Jerk. Jamaican Barbecue

I've been a loyal customer of Jerk Modern Jamaican Grill for over 7 years, and I felt it's high time I shared my thoughts on this gem of a restaurant. From the early days of overcoming growing pains to becoming a consistently outstanding eatery, Jerk Modern Jamaican Grill has never failed to impress. I vividly remember their opening days when they faced challenges with shortages, but those were merely growing pains. Since then, not once have I received a bad order or encountered the dreaded cold food syndrome. Whether through a delivery service or an occasional in-person pick-up for their Beef Patties, my experiences have been nothing short of excellent. My most recent order through Door Dash was, as always, a delight. The food arrived warm, and the order was spot on. Speaking of Beef Patties, let me tell you, these are the real deal! Forget imitations; Jerk Modern Jamaican Grill boasts the ORIGINAL GOLDEN CRUST. Don't let other places deceive you; this spot has the authentic Golden Crust Beef Patties that will redefine your expectations. My latest order, I couldn't resist trying the dry-run Jerk wings with a side of Rude Gyal and Cilantro Aioli Sauce. The wings were perfection personified — impeccably rubbed, juicy, and downright delicious. The seasoning was on point, and they didn't skimp on flavor. As a longtime fan of their Jerk offerings, I'm grateful that they consistently deliver on the promise of authentic Jamaican flavors. And let's not forget the beverages; a bottle of Ting and two cans of Sprite were the perfect companions to my meal, elevating the entire experience. While I'm already a die-hard fan, I can't help but think that adding oxtail to their menu would be a game-changer. If Jerk Modern Jamaican Grill ever decides to make that addition, consider me a permanent resident! In conclusion, don't be foolish — give this place a try, and you'll undoubtedly thank me later. Jerk Modern Jamaican Grill has not only stood the test of time but has consistently delivered an exceptional dining experience. Here's to another seven years (and more) of culinary bliss!

Really excellent sauces. The jerk sauce and the Rude Girl sauce were packed with flavor. The chicken by itself was very well seasoned and packs great flavor even without sauce. The brisket wasn't as flavorful but tasted great paired with the sauces. Coleslaw was decent. Everything was on the "not very sweet" side and that's perfect for me.

Today I ordered them on Uber eats and wanted to go out of my way to recommend this place again ! I decided to get it for my wife who is Haitian & Jamaican and was missing some food of home. She was so happy and as was I ! The patties are great ! The chicken, plantains, Cole slaw and sauce all work perfect ! I haven’t seen or had anything like this around Chicago unless it was cooked from home! Highly recommended! Give them a try ! I now can’t wait to stop by and try something else ! Great jobs guys !

We were in the mood for bbq and came across this place. The food did not disappoint. We told the beautiful black woman at the front it was our first time and she gave us a sample of all the sides. They were delicious. I ordered the jerk chicken thighs with corn slaw and plantains. Delicious. My husband got the pulled pork with baked beans and jerk Mac and cheese. Delicious. Whenever we come to the city this place is a must. Thank you. P.S. The rum punch is a hit. 10/10

I can't really talk about the atmosphere as it was only me and my sister and two other people there when we went. I'm thinking maybe it's more lively at other times. I got the chicken sandwich, which was good. I wish it was a little bit hotter in spice wise and temperature wise. I got the Mac n cheese, but I prefer the jerk fries, which were really good (I got these later as I was eating) . I don't know what that bread stick thing was, but it was good, too. I tried the jerk wings, which were really good. That sauce you see was good as well. I'd definitely go back for the fries,wings, and sandwich.

Ordered delivery. 10/10 would order again. The jerk chicken was phenomenal and the sides— so good. Sampled the jerk seasoned Mac cheese, baked beans, and plantains. All were exceptional. Plus they packaged it so neatly there were no spills AND the food was still piping hot on delivery. Absolutely delicious. Also try their hot sauces- absolutely delicious, I’m keeping the leftover to put on other food!

This is a pretty cool modernized Jamaican restaurant. I had a friend come into town and we went here for some Jamaican food and were happy with the results and taste. It has a medium sized menu that lists all the basics that you would be craving at Jamaican places. I really enjoyed the Jerk macaroni and BBQ here. The staff was really friendly and gave me good recommendations. The price is very fair and the atmosphere is clean. There is street parking and a parking garage that customers can use.
