    The $10.99 lunches special are hard to beat, I got the chicken with rice and Mac and cheese, everything was really good. It was fresh and everything was full of flavor.

    Time for a consistency review. Still very much a 10 out of 10. Service is always efficient and speedy. The ambiance is A+ local Jamaica yawd vibes (iykyk). One Love authentic. The food is outstanding in every possible way. Great quality and phenomenal flavor. The jerk chicken, curry chicken, stew chicken, curry goat, oxtail (no "s" if yuh Jamaican) are all A+. And you must start with a delicious spicy beef patty. This is just one of those restaurants where you can feel the love in the way the food is prepared. True Jamaican quality and standards with very reasonable portions for the prices. I can't say enough good things about this wonderful gem of a restaurant. Best J'can food in the area for sure. Love this place and REALLY love the food.

    Came here on a Tuesday and they were out of the veggie patties, so I got a veggie plate with cabbage, Mac and cheese, and rice and peas. I noticed that the place was super clean and the young lady taking orders was a sweetheart. First taste of the cabbage sent my tastebuds into a dance party. The Mac and cheese had nice flavoring, but the rice and peas were simply ok. The music was everything! I was singing, vibing, and eating. Definitely will return!

    The food was fantastic here. I had the jerk chicken with rice and peas. I had the cabbage medley and mac and cheese. The jerk chicken was so tender and juicy. The mac and cheese and cabbage medley were also delicious. The lady that came out the back was so nice and gracious. The young lady who took my order didn't provide outstanding customer service. She gave basic straight to the point service. I love the vibrant look of the restaurant.

    I have had this place a few times since I found out that it was open but today I decided to actually write a review. This is some of the best Jamaican food I have ever tasted in my life. I have physically never been in the building so I do not know how the ambience is, but I can most definitely speak on the food. I have tried the jerk pork, the jerk ribs, the jerk wings, and the oxtails I believe that everything that they offer is good just from having would I have had every time I order takeout, the service is just amazing in reference to my food being cooked well and the plates are always packed. Everything is so good if I only had one critique I would say please put more jerk sauce on the side lol because it is truly so good but outside of that I definitely recommend this place. You will most definitely get your moneys worth..

    Hands down one of the best, if not the "BEST" restaurants serving authentic and delicious Jamaican dishes. All of our food was hot, juicy, and very flavorful! I swear on everything that I will not be eating at any other establishment. The staff is friendly and provided awesome customer service to all patrons. No matter what you order your plate will be loaded! We had the Jerk Chicken with sides of cabbage and Mac&cheese (elbow noodles and not that spaghetti noodles mess with cheese sauce so many others be doing). Added a meat pie and cocoa bread! I also had the Oxtails plate with cabbage and plantains, as seen in my picture but I also got a Curry Goat plate to go. I guarantee that you will not be disappointed. I will go back and take anybody visiting me to Jamaican Homestyle Grill only! Salute to the Owners and their amazing food.

    Kenner has needed a Jamaican place and this is it! Service: was excellent. True Caribbean hospitality. Food: It's taken all my effort to write this because I need a nap. It's that good an filling. It's like you went to an auntie house and she was gonna make sure you didn't go hungry. Brown stew fish, curry goat, jerk ribs. Barbie wings, goat Rasta pasta....all of the food was just fantastic. Each plate was enough for two people. We have leftovers for tomorrow. This place is right past the airport over the bridge on the right coming from Williams blvd. Kenner has another hidden gem. On Airline. Note: all food is cooked to order. That fish was so tender the bones just pulled out like butter.

    Stew Chicken

    Ten weeks ago, I left this company a good review because I really enjoyed their food so much that I decided to order again. However, after my second order, I left another review because the food was not good. It wasn't the same as the first time. The chicken was dry, suggesting it was baked, and it seemed like they ran out of gravy, so they gave me jerk chicken instead of the stew chicken I had ordered, with a side of jerk sauce. When I left the review, instead of the owner accepting the constructive criticism for what it was, she insisted that my review was fabricated and accused me of trying to tear her business down. I have no intention of ruining anyone's business; I am simply being completely honest about my experience. I recently ordered from them again, and the food was not good. It seemed like it had been sitting out for a long time, and there was no flavor at all in the meal. I also mentioned that there are other Jamaican restaurants in the city that make their food look and taste bad in comparison because it lacks flavor, and that's my honest opinion. Jamaican Jerk House makes your food look and taste like trash. You call yourself a Jamaican restaurant, but just like other Jamaican restaurants in NOLA, your food had no flavor. It's truly sad what I received the last few times I ordered from you all. Instead of taking these reviews as an attempt to belittle your restaurant, consider them as constructive criticism and do better, because I promise I am not the only one who feels this way.

    My favorite from here  chicken,mac, cabbage medley 10/10!!!!

    My favorite Jamaican restaurant! I always get the same thing jerk,mac, and a side. Consistent flavor, highly recommend!

    Bonfire was not the first choice for dinner last night. We were headed to another restaurant but…read morethat place had an hour and a half wait. We were hungry so we decided on Bonfire. When we arrived at Bonfire me and my date were the only ones there. I have no idea how long it had been open but it looked brand new. The atmosphere was very pleasant. I loved the lighting fixtures and the design of the seating area. There was also a dj that added to the atmosphere. Bonfire being a Jamaican restaurant I thought it apt to order the Jerk Chicken. You get 2 sides with the entree. I ordered the mac and cheese and french fries. My date got the catfish along with the potato salad and french fries. I was eager to dig in when the food came back. First off the fries were very crisp and fried to perfection. The mac and cheese was delicious. It was some of the best I've had at a restaurant in a long time. The jerk chicken was absolutely amazing. It came with the jerk sauce on the side. Honestly, I really didn't need it. The chicken had a delicious smoked flavor. It tasted like chicken you'd eat at a summer bbq. I can not say enough about the jerk chicken. I tasted the catfish my date ordered and it was really good too. I really would love to come back here and try more things.

    The food here is very good and you'll get flavors that you just won't find elsewhere, but the price…read moreis ridiculous. They charge $4 for drinks like tea, and I had to ask for a refill despite it being obviously empty. I had jerk chicken ($16.75) and it was very flavorful and tender, but they hack up a leg and thigh with a cleaver so you have to pick through a lot of bone and there wasn't all that much meat. For the sides I had potato salad which looked like it came from a plastic tub at the grocery store, but the plantains were very good. Total of everything plus a drink and tip was over $26 - for lunch! Overall, I don't think it's worth the price. The inside was very nice and clean but the place was pretty empty at noon on a weekday.
