    SLAM HORRIBLE!!!! I came home to GI for a visit and my folks wanted to try something new. I had the taste for Jamaican so we tried this spot. The establishment is a small bldg on Grant Street that needs major overhaul. It needs a good clean up. We thought the place was burning down as there was smoke filling the waiting area while we placed our order. The attendant wasn't friendly and the food was awful. The jerk chicken tasted burned and so did the greens. Mac and cheese was soupy and bland. This is by far some of the worst Caribbean food I've ever had. My dad said the ox tails were decent but he said the place looks unsanitary so he won't be eating there again. Save your money and go somewhere that serves better selections.

    By far the worst"jerk" I ever had..Placed an order over the phone, got there & my food still was not ready. No one acknowledged me, no one came to the window. A man came in from outside & said I took your order. I said you"took my order" confused because I had no idea who the man was & I'm assuming I was the last customer to place an order by his statement..whole time there was women just sitting there I even said HELLOO she never acknowledged me & that's when the guy came and in..However the food was absolutely disgusting. The chicken was ok but definitely not authentic jerk. The cabbage was too damn salty omg & the rice was just down right horrific. I can definitely tell we got the bottom of the pot rice. So mushy & just overall nasty. These people need to taste the food that they're selling, cause WTF..$34 for some nasty food is crazy. Overly priced trash food is diabolical

    6 Wing Jerk Chicken Dinner

    Greens were so salty, the salt was crunchy with every bite...like it was out the can and added more salt. Please get your grandma to help yall cook them greens...The wings were very spicy BUT not meaty and very small just enough meat to cover the bones. I would love the food if the establishment put more effort into the quality of the food as you do the salt and spice. I would love to support more even though it's a little pricey for the quality of food....Mac and cheese was good.

    Not too bad for Jerk Chicken in Gary, In. I don't really care for the jerk sauce; taste like watered down Crystal Hot Sauce ‍. That cabbage though . Macaroni wasn't too fresh in my opinion but it was edible. I'll return to try different items on the menu, especially the sides.

    Great Jamaican jerked chicken that you can smell cooking a mile away. All the locals swear by it and they aren't lying! I always get the dark meat. So moist and so good!

    2part review. Service was good but waited over an hour for part my order (oxtails) got home and started eating only to realize that most of my wings were really raw. Good flavor for what little pieces I could taste. Wasted $13 though

    Drive past this establishment quite often so I decided to give them a try. I might say not too bad. I was expecting authentic jerk tacos but for what it's worth they still tasted delicious.

    This place will make you over eat- it so good. I have no idea how they are able to have the time to make the food taste so good. I came for lunch and I will be back for dinner. I am here in town for business and this will be my food spot while here!!!

    A halal Jamaican spot close to work?? This is gonna be dangerous! I haven't had oxtails in a few years since I started eaten halal and they hit the spot! Sides (mac n cheese and collard greens) were on point too. I'll prob be here for lunch at least once a week

    The chicken was juicy and cooked to perfection. The sides were 7/10. It was overall a 8. It's hard…read morefinding good Jerk Chicken in Indiana especially when I lived in the city of Chicago your whole life. Would I go back. YES

    I will never return to Jerk & Go in Merrillville on US 30…read more My party of two waited almost two hours before our food was finally served. When it arrived, every single dish was cold. The manager had to take the food to the back and microwave it before bringing it back to us. We ordered two oxtail dinners ($35 each), jerk lamb chops ($36), chicken Alfredo pasta ($28.50), jerk chicken wings ($12.50), a Calypso drink ($3), and a Corona ($5). Our bill came to $190.63, and we were surprised to see a group gratuity added for only two people. The food was a huge disappointment. The oxtails and rice were cold, the macaroni was completely tasteless, the lamb chops were extremely dry, and the jerk chicken wings tasted old. After waiting nearly two hours, this was unacceptable. When we told the manager about the wings, he insisted on remaking them. When we asked about a refund because of the quality of the food, he told us they do not issue refunds. Instead of showing concern about our experience, he also made jokes about how much food I ordered. I felt judged and uncomfortable, which made an already disappointing experience even worse. Between the nearly two-hour wait, cold food that had to be microwaved, poor food quality, the unexpected group gratuity for just two people, and the way our concerns were handled, this was one of the worst restaurant experiences I've had. After spending almost $200, I expected much better food and customer service. I will not be returning and cannot recommend this restaurant. I just don't understand after having to wait two hours. How are you gonna give me cold food then go microwave it how I know I still had a bite out of the lamb chop.
