    Jerk chicken burrito
    Maddy M.

    As an avid burrito lover, believe me when I say the Erma's Island jerk chicken burrito is top 3 of all time. It's HUGE and absolutely delicious. I was sharing with three others and they kindly cut it into four servings!

    This was our first visit to this restaurant. I generally don't like to leave unfavorable reviews but to be honest I was hoping for a better experience. I love Jamaican food and was excited to finally visit the new location that occupies the former Modern Malt location on Clinton St. It was around 7pm and not too busy with less than 10 people in the restaurant. The space offers plenty of floor and bar seating. The music is complimentary and the area is well decorated. It was interesting that we were told there weren't enough menus so we would have to share. We decided on the jerk chicken tacos. Our server returned from the kitchen and informed us that tacos were not being made at this time. Also that the jerk chicken was no longer available She offered some other dishes and after explaining out food preferences/aversions we decided on the curry chicken roti dishes. Our dishes arrived after about 15 minutes and after a few bites in we discovered it was not what we ordered. We called another server back to verify and here indicated that the dishes were not what we ordered but curry goat. They offered to correct the issue and replace the meals but after having spent 30 min there already we opted to maybe try again another time. So if you decide to check it out maybe be prepared to spend some extra time. Hopefully if and when we return it will be a better experience.

    My first time at Erma's and certainly not my last! The jerk chicken burrito was amazing--very flavorful and I felt like the portion size was excellent to the money spent (~$14 after tax). Service was quick and efficient. I'll be back to try the Rasta pasta sometime! Also, there's a Sunday brunch that I'm also going to try to check out sometime!

    Came as part of my 5,800 mile 30 city food trip. Stopped into the market of what I was told to be up and coming vendors in rotation. Selected this spot for its fair price point and interesting menu. The jerk chicken burrito was fantastic! Seasoned nicely. Slaw added texture. Wrapped nicely as well. Very friendly counter service and wish them the best!

    Awesome jerk chicken with macaroni and cheese. The sauce was delicious, first time eating Jamaican food, I will eat this again.

    Service is always great here. I haven't had a meal I didn't like. They catered an event I went to so I got to try a sampling of the food and everything was delicious. I can't get enough of their curry chicken patties. Great addition to the Salt City Market and they really put love into their food.

    Been waiting to try this place in the market as it seems every time I come here they're on break or closed. Tried the jerk chicken Rasta pasta. Omg amazing. Chicken was so flavorful and tender. Loved the sauce on the pasta it had the perfect kick to it. Definitely want to try their jerk salmon Rasta pasta next. Super filling as well.

    My wife got her meal from this restaurant while we were eating within this eclectic mixture of restaurants! She really enjoyed her meal. She said the service was great!

    This restaurant is located in Salt City Market. Erma's is delectable and the chef/ owner is the nicest person ever!! We tried the Jerk Salmon, which is a must if this is your first time trying out Jamaican food (warning: jerk flavor definitely has a kick to it so be prepared!). Also, tried Braised oxtail in butter beans, which has more of a tangy flavor. Excited to taste the Curry chicken roti next time!

    I got the jerk chicken Rasta Pasta at Ermas island and it was fantastic! I saw this on the menu a while ago and have been wanting to try it. It exceeded my expectations! It was the perfect balance of creamy and spicy. I typically can't handle food that's too spicy and this was the perfect amount of spice for me. The portion size was pretty large for the price too. I'll definitely be ordering this again.

The truck opened right on time and it didn't take long to place my order. My order took about 10 minutes, 1 hot Connecticut Lobster Roll and 1 Cold Maine lobster Roll. It was a such a beautiful spring day I decided to open the back of my van and eat in the sun! ( There was no place to eat at this business.) The hot buttery Connecticut roll was tender and delicious, it had a nice amount of lobster meat. The other roll, the cold one had noticably less meat. I was disappointed but it was delicious and next time I'll try something else, people were saying that the lobster tacos and lobster quesadillas were very good too.

Cute crab shack ambience, it's a hot spot so order or arrive before the dinner crowd. My first visit was a Saturday around 6 and it was crowded and not a seat to be had! All the seafood platters being served looked amazing, so I knew I was in the right spot! I was greeted as I approached the counter and was assisted with my take out and recommended popular party sack combinations. I ordered #3 which includes a lobster tail, one cluster or 1/2 lb snow crab, 1/2 lb shrimp (I recommend requesting Head Off!) a piece of corn, and 2-3 potatoes. I chose Cajun seasoning and, very hot spice. Warning you best be a very spicy hot lover, it was challenging but loved it! I have already returned for a second time, also #3 sack added extra corn $3 and extra potatoes $3. CrabnGo special seasoning and still extra hot! Delicious not as over the top as Cajun Hot! $47 and change with the added corn and potatoes. $42 and change without. Only one quarter piece of corn first order and two potatoes. Love it!

My partner had a vegetarian entree, something with mushrooms. She enjoyed it. We had a total of 3 mocktails as well. Bill was almost 200 dollars. Steep for no booze and one person ordering all vegetarian. Take that into consideration when planning a night out as th drink menu looked great so you're destined to go above that if you booze. The tables were very close to each other and the dining room was loud. Not romantic in my opinion. Food was pretty good, rest of the stuff could use a little work.
