My wife doesn't like things too spicy so the Stew Chicken was perfect for her. The chicken was tender and full of flavor. It comes with a side of plantains or veggies - we chose the veggies (cabbage and carrots) that complimented the dish perfectly. The rice and beans had a hint of coconut, which really elevates the taste. The Roti Curry Chicken was excellent. The curry had some heat but not overpowering. Its flavor had a lot of depth, which made it very enjoyable to eat with the fluffy and warm roti. The chicken was tender again, this time paired with carrots and potatoes. We finished the meal with a slice of their Coconut Pina Colada cake. That was delicious as well, as we could really taste the pineapple and coconut blend. Loved everything we ordered. Can't wait to try the other menu items soon!

We ordered - Regular beef patty - flaky and filled just right, but flavor a bit bland, and filling looks suspicious Fried chicken w/rice,peas,plantains - chicken not as crispy but seasoning and sides delicious Jerk Chicken w/rice,peas,vegetables - tasty, on-point DG pineapple ginger soda - surprisingly unique and tasty, not so sweet - but VERY SUGARY Be aware of Island timing service and increase your patience levels. Staff forgot my beef patty (it wasn't busy, we were the only customer) , so i had to return for it. Overall a good value and taste, I'd return!

It came out juicy, tender and flavorful, even more so when I added the extra jerk sauce that came on the side. Chef Cani told me that he used the back leg of the pork. Too bad Jerk On The Water does not sell any alcohol. I would have paired the pork with an ice cold bottle of Red Stripe Beer. This is a take out place with some outdoor seating overlooking the water. There are four tables outside, each of which has three chairs. CAVEAT EMPTOR: CASH ONLY AT THE WINDOW OR PAY BY CARD AT THE KIOSK!!! However, the kiosk's menu was hard to read due to the sunlight.

Ordered oxtail and red peas soup…read more The flavor of the oxtail was great but the meat was tough and chewy. A few peaces were tender but not evenly cooked. The rice and pease was good and soft. I def wished they put more veggies since I ordered half rice / half veggies. As you can tell from the pic - this was NOT half veggies The red peas soup was just okay - the flavor was a little off. This place offers the lowest price for oxtail around at $15. Taking that into consideration, I'm still not entirely sure whether or not I'd give this place another try - given there are def better options that are worth the $5 or $6 price difference

The only food inside the display looked to be escovitch chicken tenders or some sort of escovitch tilapia..idk. I drove there specifically for beef patties, sign in patty display says "NO PATTIES". So I said ok, well let me get soup. I ordered a small chicken soup. Soup looked good. I kid you not, the woman came around the corner with a wooden toothpick picking her teeth to give me the container of soup. I was literally the only customer in there, was she going to get gingivitis in the 1 minute she could have waited for me to at least leave the restaurant without having seen it. Now how am I to comfortably eat this soup?...How? How I ask you?!?! The thing is with food at restaurants, you know in the back of your head some places don't do things to the highest standards but blatantly doing it in front of you like it's nothing is disgusting. I can only imagine what's done in the back.

Lunch starts at around 11:30am 2) not everything is available every day We tried the goat curry (medium), jerk chicken (large), chicken patty, and spicy beef patty. At first , it seemed pricey, but I can safely say, EVERYTHING WAS VERY WORTH. large jerk chicken is enough for two full meals. I'm a grown male and I barely ate half in one sitting. (Tip: ask for the ox tail sauce/gravy on the chicken and rice!) My favorite item hands down was the spicy beef patty though. Homemade. Full of flavor. Crunchy and flaky. Will definitely visit again

I ordered the oxtail and didn't really like the sauce but that's a personal thing. I ordered the curry goat and salmon burger to take home as well as calamari. None were really great, just ok. The calamari at the restaurant had some peppers and ginger which gave it a kick. The one I ordered to go had nothing but fried calamari, unfortunately I was home so couldn't take it back. The drinks!! I am definitely skipping this next time. A cocktail is $48 plus gratuity and tax means spending $55 on a cocktail drink. Nooooo!!! Even in Vegas, I didn't spend this much on a cocktail drink! I was alarmed at my check. It was so high for lunch but now I know better. Plus watch out for the 22% gratuity! The waiter wouldn't split the bill so my takeout was lumped into the entire check and had to pay 22% gratuity on the takeout!!) I gave a low score because of the sneaky high check and the food which was just ok. The food presentation was amazing though. That's a 10/10.

Food is solid Jamaican fare. Oxtails are meaty and tender. With traditional rice and Peas, which could've used a likkle more love, as the rice was overcooked and not many peas. With gravy, almost mush but seasoned good tho. Appreciated the Steamed carrots. Needed more. Also, only came with 1 small broccoli stem. Plate was majority rice. Jerk Chicken is heavily browned, seasoned well but baked not grilled. If it is grilled, its a gas grill & no Pimento leaves, while also being buried in tons of sauce. Carrot cake was delicious. Light and not overly sweet. Golden raisins give a nice touch! Frosting is decadent but not cloying. Honestly, would give a 3.8 vs solid 4 but Service was exceptional and efficient. Overall, would definitely revisit. More for an intimate dining experience vs. large group.

(Although I prefer the Jamaican rice) I tried the Mac and cheese. I was let down. Way too spicy and needed more flavor for me. The chicken was good. It would have been great with the rice that was missing. I am giving it four stars because my boyfriend enjoyed the chicken.
