    Ginger cucumber drink
    Monica G.

    Stopped by on a Saturday night, it was quiet in the shop and they mostly ran out of everything. Got the goat curry and jerk chicken. Goat curry was a okay, but overwhelmingly salty. Jerk chicken was really really good, a bit on the salty said but man that flavor was just spot on. However the wait was 40mins we definitely missed our chance to view the sunset by the beach the ginger and cucumber juice was quite nice, but it's a bit on the sweet side

    Jerk Chicken plate (large) with greens, mac n cheese, and rice and peas.  DELICIOUSSSSSSS

    Absolutely a joy and delight every time I eat here. Whether it's to go, or in the restaurant, their food is delicious and full of love. Their customer service is the same. If you're looking for rich flavors that hit the spot, definitely come here.

    Authentic Jamaican food with lots of choices and large portions "The best jerked chicken I have ever had," Paul W. While we were there, an artist was repainting the outside of the building. The inside walls have paintings of famous people of color, and their famous quotes are written beside them. Wheel chair accessible. Free parking on site.

    Curry chicken, sautéed veggies and Mac n cheese. Was delicious

    Curry chicken was very delicious, flavor is there. Sautéed veggies and Mac n cheese. I do feel like Mac n cheese is lacking seasoning though. The vibe inside nice as well.

    Love at first bite

    Just wow...it was my partner and mine's first anniversary and we decided to take a trip to Humboldt to see the new Redwood Skywalk. I did some research on places to eat at in Eureka and the Jerk Kitchen came up. We love all types of foods and the pictures had us hooked. Well let me tell you what... If you do not eat here, YOU ARE MAJORLY MISSING OUT on a flavor explosion of yummy food goodness. Everything was perfect from the chicken, plantains, rice, killer Mac'n'cheese, to the side of cabbage with veggies. My mouth is watering while writing this. Makes me mad I do not live closer. Do yourself a favor and visit The Jerk Kitchen, you won't regret it. Sincerely, A huge fan

    Del, rocking the jerk chicken... #respect

    My family and I were driving down the coast and were going to be in Eureka for one night. We asked…read morethe front desk lady at our motel where we could get a good steak, and without hesitation she said Shamus T Bones. We looked at the reviews here on Yelp! and were a bit worried at the low overall rating. Well, rest assured, we had a good meal and enjoyed our visit. My wife had the filet mignon, while I ordered the rib eye. I asked our waitress about upgrading to the pricier dry aged rib eye, and she surprisingly talked me out of it saying the regular rib eye was really good. She was right. The combination of the grilling and the buttery sauce was delicious. It didn't need any additional sauce, but out of curiosity I tried the house sauce that was on the table, and it was quite nice. For some reason, they have a Tesla coil (from the original Tesla, not the car company) and they fired it off while we were there. They give plenty of notice before they do as it makes a loud sound and sparks fly about the device. It was interesting. So, if you're in town and looking for a good steak, give this place a try.

    2 of 2 Yelp reviews…read more Quality/Quantity - A suggestion from Humboldt Bay Provisions and a home run! Today we got the following: Spicy Garlic Chicken Fries - #1 seller, so I have to try. Boy have I been eating so unhealthy on this trip, but you know that because you are following. Is that part of the reason I am having so much fun? This did not disappoint. I did not think it was very spicy, but my daughter said it was too spicy for her. Good thing she ordered the mild version of garlic chicken; see below. Decent portions. Garlic Chicken - A more mild version of the above. But with rice and mac rather than fries. A slightly healthier version. Ahi Poke Bowl - My wife's choice. Generous portions, especially the tuna; thank you. Because this is raw, we "forced" ourselves to finish this dish first. So good. And to wash it down, supporting local, Sticky Finger IPA. Ambiance - Small local business. The food truck was parked in the rear of the building. Due to the rain, I did not take pictures. Plenty of mall parking. Open 5 days a week, 11:30am to 7pm; closed on Monday and Tuesday. Service - Counter service. Overall okay. Price - $62 + tip. Reasonably priced as we pretty much took an entree to-go. We are light eaters. Owner Comment - Aloha, congrats on your success since 2017; we will be back!

