Jerkin Chicken

Decent food. This place had the best west Indian food I've tasted in jersey city. And I've tried almost all in the area. Small quite and clean. The employees were pleasant and made sure my order was correct to the T. I'm done looking. I'm a stick with this spot for my west Indian meals. I definitely recommend Jerkin Chicken.

Great please to go to.. I met my wife here and that was her first time there.. It’s crazy because that is my favorite place to go. I love their Oxtail, oh and they helped my family by employing one of my family members. They have been so helpful and supportive to the community. I wish my words can encourage people to try them out — businesses have ups and downs but for some of the reviews I read it’s unfair that you guys try something one time and grade the entire business but I bet some of you return for more 🤦🏾‍♂️ that’s so sad… there are people in this world that makes decisions solely on reviews. I recommend “NEVER” to ‘Judge A Book By Their Cover’ this is a family business and they are for the community! Reviews can make or break a business. Be supportive and understanding, do not bring your bad day to a place that provides you comfort food! They have done a lot for the community and encouraged me to do the same — so I am with all my businesses.

I simply do not recommend this place. Not even worth the rating. Total waste of hard eared income to say the least. I am in disbelieve that this place is actually open and in business. I did not intend to purchase trash in a dirty cart board box for an extravagant expense. I would have been better off at a Pizzeria, Chinese and or Chicken Spot to say the least. Staff is rude and unprofessional even after spending a little bit under $80 for unidentified food with no specific pricing on their menu which could not be determined even after asking what the price is per dish. Several items on the menu were out of stock, not prepared nor offered or had a price to them. Eat at your own experience.

Aug 9th My first time here and decided to go with the stew chicken for dinner. $14 for the stew chicken dinner is fair… given that the portion size can be enough for two. The stew chicken was some of the best that I’ve tasted from a Jamaican restaurant in a long time. The rice and peas were good, but a bit dry. I got a limeade to drink— I wouldn’t order it again. It costs $5 and it doesn’t taste like they use real limes. Overall I’d be back to try another dish.

I would like to start off by saying seeing the owner bad mouthing and calling customers scammers is HIGHLY unprofessional and is a huge reason I’m no longer eating here. Says a-lot about management already. It was decent but the prices are insane for the portions you get. The food itself was good but not good enough for the prices and portions. Probably can get more from Golden Krust for less with similar quality. Spanish restaurants serve very large portions for 8-10 bucks. There is a Caribbean restaurant downtown for similar prices but with larger servings if you want your money’s worth also very good. Nicoles is the name. You walk out with a very small serving size for 20 dollars at this place. I ordered the ox tail dinner for 20 dollars for reference. These are suggestions for those wanting to get what you pay for. But if you do eat here, be ready to pay a hefty price for small sizes and okay food. I’ll support black owned businesses further when the quality meets up with the prices and service until then not worth the price just because of their race. Also, customer service and experience is non existent here. I felt like a nuisance walking in to order. Very thick and uncomfortable atmosphere.
