Jerk chicken with the sweet and sour sauce was BOMB. The Mac and cheese was good as well!

I have been eyeing Angry Jerk for years, and finally got to try it when I saw they were having a 'Flavor Hive' promotion where you could bring a bag to fill with their lovely selections. For those who don't know, Flavor Hive is a halal truck that will either give you a tray or stuff your bag of chips, fries, pizza, or anything you bring to them. It fascinated me having a Caribbean version of that as an option. It's downtown Silver Spring, but it wasn't hard to find street parking. That construction is starting to become cumbersome, though. I stepped inside and was surprised by how empty it was. And yes, items like jerk chicken, plantain, and cabbage were options to top my lovely bag of multigrain chips with. The staff were nice and trying to figure out the price point for my bag -- it was kinda big LOL. Once we got that figured it out and I made my choices, I was on my way. I got back in the car, and it was quite a nachos treat! It was heavy, so I had to eat some of it down so I could go -- I should've brought a tray haha. It was delicious though! The jerk was on the sweeter side... can't really say I got any heat. The other elements were all great though -- I especially loved the plantain. I'd like to come back and try other things... I have a lot of Caribbean spots closer to me, but soon! read more

I tried the Angry Jerk after hearing multiple reviews about it. I ordered via Uber Eats and I love relatively close so it was no biggie. I ordered the pulled jerk chicken bowl with jerk cauliflower, sweet potatoes, cabbage and pickled cucumber sign a side of fried rice. The fried rice had no flavor so I didn't even finish it. The bowl was cool. If I could do it again, I would not have gotten the cabbage. The cabbage made the bowl very oily and bc of that, I was hesitant on finishing it. The jerk chicken was just ok. Now the jerk cauliflower and sweet potatoes...chefs kiss. I would not order the fried rice again and will say that my dining experience was just ok. Again, I ordered via uber eats. The food was packaged nicely and bc I live close by, my food was will hot upon delivery. If I had to dine here again, it would be for the veggies. Other than that, it wouldn't be my first dining choice. read more

Was recommended by a friend to check this place out. Seemed like a lot of online orders were placed as we were waiting watching staff prepare multiple bags before acknowledging us waiting to order. We did a jerk chicken bowl with rice and beans with a variety of toppings. Overall good flavors but pretty expensive for what it was. I wish there was an option to try or get a couple sauces on the side since what we went with wasn't very spicy. They automatically prep food in to go containers even though we ended up eating at one of the few tables in the store. Would be interested to try something else but with so many near by restaurants would probably just try somewhere new. read more

Pretty good food and nice change from the places nearby. But slow service and overpriced. See pic for my *$28* meal - a curry chicken bowl, vanilla pudding, and a soft drink. Keep in mind, this is fast casual, and a chipotle-style build your bowl type of line. read more

Popped into The Angry Jerk, after a little partying at Society. I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately, I didn't. While the concept is great, the food is not quality. Let me start off by saying the customer service was on point, very nice staff. The inside is small, enough room for a few folks to sit. But I see it more as a grab your food and run or grab your food eat it quickly and get out! They are set up like chipotle, but all of the ingredients are not free. The ingredients didn't seem fresh. Not sure if they had been sitting out all day, but they were just ok. The jerk chicken was decent, but nothing was jerk about it! For the price, the amount of food they give you isn't too bad. But the quality definitely was not worth what I paid. I truly expected more. read more

Review is for DuPont location: Tried Angry Jerk for the first time today after reading rave reviews. It took me some time to actually locate the restaurant because my GPS kept sending me in circles and then it's good luck finding parking! When I went in, the manager seemed a bit distracted by a phone call he was on. I was barely greeted and the lady who took over my order wasn't super friendly. It was my first time there so I wasn't sure how the order process worked. She didn't try to explain or recommend me anything. Just stared at me with a dead pan expression. I mean I get it. I just got off work and was tired myself but a little customer service goes a long way and makes a difference. Now for the food, it was just ok. I got a little spoon of oxtail and the rice wasn't spectacular. My food was lukewarm, and not very hot. They had healthy options for sides, so I'll give them that, but I wouldn't come back again. I could get the same food with bigger portions for less money and feel satisfied. read more

