A great lunch visit today at Reggae Jerk and Bar! They have a large menu of traditional favorites and some new creations to tempt your taste buds. Friendly crew will help you decide and will add extra gravy if requested. We knew that one of our favorite dishes was the Brown Stew Chicken, peas and rice, cabbage and sweet plantains, so we decided to share a large portion of each with extra Brown gravy. Plenty of delicious tender chicken and great accompanying sides! TING to drink rounded off our Jamaican lunch meal choice. Service is fast and friendly and plenty of parking in this strip center on the East side of Jog Road read more

Reggae Jerk - Ordering at counter - Caribbean Near Me - Greenacres, Florida

I wanted to find a local Jamaican spot that had a great and affordable lunch menu. I found it with Reggae Jerk. I stopped in and when I ordered, the cashier had no idea what the Yelp Check in of $5.99 lunch was. I had to show her several times and explain it to her for her to honor the price. It usually is $6.99 for a lunch plate and it comes with a bottle of water. A great steal! I enjoyed the curry chicken with white rice and cabbage. There is a lot of white rice to chicken ratio but it was an amazing lunch. I also liked how fast the food was ready - probably about 5 minutes after I ordered they called my name. read more

Reggae Jerk - Caribbean Near Me - Greenacres, Florida

Passed by this little hole in the wall joint looking for a quick meal for my wife and I. After placement of order and money exchanged was told 15 minutes. Hour and half later I was able to finally get my sub par jerk chicken with lousy sides and get the hell down the road. In the mean time 2 dozen other customers ordered and got taken care of while I cooked my heels. The mistake was obvious from jump street down pay in cash and definitely not in advance.As far as the food goes the chicken was a 6.7 the rice needed real coconut milk and the side of cabbage was the poorest example I have had anywhere. read more

I usually come from pretty far just to get this authentic Jamaican food, and in the past, it's been worth it. The last couple of visits were just okay, but this time I was honestly disappointed. My chicken was cold, the cabbage was barely cooked, and the patties were overcooked and dry. What made it more frustrating is that the place wasn't even busy, so there wasn't really an excuse for the drop in quality. I really hope this was just an off day, because I've had some good meals here before -- but this visit missed the mark. read more

I find myself craving reggae jerk often! I do not live in the area, but will always make a stop if I am around. I'm not lying when I say these are some of the best oxtail I've ever had! read more

So good, so friendly, great parking. I come twice a week, but I should have had the fried Snapper tonight. Place is packed till 4AM on the weekends. I highly recommend it. read more

This is a very legit jerk joint. You can't use "shack" because that screams sand and ocean and this joint is miles inland in a strip mall. The taste can bring a beautiful day in Jamaica to memory though. The food was excellent. Well prepared and perfect spice. The festival was real deal. Most of the people that were coming in were Jamaican. Always a good sign when people come looking for a taste of home. The dining space is very basic fast food high-top. Clean but not attractive or inviting. Likewise, takeaway plates and plastics don't give staying in much joy, unless you don't live nearby. You want this food hot. Low top tables and even a plastic checkered tablecloth or two would help this place's dine-in mojo hugely. Service was very pleasant and kind. It's not like Althea's place, now long gone, that was on the 150 restaurants to eat before you die, that was nearby. It's very businesslike and arms-length. A little Island warmth of spirit for guests not from Jamaica might make for a more crowded place. Parking is easy and ample in their lot. read more

Reggae Jerk - Ackee and rice? Oh so nice! - Caribbean Near Me - Greenacres, Florida

Pretty good food and reasonable price. Never disappointed. I have ordered from here at least 8 times it more.

A bit out of the way for us, but worth a try. I tried the Curry Chicken with cabbage, plantain, red beans and rice. Curry had great flavor, however, my pieces of chicken had very little meat for a medium order. Cabbage not cooked, crunchy and cold...more like salad. One piece of plantain. Rice was ok. My friend's oxtail was full of flavor and meaty. When I approached counter, service person took a call order instead of waiting on me. Could've put them on hold while, me, the customer was in front of you. Will probably stay in our area next time. read more

Reggae Jerk - Curry Chicken - Caribbean Near Me - Greenacres, Florida

Delicious and good home style Jamaican food. I have a background in Carribean cuisine, since my parents are from Haiti. Truly I can say this food hits the spot especially being around many Jamaicans from Miami ( miramar) area. I've come to have good taste for true Jamaican food. This place is it, very good spices on the Jerky chicken and the lunch specials are second to none. read more

Food was not amazing patties where trash this place is a most def pass won't be back I tried but they need to talk to chef and the staff wasn't that attentive read more

Looking for some good, local & hearty Caribbean food? Look no further. This close by Jamaican spot always hits the spot when I want some jerk chicken, ox-tail, patties or something new to try. Also have some island brews, hot soups and other popular cultural treats! read more

