I went to this place yesterday and it was one of those little hole in the wall places that you KNEW was going to have AMAZING FOOD. It was so LIVE. You could smell the food, the people were extremely friendly, great music and an overall amazing ambience. I got the jerk chicken plate and everything tasted yummy as expected! Especially the rice & peas and the plantains. Authentic Jamaican Cuisine at its finest! Highly recommend! read more

I love this place, so authentic, the smell, the vibe, the food. I come here often and have never been disappointed. It's a small setup so it gets crowded quick but they make the food as quickly as they can, it's worth it. read more

I wish I could give zero stars . The fish was nasty , disgusting no seasoning. I am highly disappointed, do not get food here. They are always out of patties. read more

Superb!!!! Wanted something different for lunch; purchased Jerk Chicken. It was exactly what my stomach wanted. Jerk Chicken, Rice and Peas, and Cabbage; just the way Grandma use to cook. read more

I arrived with great anticipation. Never mind the tiny cramped parking lot, in a slightly sketchy neighborhood. When I saw that yellow shack and smelled the jerky goodness in the air I knew I'd arrived at what I felt would be a little slice of Jerk Heaven. I was able to squeeze inside among the sea of people and found my place in line. I could clearly read the menu items and its pricing which was a plus. I made my way to the counter and was helped by a mildly pleasant woman. Whatever, I was starving and excited! I LOVE Jerk chicken. I ordered the large jerk chicken plate and a $6 small side of extra jerk chicken. I pushed my way to the back of the waiting area to wait to hear my number called. About 22 minutes later I jumped up and got to the counter and the girl was holding my plates open so that I could inspect them for accuracy. I put some jerk sauce on my chicken and grabbed my bags and headed to the car. Drove off to allow the car that was waiting for my space to pull in. I got about 10 minutes away and opened my plate. Smelled amazing and looked amazing at first glance and then I picked up a piece of chicken and bit into. Although flavorful and seasoned, it was kind of tough and not very much meat. I grabbed another piece flavor, but the skin was soggy and the meat was tough, I looked through both boxes to find it was all dark meat and strange cuts. I had several legs that were still yellow (chicken fat) and not pull a part tender. I ate my rice and peas and ate the cabbage salad (they don't serve hot cabbage) and closed the lids. I was disappointed. Quite a bit of the meat was tough and I felt it should have been cooked longer. I brought it home and cooked it all and I must say while the flavor was there, there was more bone, fat and gristle than meat. I may go back to try something else but I'm not sure. read more

Dat Fire Jerk Chicken - Large Jerk Chicken Plate with Jerk Chicken, Rice and Peas and Cabbage Slaw. - Caribbean Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Worked with Shelly on catering 4 a work party. Excellent customer service. Great prices. Very professional. Customer 4 life!! Food was delicious!! Large portions! Everyone loved the food! Jerk Chx, Brown Stew Chx, Cabbage & Plantains were amazing! You will be hooked once u eat here!! read more

Referred by a family member, checked it out online. Went to get some food and it was awful. Service extremely rude at counter, my order was missing my 2 sweet potato pies and my kids called it gross. I'm Caribbean American so these flavors were not new to them. The brown stew was slimy- ish and had a smell. Don't waste your time if you want authentic tastes of the Caribbean read more

this place lost a step idk if the cook changed over the years but the food jus isn't that great anymore I barely finished mine last time and my family came in from california got the brown stew and it was not dat fire. read more

Cashier very rude was on her phone while taking my order and very brash when I asked questions about the menu

My jerk chicken just tasted like grilled/smoked meat American dad makes. Was expecting more of a marinated jerk seasoning with *some heat then grilled. Sadly not what I had. Explains why everyone was using so much sauce. read more

For a first time tasting their food, I thought it was yummy! The cabbage and corn, lemon pepper chicken, and vegetable patties were delicious! I would recommend their food to others! read more

I had the jerk chicken and a spicy beef patty. It was delicious and the service is great.

