    Women rude makes you not want to come to restaurant

    The women working at this restaurant are rude. Need to be trained in hospitality. I wish that I had a better experience.

    Veggie Bowl
    Capri L.

    Hey friends! I had an intense craving for some great mac & cheese. I had it years ago at the Waldorf location and decided to try this closet location. I ordered the veggie platter. You're allowed to choose any 3 combination of sides. Some sides are an additional charge such as the Mac & cheese. I ordered rice and peas, Mac and cabbage. I also ordered potato salad as an extra side. Everything thing was delicious. The Mac and cheese was perfect as always. Rice and peas had an authentic flavor. Cabbage was seasoned well. Only distaste is I wished the potatoes in the potato salad were boiled a little longer, they were a little hard. I ordered on UberEats, so no details to provide on customer service, parking etc. I'll be ordering here regularly. Hope you enjoy! With love, The Picky Pescatarian.

    Everything was great! Shirley behind the desk was a great help! The food was delicious!

    The food portions are large but fries were a bit salty. I loved the quiet and spacious interior and the service was wonderful. I will definitely return and try something else from the eclectic menu.

    We try to come once a month here. Delicious Jamaican food. I had the curry chicken roti last time ( didn't take pic) which was huge! Recently I had chicken stew in a bowl with veggies and Mac and cheese. The chicken is dripping with excellent curry flavors and the Mac and cheese was in point!! Price is great for the amount of food you get. The ambience is because there's reggae music and service was on point. Not table service

    Mac & cheese

    I was shopping in the mall when I decided to check this black owned restaurant out from my Yelp list. The restaurant was clean and I was immediately greeted upon entering. Jamaican music was playing as well in the background. I pondered over the menu for a bit and finally decided on the oxtail dinner with a side of Mac and cheese. After my order was ready, I went back to order my husband a jerk chicken dinner because what is he going to eat. When I got home I was ready to jump right into my oxtail dinner however, it was a complete miss for me. The oxtail was bland, lacked flavor and seasoning. The Mac & cheese was pretty good. The restaurant has plenty of space inside and outdoor seating as well. The restaurant is located on the outside of the mall along with other businesses. Parking is apart of the mall parking lot which gets super busy on weekends. I may need to come back to try another menu item sometime in the distant future.

    Carribbean/Jamaican food is one of my favorites but it can be hit or miss as I've tried a few other places in the past in malls and they were pretty bad. I wasn't sure what to expect here but yes, pleasantly surprised. It's kind of like a Caribbean/Jamaican Chipotle as you order at the counter and pick a bowl/salad/roti, then pick your protein, and 2 sides plus options for sauces. I go with the Brown Stew Chicken bowl with rice and peas and plaintain. The wife goes with her mainstay, Curry Chicken with a salad and peas and rice. You get a good amount of food as it isn't cheap ($16 for the bowl). The food is legit...I don't get to Columbia Mall that often but plan on coming back for sure. A few notes - 1. You can ask for gravy on your rice and peas so ask for it. 2. The spicy sauce is good but I liked the Rude Boy. The BBQ sauce is a bit sweet but pretty good as well. 3. The restaurant is located in the outdoor square area with several restaurants and not in the mall (behind Maggiano's). Google Maps may take you to the other side of the mall which is what happened to us.

    Curry chicken with peas and rice, plantain, and a fountain drink.

    The food was better than I thought it would be, and you get a good-sized serving. I had curry chicken, which came with peas, rice, plantain, and a fountain soda. The cost was $20, which I thought was a bit pricey for what I ordered. The service was very good, and the store ambiance was casual.

    I was in the area after a retwist appointment and originally planned to grab seafood, but the place I wanted to visit was closed. Not wanting to wait around, I decided to try something Caribbean, and I'm so glad I did--this spot did not disappoint! The portion sizes were generous, and the price was reasonable for the amount of food. I ordered the oxtails with cabbage, mac and cheese, and coco bread. The oxtails were incredibly tender and seasoned to perfection--literally falling off the bone! The cabbage was well-seasoned and flavorful. The mac and cheese was so good, it reminded me of the homemade version I grew up with in North Carolina--rich and comforting. The only small letdown was the coco bread--it wasn't as soft as I expected and was a bit on the hard side. But overall, I'll definitely be coming back to Dat Jerk again! Since it was my first time here, the young lady taking my order was really patient and helpful. I appreciated her guidance. Also, the space is great--there's plenty of seating inside, plus outdoor seating if you decide to dine in.

    Oxtails, Mac and cheese, vegetables
    Khadijat R.

    Yummy eats at a typical price. The oxtails were flavorful but needed some spice. Mac and cheese was good and the vegetables were buttered up! I loved the music playing and the lighting was great. The business may want to consider displaying deserts, offering spice on the side, and retraining on making roti.

    Meat loaf, rice and peas, cabbage
    Thembi S.

    For fast food, this Caribbean place hit the spot! I was at Columbia Mall and had to go in for further investigation as I passed by Dat Jerk. It's a new build space on the upper level of the mall, near the Seasons 52. It's fairly spacious in there with high ceilings. On trend Caribbean music was playing at a reasonable level as I approached the counter. I immediately let the employee waiting for my order know that I'd never been before and didn't know what was what at Dat Jerk. She explained the basic ordering process to me and then I perused the menu. Something about the meatloaf spoke to me, so I got a platter of that with rice and beans and cabbage. I paid and left with the food. Overall I think the food was very good, but I would have preferred that the accompanying sauce had some spice to it...actually A LOT of spice. I'll definitely be back to try some other menu items.