It's an average Jamaican Food spot, I had the brown stew chicken, the gravy was thick, the chicken was a bit smoker than what I expected, the favor was good on the chicken and rice and peas. The meal comes with cabbage which is good but served room temp. My boyfriend ordered the curry shrimp and rice, it didn't come like the menu said, but similar and seasoned well. The venue was decent, clean and typical store front restaurant. They offer a variety of Caribbean drinks and side dishes. The Staff was ok, straight to the point and not that welcoming but average. They played a bit of music in the background and they had a few televisions for viewing. It wasn't too crowded they have bar style, high top and table style seating. It's not bad but it's not amazing either. read more

Flavor was on point, ordered to go. Ordered small curry chicken plate. When I got home I was sad to find such a small portion of chicken. The plate was full to the top with rice and the sauce gave it the illusion of meat but sadly the lack of actual meat through off the price to product ratio for me. read more

Best stewed chicken around. Ready quick. Great portion sizes. They had Jamaican soccer on the in the restaurant witch was nice.

Best Jamaican place! Great prices and service. I got the rice and peas with fried chicken. The sauce is great. read more

Reggae Jerk - a styrofoam meal in a styrofoam container - Caribbean Near Me - Greenacres, Florida

Food was great but didn't have anything left that I really wanted when I got there. Service wasn't so great. Got ignored a bit then in the midst of ordering got interrupted by another employee. Took their sweet precious time on getting back to me so they can complete taking my order. Would I order from there again. Yes lol. Guess that's all that matters these days. read more

Customer service is horrible. Pick up service needs improvement. Food is great however. They need to do a better job at taking orders over phone and letting you know when your food is ready!! read more

the one time i stray away from Curleys Caribbean Flava i am met with cold chicken, not made to order (was surprised with no wait time) , flavorless gravy and an overpriced meal. save urself the hassle and go 1.9 miles up the road to curleys where the chicken falls off the bone and the service is unmatched. read more

The service is awful. No matter how many people are behind the counter, the order will not be taken properly. Be prepared to state your order 4-5 times and it will STILL BE INCORRECT. And there will always be a long wait. And they do not honor the times posted on the door. Prices are good and food is tasty; but the service sucks. I will pay more for good service. read more

The real deal! This small unassuming restaurant is in a strip of stores on the east side of Jog road before you come to Forrest hill as you drive north. If you are a fan of Jamaican fare, you will appreciate how great they are. If you want to learn and sample the island flavors, come here. We've done a bit of travel through the islands so we are familiar with Caribbean food. I've been taking my husband away to a different island every year for his birthday. And in south Florida, we have a few favorite places that serve similar. They do a big takeout business. People were lined up to place orders, but not many tables were taken when we came by for a late lunch. We sat at the counter. The menu is on the wall and entrees are separated by the type of meat (chicken, pork, seafood, etc.). They also have soups, salads, and a few deserts. Soup of the day, too. There are big screen TVs on the walls and A British soccer game was in full view. That's the sports bar part of the venue... Help yourself to a drink from the cooler -- everything from ting to ginger beer. And place your order at the counter (for faster service). Because they assumed we were doing takeout, our food was served in a box along with plastic ware. I ordered their brown stewed chicken and peas & rice as my side. You also get a piece of fried plantain and veggies -- sautéed green cabbage mixed with a few carrots, peas, a green bean or two. The rice was mixed together with their "peas" (what we call red beans). The star of the meal was the rich brown flavorful "lick the plate" brown sauce covering the pieces of chicken. The chicken has bones, so you find your self starting out to eat with the fork. The chicken falls off the bones in shreds. And then picking up each piece by hand to get all the last bits of meat and sauce. It's a healthy size serving -- you won't leave hungry. Thanks Yelp. We never would have found this place otherwise. Will we be back. Oh yeah!! (Should I say "Ya Mon!"?) Can't wait to try their oxtail... read more

Holy yum chicken in ox tail sauce. Yes please again& again!!! The rice & beans were light & held the flavor of sauces nicely. Definitely going back to try the soup read more

Best food ever. Last night fish fry was excellent. Big up to Taneisha and Spragga. Food stay on point. The steam fish with shrimp, sautéed with okra and bammy and some good scotch bonnet pepper was excellent. The DJ did his thing with the music from old school to current music. Great vibe and customer service. read more

Oxtail and curry chicken was very good. Some of the best Jamaican food around. Have been back several time and will continue to be a repeat customer read more

I have been to this location 3x, the 3rd visit will be my last. I stopped here on 4/17 @ approximately 10:05p The sign on the door was illuminated "Open" I interrupted this to mean they're open for business. I walked in, the lady (Ms. D) behind the counter had this look on her face, not a pleasant one at that. I asked what was available, she replied " we're closed, only oxtails are available". I decided get the oxtails for my aunt who was not feeling well & too tired to drive. I asked if plantains were available, (Ms. D) replied "NO, YOU DON'T SEE WERE CLOSED! I had to advise Ms. D the sign on the door says otherwise, if you're closed turn off the damn open sign & lock the door, simple! I also advise Ms. D that if I'm a bother or nuisance I can go elsewhere. She gave me this fake smile and said I'm not a bother, the food they have is limited at this time of night, which I understand. I guess it was a long day & her feet are probably tired & needed soaking from being on them all day. TO THE OWNER: This may or may not even be taken seriously, however; plenty of our small BLACK owned businesses go under when we don't support them, based on the treatment described above, I certainly understand why. This establishment will not see my money again, hopefully others who have received this level of service will follow suit, no money, no business, people think & behavior changes. read more

