Oxtails and rice and beans, half eaten
Dina B.

The food is good. First off my husband had a taste for Caribbean food so I went on a mission to find some. I obviously don't pay attention to detail because I didn't realize that this is not a restaurant. One has to pick it up after you order and pay for it first, and because it's cooked to order it's ready the next day. I wanted to try all the meats, chicken, ribs and shrimp. I didn't know how to order being this was our first time. I had a few mishaps with getting the food, but eventually we did get it and thought it is worth the price. It was my first experience ordering from a vendor. The experience is not for us. Having it cooked wherever and paying first was not our preference. But, again the food is good. I would definitely go to his restaurant when and if there is one one day.

Business card and delicious smoothie
Chree R.

Food was amazing! I got the jerk shrimp with rice and peas. I also got a smoothie that tasted just as good as the food! Had me thinking I was on vacay in Jamaica :) The vibes from the chef made me feel at home. You can tell he loves his craft and that translates to the taste of his food and drinks as well. I ordered for myself but he does catering. Thinking of having a party or even a small gathering, search no further! Try for yourself and see.

Jerk chicken, red beans and rice and plantains with a side salad.

So excited to find some authentic Jamaican jerk chicken. Ordered the night before via text. Gave the time I would pick up. Demetrius reached out with the price and met me out front with my food. Jerk Chicken, (two nice thighs), red beans and rice and plantains for only $12.00. Pipping hot and full of that delicious jerk flavor. Can't wait to try his ribs next time. Do yourself a favor and try his food. You won't be disappointed.

Oxtail over white rice and plantain

Compliments to Demetrius and Donna for this Master piece. The oxtails are ALWAYS a 10/10. #Tendernism is to be expected. Service is 10/10. PICK UP ONLY. Make sure to order A DAY ahead of time as food is made to order and takes 2hr+ love to create.

Jerk Half Rack Smoked Ribs with Rice and Red Beans. A side of Jam N Mac and Jerk Chicken with Rice and Red Beans with 2 Fried Plantains.

I placed three orders the day before as usual. My ordered was the Jerk Shrimp which comes with the mango salsa combo with Red Rice with Beans and side of salad and 1/2 a rack of Jerk Smoked Ribs with some of the medium spicy BBQ sauce on the side. My wife ordered something else (will write her own review. As usual, my dinner was delicious. Our dinner was hot when we picked them up. It was hot when we got to our friend's house to eat our dinner while watching the Warriors basketball game. The last time I had the Jerk Shrimp Combo, I had the Jerk BBQ Chicken with it. This time, I had the Jerk Smoked Ribs. Both were delicious!! My next meal will have to be the Rasta Pasta and something else. Price was reasonable for the amount of food they offered. The owners Demitreus and Donna are the nicest people. They have texted me each time we bought our meals from them asking how was our dinner or if we enjoyed our food. Great customer service. My wife and I would highly recommend Jam N Jerk Kitchen if you're in the mood for some delicious Carribean

Ask the Community - Jam N Jerk Kitchen

Where is this location?

We are located in Pleasant Hill. We are not a restaurant, but a vendor that specializes in Jamaican Jerk and Jamaican Food Takeout Plates. To order call or text 510-978-1121

I'm confused by the website. I see pictures of delicious-looking food but no descriptions or prices. When I click on "Order Now", there's just a phone number. Does the person who answers the phone read the entire menu to me?

I apologize for the inconvenience. I now properly arranged my website to add and display my prices for the customer's convenience of ordering. I hope that you check out my website again to see what dishes you would like to enjoy. Again, I apologize…

I know that a lot of people reading this review are looking for a comparison between the restaurants. Usually, others are split on this opinion when I mention it. So here's my why. The seafood menu selection is the same as most crab boil spots. I ordered the deveined/headless shrimp on my last visit. The spicy sauce was def spicy! Shrimp was cooked perfectly, not overcooked like I've had at other places. They give a generous portion of sauce, which is necessary to pour over some white rice! The appetizer selection at Cajun Crack'n is elite! The fried oysters are my favorite! I've also had the wings, fried mozzarella and Crawfish fried rice. All delicious choices! Can't wait for my next visit!

Ordered the Special Combo #1 with the House Special Sauce at medium, and overall it was really…read moregood. The combo had a nice variety with shrimp, crab legs, sausage, corn, potatoes, and egg, and everything was cooked well. The house special sauce was buttery, garlicky, flavorful, and the medium spice level had just the right amount of heat without being too much. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the sauce was a little on the salty side. It was still delicious, but after a while the saltiness started to stand out. If they dialed that back just a bit, it'd be even better. Overall, I'd definitely come back. Good portions, great flavor, and a solid spot when you're craving a seafood boil.

