Jerk House Caribbean Restaurant

“Good Jamaican food when you are craving such in midtown Manhattan. Jerk House is a tiny Hole-In-the-Wall Spot between Park & Lex. Yes, you are right. The servers have real Jamaican attitude, perhaps the flavour is good based on whether you are lucky on the day you are served. Be aware this is more a Quantity vs Quality place. I have had better Jamaican food elsewhere. I am Jamaican, frequent the Island, and I have good taste buds. Thus, I am quite familiar with the cuisine. After yelling out your order to the server do yourself a favor and make it a take-away order. There is very limited seating inside. Not a real "sit-down" restaurant. Remember I said "Spot" Anyway for midtown it is pretty good - - Maybe I'll get lucky next time. Enjoy! Irie! Thank you ”

“Moved to NY back in November, and I was meaning to try Jamaican food. Never had it before. Wow it was really incredible. I got the jerk chicken plate, honestly one of the best meals I have ever had. Chicken with spice and rice, can't get any better really. The staff was super nice and was excited for me to try the meal, for it being my first time. S/O to Lexcine for being so hospitable. 10/10 meal, I will be back”

“Just average at best -- ordered the Rasta Pasta with chicken and even though the chicken was taken off the bone, there were many little pieces of chicken bone in the meat still, requiring caution while eating. The Rasta Pasta was fine, but overcooked and lukewarm. The flavour of everything was good but not mind blowing. The staff was very terse and not patient with questions about the menu. The space is small, but has seating along the wall and is pretty quiet. Definitely feels more geared towards takeout.”