I felt like I was cheating on Curly's Caribbean but I'm glad I did. The food in this place is really, really good. They offer fresh baked Jamaican patties. I'm telling you, once you've had fresh patties you can't go back to frozen. I mean fresh out of the oven, it's so hot you can barely hold it in your hand, melt in your mouth GOOD. They also offered peanut porridge which was a first and very delicious experience for me. Their ackee and salt fish was on point, the oxtail is out of this world. You can't go wrong with anything you try here. Now for the service. I alway wait when I come here even though I call ahead. Whenever I call in an order they're always very pleasant and make sure to read back the order to get it right but still, I wait. I guess you can't Rush good food. read more

I've gone here twice but only because I had forgotten I had gone here before and I didn't like it or else I wouldn't have ordered a second time. Once I called and spoke to whoever was there that night I remembered why I didn't like it. After I ate the food I remembered why it was a forgetful place. I called to make sure they were opened so it wasn't a total waste. Phone rang and someone picked up except they didn't say anything so I said hello. Woman on the line said "yeah." Ok..I asked what time they closed and she said whatever time I don't recall and I said ok thanks. She didn't say anything and just hung up the phone. Rude AF. Got there and the sign for the restaurant is off. Odd. Don't know if it's broken or they just have it off. Went in and I ordered jerk chicken with rice and peas and my husband started to order jerk pork but before he can even say it she hollered at him "WE NUH AV DAT" well arrrrright den miss lady . Got my food and we left. Got home and was so hungry I didn't even care that my food tasted like charred coconut branches smothered in jerk sauce ‍. Long story short, food is overrated. Customer service needs some improvement. You don't even ask your customers what they want on their food (do I want oxtail gravy on my rice ? Stew ? Plantains? Veggies?) sides?) you have a sour, stink face like that's the first thing i wanna see upon entering your establishment. Be a little nicer maybe you'll have more customers. read more

Horrible food. Ordered Jerk chicken, and instead of just saying they were out, they gave me fried chicken, with jerk sauce. Overall Mediocre rice, mediocre oxtail. read more

Be careful paying at this place. I was there May 20, at around 6.40pm and ordered a small size oxtail meal, nothing extra. He said $9.25 and I confirmed, gave him my credit card, which I always get notifications when I use my card. But I didn't have my phone with me at that moment. Once home, I ate, food was good though, but I didn't check my phone until 9pm and I was shocked to see a charge of $19.25 for that size meal. I would have never bought it for that price. I thought about going the next day to speak to manager, but then I realized I had no receipt to proof, and I remember the cash register isn't facing customers, I guess so we can't see what they charge?Lesson learned and i Will Never order from them again! Treat customers right so they come back instead of a one time deal !! read more

The food was okay overall. I ordered the jerk chicken which was delicious but the slaw was definitely not on point. The customer service is actually the reason for the missing additional two stars. The two employees were on their phone doing some internet stuff and really not attentive to me. Wasn't a welcoming environment at all. I got better customer service in McDonald's drive thru. Might be cool to stop by here and there, more there time. After reading all these great reviews, I was disappointed. read more

We went into Reggae Jerk from out of town after finding out that the restaurant we wanted to go to wasn't open. We were tired & stressed & ready to be disappointed BUT WOW we're we surprised! My husband had the large oxtail & I ordered the large jerk chicken & then, of course, I spied the chocolate rum cake on the counter & insisted on a slice of that as well! We topped off our meals with a Red Stripe & Jamaican Cream Soda for my husband. We decided to eat in & found out that this was a good decision because the jovial atmosphere of both the staff & patrons watching the World Cup game (Iran v Morocco) put us in the relaxed mood we needed to be in for our 2 hr ride home. What a great group of people! We joined right in & felt right at home! Now for the food, it was nothing short of A-MAZING!!! The oxtail was succulent, the sauce was awesome & the portions were perfect for two people to share; just enough to share & take some home for lunch the next day. The chicken was also very good, cooked perfectly & the flavor was really impeccable both dishes were served with the traditional peas & rice & cabbage. So good! We are so happy we "accidentally" went there because we found a new favorite place to stop on our way to our appointments in Miami! Thanks Reggae Jerk! read more

Simply good authentic food from back a yard. It's always good when you go to a restaurant for the first time and it does not disappoint. The owners were gracious and engaged is good conversation, overall, we loved the place. read more

OMG! Are you kidding me! Chicken jerk is out of this world. I'm only sad that I'm here on business & can't eat this all the time. I'll be back next week with 2 of my coworkers & I can't WAIT to go back. read more

Authentic Jamaican food for a great price. Fresh hot food is always served. They have lunch specials and different sizes to choose from.