First time I had the wings, they were delicious!!! Yesterday when I had them, they were not good! I would stay away from the "Angry dust" rub! It's just too much and not complimenting the Angry wings like at all! Cabbage was okay from the couple bites I had. Didn't eat the rest because it was toooooooo greasy . So was the jerk cauliflower! Don't think I would order here again . If you do decide to get the Angry wings get the Angry sweet sauce and not the rib read more

Food arrived hot and fresh, my sides I ordered fried rice, plantains, and curried chickpea all tasted delicious. The jerk chicken looked juicy and moist. I can't really comment on Service because it was DoorDash delivery, the driver was very polite friendly and on time. read more

So are we really paying $28 for these small portions here at "The Angry Jerk"? Well, I did...I give you HONEST, not sponsored reviews. Let's start with the pros: decor was nice and trending with the logo everywhere. It's a small venue and meant to be a quick stop and eat or carryout option. They are located in downtown Silver Spring, literally next to Society Lounge (if you know, you know) that's been a staple and landmark in the DMV for years. Back to The Angry Jerk: The service was average. The young man working the register just seemed like he was there doing his job. I was going to ask for recommendations but he gave off the vibe of nonchalant. The food was good, but expensive for the portion size. I got the wings. The sides are alacarte so I ordered the mac and cheese and cabbage. The wait for my food was about 10 minutes. My biggest cons were the portion sizes of the sides (too small like a kiddie veesion) and the parking was a terror but that's to be expected in downtown Silver Spring. Check out the pictures I took and more of my reviews on social media. All platforms: CocoasJoy or CocoaAlmondjoy. read more

This is my order it should have been ready by 10:44 I didn't get a text on my phone until 11:12 but my food did not come out until 11:30. And the reason why is because they were too busy fraternizing with the female customers instead of focusing on my food and then my food has the nerve to be cold and my rice ain't cooked all the way through. read more

8'2022 Great food concept. Missed the mark w Hubby and I. We visited late night. I was excited. It was my idea, and this place kept showing up on different social media sites in a positive way. Parking was quite difficult but achieved. This block is shared w several clubs and after hour places so everyone was fighting for their lives w parking. We walked in, and there was a line. They have a kiosk ordering option as well. We waited in line for quite some time. Once we were able to order, the staff was quite pleasant and helpful w ordering. We ordered Angry Wings and a Chicken Bowl. Waited 45+ minutes Tasteless. 0 flavor !! I will not be returning. read more

This review is for takeout. I ordered pickup. The food took about 30 minutes to prepare, though the estimate was 10 minutes. The wings were so worth the wait!! I got the mumbo jerk wings and they're like Asian, sweet but still a little jerk. Fantastic. There's about 12 in the box. What I cannot recommend is the Mac n cheese... avoid at all costs. The restaurant is very small on the inside, less than 20 seats total. They play very loud lounge type music. The staff is relatively friendly. I'll certainly be back to try the "make your own bowl" option but will definitely put in an order for those wings again too. read more

Delicious tastes of the Caibbean in downtown Silver Spring. Everything is prepared, so you point to what you want and select to make a meal. Quite similar to a Chipotle type proceaa, but more delicious and Caribbean! The food is quite tasty, portions are pretty good. I only wish they had more condiments and sauces that you could put in a small container to take with you to go. I wish they had more locations or more in Northern Va. read more

The jerk chicken, Mac & cheese, and cabbage was excellent. The wait time for pick-up was outstanding!

So good! I've had many Jamaican places in Silver Spring. This spot is my new favorite. Not only is the menu unique offering tacos and bowls, but the food is good! I had the brown stew chicken entree, plantains and lo mein. I've never had lo mein at a Jamaican spot. This one is well seasoned and has a bit of a kick. Very good. The plantains were as expected -crispy, goey, and sweet. The brown stewed chicken and rice and peas were my absolute favorite. Not too spicy, buttery, and just delicious. The cabbage was too spicy for me, but still great. The service was also great! I will be back. read more