    Happy to see Dat Jerk in Columbia! Their menu is so delicious! This location is in a nice spot with a lot of seating and a clean dining room. Today we got curry chicken with rice and peas as well as jerk chicken with Cajun fries and stir fry vegetables. The curry chicken was like a warm hug and it was delicious! The jerk chicken and veggies were also tasty. However the fries came after we finished eating and they weren't very good. The sauces were awesome too. The restaurant gives you a silverware packet with one napkin, salt/pepper, knife and fork. This was slightly annoying as the chicken can be messy and I had to go to the bathroom for a napkin. Also I needed more salt and was out of luck! Please provide these items! Overall good meal and portions.

    Old harbor bay shrimp

    Brought my mom here on a Sunday in May and the line was wrapped around the restaurant. My mom and I love Jamaican food so we were eager to try so to me, the line was worth the wait. We ordered curry chicken that came with 2 sides (rice & peas and plantain), oxtails (rice & peas and stir fry vegetables), roti and a 1/2 pound of old harbor bay shrimp. I enjoyed my food but my mom expected more spice and gravy in her oxtails. I'll definitely return to try some other items but on a not-so busy day. They ran out of many beverages, including bottled water. And if you eat outside, there's only 1 way out so if you have to go back in, you have to go through the gate back and around to the main door entrance.

We were unable to get much attention from our server due to how busy the restaurant was, but the dishes were left mostly untouched for a reason. For a $40 entrée, we expected much better quality and execution. Sadly, The Food Market did not deliver.

Specifically, the chicken is dry and lacking flavor. The sauces (sesame ginger and the yum yum sauce) didn't compliment the food well either. It tasted like artificial fast food salad sauces instead of having true Asian flavors. The different ingredients in general didn't mesh well, as they all have an interesting additional flavor. (Like the kale has a weirdly sweet tartness to it that doesn't match Korean bibimbap flavors). I would not go again! That said, the service was great! The cashier was super friendly and kind. :)

The menu offers a nice balance between curated bowls and build-your-own options, and everything on display looked vibrant and genuinely fresh. Even the subtle aroma of garlic in the air set the tone in the best way. I don't usually go for chicken (I cook enough of it at home), but being from Hawaii, there was no way I was passing up on their limited-time Huli Huli chicken. For those unfamiliar, traditional Huli Huli chicken is typically bone-in, skin-on, soaked in a brine, marinated with a blend of soy sauce, ginger, brown sugar, garlic, and pineapple juice maybe rice vinegar or ketchup, it's all left to the cook. Basted several times as the meat is flipped until fully cooked. Back home, you don't just eat it--you experience it. You smell it long before you see it--grilling on those iconic half oil drum kettles along the roadside, often set up for fundraisers or local gatherings. The sight of chicken quarters being flipped ("huli" means "turn") and basted over open flames is pure island nostalgia. So yes, expectations were high. I was offered a sample, and it delivered. The flavor balance was spot on--savory, slightly sweet, and deeply satisfying. The chicken itself was moist and tender. The only thing missing was that classic crispy, charred skin and the full leg quarter presentation you'd find back home--but even so, it didn't disappoint and left me wanting more. My bowl came together beautifully with coconut sweet potato sauce, fresh spinach, garlicky cilantro green beans, and basmati rice. It was flavorful, well-balanced, and delicious. Service was another highlight--the staff was friendly, patient and helpful with recommendations. The space itself is not large to eat in but it was clean, bright with ocean-toned blues that nod to its island inspiration. I'll definitely be back--especially while that Huli Huli chicken is still on the menu.

The bartender was super engaging and you can tell he loved his job. He was extremely knowledgeable on all the menus which we found impressive! Everything we ordered was very good.

It took 20 minutes to get 2 beers brought to my tables I ended up having to go get the waiter ask if my beers were ready and when we asked for crackers or bread, he told me that he couldn't bring it unless he charged $$$ me for it. Now that is ridiculous. I've never been charged for bread or even just crackers or something to nibble on while you order and wait for your food, but they have decided here that they're gonna start charging for that. Ridiculous!!!!!! and it started out the evening by pissing me off. So after I actually went to the bar to get my own drink, cause I got tired of waiting the guy..... he finally took our order and I ordered a beet salad thinking it had some kind of dressing with a little ranch on the side. Well, I got a salad with no dressing with a little dipper for ranch dressing and had to order regular dressing in addition. I think this was probably the dumb waiter fault for not making it clear to the kitchen that I wanted the salad with the dressing and a little ranch on the side. So blaming him... Second of all, my Date ordered the cauliflower steak, NOTE: couple of big problems. First of all you couldn't cut it with the butter knife that they gave you so it was pretty close to raw versus cooked and so she was trying to saw through it multiple times. When she did get a bite, it was SO OVER SPICY that It burned her tongue off and she ended up only being able to eat 1/2 of her entrée because it was so spicy so that was a bummer. ( not great if you're on a date, ) and I ordered the spaghetti and clams, there were a total of 4 clams in the whole dish, a bunch of chopped canned clams and only enough spaghetti to feed a 5 year-old also ......... it was very small, not very much flavor and for $27 I expected more. So overall, it was kind of disappointing as you can see and for that reason I don't think I'll be going bad and wouldn't recommend it to anyone else because it doesn't seem like they're on the game for the prices they charge. You guys need to pick it up a big notch ...... make your entrées worth eating or buying and improve your service. Sorry, but that's the truth.
