For the Fourth of July, my family and I went to Stephen's Lake Park to watch the fireworks and decided to check out the food trucks! My aunt and I saw Jamaican Jerk Hut and immediately got in line for Curry Chicken and Pork Steaks. The Curry Chicken had Curry imported from Jamaica, and has veggies like carrots and potatoes in it. The Pork Steaks were cut up into strips and served almost like ribs... slathered in a Jamaican Jerk Sauce. Both plates came with red bean coconut rice and potato salad. My Pork Steaks were delicious, tender, and flavorful. Not too much fat and had a kick from the jerk sauce. I loved the rice and potato salad too. My only critique is the jerk sauce needed more salt. My aunt enjoyed her curry chicken, although she was disappointed that the vegetables that were in the curry were either from a can or a frozen mix. You know the one with potatoes, carrots lima beans etc. I didn't mind it, however, and therefore, I took her leftovers that she didn't eat. For being a food truck, the service was super fast as well. I think they had everything pretty much made and ready to order, which made the line move fast. I really enjoyed everything and saw that their restaurant location might have oxtail and plantains, which I definitely want to try. I can see a re-visit in my future. read more

Customer service is piss poor. The food is even worst. I wouldn't eat here if it was the last thing on earth.

The food is not authentic. I called in to order the person taking my order had an attitude. Don't eat here !

Great jerk chicken and pork steak, delicious "Rasta lemonade," friendly folks, and if you're ordering out, cardboard containers (yes, that excites me)! Other offerings are curry chicken (haven't tried it--I'm addicted to their jerk dishes--but my wife loves it), meat pies, callaloo, cabbage and carrots, and rice with jerk gravy. Tip: one entree can easily be split between two people, or, like we do, you can be assured substantial leftovers! Also, I am a huge reggae fan and great tunes are always playing in there. Highly recommended! read more

Good food and very large portions! More food than ne person could eat...so leftovers are likely! Highly recommend!

The food here at Jamaican jerk hut off Rangeline was absolutely delicious I ate all of it in one sitting and I'll most likely go back sometime next week. The roster lemonade is to die for. The staff that were working that day were very friendly very welcoming and it was a comfortable and fun environment to be in. read more

Went to order from the food truck. The lady in front was rude and uninterested in taking our order. The food quality was low. The food did not tastes like any Jamaican food I had before.. No flavor or spice. Very bland food. Everything on the menu was overpriced for the quality of the food. Will not come back. read more

Had the Jamaican beef patty from their truck at the Art in the Park event at Stephens park. It was roughly the size and appearance of one of those "fried" pies you get from a vending machine. Thick, very dry crust and dry, slightly spicy, beef filling. The scant filling was overwhelmed by the crust. It wasn't terrible, but for $5, I'd really expect something better. read more

Enjoyed some of the best Jerk Chicken, beans and rice, sweet plantains, and potato salad I've ever tasted. The spice was perfect! Friendly service and a spotless restaurant. Thank you! read more

Delicious chicken and rice, fast service, large portion. One meal is enough to feed two adults. the sides are just ok flavor wise, but they really have the jerk chicken down. read more

awesome portions, food, and lemonade. servers will also chill af. the vibes of v park held mystery and ambiguity in the air, but the vibes of the hut overcame them throughout. top 3 restaurant in columbia mo and it's not 3. an essential visit read more

Good food. Nice portions and very nice staff. Can't wait to go back! The wings are huge!

I like the fact that it's a family owned business, but I find them to be over priced and not worth it. It's five dollars for a dried up meat pie, which is normally one dollar, ever where else. I had to Curry chicken, which caused me to be filled with even more disappointment. My return to this place is not likely. I've never been to Jamaica. Most of the Jamaican food I ate was in Atlanta. But I could make better at home Jamaican food, the stuff here to me. Is like eating freezer burnt food. read more

I have always wondered how they make grilled jerk chicken with no actual grill marks on the chicken. I went back after a long time to get dinner for my wife and it was another disappointment; beef patty overpriced too. read more

Had these folks at the Root and Blues festival... now we are regulars. At least 2 times per week. I love the little sandwches, and after 6 or so plates of the Jerk Wi gs... have not had a bad plate ONCE! Got to try this for a little Jamaican flavir... read more

Very good! I highly recommend their pork steak. Very tender and their sides are great! Favorite place to eat by far in Columbia.

This place amazing. We were passing by from Colorado. Great change from all the boring places out there. We had jerk chicken. Plenty of food. Lemonade was like no other that I've tasted. I went back and bought some of their homemade sauce. Definitely a place I will stop back on my way through. read more

By far the best food truck in columbia! The Jerk sauce is spicy and flavorful. They Grill the chicken and pork steak with jerk seasonings for several hours before the food truck opens up. The Rasta lemonade is a tropical explosion in your mouth; which is a great combonation with the spicy, smokey flavors of the meat. Great food, great guys, awesome experience. They update their locations and dates on their facebook pretty often. https://www.facebook.com/JamJerkHut?rf=121523934527642 read more

I have no clue what their hours are, but the Jamaican Jerk Hut is housed inside MoJo's in Columbia. You can also find the Hut in the form of a truck/stand at outdoor events (like Summerfest concerts). I have also had the fortune of enjoying their food at a catered event -- point being, they cater and its good! They aren't easy to track down, but wherever you find the Jamaican Jerk Hut guys/gals making food, give it a try. You won't be disappointed. read more

I live in New York City and haven't been back to Columbia in 3 years. I came in and they not only remembered me, but remembered that I'm vegetarian! You can't get that kind of service at a chain restaurant. Also, their Rasta Lemonade is literally the best lemonade I've ever had in my life. Next time you drive by or see their food truck, you MUST stop in. Support local businesses! read more

I ordered the jerk chicken and it was great. The chicken had great flavor and was covered in a yummy flavorful sauce. My only real gripe would be the kind of chicken they used. It was a lot of skin and not a lot of meat. The portion was big enough to have me and my girlfriend satisfied while we were out at art in the park. For 10 dollars we thought it was worth it. read more

Great food and the portion sizes are perfect for both the sides and the main dish. The owners/workers are always friendly and sometimes hilarious whether I come to the truck or to the new location. The only con is that the food is pricey compared to other jerk chicken spots in cities like Chicago and St. Louis, but this is understandable since this is the only jerk chicken spot in Columbia. read more

Authentic Jamaican food, I really enjoyed eating here. The price is ok. Overall grade A+. I highly recommend this place.

Fabulous Caribbean cuisine! I have not eaten Caribbean food that delicious since living in Chicago metro area & I was fortunate to have neighbors born & raised in Belize & knowledgeable in excellent Caribbean cuisine! read more