What a wonderful hole in the wall! We were so lucky we found it while we were driving around the stadium area. It has some of the tastiest jerk chicken in Atlanta. Make sure to get extra sauce for the sauce lovers :-) The Oreo cookie pudding is the best. We definitely can't wait to go there again :-) read more

The greens are very sweet and delicious. I got the large chicken and there was enough for two people. Its a small hole in the wall but it is definetely worth trying to locate. I would go back to atlanta to try it again. read more

Super authentic and great service. I've tried everything on the menu. Parking is a bit of a challenge but it's worth it. They are the best Jamaican spot in the city. read more

i called in my order 15 minutes ahead of time and still had to wait an additional 15 minutes for my food. i ordered the Oxtail plate and the meat was bland. the gravy was very bland. the best thing was the cold cabbage. read more

Great jerk chicken in a low key spot. Probably best to take it and go to your own dining table. The seating there isn't great. My only gripe is that I wanted more fire! I was hoping for chicken that would make my mouth swell in pain. I tried pouring more jerk sauce on top, but it was mostly sweet. The flavor is great, just ratchet up the heat! read more

Dat Fire got dat jerk chicken on deck! Best hole in the wall Jamaican joint in the ATL.

Spent $30...scorched Oxtails!! Not even an ounce of Jamaican flavor on them. Jerk chicken tastes like regular grilled chicken with no flavor. I'm sorry but I've been to Jamaica several times and my husband is a chef from Brooklyn NY and he can cook jerk chicken like he is straight from Kingston ya heard. This is not it! The name should simply be Dat Jerk Chicken! Nothing Fire about it! read more

Let me just start by saying 3 stars because I was unimpressed my first visit. I ordered jerk wings & absolutely nothing to brag about. So months later I decided to give them another shot & order something more authentic. Good decision! Ordered the small jerk meal which came with rice & peas, cold cabbage, & plantains. I hated the cold cabbage & now that I replay in my mind, I believe the cashier was trying to tell me I could get collards if I wanted hot veggies but I missed that. I love cabbage & I guess disregarded the cold part apparently. My mistake. Everything else was good but not standout. I was about to make 2 meals out of the small so I'd say good portions. I also ordered a jerk Chicken patty & it was DUH-LICIOUS! Customer service was great both visits. Parking is tight... street or small lot. The place is small & gets crowded in spurts but not a long wait. They're picnic tables outside for dining on a nice day. They have good music playing & nice artwork. Not my favorite but happy I went back. read more

This is my go to spot! I probably come here about once a week and usually get the large jerk chicken or large curry chicken meal (a large meal last me about 2 meals) and it only runs $10. Next time I come I think I'll try the fish fillet meal or the oxtail. Friendly staff as well! read more

Close, but no cigar. It definitely looked legit and I got the island vibe from the decor. Old school dancehall album covers. The semi-rude but expected unfriendly service- and this is not a criticism at all, (note- I'm Jamaican and we can be a bit off-putting) reminded me of a Majah Hype video. The rice and peas were bland and the jerk chicken was even blander. It was more like plain bbq chicken and the seasoning had a little too much sweet and not enough heat. The jerk pork was decent but I doubt that I would go out of my way to pickup food from there anytime soon. read more

Whether it's chicken or pork, this place is so delicious. We drove by Dat Fire while lost and came back two days later for lunch. One large chicken meal and one large pork meal fed three of us easily. The service was great with the chef spending time to talk with us about how he cooks the food. Don't expect fancy tables or any tables at all, but it's well worth the trip. read more

I was first introduced to Dat fire after drinking their rum punch and I must say I am now an addict...it's AMAZING. They just catered my baby shower on February 21, 2015 and my guests as well as myself were beyond pleased! My boyfriend is part Jamaican, him and his family were so amazed at the fact that they found some REAL home food in Atlanta. Everyone went back for 3rds and aside from the occasion the food became the topic of the evening. This was my first time being introduced to Caribbean food and I was fully satisfied! They will definitely be catering any events I hold and I will be sure to tell everyone possible about this genuine people friendly company! read more

I had the jerk chicken..it was the best I ever tasted!!my husband had the ox tails they were falling off the bone!!sooo good!!

