I will never return to Jerk & Go in Merrillville on US 30. 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. read more

They charged $12 for (4) party jerk wings-real little. I thought they would have at least been the regular size. I had the oxtails, they were ok, could have been more tender and the rice was a lil mushy. My mom had the curry chicken, she said it was good. I'll try it once more for another go round. read more

Food be fye!!! The jerk chicken is the star, with a perfect balance of sweet, smoky, and spicy notes that are both bold and delicious. read more

Jerk N Go - Caribbean Near Me - Merrillville, Indiana

After sitting & waiting on my food for an hour they gave me the wrong food then took it back after I ate out of it... What make it bad is I told all of them plus the manager I ate out of that food... The one girl who took it said so what she didn't care so i just though she was going to trash it... The customer sitting next to me made eye contact after we saw her place it on the counter with two other plates that just came out the kitchen. I then went to the manger (Taylor) and said hey i ate out of that plate. so five minutes later i saw her take that food to a customer table that was waiting on there food. I then told them too cash me out and i went to that customer and told them i ate out of the plate they just received... That nite i make a Facebook post to try to get in touch with the owner. His daughter which is the manager i told that i ate out of the plate got on my post say that i was lying nd they showed the customer the food i ate out of.. Note: Im going to post the pictures of what was said on Facebook please. Also people is getting food poisoning from eating there... READ BELOW read more

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

I was very disappointed. Callaloo use to be good onions,peppers flavor. I visited today Callaloo salty not edible,the worst. Took it back, same. I'm not sure what they added to. It use to be mild lovy. The salt monster took over. fix it read more

The food- So good, and it will keep me coming back. Jamaican food is relatively new to me but the comfort it brings makes me feel nostalgic for something I've never had. I'm notorious for not cleaning the bones but I couldn't stop myself this time. The name and the venue- Y'all are actually hilarious and it's what drew me to try this place. The vibe was moody and retro. It feels like a cool hole in the wall type place. Thanks :) read more

Food decent. Hit or miss since they stingy with their scoops when you purchase sides. They never pack them weak trays. Everyime you go in to order there's always a f'ing DJ playing extremely loud music that its hard for both you and the person taking your order to hear each other. Just stop it with the DJ. People don't like that. Stop trying make it ghetto and you'll get a ton more business. read more

The food is made fresh so it will take awhile. We were there when hardly no one was as we still waited a good 30-45 mins. But worth it. I recommend the pasta and chicken. The music was on point and I heard they have live DJ's on certain days. Definitely a vibe though. read more

This place needs to be owned by Keyshauna. She's a damn beast. She came in to get her check and ended up stating to help. It took them an hour and a half to make my order. They said they were short staffed but the owners were sitting there eating and watching their staff struggle. The food is great! My god the food was amazing but I ate it with an attitude because it took an hour and 15 mins. read more

I recently visited Jerk and Go in Merrillville, Indiana, and was disappointed to observe that the staff were working in suboptimal conditions. Notably, the heating system was malfunctioning, with portable heaters placed throughout the establishment, leaving employees visibly uncomfortable. After ordering, I retreated to my vehicle. This incident marks the second time I've witnessed such conditions at this location, and I strongly believe that immediate attention is necessary to rectify this situation, as it's unfair to subject workers to such an environment. The better business bureau need to be notified. Might I add the workers where very pleasant and professional read more

The Place is really a nice size and Great for Parties. I've been craving some Loaded Jerk Chicken Fries for at least a month or two and today was the day. I called my order in and was told by the young lady who took the order that they will No Longer take phone in orders. I ordered the Loaded Fries and they were So Delicious; just as I remembered from 2 years ago. Robin was the Manager of staff and she is a Gem. All the staff that I encountered were very Friendly and they all provided Good customer service. They are Closed on Mondays. read more

Save your money and give it to a business that actually CARES because THIS ONE DON'T!!!!! I am disgusted to say the least!!! I had a dietary restriction to beans! When I placed the order I put no beans. They put it anyway. I called back up there to tell them that I was not able to have dinner because of the. The girl that answered the phone told a worker named Will what happened. I heard the worker named Will tell the girl that he wasn't replacing my order and to tell me to scrape it off. He changed his tone when I asked to speak to him. How DARE you talk like that When you all were the ones that screwed up! You will NEVER get another dollar from me!!!!!!! Yall look through some of their reviews, these people ain't lying!!! Do BETTER Jerk N Go!!!! read more

