Curry Chicken Bowl Roti Skin
Jessica A.

I really enjoyed the food I got from here. I ordered the curry chicken with rice and peas and cabbage. The portion is very large, but I was ever hungry so I ate it all in one sitting. It can definitely be split into two or three meals. I also got a side of roti skin, which was a great addition to my meal.

I went into Dat jerk at 7/27 7:36pm I got 2 orders carry out #90. salmon rice and cabb and brown stew chicken, rice Mac and cheese. i got other items as well everything came up to about $61.00 ,My salmon was cooked to order staff was rude and dismissing. My salmon was dry and had no honey sauce at all. I felt like I was unwanted. And brown stew chicken had More gravy then chicken.

Jerk bowl with rice & peas and plantains

Dat Jerk did NOT disappoint! The jerk chicken was perfectly seasoned with that smoky, spicy kick that hits just right. The rice and peas were flavorful, and the plantains were sweet and fresh. I'll definitely be back!" The customer service at Dat Jerk was amazing! The staff was friendly, welcoming, and patient while I ordered. They made me feel appreciated as a customer. Great vibes all around!"

Food was delicious. We got the jerk chicken, rice and Mac n cheese. This was my first time here. Of course it has a kick to it but it was delicious. For a bowl, 2 Jamaican beef Patties and a piece of rum cake I paid a little over 30 dollars. Definitely enough food to feed 2. We shared our food and I'm still full Picture was after he took half the food and as you see it's still a good amount

I've had some Jamaican cuisine but certainly not enough. I found this Maryland chain on Yelp and decided to give it a try! They were pretty busy but the service was excellent! I got the jerk chicken, rice and peas and veggie mix. The meal was fantastic. Flavors are rich and delicious. The chicken was so moist and rice well seasoned. I liked the soda choices to cream soda, pineapple and most all in the fountain. The restaurant was clean however the ice machine was empty, hard to get utensils, and napkins. Also no water, which is really disappointing. I definitely want to return to try the curry!

~ As much as I drive past this place, I had to try it. I didn't have my hopes high because I've tried so many restaurants searching for true Caribbean food and my top two were " Hummingbird" and " Jerk at Nite". Other than that.... I'll pass. But this place is not it. I would give it a one star, but the customer service is really really good. They know how to move, keep fresh food coming & Handle in-store and pick up orders as well. So compliments to them. The jerk chicken is bad. It's more like a sweet honey chicken. Great size, but has horrible taste. My advice is to get a bunch of " rude boy jerk sauce" on the side and drown your chicken in that. Cause the chicken itself ain't doing it. I only eat one and give the other piece away. The rice and peas were cooked well. Mac & Cheese was regular. I poured " island BBQ" sauce all over cause the sides were boring. That Island BBQ is amazing tho. Glad I got it out of the way. Never going back, but if I do... it's to get some of that island BBQ sauce for the crib. I spent $26.25 for two 1/2 chickens with 2 sides and two extra sauces. Not bad. Hope you enjoy it. #TeamDiesel

I've been waiting for this place to open and I'm glad they did. Since I stopped eating meat my straight go to was the salmon. The woman upfront was very helpful and patient. The place was very clean and the music was on theme. The salmon was so flavorful and not over cooked. I loved the sweet and jerk contrast. The cabbage was cooked nicely and the sauce from the salmon tasted well with it too. The plantain was a little overcooked. Some of them were a little dry which was disappointing. Overall, I'd go here again and see what else I can try.

Mac & cheese

We were on a road trip and decided to stop here before we hit 95. It was early afternoon, not crowded whatsoever. The space was clean and tidy, playlist on point. The restroom was also clean, just about spotless! We were greeted almost immediately upon walking in and were able to quickly get our order in. The options are plenty and all seem desirable. We both opted for the oxtail, rice & peas, and cabbage entree. We also got the coco bread, pineapple soda, and a side of Mac. The Mac, rice & peas, and coco bread were the stars of our meal whereas the oxtail and cabbage fell a little short. The coco bread was just so nostalgic from my college days and every bite was so delicious. The rice & peas were also tasty, well cooked and perfectly seasoned. The Mac & cheese was goey and creamy HOWEVER... there was PLASTIC in my dish which completely was a bummer and one of the reasons I had to take away a star. When I notified the young lady she apologized and took the plastic-- and didn't give me any further recourse at first. So I just went back and grabbed my entire Mac and came back to the counter to give her the whole thing and that's when she offered to replace the side. I was torn about wanting to get more Mac and did, but now that I think about it I should've opted for something else since arguably that entire pan was/is tainted. The oxtails and its gravy and cabbage did not have that punch of flavor and was borderline bland BUT they were still palatable-- just underwhelming seasoned if you will. The oxtail weren't incredibly tinder fall off the bone but they absolutely weren't tough either and I was still pleased (he had had better). The cabbage had corn in it which was a pleasant surprise and a first for me. All in all, I would give this place another go. I'm a curry girl so would wanna try that and their brown stew chicken.