Absolutely awful experience!!!! First off I ordered two orders of the jerk chicken tacos which took way longer than it should've. I ordered before at least 5 other people and my tacos came out last! I didn't think jerk chicken tacos took longer than curry goat or even oxtails!!! I also ordered a side order of mac and cheese and also an order of fried plantains and the plantains were BURNT!!!!!! The cashier was nice and polite but she looked at my plantains asked me did I order plantains I said yes then she proceeded with placing the plantains in my bag without showing them to me!!!! After placing them in the bag she then stated that we were waiting on my mac and cheese which was already beyond irritating because I had already waited to long for my food. She did ended up showing me the mac and cheese but still never showed my plantains!!! Please look at the pictures of the plantains.... If I had the time I would've taken them back for a full refund but because of my long wait I was having to rush back to work. They definitely did receive a nasty phone call (which she would not allow me to speak to the manager) but all I know is that this was my first and last time at Dat Fire Jerk Chicken!!!! read more

Dat Fire Jerk Chicken - Caribbean Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

The food was just ok. I was disappointed because several people told me it was great and it got great reviews online. I was surprised too because they had a line out of the door so I knew for sure it was gonna be on point. The jerk chicken wasn't seasoned but it was juicy and not dry. However the jerk sauce with the taste. The jerk pork was not done and very pink in the middle but the pieces that were done were dry but seasoned pretty good. And the sweet potato pie was good and although I liked it warm I don't think it should be stored that way as it makes the crust soggy and mushy. I would probably give it another try to see if it was just a bad day because every restaurant has a bad day - you just don't want the bad day to be on your first try but I'll give it a second try one day and make my final analysis then. Even still the customer service was good. read more

Very disappointing... This is grilled chicken with minimal seasoning. My jerk plate had no jerk lol just black marks from the grill. I had such high hopes for this establishment read more

I love this place. The Jerk Chicken is my favorite very flavorful I can't stop eating once I get started! It's Dat fire, check it out!

I give Dat Fire Jerk Chicken 5 stars because that is the highest that Yelp allows. If I could give it more I would. Hands down the best Jamaican food in Atlanta. Everything from the jerk chicken to the fish to the patties was on point. Chef Jay and Dat Fire Jerk Chicken not only deliver when it comes to the food but also deliver when it comes to top notch customer service. They recently handled all of the food for a recent event I had and they are already locked in to catering future events of mine. I would highly recommend to anyone that loves authentic Jamaican food and who can also appreciate a company that takes pride in their customers and the service that they offer. read more

I wish DAT FIRE much success, they are in the right spot at the right time. The jerk, the rice, everything is on point. Blessings read more

We contacted this restaurant 4 days before our event regarding catering options for a 70+ people. The response was immediate, within 15 minutes, and they were very helpful. By the next day our order was placed, invoice was paid and we were all set for delivery. Delivery was on time and the food (Jerk Chicken and Rice & Peas) was great! They were definitely not shy on the portions and many people took plates home. Would definitely recommend them for catering needs. Very responsive and courteous staff! read more

The restaurant is a unassuming place near the new Mercedes Stadium in Atlanta. Within the restaurant there is no seating to eat, but this does not distract from the fact that you came here to order food and eat. Wait times can be a bit long, but you also get fresh food that has not been prepared 30 mins or more before. Portion sizes here are huge so if you are hungry just get the small lol. Truly the small is enough for two portions (lunch and dinner). Now with a name like Dat Fire Jerk Chicken you would assume the Jerk Chicken was ordered, but as a lover of Jamaican Food I ordered the brown stewed chicken meal which came with shredded cabbage, plantains, and rice for less than 10 days. I then drizzle jerk sauce on the side for the rice to give it a little kick. Last two things, don't forget to order Melvina's bread pudding (to die for) and don't go to this restaurant if you plan on going out afterwards because you will smell like a barbeque pit. Alternatively order your food and wait outside near the terraced area and once the food is ready enjoy outside. read more

I placed a catering order with Dat Fire Jerk Chicken and everything went smoothly! I communicated with the team vial email (was coming in from out-of-town) and Michelle was extremely professional! I picked up the order myself and it was accurate, on-time and tasty! This place will definitely be my go-to for future orders! read more

amazing everything. when i walk in i feel like i'm in Kingston on a hot day gettin some bomb ass curry and a ice cold ting! the prices are great and employees are friendly. family owned and black owned read more

One word that best describes Dat Fire Jerk chicken is ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!! *geesh thats two words! The chicken came right off the grill, moist, crispy seasoned skin and was macheted in front of me and bursting with juicy flavors. Not too spicy but enough "kick" to remind you of the "yaad" Pair this up with a cup of the Dat Fire Rum punch - WINNING!! read more