    A solid 3 1/2 stars, due to a couple of small hiccups. I've wanted to come in here for some…read moretime, but I was unable to make it into the restaurant, so I decided to do a DoorDash. The first hiccup, was the restaurant is less than 10 minutes from our place, yet from the time I ordered to the time the food came, it was just under an hour. Plus, it was after lunchtime on a Saturday, which should've meant that the place should have been less busy That's a long wait for a short distance. The food itself was pretty good. My first order was the cod, fritters. The flavor was good. I could definitely taste the cod. What I didn't care for, was the texture. They were pretty gummy. I don't know if that's how they are supposed to be or not, but I was not a fan of the texture. They did come with a red sauce for dipping, but it was a bit too spicy for me. On the other end of the spectrum, however, was the curried goat, which I loved. I called ahead to ask if it was spicy, and they said, not really. And they were right. It wasn't really that spicy. It was a mellow spice that made my forehead sweat just a little bit, but well within what I like for spicy. The flavor itself was fantastic. The goat was bone in, but it was so tender. It was literally falling off the bone. Goat can be gamey, but this wasn't. It had a nice mellow flavor. There was also a gravy, which had a deep, rich flavor, and the rice had a good texture and a nice flavor also. It didn't taste like plain white rice. Overall, even with the delivery cost, the price was very reasonable. I would definitely order from here again, but the next time I would go into the restaurant instead of doing delivery. Also, while I liked the flavor of the cod, fritters, next time I would order something else. Thank you so much for an overall good meal.

I'm not sure if…read morethis is common for most places in the area, but this restaurant wasn't open during the hours stated online and on their door. We showed up at around 1:30 on a Saturday and tried to open the door to find it locked. We saw workers inside, so we were a little confused. We just waited outside for a little bit, trying to research another place to grab lunch. About five minutes later, one of the workers invited us inside. I decided to get the sampler platter. It came with plantains, jerk chicken, cod fritters, and vegetables. The sauce that it came with was so unbearably spicy, so I'd definitely recommend avoiding this if you can't handle spice. The food was something different than what I'm used to, but I really enjoyed the plantains! Service was on the slower side, and they forgot one of our dishes, which ended up being fine. The inside of the restaurant felt very clean and open.

    If you're in Eureka and only have time for one brewery, make it Lost Coast Brewery. From the moment…read morewe walked in, the staff made us feel welcome, the food arrived quickly, and everything we ordered hit the mark. Add in a solid lineup of beers, and it's easy to see why this place has become a local favorite. We sampled several beers across the menu, from crisp lagers to darker, malt-forward brews, and every pour was well-crafted and full of flavor. Whether you're a hop lover or prefer something smooth and easy-drinking, there's a beer here for you. The food was just as impressive. The shrimp tacos were fresh and flavorful with a nice kick, the burger was juicy and piled high with bacon and all the classic fixings, and the French dip was tender, served with a rich au jus that made every bite better. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, making it a great stop whether you're grabbing lunch after exploring the Redwoods or winding down after a day on the coast. Great beer, great food, great service--Lost Coast Brewery is an easy recommendation and a must-visit while you're in Eureka.

    So FU**ING BOMB ! The cursing in this scenario is necessary because it's that good!…read more I visited Eureka recently to stay with a friend and begged her to let me check this place out because they have couple different options for stouts. I love dark beer and each one I tried here was phenomenal. I had the downtown brown which really packed a malty flavor. And the peanut butter chocolate milk stout was so yummy I got a six pack to go. Not to mention I think it was only ten bucks which is a great price for local beer. First time I visited with my friend I got the blue cheese burger and just.. WOW. The fried sliced pickles along with being packed on with bacon and delicious angus beef this burger left me feeling ravenous. My burger came with lots of toothpicks (thank god) to hold together the mound of toppings/bun. Every single bite I felt like I was eating the world's most delicious cheeseburger and couldn't help be shocked that this was the meal I had presented to me today. Was so GOOD - I returned the next day. This time I got the elk burger which again, huge, delicious, but the one I had day prior was my personal favorite. Elk patty offered a much leaner feeling with the meat that meshed well with everything else. Not to mention the garlic parmesan fries. Even now as I'm typing this out I feel like I'm dying to return. Service was great, the decor is WILD, beers are amazing, and the food will blow your mind. Plzzz check it out.
