We traveled to Las Vegas from the Bay Area for my son's wedding, and after the celebration, he brought the wedding party to eat here. The food was absolutely amazing! The jerk chicken was packed with flavor, perfectly seasoned, and cooked just right. Everyone in our group enjoyed their meals, and the portions were generous. The service was friendly, and the overall experience was excellent. This was one of the highlights of our trip, and we're so glad we had the opportunity to eat here. If you're in Las Vegas and looking for authentic, delicious food, I highly recommend this place. We will definitely visit again the next time we're in town! read more

Closed do not bother to stop in here. No one there no signage wasted our time to try to eat oxtail

Let me start by saying that my intentions were to purchase 3 to 4 plates; but their method of payment was cash and Zelle temporarily. So I was only able to try the Jerk Chicken plate. The chicken and sauce was very flavorful and well seasoned with a spicy smoky taste. The chicken is not grilled on a pit, but has a smoky taste. Tender, served on a bed of rice and peas and a side of cabbage mixed with mixed vegetables, that were green beans, corn, and lima beans. I'm not sure if they were out of plantains, but that was not on my plate. I was looking forward to it. I really enjoyed my meal and I will have to come back to purchase other dishes. The service was fast and friendly. I'm looking forward to seeing the place after the renovations are done. (They are open during renovations.) (ask about the weekly and monthly specials.) I hope that they brighten up their sign on the outside of the restaurant and also make the view of the restaurant bright at night so it does not look like it's closed in the evening . It's so dark at night...If I had not known that the restaurant was really open, I would have gone home just by looking at it because it looked like it was closed. I also heard someone in the restaurant say the same thing. The Chef said that he will continue specials each month. And I advise that you call ahead of time to find out if the methods of payment are still temporarily limited before you get there. Nobody wants to see potential business walk away if they only had a credit card or even drive past because they thought that a restaurant was really closed. I'm looking forward to coming back to see how the place is coming along; and to try other entrées on his ever expanding menu. Bottom line...... Great food, great people and a great renovation in the works. I'm looking forward to doing a follow up review with a higher score. read more

Very disappointing experience, especially after driving over 30 minutes specifically to try this restaurant. I had seen several negative reviews on TikTok mentioning poor customer service. Many of the reviews also mentioned that they were frequently out of food items and did not always maintain consistent business hours. We decided not to judge the restaurant based on those reviews and wanted to give it a fair chance for ourselves. Because of the concerns about their hours and food availability, I specifically called before making the drive. I called right at 1:00 PM when they opened because we were coming from out of town and wanted to make sure they were open and had food available. I was told they were open and that the only thing they were out of was brown stew chicken. Based on that information, we made the 30+ minute drive and arrived around 3:20 PM. Once we arrived, we ordered a beef patty and were then told they were out of those as well. We decided to place our food order anyway. When it was time to pay, we were told they only accepted Cash App, Zelle, or cash. Thankfully, I had cash with me. Our bill was $51, and I gave them $60. A few minutes later, I was told they did not have any change. To be clear, any one of these things by itself would not necessarily be a terrible experience. Restaurants run out of certain menu items. Credit card machines go down. Sometimes businesses may have an unexpected issue with making change. Things happen, and I understand that. The problem is when all of these things happen together, especially after a customer has gone out of their way to call ahead specifically to avoid those exact issues. We drove over 30 minutes based on the information we were given, only to arrive and find that additional menu items were unavailable and that there was no change available for cash payments. At that point, the entire experience became extremely frustrating. We spent well over an hour of our day on a trip that could have been avoided if we had simply been given accurate information when I called ahead. I completely understand that things can happen in a restaurant, but communication and consistency matter. If multiple menu items are unavailable, payment options are limited, and there are ongoing issues with business hours, those things should be communicated to customers, especially when someone takes the time to call ahead before making a long drive. We genuinely wanted to give this place a fair chance despite the negative reviews we had already seen. Unfortunately, our experience ended up reflecting many of the same concerns mentioned in those reviews. I also hate to say this because I really wanted to support the restaurant, but experiences like this unfortunately contribute to the negative stigma that some people have about Black-owned businesses when it comes to consistency, communication, and customer service. I don't believe that stigma is fair or representative of Black-owned businesses as a whole, which is exactly why I was disappointed to have this experience reinforce it rather than challenge it. I really wanted to support the restaurant and have a good experience, but this was a major disappointment. Unfortunately, I would not make the drive back. read more

They will charge you ten bucks to sub a side dish. My order went from 33$ to 44$ just for mac and cheese.

