got me for the next time!

Great customer service she asked if it was our first time and since it was went over the menu with us and the popular items. Hibiscus Passion fruit punch was delicious she mentioned they get the hibiscus from New York. The jerk chicken wrap was delicious the chicken was moist and flavorful. I had never had plantain chips before but the were very similar to potato chips crispy and tasty. She mentioned their food was made with love and I can tell! Highly recommend trying this spot out, we will be back.

Update: I've been pretty obsessed with the Rasta pasta. But, I tried the chickpea curry and my partner had the curried goat and I'm not sure how either of us have survived without these. The curries are incredible.

As a West Indian, I am appalled right now!! I ordered DoorDash from the Da J3rk Spot in Eagle River. Heard they were good. Ordered 3 shrimp & Jerk chicken bowls. Cost $65 plus. I am so bc these people didn't serve jerk chicken but instead lunch meat. Yes, I said cold cuts that you make a sandwich with...that I don't even eat. Like 2 straight strips of cold cuts on top of rice & beans! Never Again!!Lesson learned. Cook your own food.

Food was 10/10 for flavor! Loved how easy it was to order on the kiosk along with very Friendly staff. So glad I decided to stop in today absolutely will be returning to try more when in Eagle River next.

Bold flavors, perfectly cooked chicken, and a bread pudding that will leave you salivating--what a great addition to the Eagle River restaurant scene! We have a new tenant in the space that used to house Meraki, and it is slinging out a simple but delicious menu. I was quite upset when Meraki (Greek Restaurant) closed. Eagle River has a severe lack of non fast food dining options, and even more severe lack of variety in cuisine options (we have mainly Mexican or Chinese take out). So it is safe to say I was ecstatic to see a new restaurant open in the space. I was even more excited to see it was an Afro Caribbean restaurant because that meant a new type of cuisine to try that I haven't had too much exposure to. I have eaten a fair amount of Jamaican food, but I see from the comments that the owner is from Guyana so it is different! We ordered an 8 piece jerk chicken wings, jerk chicken sandwich, side of fried plantains, side of mac & cheese & bread pudding. The fried plantains were cooked perfectly. They were crispy, sweet and melted in your mouth. The mac and cheese was also good--creamy and tons of cheese. The chicken sandwich was delicious. It could've used a toasted bun, and a little more slaw, but the chicken was so flavorful. My only complaint would be that I ordered it spicy, and it did not seem spicy at all. The wings were juicy, and so flavorful. I ordered them with sauce on the side, and they honestly did not even need a dipping sauce. At first I thought that $20 for 8 wings was a little steep, but they give you 8 pieces of the wing and drum connected. It's not 4 wings and 4 drums so it is a good portion of chicken. The honey jerk sauce was pretty honey prominent, but tasty. For dessert I had the bread pudding with a caramel rum sauce. I'm still thinking about that bread pudding a week later. It was AMAZING. I will be back to try the oxtail, and some other items. I am so happy to see a business being able to open during these trying times, and I wish them success. Definitely give them a try!