After a long day at the office, I was in no mood to cook, so I decided to try out the Angry Jerk for some tacos. The fact that it is a Black-owned establishment was an added bonus, as I wanted to show my support. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by the lively beats of reggae music, which instantly set the mood for a fun dining experience. The aroma of curry filled the air, tantalizing my taste buds and making me even hungrier. Despite it being a busy Sunday night at 8pm, with a long line of people, the Angry Jerk was well-prepared to handle the influx of customers. The staff was efficient ensuring that everyone was served in a timely manner. I was pleasantly surprised to find myself in and out of the line within 15 minutes, which was quite impressive given the crowd. One of the highlights of my visit was the window seat, allowing me to enjoy my meal while taking in the view outside. It provided a nice spot to relax, hang out, and savor every bite. The ambiance of the restaurant was inviting and cozy, making it the ideal place to unwind after a long day. I enjoyed the Jerk Shrimp and Jerk Chicken Tacos. Both came with rice and peas, plantin and mango salsa. The portions were satisfying and the flavors were tasty. read more

Super bland!!! I ordered on uber eats and was so disappointed. The chow mein was horrible. Never again

Very good food! I ordered the curry chickpea bowl with rice & peas, fried plantain, cabbage, sweet potatoes and picked onions. Carb overload? Why, yes. But it was delicious. Service is pretty quick if you're ordering from the "assembly line" as I like to call it (aka chipotle style service) and staff were very friendly. Location is right in downtown Silver Spring, so plan for parking accordingly. I am looking forward to visiting again! read more

This was my first experience with The Angry Jerk and I ordered the Pulled Jerk Chicken Bowl. Positives: You're able to pick a rice or chow mein, add up to 5 toppings to your bowl and pick a sauce to go on the side. They're open until 3am Friday-Sunday Negatives: The white rice was either undercooked or overcooked and crunchy. The bowl consisted mostly of that crunchy rice and the portion of jerk chicken was minuscule and down right disrespectful! The little chicken that was in the bowl was cold and flavorless. Everything was dry. There wasn't a wet element to the bowl other than slaw I added and the sauce they included on the side wasn't nearly enough to make it palatable. I really hope this was a one off and I just got a bad bowl. I ended up throwing most of it away. The picture of the pulled jerk chicken bowl on the website is a far cry from what I received today. I'm not sure if I'll try again. read more

I stopped into The Angry Jerk between a beauty appointment. A friend told me about the place and it's super cute. It's in a great location in silver spring. The staff behind the bar was sweet . I ordered the angry jerk wings with the jerk /mambo sauce. Those were delicious and pretty large wings. I also ordered a stewed chicken plate with rice and beans and plantains. My fiancé loved it. I also ordered the jerk shrimp bowl. I wasn't really a fan. I need to come back in with an appetite and with time to dine in read more

Very mediocre. Head to Sweet Sweet for much better food. Employees don't know about menu options when you ask about them, and the manager is rude. I would hope that the rice and peas would at least be good, very basic. read more

I ordered 3 jerk shrimp bowls, the food was not good at all. In all 3 of the shrimp bowl and the shrimp was so mushy that is smashes like mashed potatoes. There's absolutely no jerk sauce in the bowl and I requested extra jerk sauce and none came with it. I can't tell if the shrimp are rotten or overcooked! Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. I was excited to try this place, won't be ordering again! read more

Tasty and standard place to get quick Caribbean inspired food. Some items are made to order but there are also cafe style food that can be added to build a bowl.

OMG. Wow. Amazing. Delicious. This was our first visit. They have been opened about a year. There are few tables for dining in. You order at the counter. Every bite was exploding with flavors. I think we tried 4 of 6 protein options- stewed chicken, grill chicken, shrimp, and chickpea. My favorites were the stewed chicken and chickpea. We also had the cabbage- i did not know that cabbage could taste so good. In addition, we also got the half chicken. Amazing. Overall an excellent experience and loved every bite. Looking forward to returning. read more

My first impressions when I went inside were mixed looking at the serving counter but as soon as I tasted the food, I immediately changed my mind. The flavors reminded me of this amazing Trinidadian Roti place I had in Virgin Islands. I did a take out and my review is solely from that perspective. Next time I ll come in for their Taco Tuesday and experience the hype first hand. Needed to reduce the stars because of the pick up experience. The service seemed disorganized leading to delays and inconsistent wait times. Otherwise, tasty food. read more