The crabs are hot and seasoned well. Only disappointment was the size. We wanted X-large crabs but they only had large and mediums. Unfortunately, the large crabs looked like medium sized crabs.

I placed my order over the phone and by the time I arrived I waited maybe an additional five minutes. The ambiance was chill as folks were going in and out retrieving their orders. As usual, the crab cake was good: lump crab with little filler broiled to perfection. The desserts were another matter: the cocoanut cake was a little dry and the carrot cake was too, but edible. I don't know if they are made in-house or offsite. All in all, they do maintain their 4 star rating for the crab cake and that is the main reason I continue to visit.

view We decided to…read morego to G&M because none of us had been there since we were younger, and we thought it would be fun to revisit a place we hadn't been to in a long time. Unfortunately, the experience was horrible from the moment we walked in. We had a reservation for eight people at 4:30. One of our friends arrived before us and was waiting by the hostess stand. Once five of us were there, we explained that two people were no longer coming, so we were now a party of six and were only waiting for one person who was less than 10 minutes away. We asked if we could be seated since we were only missing one person. The hostess went to get who we assumed was the manager. She asked how far away our friend was and then asked if we could simply order for her. We explained that we hadn't even been seated yet and that she was less than 10 minutes away. She then pointed to the sign stating that incomplete parties would not be seated and commented that moving tables was "a lot of work" and that they had many reservations. At that point, the restaurant was practically empty. She eventually told us she would seat us "just this one time." I understand having a policy about incomplete parties. What I don't understand is why the interaction needed to be so unnecessarily difficult, especially when we were only waiting a few minutes for one person. Once we were seated, the service did not improve. Our waitress would not serve us anything until our sixth person arrived -- not even water. We had a pregnant woman with us who simply wanted a glass of water, so we ended up going to the bar and getting our own drinks while we waited. When our friend arrived, we ordered our meals. She also asked if she could order a gluten-free crab cake to take home in addition to her meal. She was told she would have to physically go to the carryout section herself to order it and that it would not be cooked; she would instead be given instructions on how to prepare it at home. To top it off, the food itself was less than impressive. Restaurants are absolutely entitled to have policies, and we had no issue respecting them. The problem was the way everything was handled. From the moment we arrived, we felt like an inconvenience rather than customers who had made a reservation and were there to enjoy a meal. Good customer service can make up for a lot, but unfortunately, neither the service nor the food gave us a reason to return. It is safe to say there will not be a "next time."

They bring a different feel and different flavor to the outing. From the " napkin purse" ( awesome touch of creativity) to the tall unique glass of lemonade. And at Yardkoo you won't get your boil in a bag ( unless it's to-go ) They bring everything out on a stylish tray put together more like an art exhibit, then your meal for the evening. FYI: I ordered a half dozen of raw oysters to jump start things, and they were absolutely on point and super fresh from all angles ( a must have ) And once I actually dove into my meal, I was 100% sold that my loyalty was theirs for the foreseeable future.

I went with garlic butter medium spicy. More than enough to fill me up with a little leftover. Service was good as well. A very festive atmosphere inside.

The staff inside also provided great customer service. Unfortunately, the rest of our experience was disappointing. The patio was the only area with regular seating; inside, the tables are standing tables. We were eating on the patio when the owner came out and took the hot sauce bottle, explaining that we couldn't keep it at the table. She offered to bring us some hot sauce to go, which was fine. About 10 minutes later, she returned and said the patio would need to close soon. It was around 4 p.m., and the restaurant closes at 5:30, so we were surprised. We acknowledged her and continued eating. About 15 minutes later, she came back and asked if we wanted to-go boxes. At that point, we told her we felt rushed. She said she needed to close and lock up the patio. We told her there was no sign posted saying the patio closed early and asked how we were supposed to know. She dismissed our concern and casually replied, "Well, I guess I can put one up." I believe the owner's name was Nancy, but one of the workers inside told us her name was Eve. That interaction took away from what had started as a great meal. We had traveled about 40 minutes by Uber, spent over $100, and explained that this was our first visit to Baltimore and the first stop on our itinerary. Even though the food was a 10 out of 10, customer service triumphs over the food for me. I'm spending my hard-earned money, and I expect to feel welcome while doing so. It's sad to say, but I will not be returning.
