It was a long day for both of us and on the way home decided to try this place. It's small and it doesn't have a warm or inviting feel to it. Small tables if you want to dine in. We decided to take it home. We both got the jerk chicken dark and asked for the candied yams for our side. They were out of that as well as the mac-n-cheese, which was our second option. This was a bit disappointing. The lady behind the counter finally said that they only had cabbage, corn and string beans for the sides. We decided to get the corn. We liked the spiciness of the sauce that came on the side, but it is in a small container for the dinner size. The chicken is good and so was the rice and beans. The corn was from a can with seasoning, but it wasn't bad. My husband was missing his plaintain, but wasn't too upset because he has never had it before. read more

This shit was terrible the cashier big fat guy was at the cash register nodding off like he been out west ... I knew something was wrong when he said it will be ready in 10 min ... 2 whole chicken 2 large rice an large cabbage ...... #Dontdoit read more

PROS Food is delicious. Seems authentic CONS dine-in is not a good option. if you dine-in, they serve your meal in a to-go box with a plastic fork. For the price, this should change. Sauce comes in the tiniest plastic container. You dont get much, even with the dinner portion. They charge for extra. PRICE : Lunch seems to be the best time to visit. They won't honor lunch specials even if youre one minute past 3pm. Dinner was a bit pricey. read more

I've seen this place for a while since I live nearby and finally decided to give it a try. The customer service could've been better. I say that because the woman was behind the window eating her food, seen me come in, greeted me...but didn't come take my order until she took another 3-4 bites of her food. I ordered the jerk wing dinner. it was great! Best jerk rice I've had. Plantains perfectly cooked. I will be returning. Best Jerk Chicken in the south burbs. I hope the Customer service is better the next time around. read more

I think the rudeness on the phone is a defense mechanism As a result of language insecurity . However, the food is good, but why you out of the mac n cheese read more

The best jerk chicken around, always tastes good ,love the vibe in here, love the customer service And love the family good people.

Stopped here to grab 8 jerk wings a couple of days ago. Those wings were harder than N.W.A in 1989...they tasted damn near petrified. There was no moisture at all...it was like eating fossilized wings. I live three towns away so I didn't drive 15 minutes back, but hell, I'm never going back to this spot again anyway! read more

Servings were not worth the money. I was not pleased with the amount and I called not to complain but to tell the owner about my findings. The pan was full of gravy and 3 servings of fish. I was advised that some people like lots of gravy with the Jerk Fish. I purchased the small pan for $75.00 bucks. read more

Save your money. Today i bought 2 dark chicken dinners and 2 catfish dinners. Both were terrible string beans were sour. Red beans and rice had no flavor whatsoever. And they catfish and chicken tasted old like it had been just warmed up. Food not fresh here at all. Please just save your money i wish i would have saved my 50 bucks! read more

Go here now! There are only a handful of Jamaican restaurants in the south suburbs and this is the best and most authentic. I've sampled them all. Unfortunately, the places out there have a reputation for cutting corners. Serving only grilled chicken without jerk seasoning or passing off ZATARINS as rice and peas...Not at Jamaican Jerk Flavors. The jerk sauce could be spicier but its still a solid jerk sauce. The rice and peas are amazing and a meal within itself. REAL rice and peas cooked with love, NOT from a box! The chicken is always grilled to perfection and apparently marinated. It is a family run business. The boys work the front and dad is in the back working his magic *literally. Ting is also sold here. There's plenty of parking too. read more

The restaurant put out flyers on everyone's vehicle in the parking lot, so I figured today I would order some food. Well it would be nice if they'd answer the phone so customers could put in orders. I've called 5 times already and their business phone keeps ringing. Mind you the place opens at 11am. The message keeps saying,"please enter your remote access code". Forget it! I don't have the patience. read more

the worst food i have ever had, the food was terrible and tasted old. i got so sick to my stomach for a week after i ate here, and the worst customer service. dont't eat here if you know what's good for you terrible food and terrible service read more

Do not sleep on this gem. This restaurant was a great surprise for me. The food was finger linking good. The jerk spices were not over powering. Selections are prepared quick and fresh. The service was good and the small restaurant was clean. Looking forward to my next visit after church in the south suburbs. read more

I'm surprised by all of the negative ratings regarding the service - I went in for a late weekday lunch and the only lady working there was very pleasant. I ordered the jerk tacos and rice and beans and both were very tasty. This is more of a take out spot as they only have two tables inside and one outside. read more

This place was not good. I am of Caribbean descent and try to support restaurants. The jerk chicken does not have a true jerk smokiness to it. The food is below average read more

Contrary to what everyone else has said, the people in this place were super polite. They were singing and having a nice time. I appreciated the authentic feel. Plus, they have Ting. I will add that the jerk chicken was awesome. Their sauce has a citrus taste to it that I loved with a great kick of heat to it. Very enjoyable. I wish it was closer because I would be a regular. read more

I've been here twice. The first time was an ok experience. Just remember them being pricey and food taking about 10-15mins but not bad. The 2nd visit was different. Ordered food and was told it would take 15mins for rice to be cooked. I paid, then left, then came back and waited 15 more mins for someone to tell me my food wasn't ready. Waited some more and then got my food. It took a total of 75mims from when the order was place for me to get my food. To top it off the cashier tried to charge $1 for extra sauce. Smh avoid this place. read more

