Reviews For Jamaica Jerk Choice Inc.

I got it delivered, and the food was hot and fresh! I especially loved the plantains and yams on the side (and the variety of options for sides), plus the oxtail was almost addictive! I forgot to take a photo of the beef patty, but although it was a little harder than I was expecting, the flavor was simple yet tasty, I could eat those all day! Of course, the price is a little on the higher end for me to order all the time (especially with delivery), but to enjoy with friends or have as a treat? Would definitely love to try the stew chicken or curry goat next time!

Delish, Fresh, Authentic Caribbean grub. This was ordered via a take out app. I arrived 10 min early, order was ready as I picked it up. Order was accurate, portions were good for the price, and the food was really delish! This is my 2nd time enjoying their yummy grub. My lunch order w/ pics below was 21 & it was enough for 3 meals (for me). Jerk Chicken (white meat), peas & rice, side of macaroni, small side of Cabbage & Candied Yams. Highly recommend. The staff were attentive & friendly. There are a few high top tables inside but it’s more of a take out or eat on the go type of joint. I’ll definitely order again & again. Pro Tip: if you order through an online app, best to call the restaurant & make sure they recv’d your order. There is some disconnect with regard to the app & them receiving the order.

Jerk Choice is the best jerk spot this side of Jamaica. I recently moved back from Minnesota to discover that they relocated to Oak Forest from Cal City. I drove 45 mins to get my favorite Jerk Chicken and it did not disappoint. Same great taste.. 10 Stars to this restaurant, they do it right...

Let me just start off saying That I am an extreme jerk food fanatic!! And this is by far the best I’ve tasted in the south suburbs. I usually travel to the city to go to Jerk 48 or Jerk Villa and Jerk choice is standing right with them on the flavor side.. The portions are well worth your money. I was unsure of what I wanted and she was nice enough to let me try a few samples of different things. I appreciate that blessings on your business. I will be back.

Yes I’ve read the reviews before I’ve checked them out and learned for myself. I’ve stopped and got dinner which was the 6 wings dinner with cabbage and yams. The food was actually good. The service was good, the food was hot and fresh. Everything was seasoned. The cabbage was flavorful and the yams was good and sweet. The chicken was grilled well done. So, for my experience, they were decent. Plus the prices were reasonable.

went in on break from work and told the lady at the counter it was my first time. she was so gracious that she gave me a free sample of the food! It was the best version of Jerk Chicken I’ve ever had. You can taste the smoke flavor! The cabbage and red beans and rice also had a very flavorful flavor. this place is the opposite of bland. If I ever want Jerk anything I’m coming here.
