Jerky Jerk is THE SPOT!…read more We wanted something better than stadium food before the Bulls game. And the three of us love Jamaican food, specifically, jerk chicken and curry goat. So as soon as Jerky Jerk showed up on my Yelp search, I knew my search had ended, and that we found our pre-game dinner spot. Jerky Jerk blew my expectations out of the water. I'm a Chicago native, but I live in LA, where I'm lucky to be surrounded by many delicious Jamaican food spots. But Jerky Jerk has the best jerk chicken I've ever had. When I say that the smoky, slightly sweet, tender, fall-of-the-bone experience hit the spot, I mean that it HIT THE SPOT! Even the rice & peas and cabbage were cooked and spiced to perfection. All three of us devoured our plates in about ten minutes. I also love the colorful and lively Chicago sports murals that fill each wall, as well as the hospitable and vibrant service from the owners. They absolutely rock. They throw a party inside, and they make you feel welcomed and right at home. Jerky Jerk is now a non-negotiable stop when visiting Chicago. This place slaps.

I was craving plantains so we ordered delivery, and OMG this is probably one of the best chicken…read moreand candied yams I've ever had! The chicken was grilled to perfection! The meat was juicy, the seasoning was delicious and the sauce that came with it was tangy, sweet and wasn't too spicy. But those candied yams OMG! They weren't overly sweet that it hurts your throat but just the right amount to satisfy your sweet tooth! They must have added some fruit like pineapple because it added a little tangy kick that balances so well with the sweetness and added another dimension! We will have to try this place in person next time!

Our friends ordered for delivery last night and OMG! IT WAS SO SO GOOD!…read more I typically have my doubts about ghost kitchens. But this one didn't disappoint. My fave was the steak jibarito. The steak was perfect! We also ordered a pollo guisado. I loved the rice (arroz con gandules) that came with it. And of course we ordered tostones and maduros too. There were a couple other things that were ordered but I can't recall at the moment. We will be ordering again. And again.

The bottomless mimosas don't stop until the clock does :). My plantain pancakes were sweet and fluffy just how I like them. And I can't forget about my chicken sausage, that was some of the best I've ever had at any restaurant. It was also nice that the owner came up to every table to see how everyone's doing. I will be back!

This spot never misses. Every time I'm in Chicago, this is one of my mandatory stops. The food is…read moreconsistently GOOD good, flavorful, fresh, and clearly made with care. The escovitch snapper was absolutely delicious. Crispy, seasoned perfectly, and topped with the right amount of pickled vegetables. I literally ate the whole fish without struggling once . That alone tells you everything. The cabbage was flavorful, the rice hit, and the cornbread? Whew. Easily some of the best cornbread I've had at a restaurant. Soft, buttery, slightly sweet... dangerous honestly. The drinks are good too, and the whole place has a vibe. Good music, good energy, just an overall feel-good atmosphere whether you're pulling up for brunch, dinner, or drinks with friends. 10/10 would absolutely recommend. Chicago has a lot of food spots, but this one stays in my rotation for a reason.

Grabbed $7 margarita (special) which was tasty. For food my husband and I shared the full lb of rib tips and fries. We thought they were tasty. We met up with some friends celebrating a March birth (Aries). The bar crowd was friendly...everyone just enjoying the music and each other. Bathrooms were big and never had an issue getting a stall. Security present and overall just a fun experience. Would love to come back when they have a live band playing.

Sexy. Jollof. Yassa shrimp!!!!!…read more The yassa shrimp completely stole the show, so good that everything else felt mid by comparison. Honestly, I should've just ordered three yassa shrimp plates and called it a day. Blessed. The yassa fish was my second favorite, but the shrimp was so superior it's hard to even compare. The lamb curry was just okay. I mainly got it for the fufu, but the lamb itself was a bit dry. I genuinely don't remember most of the other dishes because I cannot stop thinking about that yassa shrimp. Drinks were pretty sweet, and service was slow and inattentive, but I'd still come back for the shrimp alone.

There was plenty of seating for our big group. Unfortunately they seemed to be understaffed while…read morewe were there so the waiter didn't take our order for about 30 mins. It was a nice atmosphere and the staff were really kind. The Yassa chicken and shrimp had great flavor, a bit spicy, juicy, and had flavorful rice. The vegetarian maffe was a peanut flavored sauce with potatoes and carrots with a bit of spice as well. If you're looking for more spice, they'll bring a small cup of Senegalese pepper sauce.

I was so excited for this meal cause Amaru has been on my list for so long! Piononos: They had me at chorizo stuffed plantains. A nice latin twist from the usual bacon wrapped dates. Highly recommend! Pulpo gallego: I don't think I've ever had octopus with beans before but it surprisingly paired very well together. Love me a nice charred octopus and this one was delish. Cuban oxtail: I still dream about this unique pasta dish!!! Great flavor. Wish there were more agnolotti because I had a lot of oxtail meat leftover by the end of the meal. Lomo steak: Such a pretty delicious dish! 5/5 stars all around! Highly recommend to share. Guava cheescake: I LOVE anything guava. The cut and presentation of the dessert gets a 5/5 for me. The slice was as long as the plate! Great way to end the meal. Overall, everything was great - the service, food, vibes, etc. I would love to dine here again :)