Elijah & Tina, have been bringing the heat for 7 years, and it shows. We devoured the jerk chicken plate (2 for $22? Yes, please!), the flavorful tacos, and the curry chicken, which was an amazing fusion of Indian and Caribbean flavors. Each dish was bursting with authentic spices and made with love. If you're looking for real Jamaican flavors in Vegas, Jerk Dat is a MUST. Whether you're a local or just visiting, this spot is a true taste of the Caribbean. read more

The food here is sooooo good, genuinely some of the best grits I've had in a long time. Everything was so full of flavor and some of the best Jamaican I've had on the west coast. Just damn good food read more

Just happen to be driving by and thought I would go in. What a waste to time. It was my first time there so I was looking at the menu. The woman says, are you going to order something? Yes, but I need to look first. When I placed my order, well it's 4:30pm and she says she only has the most expensive things on the menu. Which was extremely limited. Basically, there was nothing. I will not be going back because I can only wonder if the food is as bad as her attitude? read more

Elijah & the girls were so welcoming! They took amazing care of my family. Such great hospitality & service. So much love & laughter. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a good plate of ox tails & more! We'll be back & will definitely be sending everyone their way! read more

So I order through Uber eats and when I got my food!!!!!! 2 thinly sliced pieces of oxtail. This was a large order. So what does a small look like??? NO MEAT? I'm working on getting my money back. I spent 109.00 with them and this was terrible after a very long day. Beware of these small containers. I would never advise anyone to order from them. I grew up on Jamaican food and I have no idea what nationality they are because this is not right. I feel like I was robbed. Seriously. I had to take the time to right this because it was that bad. The cabbage looked totally different in each container. How is this. I feel like the people need to pay them a visit because this food is not right. Unbelievable they gave me the last and bottom of the pot. Foolery.no starts. You lucky you got 1! read more

We arrived in Vegas and headed straight for our favorite spot for some oaxtail eggrolls and jerk chicken pasta. We found out that the Jerk Dat Seafood Bar & Grill location @ 4375 West Desert Inn Rd, was PERMANENTLY CLOSED. We searched and found Jerk Dat on 4734 East Flamingo Rd, Paradise. We were hoping that this would have the same owner and boy were we blessed. Upon arriving they were about to close for the night. The owner recognized us, gave us a big hug and invited us into the restaurant. Although, he had worked over 12 hrs that day and looked very tired. He made us an amazing meal and sat with us to converse while we ate NOTE: Make sure to get there early because they do run out of some food and drink items. read more

Tacos were extremely small....steak were underwhelming. The jerk nachos were like stale stand concession nachos ..tasted like nachos were warmed up with chicken on top...definitely heard a microwave ..topped with jalapeños, cold cheese, and barely any jerk chicken. The food tastes how the establishment smells. Sorrel wasn't good and barely options as far as food only on certain days. Im Jamaican and originally from the east coast...guess mi grandmadda and aunty spoiled me suh! Service wasn't too friendly so I assumed this would be amazing. read more

Was in the area recently and looking for some food, Jerk Dat sits unassumingly in a shopping center complex. As my team and I entered, we were greeted with a smile and a welcome. Walk up counter service, this is traditional Jamaican cuisine. Very good, rich, flavorful and just good food. Ordered the Oxtail and Chicken with traditional sides and it was so good, and so authentic it made me feel as though I was back in St. Ann. Such an enjoyable and relaxed meal we all left happy and full Definitely worth a stop and support 4.5 Stars rounded up for the great family feel 00884 read more

Jerk Dat - great food... - Caribbean Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I received a cooked rat from this place. Let me explain: I had ordered chicken and ribs using Uber Eats. I ordered from a place called Fox Smokehouse Barbeque @4734 E. Flamingo, LV,NV 89121, but Fox Smokehouse Barbeque is not at this address. Somehow, Jerk Dat fulfilled my order, and I got chicken pieces that were circular and one piece, after close inspection, had a small rib cage. I did not recognize any parts as chicken, and I frequently eat chicken. At this point, I don't know how my order got mixed up in the first place but at least give me back my money!!! read more

It was three of us that went on a Friday around 1:00 pm. I paid $42 for an oxtail and jerk chicken plate. All of us hated the chicken that seemed like scraps and they only gave a small portion of the oxtails. They were sold out of a lot of options including the patties. I would probably never return, there are other better options. read more

Omg! That chickenA so good! Yes, spicey, but you just can't stop! Flavors are so good!

