    Mac N Cheez (Jam N Cheez), Rice N Peas, and Oxtails
    Tony N.

    Oh Mah Gawd this food is INSANE! I now know why they call it Jerk Chicken, it's because your coworkers will call you a Jerk for not sharing! My 5 coworkers and I decided to try Jam N Jerk Kitchen out so we ordered some plates for 6 people. The owner did a Paula Abdul and "Straight now tell me" and told me the most cost effective way to get our order which was the mini-catering option. Let me tell you, she was absolutely right! The value of the the quality of the food on as well as the amount you get is fantastic (take a look at the pics). We ordered a medley of everything, the Jerk Fish, Jerk Chicken, Oxtails, Rasta Pasta, Jam n Cheez, Rice N Peas, all were incredible. The chicken was so flavorful, the oxtails fall off the bone, the fish with the mango salsa was kickin, and the jam n Cheeze was sooooo gooey! The food was so good in fact that our coworkers demanded us to share! The food literally made me believe in love again, so I called my wife and said "Honey I believe in Love again and Love you, to which she responded, I love you too but you better bring me home that food!" Some tips to make your experience Rad 1. The menu on their site is merely just a guide regarding prices and what is available. When the owners contact you they will tell you the prices and have your best interest in mind and guide you to what is right for you. 2. The address will take you to a large complex. Find the pool and leasing office and that is the location to pick up your food. Again the love they put in the food, the quantity of what you get, and the taste makes this a must have!

    The food is good. First off my husband had a taste for Caribbean food so I went on a mission to find some. I obviously don't pay attention to detail because I didn't realize that this is not a restaurant. One has to pick it up after you order and pay for it first, and because it's cooked to order it's ready the next day. I wanted to try all the meats, chicken, ribs and shrimp. I didn't know how to order being this was our first time. I had a few mishaps with getting the food, but eventually we did get it and thought it is worth the price. It was my first experience ordering from a vendor. The experience is not for us. Having it cooked wherever and paying first was not our preference. But, again the food is good. I would definitely go to his restaurant when and if there is one one day.

    Jamin Jerk Kitchen is exactly the kind of Bay Area vendor that reminds you why our food culture is so strong diverse, intentional, and rooted in community. The jerk chicken was beautifully executed. Smoky, well-marinated, and layered with flavor without being overpowering. It wasn't aggressively spicy or one-dimensional; instead, it had depth, the kind that tells you the seasoning had time to develop. The meat was tender, cooked through, and balanced perfectly between char and juiciness. The rice and peas were equally satisfying -- flavorful enough to stand alone but clearly designed to complement the protein. And the plantains were caramelized just right: soft, sweet, and not overly oily. What really stands out is the care. Nothing felt rushed or generic. As a vendor operation, it would be easy to cut corners but this feels like food made with pride. The Bay Area has no shortage of Caribbean spots, but Jamin Jerk Kitchen holds its own with quality and consistency. This isn't just good jerk, it's thoughtful, well-prepared food served with the kind of warmth and presence that keeps you coming back. Definitely worth seeking out wherever they're posted next.

    So excited to find some authentic Jamaican jerk chicken. Ordered the night before via text. Gave the time I would pick up. Demetrius reached out with the price and met me out front with my food. Jerk Chicken, (two nice thighs), red beans and rice and plantains for only $12.00. Pipping hot and full of that delicious jerk flavor. Can't wait to try his ribs next time. Do yourself a favor and try his food. You won't be disappointed.

    Compliments to Demetrius and Donna for this Master piece. The oxtails are ALWAYS a 10/10. #Tendernism is to be expected. Service is 10/10. PICK UP ONLY. Make sure to order A DAY ahead of time as food is made to order and takes 2hr+ love to create.

    It would be an understatement if I said he put his foot in this, it was amazing, well seasoned and exactly what I needed. Haven't Jamaican food like this ever. Ordered jerk fried fish, not pictured bc i ate it all while it was hot. Rasta pasta and oxtail.

