Jam-Rock Express Jerk isn't fancy, and honestly, that's part of the charm. It's a small spot, no big signs or trendy decor, just a straightforward setup where you walk in, place your order, and wait for something that smells like someone's been cooking all day just for you. I went with the Jerk Chicken Alfredo, which sounded like an interesting combo and it totally delivered. The Alfredo sauce was creamy and flavorful without being too heavy, and you could tell it was made fresh. It had a nice buttery taste, and there was just enough spice to keep things interesting without overwhelming the whole dish. But the jerk chicken? That was the star. It had a deep, smoky flavor and a heat that built up slowly with each bite, not in a "mouth on fire" way, but enough to remind you it means business. The outside had a good char that added a little crunch, while the inside stayed super tender and juicy. You can tell they know what they're doing with that grill. The bell peppers mixed in were a nice touch, added a bit of crunch and sweetness to balance things out. It's a simple dish, but everything worked together really well. The portion was solid, definitely enough to fill you up and I left full and happy. If you're looking for something flavorful and comforting, especially on a cold day, this is the move. I'll definitely be back. read more

I have been wanting to try this place for a while, and yesterday I finally did. I tried the 1/2 dark jerk chicken, and it came with red beans and rice and mac & cheese. The chicken was really good, I did not add the extra jerk sauce because it already had enough spice. It was cooked perfectly, and very flavorful. I didn't really like the rice and beans a lot. They were really delicious. The mac & cheese was also good. The service was great, everyone was friendly. They keep the restaurant clean. read more

The young man working at the cashier was very nice and courteous. The music was great. I enjoyed the ambiance and listening to old school reggae while eating. The French fries had just the right amount of spice and were delicious. The jerkchicken was absolutely delicious! read more

This place caught my eye as I was headed to Subway. The girl behind the counter was very nice and helped me out with the menu. After paying she mentioned a 20 minute wait. O was on lunch so I didn't have that much time to spare. She tells me to wait a minute. Sure enough my meal was ready in about 10 minutes. I should've known that was too good to be true as my meal was flavorless and bland. Not sure if I'll be back but kudos to the girl behind the counter. read more

Slow as methuselah, you walk in, there is a line, no one at the desk, I guess they are in the back preparing food. Even when they come out they don't recognize the customers by saying hold on I will be right with you. Slow even if you call in an order. I'm not impressed. read more

Ordered from food delivery service and even though I didn't expect it to be hot, when I tasted just a little of the chicken, I could tell it had been reheated day old chicken. Seems some of these jerk restaurants don't want to throw away unsold chicken they try to microwave it and sell it the next day, they can get away with that when it comes to beef (oxtails),but not chicken, I see why they only got 3and half stars overall read more

I've tasted a lot of Jerk food restaurants They all taste the same. They do give you a lot for your money

We had the dark meat lunch special and curried chicken. I enjoyed every bite. Next time I'll try oxtails or curried goat.

I must say that the sides are delicious. The jerk chicken was a 2 out of 10 for me. I ordered jerk chicken dinner and the leg,thigh, wing, breast All were dry. Like the night before dry. Next time I'll ask for fresh chicken. read more

We came across this place by accident because our normal Jerk Chicken spot for lunch was closed. I was not impressed at all. This is not a make to order place. It was mediocre. No flavor. We got the Jerk Chicken Dinner (mixed) and the Jerk Rib Tips, both with cabbage & yams. The jerk sauce was very mild, no kick to it. The rib tips had zero flavor. I don't think they seasoned it at all. The cabbage and yams were good. But overall my meal was okay. Definitely would not go back. The staff was friendly and the service was very fast, so I did give them a star for that. I found this on yelp and read the reviews, not sure if this is under new management or new cook? Because based on reviews I would have thought I went to the wrong place. read more

Jam Rock Express Jerk - Jerk Chicken & Rib Tips with rice & peas, yams & cabbage - Caribbean Near Me - Dixmoor, Illinois

I ordered the escovitch catfish with candied yams & cabbage. The sides were perfect, no complaints whatsoever. The catfish was a tad overdone, but the seasoning was excellent; coupled with the carrots, sweet peppers, onions & garlic, I wanted to order an extra helping for the next day. It's hard to find good Caribbean flavors a lot of places are too heavy on salt, or spice & I really appreciate finding an establishment that can work a little magic with a scotch bonnet pepper. I'm not frequently in the area but this location is worth the drive. Can't wait go venture back. read more

This spot is a ripoff!!! My husband stop there today and ordered me an oxtail lunch special. His total was $19.85. While waiting on the order he noticed that the menu says the price is $14 + tax. When he asked why he was told that the menus were old and hadn't been corrected. How? They made some corrections by hand on the menu. Why didn't they correct that? Times are harder now. I understand that. But, why lie and cheat people out of their money? Why not honor what you have advertised? I WILL NOT RETURN THERE AND I DO NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE PATRONIZE THEM!!! read more

I ordered yesterday on Uber eats. I ordered a white chicken dinner with sweet potato and macaroni and cheese. They gave me dark that was not only flavorless but dry. Sweet potatoes that wasn't sweet and pea and rice that was not tasty .The macaroni was not my favorite but I could deal with it. read more

Good food a lil spicy but good .. I will be returning and great customer service ., clean environment

The food was amazing. I was absolutely surprised. The only reason I didn't give 5 Stats is because the prices on the menu don't match what they'll charge. The honesty need to invest in updated menu's because that does leave you wondering if someone's pocketing what you're being overcharged. The customers that are recommending people to try the food shouldn't have to warn future customers about the sudden increase. Make it look like another black business on some scheming mess. Just update the menus because the food is worth it. read more

Quick review on the poor customer service. I walked in a stood there about 2 minutes while the guy in the back sat and watched me. I was never greeted so I left! After leaving I turned around and what do you know the guy came to the front, but I continued on my way. read more

We ordered here for a party we were attending, everyone had to bring a different food from a different country. We were on our way home from Michigan so I just googled Jamaican food and chose this place based off of Yelp reviews. Wasn't disappointed! We ordered a pan of the jerk wings and a pan of the plantains. Both were delicious! They were a hit! The person that took my order was really helpful and when we got there for pick up they were really friendly as well. Would definitely use them again. read more

I wanted to order French fries, plantains and white chicken and they had non of that. I call over an hour before they closed. I had to order something completely different and when I drove 20ish minutes to pick it up it was closed 30 minutes before the time it says it was closing. read more

We order takeout from Jam Rock whenever we're in town and they never disappoint. Delicious food and large helpings.

Best Jamaican food I've had by far. I had the jerk chicken & curried goat dinner with rice & beans, cabbage & plantains. Everything was absolutely delicious! It's a little on the pricey side but they give you a lot of food so it's well worth it. read more