The food here is really good!! I live in the city and this is my favorite restaurant, I sometimes come all the way to the south burbs just for it! The chicken is juicy and full of flavor. The sides are delicious and always taste fresh. Authentic jerk flavor. The right amount of spice. I only wish they were in the city! I love this place. read more

I tried this place last week and I got the jerk chicken lunch which came with sauce on the side, rice and peas (beans), and cabbage. The rice and peas as its called was very good and so was the cabbage. The jerk chicken was dry and small pieces of meat. I am mixed about my feelings about this place. I miss the Jamaican food in LA cause the Jamaicans can really throw down there in LA. This place in Matteson didn't even have festival bread and gave me one hard piece of wheat bread which I threw away. I am not going back there either. I think I will try the other Carribean food on 159th on route 6 between south holland and markham next time. read more

Ordered thru GrubHub for delivery, delivery time was going to be over an hour so I decided to go up there since only about 5 minutes away. Once up there the lady there, was advised she had not received the order yet, I showed her the order confirmation in my email and then she told me that they did not have 2 of the items I wanted and even if I did still want delivery that wouldn't happen as they had no driver. As I'm telling the lady to just cancel my order, I get an email that THEY are cancelling my order (the order they never got) due to unfortunate circumstances...ya think! read more

Polite service and speedy. Chicken was moist with jerk sauce on the side. Cabbage was tender also. Thoroughly enjoyed the food.

They suck. We called and there was no professional greeting. We ordered $50 worth of food and got about $10 worth of actual food. The portions of chicken and cat fish was ridiculously small. Ruined our lunch and my birthday. read more

They food is pretty good. Beans anz rice is fire. Chick portions are ok. Been to other places and they seems to pack your plate. The fish is ok i am not impressed with. The few times i got it i was always disappointed. I would recommened you at least try it and be clear with your orders. They do not deliver at all. read more

The food was amazing! I ordered a dark dinner with a side of wing. The plantain was cooked perfectly. I thought the serving of rice and beans was too large, but some people like that. Better too much than not enough, right? The cabbage was also tasty. I'll definitely be back! read more

Jerk chicken was delicious! Tasty bread. Friendly service. Credit card machine was down and it honestly discouraged me. I found some cash and I'm glad I did! read more

Tried this place because my favorite spot is twenty minutes away. I was STARVING and needed chicken like now! Soo I decided to roll the dice. I was smart about it and asked if they offered samples. Lady said yes and brought me a nice size sample. The chicken was not bad but I prefer my jerk chicken with more flavor/spice and grilled more thoroughly. Skin seemed a little soft (similar to baked chicken) instead of crisp and grilled. Their jerk sauce was pretty good. Some places make their sauce sweet which I don't like. Here their sauce is spicy. It wasn't good enough for me to order a whole dinner so I decided to just order a side of rice and peas. I wasn't a huge fan of their rice and peas. The gravy was a little too tangy for my liking. And I only found like 3 beans in a pool of rice and gravy! Overall food wasn't bad. I am giving three stars because I have had worse. But next time I want jerk chicken, I won't settle for this place. I'll take that drive to Jerk Choice!! read more

Maurice and his brother are the best. I ate there twice in two days, while visiting the area. Curried goat once and then jerk chicken. Great rice and beans. Jamaican ginger beer. The real deal. read more

Excellent Jamaican food, easily one of my top three in Chicagoland. I knew I was in for something good when the jerk aroma hit me in the parking lot from 20 feet away. When I first try a new Jamaican place, I always order the jerk chicken with rice and peas to kind of gauge the quality of the rest of the menu. Everything was fresh and delicious. The chicken was right off the grill, and the jerk rub had just the right amount of heat to it. The rice and peas were tasty and a perfect complement to the protein. The restaurant is pretty small, and there are a couple tables and some chairs, but they're pretty much just an afterthought. In my opinion, Jamaican Jerk Flavors is meant as a take out spot. The food came out pretty fast, but I wasn't really in any rush as it was pure velvet to my ears listening to the owners speaking to each other in Patois. I'm definitely stopping in again next time I'm in the south burbs and checking out the oxtail. read more

must say my first visit was a lil bad service but good food my last visit great service great food n my order was on point

I'm not Jamaican, but I love the food! I had a taste so I stopped at JJF after seeing it every time I'm on Lincoln Highway. Upon entering the takeout place, the worker greeted me with this rude remark, using vulgar language ( the f-bomb) What kind of customer service skills is that? And what sensible person with manners greets a customer like that? Of course, I'm going to look indecisive entering into a new take-out restaurant. I know I looked the worker's age, but come on! People just don't not come there for good, but for good service as well. If he was trying to flirt with me, he failed! The only reason I didn't walk out because I was very hungry! The only reason I'll go back is for the food, but I might consider going elsewhere. read more

HORRIBLE!!! I walked in, looked at the menu, and as I finished placing my order.....the lady says were out of chicken right now....WHAT!?! Jerk CHICKEN place out of CHICKEN??? AMAZING! read more

This place is horrible and overpriced. We went and hot jerk wings and they were so small and charred to a crisp. There was barely any meat on the bones . it was too late to call and complain . I would never recommend anyone eating here. I've had great jerk chicken and this can't even be considered on the same category for comparisons. Horrible ! read more

I've been here once or twice. The lady upfront barely spoke a word to me. The food is good but I prefer Carribean Delight which is closer to home and tastes more like the food I grew up on in a Jamacian household. read more
