Coming from New York, we have a vast amount of restaurants to visit, but after moving to NJ it's hard to find the real deal. THIS was the real deal. I ordered the black rice with turkey. I asked for some gravy and they were able to add it. The server was funny and was able to help me make up my mind. I was NOT disappointed. We even ordered for for my son at home. He loved it! I will definitely come back for some more.

The menu seemed limited and they didn't have the passion fruit juice or offered any other natural juices so I opted for a water. I also ordered the Lalo which wasn't in the list of menu items I was given. If you're coming here for the first time I would just verbally ask for the items you're looking for because most items weren't written out. The Lalo was delicious and tasted authentic. ~$23. The presentation was also beauBe mindful the food does take a while to come out so don't come here in a hurry. Overall I'd be back. I'm impressed with quality and ambiance of the restaurant.

It was easy to find parking nearby on the street, we walked in and were immediately sat down. Service was great throughout the meal. The server did speak primarily to us in Creole. I can see how that may not work for someone who is not Haitian. Maybe having someone who did speak a mix. However, he was very nice and the food came out fast and was delish. Shared a griot fritay to start and it was definitely tasty and portion was good. For entree I had the legume with Beef with black rice. Tasty, spicy, and very authentic tasting. I can say they stay true to the flavors and don't water them down. The drink was ehh. I did not taste much liquor in the creole punch. Not worth it in my opinion. In terms of ambiance, I wish better music was playing. The set up was cool. Nothing amazing. If I was in the area again, I would come back.

We came about two hours before closing on a Saturday, and they were already out of quite a few items, which was understandable given the timing. We ordered the wings, oxtail meal and oxtail pasta, and the food took about 20 minutes to come out. Everything was served hot and well plated. Taste: The food was bussing! Both dishes were delicious, well seasoned, and had a good amount of spice without being overwhelming. The oxtail was flavorful and tender, and the serving sizes definitely surpassed our expectations. We were full and very satisfied. Ambiance: It's a casual spot with a relaxed feel, perfect for grabbing a takeaway meal, I wouldn't plan to eat here though! Overall Review: Jerkies was a great find! Even though they were out of some menu items, what we ordered did not disappoint. The portions were generous, the food was flavorful, and everything came out hot and fresh.
