    Jerk Chicken over white rice
    Valentine B.

    First of all, to have this type of gem locally is amazing! Rude Jerk is serving up savory, smoky, and flavorful dishes that truly hit the spot. The jerk chicken was tender and packed with bold Caribbean flavor. The rice and peas were fluffy, well-seasoned, and paired perfectly with the meal. The chicken patties were flaky and filled with that rich, bold Caribbean flavor that reminds you of the Jamaican dishes you crave. My only feedback is to plan accordingly because they do sell out of items quickly. Nonetheless, the service was nice, timely, and everything was made to order. Definitely worth checking out!

    Oxtail Stew
    Tom P.

    Love Jamican Food. We ordered two items. oxtail strew. It was one of the best we had at a restaurant. We also had jerk chicken. The jerk chicken was cooked on a outdoor bbq. However I feel what we got was overcooked and dry. Definitely would not get jerk chicken there again. Also had the corn fritters and ours was dense. Maybe it just was not mixed properly that day. Ae far ae jerk chicken the lady next to me was enjoying hers. I'm sure it can be hard to consistently cook all chicken same on the grill and I jusy happen to get the overcooked chicken. Wife loved the oxtail stew so 4 stars for that. Did not expect small dinning area. As far as service we got our food in good time. Maybe Ontario is better. Well see.......

    Drew and the staff were super helpful. Items will sell out towards the end of day. Get there! Food is super delicious.

    I was in the area ( area meaning Menifee) and was hungry. I took a little drive up the 215 and headed to Perris. I got there close to 12, I believe they open at 11:30. Customer service was good. I ordered the Jerk Chicken entree. You get to chose your rice and a side. I got rice and peas and Rasta pasta. It was ready in less than 5 minutes. I was going to sit and eat it there but they automatically bagged it up. Welp... now I had to wait til I got home. I will say the serving is generous. Generous on the chicken and rice. My plate also came with 1 little lonely plantain haha. Chicken was good and omg the smoke flavor from the bbq. It's been a minute since I've tasted anything from a grill. That alone had me doing the happy dance. The jerk has slight heat, and was finger licking good ;-). The chicken is chopped up whole chicken so be careful of some bones here and there. I liked the rice and peas and drizzled some jerk sauce on it which made it better to me. The Rasta Pasta was just ok. They didn't give me enough to really judge it'. It needed a dab more seasoning for me. Oh and that plantain was tired.. it had to go. It definitely wasn't freshly made, tasted like a left over piece, or it wasn't ripe enough. All I know was it was dry and tough. Would I recommend them, absolutely and I plan on coming back when I'm in the "area"

    Was in the area picking up my daughter's bf from train station and decided to try this place out, since I've been craving some Jamaican food! Definitely worth it. Service was ok. Very small place. Drove the food 30 minutes home it was still warm and absolutely delicious.

    Oxtail Plate with Yams
    Omena A.

    I can't believe I'd not already did a review! I visited on Valentines and it was in the mid afternoon. It wasn't crowded at all but supplies limited. I recall this because I live about 3 hours away, searching for restaurants in the area I was visiting, the excitement and skepticism to see a Jamaican spot.. I wanted everything! Unfortunately, there was a party that called in a catering order (that day) and purchased ALL the patties. So that was a disappointment... BUT.. I had the oxtail plate with the yams and yes ma'am!!! Tore that plate down. And I eats Jamaican food, from Jamaica to the states. I was very happy with the quality, size and price was decent as well. I'm only mad I don't have them closer to me! Now, contrary to my boyfriend who had the Jerk chicken plate with the Rasta pasta. The pasta 10/10 but the jerk was ok. I believe the way the chicken was cut, the bones shattered so there were shards of bones while he was trying to eat it. Also, we had to buy a ton of the jerk sauce. A ton. He says 4.5-5/10.

    Jerk Chicken

    First off, the portion sizes were on point. I was shocked at how much food I received. I ordered a side of your chicken and a side of steamed veggies and I couldn't even finish it all. That's a good starting point. The steamed veggies - everyone has steamed veggies. They're all made pretty similar yet These were the best veggies I think I've ever had. Idk ‍ , they were steamed veggies, but the flavor and texture was jumping out of my bowl. I really enjoyed the jerk chicken as well. I loved the char on my chicken and it had a nice jerk barbecue sauce with it. Hands down this was one of the better Jamaican meals I've had in the I.E. I'll definitely be back to try other stuff now. I would recommend you try other things as well.

    Rasta Pasta and Oxtail with white rice with a side of plantains
    Jo Ann G.

    Stopped by to pick up an order of Rasta Pasta and an Oxtail plate with white rice and I enjoyed every bite!!! The oxtail was that "fall off the bone" kind of yum!!! The staff here are pleasant and quick with service. The store was busy when I stopped by early evening, the parking was almost full and designated for the surrounding businesses. Dining area is limited but I am sure that if they expand at some point, they would definitely increase their sales!! Many people waiting on their orders. This store stayed busy yet seemed well maintained. It would not be spacious enough to accommodate large groups but don't let that be the reason to miss out on their food! Definitely a place for that tasty Jamaican food you will crave for every now and then!