Food was OUTSTANDING! I got the half white dinner with 6 wings Mac n yams Hubby got the catfish filets with cabbage and string beans and we both had a drink. DJ was live and playing a good mix of music overall we give it 5 Stars best food we have found here in Indiana thus far! We will be back. read more

This place has the most outrageous prices that you can find in the area for food that is very cheap to make and isn't as much as other restaurants. If Chinese places can give you more food for less than this place can too. They deserve to go out of business. read more

First time trying, got the chicken stew plate I would say it was basic, not really tasty. Almost like canned. And bone in meat. If you're from the south and have tried other Jamaican and Caribbean places. I would say it's not close. But if you've never tried, it will be ok. read more

Jerk N Go - Caribbean Near Me - Merrillville, Indiana

It took them an hour to make 2 salads; the wait on food is just unacceptable. The music is nice though.

I am intentional about supporting black owned businesses. Unfortunately, it's becoming more and more difficult to keep dumping money at Jerk N Go. Each visit since opening, have had a wait time of well over an hour. They have positions posted seeking to hire just about everything position available. So, I can support the wait time. But, my last visit is really making me rethink spending my money here until they re-evaluate their execution of how they do business. In general, the food is pretty good, but my last order of $32 was an epic fail after waiting 1 hr & 20 minutes. My whole white chicken was cooked to perfection, but missing the skin. My large rice and peas was cold as if it had been sitting for hours. When I pay $8 for rice and peas and wait over an hour, I don't expect to warm them in the microwave after getting home. The small Mac and cheese looked delicious, but I couldn't eat it because there was a strong odor coming from the container. It almost smelled spoiled. And on top of that, my hot sauce or bread were not in the bag. That's what I get for not checking. In the end, I'll give it another try in the next 6 months or so, giving them an opportunity to pull things together. read more

Great food! Went here with my bro after our music show in Chicago. The bartender was super cool and friendly. They also play dope R&B music.

The food is always great and so is the service! We have even used their catering for several family events and it always exceeds expectations. read more

Foods great, a little expensive, but what isn't these days. Service was great too. Will definitely eat here again.

Even though I wanted just jerk wings! My girl at the front desk (very professional, and lovely lol) I think she might be the owner! She definitely sold me on the fried jerk wings, when I say great , good, fresh, and super filling. I don't ever want the regular jerk wings anymore. Thanks for being able to make a busy night into a happy night. I enjoyed Alan's my husband enjoyed. Sorry I didn't include pics...... But I come every weekend here, and I don't live in this area but when I come on the weekends here I need this place and they never disappoint! Thanks guys for the great experiences read more

The food is great. We had the catfish and ox tail. The rice was stunning. The cabbage lacked flavor, along with the green beans (like the big Costco can was just opened and pour out). The bartender/server was perfect, she had to duck her head to avoid the row of TVs. Not sure if it's a bar that has food, or a restaurant that has a bar. The music was so loud that we all had to shout. A bit pricey, especially for a place that uses styrofoam and plastic forks. read more

Girl at the register was so sweet and lots of help. Chicken was delicious. Rice and gravy was delicious. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

The food used to be really good now it is awful. They need to find a new cook who doesn't burn the jerk chicken.

Waited 2 whole hours for my take out order! Not exaggerating! Placed my order at 5:37pm and walked out with my food and got in my truck at 7:37pm! The customer service is TRASH!! I walked in and there was 4 young women dressed like they were serving drinks at a strip club!! Absolutely disgusting! They all had their breast out all around the food. One girl was coughing all around the register where they bag the food at!! It took them about a good 5 minutes before either of them acknowledged I was standing at the counter!!! The food was ok but it DEFINITELY was not worth the wait or the trashy environment!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you find another jerk spot to eat it cause THIS is NOT IT! read more

Since moving from a big city out West with a good culinary scene, this was the best food I've had in the past year.

Ordered Curry goat and received Goat with brown gravy. Received an attitude at the front counter. Will not return.

Good food, but expensive! The prices are expensive. Staff has been nice lately. I like the Homewood location better than Olympia fields. I really don't mind paying the price for good food, but the prices are ridiculous. It's a treat to go here every once in awhile and I love their wings. read more

Ok so can we talk about how bomb this place is! Super flavorful and delicious. My 6 year old now loves cabbage(please don't ever close and thank you). The workers were very nice and hospitable.