I'm updating my review I've been back twice since Mother's Day and Sunday I came for dollar oyster…read moreday ! They did not disappoint! I was expecting maybe smaller oysters for the deal but no ! They were big creamy fresh oysters that you'd get any other day but for a dollar ! It's only for Sunday Monday while supplies last ! Wences you guys will be seeing me more often . We also tried the seafood grill which comes with salmon halibut scallops prawns topped with a creamy lemon sauce . Grilled veggies and polenta . First impression I was skeptical of the polenta because it looked like corn bread but you take one bite it melts like butter in your mouth . So creamy . The flavor amazing ! Fish was cooked to perfection . I would have liked the sauce to have more of that lemon in there but nothing a squeeze of lemon yourself can't fix . The citrus habanero scallops .... Were also cooked to perfection . Not chewy at all . A little underwhelming with the flavor description though . There was not a lick of habanero or any spice whatsoever or citrus . It was a very sweet sauce . Wasn't bad just not what was described my only complaint . And being they come by themselves maybe six instead of four would be nice ?? Besides that there are soooo many things I'm excited to try from the menu . I think my next choice will be the lamb chops !!! Waiters are always supper friendly and I'm not sure if it's the manager or owner but he too is always around when I come and is very attentive as well always checking and conversing with the customers . Wences is nice for indoor or outdoor seating ! It's family friendly or even date night . Pretty much if you and your crew love a nice vibe with good quality seafood i definitely recommend this place .

For my bday, I chose Wence's to try out because of the mussels and calamari. If you follow me, you…read moreknow that we are always on the hunt for the best mussels and calamari. We sat out on the covered patio and got to enjoy some World Cup during dinner as well. Our meal: Non alcoholic cucumber pineapple drink sounded good but was lacking in flavor. Didn't get the taste of any juice. The fried calamari was very over cooked and we should have sent it back. You know it's over cooked when the tentacles have to be spit out and the body parts aren't chewable. Beet salad wasn't bad. Generous chunks of red and golden beets at the bottom, topped with arugula, a quarter sliced avocado and some candied nuts. The flavors were solid. The mussels were good with a little kick. The mussels were cooked perfectly and the beard was gone. It's served with 4 points of a cheese type bread. The bread wasn't toasty. It would have been better with fries. The tempura oysters were our favorite of the meal. Light breading served with cocktail sauce and a soy based dip. We liked the soy based dip. Service was good, parking convenient. Because of the location, the place appears to be more of a locals hangout which is nice to have. I'm going to pass on returning here for now. You give it a try please. Support this local business.

I heard about this restaurant from my brother, and we decided to give it a try. My first…read moreimpression walking into it was that the restaurant was surprisingly huge inside, and I loved how well air conditioned it was, especially on a hot day. Overall, the place felt very clean, tidy, and well organized. The service was also great and staff were friendly and welcoming, which was definitely a plus. Now, let's get to the food review. Original Sisig Kapampangan: Absolutely delicious. It was served on a hot plate and had a savory, creamy flavor (possibly from the mayonnaise) while still tasting a bit tangy once you squeezed lemon over it. I'd definitely order this again. Beef Brisket Kare Kare: I honestly thought I didn't like kare kare until I tried their version. The peanut sauce was rich and savory without tasting like peanut butter in a jar like Skippy. The beef was tender, and I also loved the assortment of vegetables included in the dish. What really took it to another level, though, was the bagoong sauce (on the side), which paired so well with this dish. This dish was absolutely yummy. Sizzling Beef Brisket Ala Pobre: We were really excited to try this because we'd heard great things about it, but unfortunately, it didn't really deliver. The flavor was pretty bland, and even though it was topped with fried garlic, it was still missing a strong garlic flavor. The beef itself was tender, which was probably the only good thing about the dish, but aside from that, the sauce and overall flavor were just underwhelming. Garlic Rice: This came in a pretty generous portion enough for three. I could definitely taste the garlic, but I think it could've used a little more. Still, it was good overall.

I went early on a Saturday evening with a group of 7. We got seated quickly. Beware, groups of 5 or more are hit with a mandatory service charge. 18% for 5-6, 20% for 7-20, and 22% for 30 or more guests (see picture). I know it's customary for restaurants to levy a mandatory charge for big groups but they usually make us aware of it. The hostess or wait staff did not make us aware of this mandatory charge. 12 minutes passed after being seated and no one had approached us to take our order or give us water. We had to flag down a passing waitress to let her know we were ready to order. Apparently, tables are not assigned a dedicated waiter/waitress. From what I could see there was only 4 available wait staff for the whole restaurant; not enough for a busy Saturday night. Whenever we needed anything we had to flag down a passing waiter/waitress. They were doing their best, but they were clearly overwhelmed. We ordered some pancit and the Sulit Bilao # 3 which is a huge platter costing over $129; to our surprise it didn't come with any bagoong. We had to flag down the waitress again and ask for some and we were shocked when she said she could only give us 1; any more would have to be charged. I said that's fine but didn't realize each container was tiny; and each extra one cost $2! (see picture). For ordering a platter this size, I think that's very stingy. The food was ok. The waiters and waitresses were friendly and did their best. I cannot in good faith recommend this place until they get their staffing level and processes in order.
