    I'm sorry but the food is horrible. My wings were burnt and flavorless, the jerk sauce was sweet and spicy as ever, the rice and peas were sweet. Idk who tf wants sweet rice and beans.

    I’ve had the curry chicken dinner & the half chicken dinner. They both are very tasty. The sides I’ve had are the yams, they are delicious. The cabbage, lately it’s been flavorful but not fully cooked, extra crunchy. The Mac has been inconsistent. Some days I can taste all the sour cream & cottage cheese the cook puts in there. Then, the next time I get the Mac, it’s great, the cook doesn’t add the cottage cheese & sour cream.

    Chicken wings were too small, over cooked, and not seasoned. Won't be eating from here ever again. $36

    Went in here to try Jerk chicken, as I have never had it. I ordered the Jerk chicken tacos with rice and beans and plantains. My oh my this was good. Not too much spice, well seasoned just off the grill. The sauce they gave me on the side had a little kick to it but it rounded off the dish very nicely. Prices were very nice around $10 for two giant tacos and a good amount of beans. I chose the fried plantains as my side but they had a lot of side choices. The plantains were very hot and crispy. Go here you will not be disappointed.

    This was the worst jerk chicken dinner i have ever had . First off the look was not of grilled jerk it look like jewel grilled chicken and it had an old taste at least 2 days old. Cabbage was brown mushy i couldn't eat that trash spent $15.00 bucks and will never eat at any uncle joes jerk restaurant again and will recommend any one i know to do the same. Oh did i mention i didnt hear any pot and pans moving nor did i smell any food cooking while i was there.

    Went here recent, because jerk villa was closed. I should have turned back around when I didn’t get the aroma of jerk chicken at the door. The chicken wasn’t nothing but bbq, but good bbq.Try dipping the chicken in the jerk sauce and that was a fail. No flavor at all. The Mac was dry and it didn’t hardly have any cheese. The yams was terrible. They were so bitter in taste, idk what was put in it but it taste like a some type of hair product. The rice and peas just was plain rice with gravy. I’m just use to having flavor. The cabbage was good. I also got a jerk chicken alfredo, this was really good. The chicken they use in the alfredo was way better then there jerk chicken they sell and tasted more like jerk chicken to me. Would I go here again? Naw I’m good.

    I ordered some curry chicken me and my girlfriend the first time I came up there and it was so good I came back three days later and ordered some more and the next day when I warm something up to eat it smells spoiled! I called up there, and found out that they were doing construction so later that week I call to talk to the manager. He called me back but unfortunately I was taking a nap and didn't hear the phone. I called him back after I saw that but I have not gotten a return call!! I like the jerk chicken but that curry chicken sucks!!!

    My 1/2 jerk chicken dinner was fantastic. It was prepared perfectly. The chicken was moist and tender, cabbage was seasoned perfectly, beans and rice nice and the plantains were outstanding! I will be back!

    This was my second time giving them a try and I must say I will never eat here again!… the customer service was horrible, there were flies everywhere, I sat in the lobby to wait for my food and the lady managed to get the order wrong and she never called the number she was just on her phone while I’m looking dead at her. To put the icing on the cake the food was horrible! Macaroni was crumbly, no yams, the nacho I had wasn’t seasoned and furthermore the chips tasted stale. The young lady did apologize and offered for me to come get the right one but now I’m blew and who wants to do that when there comfortable at home. They seem like great people but the service is unacceptable.I spent 25 dollars for nothing and the worst part I don’t feel like going to get my money back 😩 it’s cool ima take that L Next time I’m going to stick to what I know.