    We are located in Pleasant Hill. We are not a restaurant, but a vendor that specializes in Jamaican Jerk and Jamaican Food Takeout Plates. To order call or text 510-978-1121

    I'm confused by the website. I see pictures of delicious-looking food but no descriptions or prices. When I click on "Order Now", there's just a phone number. Does the person who answers the phone read the entire menu to me?

    I apologize for the inconvenience. I now properly arranged my website to add and display my prices for the customer's convenience of ordering. I hope that you check out my website again to see what dishes you would like to enjoy. Again, I apologize…

The bread pudding might have been the best I've ever had. That sauce was so good!

Oxtail plate - really tasty, heavy on the sides but a little light on the meat. Another piece would've done it for me. I got extra oxtail gravy which was really good to add on to the rice and peas. Jerk ribs - SO DAMN GOOD!!! Great flavor, fall off the bone, I could easily eat more of that. Don't skip it! Pepper shrimp - eh, it was ok I think. My daughter wanted that so I only had one piece of shrimp mixed with some other things on my own plate. I do think there was only maybe 5-6 shrimps. They were a good size, but again, a 2-3 more pieces would've made it perfect. Curry shrimp - I really enjoyed the curry shrimp and I appreciate that they package the curry shrimp separate from the sides that come with the meal. Definitely going to get those again when I return. Escovitch fish - I had never ordered a whole fried fish before so I was excited. I had escovitch fish when I was in Jamaica but it was served not as a whole fish. I thought it was fried well and had good seasoning. I like the pickling too, I ordered extra. I also ordered a beef patty and an oxtail patty but I haven't eaten them yet. Looking forward to it though. Also, the plates came with cabbage. I'm not sure if it was supposed to be cooked, I've seen that and that's what I expected. But what was on the plate was dry bagged salad like you get from the produce section to make Cole slaw. There was no sauce and it was uncooked. Not sure about that. I ordered online so I didn't really get "service" but the woman at the register was kind and had a warm smile. Overall, I can't wait to return. And now that I know what I like, maybe I won't spend quite so much to try everything lol.

With authentic flavors and food items, there's not many like it around town. Bodega serves up food from the Caribbean Islands. One of their most popular dishes is their jerk chicken. They have this both as a chicken wing appetizer and as a plated dinner. I personally really enjoy white meat when it comes to chicken and the dinner plate was leg and thigh so I opted to go with the wing appetizer. My only complaint about it was its size. I thought it could have had more wings as I thoroughly enjoyed each one with the jerk sauce I added to it. The wings were very crisp on the outside and full of flavor. Adding the jerk sauce or their house made hot sauces enhanced the flavor even more. I could really see myself coming just for these wings! I also had the Cubano sandwich. This hot, pressed sandwich has ham, cheese, pickles, and mustard. It's a popular item that also is bursting with flavor. The combination of all the ingredients was mouthwatering. It comes with a side of fries to round out the meal. Service at Bodega was very nice. We found the servers to be very patient with us and the food came out reasonably. I was specifically there for a birthday party where we had cake being served from outside the restaurant. Bodega has a cake cutting charge, but seeing our tiny cake they waived it for us!

Chef Ann more than delivered. Buffet-style food for 60 people came in at around $4k, which if you've looked into wedding catering in the area, is a great deal. We got all of our favorites - doubles, saltfish fritters, goat curry, red snapper, vegetables, and desserts: pone (spiced cassava cake) and mini mango turmeric peach cobblers. Our guests LOVED the food, even those who had never had Trinidadian food before or who generally had less... adventurous palates. I still have dreams about the pone. Chef Ann was a delight to work with. We told her how many people we were expecting and which dishes we were most excited about, and she put together a menu for us and told us how much of each item to order. It came out to a bit more than our guests could eat, but not too much more, and that is WAY better than running out! Chef Ann and her team also provided serving utensils and chafer dishes to keep the food warm, and delivered everything on time, stuck around through the event, and took the chafer dishes back with them at the end of the event.