I am a huge fan of jamaican food and this did not disappoint. It is set up similarly to a Jamaican Chipotle. You have the option to build a bowl with your choice of proteins like jerk chicken, shrimp, curry etc, pick different bases and add topics and sauces! I got a jerk chicken bowl with rice and peas topped with plantains, carrots, ane corn. It was seasoned perfectly and tender. The service was efficient and they gave very healthy portion sizes. If you are in the dc area, check them out for amazing Jamaican cuisine! read more

No complaints here. The food is good....not the best but definitely good for a repeat visit and when in need of satisfying my Caribbean fix. It's reasonably priced, no frills, and gives you a taste of authentic Caribbean fare. Glad to support this local family business. Call ahead if you have specific dishes or drinks in mind, because on some days the service can be slow.....particularly on weekends. I tend to order the I got the Half Jerk Chicken with fried rice, angry mayo, angry sweet, cucumber salsa and cilantro. It has a slight kick, not too spicy but, a good flavor and the meat is tender. Even the white meat, which I am not a fan of, is pretty good and tender here. On this visit, I tried the Jerk Chicken &. Shrimp Tacos. The cost is roughly about $12 bucks which comes to about $4 a taco. A little steep but these bad boys are pilled high with your choice of peas n' rice or fried rice, cabbage, carrots, mango-pineapple topping (which I opted-out) and a sweet-spick jark sauce. This dish was really good and gets a total thumbs up from me! I just wish they would offer more sauce choices for the dish and allow for customers to choose them to go instead. It would help in changing up the flavors and allow for customers who like "a lot --xxxtra" sauce, the ability to enjoy the dish and get busy with it....they like their tacos....like me!! Overall, great vibe, good customer service, and the restaurant is very clean. The staff were friendly and helpful too in explaining their dishes. I will keep this one on repeat.....even though there are tons of Caribbean spots around the DMV. The customer service and food is good. read more

Finally tried this spot last week for Taco Tuesday. I think they've been open only since last year and I've had it on my list. The decor is very aesthetically pleasing!! There is some seating but it's not a huge space. Feels more like a take-out spot! Parking here wasn't too bad in the middle of the weekday. I placed an order online and went in to pick it up. I wasn't sure if I had to join a line or if there was a separate area for mobile orders, so I stood in the line and maybe I didn't need to do that. So about 15 minutes later I received my food. The interaction with the employee was good. Very nice guy! They have great specials for tacos on Tuesdays! 3 for $5.50! They are normally $11. I did two orders of jerk chicken tacos. I didn't realize it was 3 tacos per order, so I ended up with 6 tacos. I definitely did not eat all 6. For one, I didn't love these tacos. I really hoped I would have enjoyed them more. The chicken didn't taste like jerk nor was it spicy. I don't know if they have some sauces that go with their meals, but I had to put hot sauce on mine and that still didn't help much. I ordered mine with fried rice with pineapple mango pico and jerk cauliflower. I just really didn't like it at all. I would come back and try something different but no to the tacos for me. read more

This place is like the Caribbean version of Cava lol Recently moved to the DMV and we have ordered from here more than any other restaurant. My usual to go to are the shrimp bowl or the ox tail bowl. Fave sides are cinnamon sweet potatoes, mango salsa, fried rice, chow mein, jerk cauliflower, and they give generous portions. I've only been to the location once and because my order took so long and got confused, they were kind enough to give me an extra side (the one I was waiting the longest for). It was super kind and considerate. Restaurants aren't perfect and make mistakes, I have so much respect for when they recognize this and correct the wrong. read more

Loved my veggie bowl from the angry jerk. So many options and was so happy they had a veggie bowl as well. I would recommend pita or bread to go with the bowls (similar "bowl" type places offer pita with the bowls). Otherwise, it's great!

Just ordered a small curry chicken and the dam thing was almost $18.00... HELL NO! NEVER AGAIN. And the food was ok. smh...

I ordered here while staying at a hotel right down the street. I put my order in, and drove down to pick it up. I was there early, and waited for it to come out from the kitchen. I thought, "At least it will be hot". Nothing is more annoying than ordering delivery from Uber and it shows up an hour later cold. I get back to hotel in 4 minutes. I had the food for maybe under 10 all together and it was like it was basically room temp. The chicken was cold. Everything else was good. The cabbage was spiced right. The chicken was very tasty with the spices, but was it suppose to be cold? I like my chicken hot. It was tasty, but cold. read more
