There was…read morea veggie slaw of some kind with onions and peppers, I wasn't sure I was going to like it but I was pleasantly surprised! It mixed it well with the rice. Really enjoyed the jerk chicken and the mix of spices they use. The gravy that they pour on the rice is one of the best gravies I've had in my life. It has an amazing aroma and I just can't get enough of it! The peas (beans), are not something I normally would eat, but they taste so good in this rice recipe that I love them. I'm hoping to get that coconut spice cake one of these times if its there when I'm in, for now I got the rum cake which was good. I put a little caramel sauce on it when I got home. I want to try that Red Stripe beer one of these days to! Keep it up! (I broke the perfect formation of the rice before I thought to take a photo).

No, it did not. Second, the burger week website said it has tomato, lettuce, onion and jerk chicken bites. No, none of those were on the burger. Third, the cheese were so thick that they suppose to be served separately with crackers. Fourth, they didn't even bother ask us if we want our burger medium rare before they just went for it. Fifth, the bun was so wet and it didn't look like a Jamaican style coco bun to me. Sixth, the patty taste like nothing inside. For the outside of the patty, we only tasted spicy but it had no flavour. Seventh, beside us waiting for more than 30 minutes for the burger, we called the restaurant and received really bad service. We said it is very disappointing, and the manager said that's fine. I don't understand this restaurant. I won't recommend people going.

We ordered quite a variety from the bbq platter, to the pulled pork tacos, and jerk chicken sandwiches.

The jerk chicken also had the same flavor as the rest of the bbq platter. And the pulled pork tacos just nothing noteable or extraordinarily unique.

New to the Halifax food truck scene as of this year, Jamaica Lee is slinging a handful of the…read moreisland's best known dishes from this bright green bus. I'd been wanting to try them out for a while, but their usual home base of Dartmouth and my schedule this summer had not been working in my favour. The food stars finally aligned though when I was working one sunny weekend and Jamaica Lee was one of the trucks at Brunch at Bishop's. Once my work was taken care of for the moment, I made the jaunt up to Bishop's. Being around 2pm, there wasn't anyone lined up, so things went quickly. They had a small set of offerings: jerk or curry chicken with rice and peas, ox tail, beef patties, and "festival", which I would later learn were cornbread fritters. Thanks, Google. I went for the jerk chicken meal with rice and peas ($10), and tacked on a beef patty ($5) to sample some more of their wares while I had the opportunity. It just took a couple of minutes for everything to get packaged up while I took in the waterfront sights and sounds and chatted with the cool cats at Halifax Press. Back in the office under fluorescent lighting, I dug into my significant pile of food. The peas in the rice definitely looked more like red broad beans, but the name didn't matter much as it was tasty stuff; lightly seasoned, perfectly cooked rice that was even better with the jerk chicken sauce. The chicken was pleasantly plentiful - four hunks of drumstick and thighs, with a great jerk seasoning that was spicy but not oppressively so, and a light dash of sauce for some sweetness and more depth of flavour to the infamously complex jerk spices. I had a small bit of my co-worker's oxtail as well, and while I had the poor luck of choosing a piece that was more bone and fat, and less meat, the sauce had a fantastic mix of tomato and beef flavour. The beef patty was an impressive hue of orange, and was a decent size, although five bucks was kind of pushing it for something like this. The meat was heavily spiced and packed a good kick to it, but sadly the flavour of the beef itself got lost among the spice and other seasonings. I like a good beef patty, but probably wouldn't go for this again, saving my five notes for something else. Jamaica Lee is doing it right by keeping the menu concise, and the jerk chicken spicy, delicious and approachable. I'm glad I finally got to try them out, and will be keeping them in mind in the future for all of my jerked meat needs. PS. They really need to drop the "Style" from their name. Jamaican cuisine varies from household to household, and I don't think there's any/many people that are going to call BS on their food not being authentic Jamaican food.

Frequently at the corner of Main Street & Caledonia - I'm grateful that a food truck besides ol' school donuts is in Dartmouth. :) I showed up to the bright green truck, looked at the three menu items: - Jerk Chicken - Oxtails - Beef patties I believe all three come with rice and peas. I opted for the Jerk chicken - $10 taxes in. What a perfect blend of flavours and heat. JLS definitely does jerk chicken right! I wanted to savour the taste and flavours so bad, but I couldn't help it. I devoured it immediately! Good portions and I was full afterwards....but I still crave it every other day. Beef patties is next!

We inquired about services from this restaurant and the owner did not deliver so we requested a refund which the owner promised to pay back and never did ! He just took our money without providing services and also talked about how we annoyed him in the process of inquiring about his services . We also ate there and the food is overpriced $42 + tax so roughly $50 for just a chicken dinner that included rice and two sides ! This is extremely expensive especially for just ONE meal . You can go to anywhere else and get a meal, a drink and an appetizer for that price! The restaurant is extremely small and not easy to locate. We even asked the Cheesecake place next to it if they knew that this restaurant was beside them and they said that they had no idea. I wouldn't recommend going to eat at this restaurant and spending your money here! The owner is not a good person. I could even see if the food was priced decently, but it's not worth your money , spend it elsewhere!