The prices and portion sizes. Got the audacity to charge 30 something dollars for a half jerk chicken and oxtails platter. Mind you it comes with 3 oxtails and a chicken quarter which is a thigh and drum stick connected. So then I asked what does a jerk chicken platter come with... one chicken leg, quarter rice and peas and cabbage. Again one chicken leg quarter does not fill up most people are you kidding me and you have the nerve to be charged in 20 something dollars. I do not recommend this place. I don't care how good the food is. read more

Did you drive by? TURN AROUND!!!! This place will have you moving to Jamaica tomorrow!!!!! The food is the best you will find in all of Vegas!! The service is unmatched in all of Vegas!! The ambience takes you home. I was Vegan when I walked in. Oxtails. That's all I have to say. They are the most buttery melt in your mouth culprits I've ever come across.

I was extremely excited to eat here as I have tried many different Jamaican restaurants and have been extremely satisfied, but this restaurant, sad to say I could not give a great review. Prices raised to about $24/plate and as shown in the photos, not worth the price at all. The meats were sitting in the burner, which made the proteins extremely dry, the plantains were sitting out, uncovered and did not look fresh at all, but was still served. Flavors were there, but for the rate it is charged, i would expect the quality and cleanliness to be the same as the other great Jamaican family owned restaurants I've tried. I wish i could leave a better review, but the best feedback I would share with the owner is, as a customer's stand point, the quality and portion served, should match the price charged on the menu. I felt completely taken advantage of with the sudden price change and the food that was sold to me. read more

Jerk Dat is DAT SPOT. I get the oxtails, peas & rice, cabbage and plantain. Sooooo delicious! The service is great, the staff is very pleasant, friendly and attentive. The Chef came out to ensure our visit was going well and thanked us for coming, I love the interest showed in the customers. The restaurant is very clean with red, green, and yellow walls and different flags hanging from the ceiling. I love that they have reggae playing for the customers listening pleasure. Forgive me for not posting a pic of my plate, as I waited all to come here, so I blessed my food and dug in! Charge it to my taste buds and stomach...not my heart. If you are in Las Vegas, stop in Jerk Dat at 4734 E. Flamingo Rd. They close at 8p..."You're welcome!" read more

DO KOT COME HERE IF YOUR VISITING , they do not like visitors or content creators Lady was so rude and demoralizing after I drove 25min to attempt to try an authentic Caribbean restaurant, I was just missing home and wanted a little taste of some comfort but honestly it was the worst experience I have ever had. I waited at least 15-20min just to be greeted When my food order was placed the portions are not worth the $45 I spent you are better off just going to Bahama breeze for the customer service. I Sincerely DO NOT RECOMMEND! @bambiiidahhgoat is my tiktok and YouTube review will be up read more

Okay, I have to admit that my in-laws are Caribbean, so I've most certainly had some very tasty homemade Caribbean food! Especially by the grandparents. So my expectations here at Jerk Dat were pretty high, because I'm used to very authentic food made in this style. This is a small but cozy little restaurant in a shopping plaza. The staff were very welcoming, but also very focused on just taking care of customers. They were all working very hard and quickly to take care of a large demand of customers when I was there. I ordered the Salmon meal, which takes at least 20 mins, and my friends ordered the Oxtail with a side of chicken Patty. The rice, cabbage, oxtail & Salmon were very very flavorful!! The oxtail & cabbage were my favorite! Every bite had plenty of seasoning and flavor! Definitely worth the visit! read more

They have great food , you're just very limited on options. The is a mom and pop spot so don't expect the best decor . I would recommend

EVERYTHING! You must try the latest location on Desert Inn and Arville ( this is where you'll even run into the CEO as well ), and even take a photo or two in front of the famous Jerk Dat backdrop! Everyone is friendly and welcoming the moment you walk inside of the restaurant. If you are in the mood for something creamy and tasty perhaps you should start by ordering the Lobster Mac & Cheese and a side of Oxtail eggrolls ( don't forget to ask for the dipping sauce ) ...- They even have oxtail fried rice NO ONE and I do mean NO ONE in Las Vegas has oxtail egg rolls or oxtail fried rice so that in itself should tell you that this place is the GO-TO for authentic Jamaican cuisine read more
