    Jerk bowl with rice & peas and plantains

    Dat Jerk did NOT disappoint! The jerk chicken was perfectly seasoned with that smoky, spicy kick that hits just right. The rice and peas were flavorful, and the plantains were sweet and fresh. I'll definitely be back!" The customer service at Dat Jerk was amazing! The staff was friendly, welcoming, and patient while I ordered. They made me feel appreciated as a customer. Great vibes all around!"

    Food was delicious. We got the jerk chicken, rice and Mac n cheese. This was my first time here. Of course it has a kick to it but it was delicious. For a bowl, 2 Jamaican beef Patties and a piece of rum cake I paid a little over 30 dollars. Definitely enough food to feed 2. We shared our food and I'm still full Picture was after he took half the food and as you see it's still a good amount

    I've had some Jamaican cuisine but certainly not enough. I found this Maryland chain on Yelp and decided to give it a try! They were pretty busy but the service was excellent! I got the jerk chicken, rice and peas and veggie mix. The meal was fantastic. Flavors are rich and delicious. The chicken was so moist and rice well seasoned. I liked the soda choices to cream soda, pineapple and most all in the fountain. The restaurant was clean however the ice machine was empty, hard to get utensils, and napkins. Also no water, which is really disappointing. I definitely want to return to try the curry!

    ~ As much as I drive past this place, I had to try it. I didn't have my hopes high because I've tried so many restaurants searching for true Caribbean food and my top two were " Hummingbird" and " Jerk at Nite". Other than that.... I'll pass. But this place is not it. I would give it a one star, but the customer service is really really good. They know how to move, keep fresh food coming & Handle in-store and pick up orders as well. So compliments to them. The jerk chicken is bad. It's more like a sweet honey chicken. Great size, but has horrible taste. My advice is to get a bunch of " rude boy jerk sauce" on the side and drown your chicken in that. Cause the chicken itself ain't doing it. I only eat one and give the other piece away. The rice and peas were cooked well. Mac & Cheese was regular. I poured " island BBQ" sauce all over cause the sides were boring. That Island BBQ is amazing tho. Glad I got it out of the way. Never going back, but if I do... it's to get some of that island BBQ sauce for the crib. I spent $26.25 for two 1/2 chickens with 2 sides and two extra sauces. Not bad. Hope you enjoy it. #TeamDiesel

    I've been waiting for this place to open and I'm glad they did. Since I stopped eating meat my straight go to was the salmon. The woman upfront was very helpful and patient. The place was very clean and the music was on theme. The salmon was so flavorful and not over cooked. I loved the sweet and jerk contrast. The cabbage was cooked nicely and the sauce from the salmon tasted well with it too. The plantain was a little overcooked. Some of them were a little dry which was disappointing. Overall, I'd go here again and see what else I can try.

    We were on a road trip and decided to stop here before we hit 95. It was early afternoon, not crowded whatsoever. The space was clean and tidy, playlist on point. The restroom was also clean, just about spotless! We were greeted almost immediately upon walking in and were able to quickly get our order in. The options are plenty and all seem desirable. We both opted for the oxtail, rice & peas, and cabbage entree. We also got the coco bread, pineapple soda, and a side of Mac. The Mac, rice & peas, and coco bread were the stars of our meal whereas the oxtail and cabbage fell a little short. The coco bread was just so nostalgic from my college days and every bite was so delicious. The rice & peas were also tasty, well cooked and perfectly seasoned. The Mac & cheese was goey and creamy HOWEVER... there was PLASTIC in my dish which completely was a bummer and one of the reasons I had to take away a star. When I notified the young lady she apologized and took the plastic-- and didn't give me any further recourse at first. So I just went back and grabbed my entire Mac and came back to the counter to give her the whole thing and that's when she offered to replace the side. I was torn about wanting to get more Mac and did, but now that I think about it I should've opted for something else since arguably that entire pan was/is tainted. The oxtails and its gravy and cabbage did not have that punch of flavor and was borderline bland BUT they were still palatable-- just underwhelming seasoned if you will. The oxtail weren't incredibly tinder fall off the bone but they absolutely weren't tough either and I was still pleased (he had had better). The cabbage had corn in it which was a pleasant surprise and a first for me. All in all, I would give this place another go. I'm a curry girl so would wanna try that and their brown stew chicken.

    I wanted takeout jerk chicken with callaloo and rice/peas and to watch March Madness with a beer or…read moretwo while I waited.... Bad idea! The food was so bad...mushy rice and peas, the callaloo was baby food, and the baked chicken was well coated in the store bought sauce. I also sat and waited an extra 30 minutes for beef patties which never came. Adding insult to flavor injury, this place is a hip hop nightclub! Sat there for over an hour and nothing came on but old school hip hop. I asked for my money back and the lady said "I don't know about island food but that's what trini greens look like." I hate bashing minority businesses but this place is disrespectful. Hopefully they improve drastically in order to survive but, for right now, never come here for food. Sorry...and not sorry.

The restaurant is easy to find, with close-by paid parking. I tried the sample plate with curry chicken, white rice, and cabbage. The curry chicken was flavorful and tender -- truly delicious! The cabbage was seasoned just right, adding that authentic Caribbean touch. I was a little surprised to receive white rice instead of rice & peas (which I usually expect with Caribbean dishes), so that was a little disappointing. I was expecting $18 value platter but received a ($15) value platter. It appears it may come alive at night -- with a DJ, happy hour specials, and a lounge vibe. Overall, Caribbean Dynasty offers great flavors, friendly service for a grab a go lunch order .

It's pretty small on the inside, about 4 small tables but the atmosphere is calm and home like. I ordered the curry goat with Mac and cheese and cabbage. I also ordered coco bread and a beef pattie. The pattie was flaky and the beef was seasoned well. I enjoyed it. The coco bread was soft and dense. Very good. The goat was tender and the curry was nice and thick. I loved how I actually received a lot of meat and not just a lot of bones. The curry was so good. Very authentic!! The Mac and cheese was also surprisingly good as well. It was NOT macaroni pie! It was seasoned well and a good amount of cheese although I don't think much sharp cheddar was used. Regardless, I liked it!! The cabbage was seasoned down!!! No doubt about that I just prefer mine to have a little more crunch to it. It was a little too soft for my liking but it was still very good!! I would absolutely eat here again.

It lacked any spices and was flat in flavor. They seemed packed and busy with orders when I arrived to pick mine up. They also have a $7.99 chicken and rice special with a surprise side.

Honorable mention for the Large curry chicken from my last visit. *chef's kiss* This is a Jamaican carryout that I truly enjoy. Their pricing is great and you really get a bang for your buck on the lunch specials. My only issue is that they package extremely hot food w/gravy, liquids, etc inside of clear plastic containers with no seal (wrapped in plastic wrap). You'd be better suited to start using containers with the ability to close completely so customers can avoid spills when transporting their food. I place emphasis on packaging bc this isn't in the greatest location and it's more of a grab-n-go environment. Otherwise, the food is very good. I'm ordering oxtail later today. Prior to now, I had the small curry chicken ($7/8) which I LOVED & it came with cabbage and rice. Portions are great in proportion to price and the food is always flavorful. I'll keep coming back.
