So, Max Grill Jerk & BBQ was a pleasant find. I ordered a half dark jerk chicken with riceppp and peas, macaroni and cheese, and yams. I also ordered curry shrimp with cabbage and yams. Both dishes were outstanding. I thoroughly appreciate the jerk sauce having heat to it. The portions were substantial. I was already sold on how good everything tasted, but they clearly are not ones for giving a scoop of anything. This surpassed my expectations.

I went with the Jerk Chicken Alfredo, which sounded like an interesting combo and it totally delivered. The Alfredo sauce was creamy and flavorful without being too heavy, and you could tell it was made fresh. It had a nice buttery taste, and there was just enough spice to keep things interesting without overwhelming the whole dish. But the jerk chicken? That was the star. It had a deep, smoky flavor and a heat that built up slowly with each bite, not in a "mouth on fire" way, but enough to remind you it means business. The outside had a good char that added a little crunch, while the inside stayed super tender and juicy. You can tell they know what they're doing with that grill. The bell peppers mixed in were a nice touch, added a bit of crunch and sweetness to balance things out. It's a simple dish, but everything worked together really well. The portion was solid, definitely enough to fill you up and I left full and happy. If you're looking for something flavorful and comforting, especially on a cold day, this is the move. I'll definitely be back.

Food smelled phenomenal on the ride back, but possibly the jerk chicken suffered as a result of sitting. Was a great flavor, not hot as expected, and would definitely get again.