    This place is amazing!! I drove from Riverside to come check this place out, called in my order, and within 10 mins it was ready. The jerk chicken plate was amazing, the sides were delish, the plantains were 10/10, and so were the steamed veggies. They have lots of good options for drinks too! Next time I come back, definitely want to try the oxtails. It's hard to come by authentic Jamaican food in the IE, so i highly recommend to come check this place out!!

    Rude Jerk Jamaican Kitchen located in Perris California takes on a unique twist into introducing Jamaican cuisine into the public and into the world. Im filipino and my culture loves the oxtail especially in our kare kare but the oxtail at Rude Jerk Jamaican kitchen takes it to another level. The menu kinda caters to all and then some. If you see my photos I had wings, oxtail plate with rice and beans, plaintains, rasta pasta (delicious), and a Sorrel Slushie. Being out here in California I dont think I ever been in a Jamaican store front before that sold food so anytime and every time I see Jamaican food being sold I am 100% sold so Rude Jerk is it! From Jerk Chicken, chicken and beef patties , curry and much more what can you ask for! Location for sitting down is not that great so if you try to get intimate with someone this place aint it other than you taking food to dine out or have some me time like me and sit in a little ol table by yourself and write a review. Service is top notch and how food is delivered out to you is superb. I witnessed them handle and diffuse a situation with a needy customer and service is top quality. Overall my oxtail plate was super delicious...spice was good and flavor was off the wall. I love me with oxtail that has meat and not fatty. The protein and rice ratio was plenty. If you are ever in Perris make sure this is your first stop!

    A wah yuh deh pan ?!? Waahhh ggwwaannnnn So yes !!! This place gets my stamp of approval!! I ordered a party tray of jerk chicken that was very decently priced, I was hoping it was going to be good and it didn't disappoint. I'm beyond EXCITED to see my kinda ppl with a restaurant near by ( closest was Colton ) so to see a Jamaican restaurant open in Perris was very exciting!! The place is small and reminds me of typical jerk huts you'd see in states with more West Indian ppl buttt let's get into the food ! The food definitely has the flavor, the spicy level feel like they may be catering a little for the local as in don't want to kill dem wit peppa so the scotch bonnet might not be there like you typically see bbuuttt that doesn't change the food is very good I've been back to try their: Curry goat 9/10 ( missing the heat I'm use to ) Brown stew. 10/10 Beef Pattie 10/10 Overall definitely worth the visit and I'll beck!!! Friendly service and good food !!

    Came here craving jerk chicken and this spot did not disappoint. Grabbed the oxtail plate, jerk chicken plate, and some beef patties. The jerk chicken; smoky, spicy, slightly sweet and it came with peas and rice. The oxtail plate is really good, super tender and flavorful. Id stop by again!

    We had an intimate birthday dinner celebration for a friend, chef Greg made this dinner a pleasure…read morefrom start to finish!! First the food!! it was delicious, each dish featured multiple flavors playing off one another, in a complex but not overwhelming way. The food is restaurant quality, and the authentic Jamaican flavors are just half the story, chef Greg takes a simple dish like red pea soup and he turns it into an edible piece of art. Of all the dishes that he cooked for us, I would say that his homemade stew pork with mashed potatoes was my favorite. But each dish was delicious! The Jerk chicken, rice and peas, with cabbage, the shrimp linguine, beef stew and red wine, festivals, and the bbq wings. I highly recommend chef Greg's authentic Jamaican cuisine.

    Wow wow wow!! Generous portion sizes. Friendly and timely service. Spicesss galore. Considerate…read morepackaging. All in all a hidden gem and in my opinion one of the best Jamaican spots in Cali! I ordered the oxtails, island shrimp, beef patties, brown stew chicken and curry chicken. Every meal comes with plastic silverware and 4 sides: plantains, a hefty serving of rice-reallyyyy flavorful- festivals, and salad. Every.single.thing.was amazing even the sides were cooked well, my personal favorite was the oxtail and shrimp! If you want authentic Jamaican food give Greg's kitchen a visit you won't regret it, he cooks with love and you can taste it in each bite. I devoured the brown stew chicken way too fast and forgot to get a photo lol. I will definitely order more while in the IE.

    Absolutely amazing food I still think about it to this day! I ordered fufu and a soup I don't…read moreremember but it was amazing (i got beef tho and it was a little tough). I don't have much to say about the service but it was average (average is nice though). I ate in the mall, it was quiet and empty because it was pretty late. The price was a little over what I like to pay for but the food is memorable. First time trying fufu, great experience.

    We had the traditional plate with selections that included the yam, egusi, and beef for protein…read more Waited about 10 minutes for prep and I was excited to try some authentic Nigerian food! The collared greens was tasty, the yam reminded me of Hawaiian poi that was starchy and earthy. The beef could've been cooked better, though. It was really hard and tough to chew: I was a little disappointed. If the beef had been served tender and juicy (soaked in the collared greens sauce) I would've given 5 stars only because I don't think it was worth what we were charged for our dishes. Two pieces of beef that wasn't serving standard in my honest opinion. The store front is located in the food court of the Moreno Valley mall. There's a lot of dining tables and chairs throughout the food court and other food shops surrounding the dining court. There's tons of parking spaces and the mall wasn't very busy so parking is easy. I love African food and compared to my favorite spot in San Diego, this one is not on my list to revisit, unfortunately. Not for the price or quality.
