Oxtails were really good here, it's not a sit down and eat spot more of a grab and go.

Spot is definitely happening. Walking in is a sophisticated funk of retro chic. The cocktails are all carefully crafted with cool names or stick to your favorite spirits and keep it simple with a rum and coke, or Hennessey on the rocks etc. it's all here. The head bop is real as every tune spilled was a classic and made our crew dance all night. Hungry? Well check the menu kicking Jamaican flavors like a pattie or jerk wings just to name a couple. Kitchen is open till 1am, get your grub on. Dance floor is where your standing and everyone is grown and on such a friendly vine everyone there is your new dance partner. Now the biggest OMG moment was the epic Talib Kwali deejaying! WHAT!!! Yes, he was there. He's still on the all love v8bes and is still real hip hop. This place is ALL that and then some! Don't believe me...go check it out yourself and see the line continue gathering. One Love! read more

I recently moved to Downtown Miami a few months ago and decided to try this place out for takeout after a long day of exploring the city. I ordered a jerk chicken bowl and jerk Mac and cheese. Both were stellar! Huge portion that I devoured. That bowl has some serious flavor. Can't wait to go back again soon. read more

My high school students and I were visiting Miami on school trip all the way from California. I wanted to make sure that the students experienced authentic Jamaican cuisine on this trip because a major part of our agenda was to explore Caribbean culture in Miami. I chose People's Choice because of all the amazing reviews and when we got there, our experience verified that all the previous reviews were well deserved. We were a group of 12 student and 2 adults that arrived without a reservation. The staff were friendly and warm, the service was fast, the menu had many great options, and the food was AMAZING. The owner, was intentional about checking in with us and took time to learn about our trip. We even made a fun instagram video together. If you're ever visiting Miami, People's Choice is definitely worth adding to your itinerary. read more

This spot is amazing! The food is on point!! Service is great too! Highly recommend for some authentic Jamaican!

The first bite alone is everything. I Hadn't really found spots I LOVED in Miami - tried this & this one is it! The price is fair & the amount of food is love. The flavor of every bite has me doing the happy dance. I love this place! Now every time I'm in Miami - this is what I ask for. The servers are so happy and helpful ! They could be JRKs and I'd still come back read more

We've heard a lot of great things about this place so my fiancé and I got take out. They mainly do takeout/delivery, but there a few seats at bar to eat. My fiancé ordered their jasmine and cilantro rice base with BBQ chicken and jerked corn with BBQ sauce on the side. I was told they usually have brown stew chicken but did not today so I ordered their "seasonal" protein which was brown stew pepper steak, with rice and peas, stewed veggies, pineapple mango salsa and rude boy scotch bonnet sauce on the side. I loved that the sweetness of the salsa complimented the savory stewed steak We ordered the Mac and Cheese as a side which was hearty and had a little kick to it. Also got a beef patty for tomorrow morning. For the price point, it's worth every dollar! The service was quick and the food was quite good for being a mainly takeout spot. read more

Holy. Fucking. Shit. I found Jrk! through the app TooGoodToGo that works at eliminating food waste by having restaurants who choose to participate give their end of day food at a discounted rate. It's always a surprise because no restaurant can predict what they'll have left over end of day. I definitely did not expect to get the jerk chicken on a bed of rice with sweet corn and pineapples. The chicken was buttery soft, SO easy to chew. The spice was PERFECT. I inhaled the food. I didn't take a proper picture because I was so excited. 1000/10. Will be returning THIS WEEK. read more

Jrk! - Any empty plate. The food was that good, yes, that good! - Caribbean Near Me - Miami, Florida

I've been wanting to go to the location in aventura and was very happy they opened in downtown miami. Parking on the street is limited but there are a bunch of lots nearby. If you live in the brickell/downtown area you could easily take metro mover to government center and walk. We got the jerk chicken, curry chicken and jerk Mac n cheese. All of the food was delicious and you get a good sized portion. Everything was seasoned perfectly and tasted fresh. I tried the rude boy sauce which was amazing. I like spicy food myself and didn't think it was too spicy. The rice n peas were tasty compared to other Jamaican places we have been too. Really liked the plaintains because of the pineapple taste they have compared to most other Latin restaurants. Lastly, the jerk max n cheese. It was cheesy and had that jerk chicken tase. Overall, all of the food was very good and was priced reasonably. If you want juices or coffee you can also get to too. The interior space was nicely done and they have a large dining area for you to sit at. When you first walk in it's very similar looking to a chipotle where you pick your rice, then protein and then remaining sides and pay at the end. The owner and all of the staff were very friendly when we first walked which is typical of a Jamaican restaurant. Overall, this is a great spot when you're looking for good Jamaican food. I will be coming back here again read more

Hopefully this was just a bad day. This was my first impression and I'm so underwhelmed with my uber eats delivery order. Some of the rice was so hard, definitely undercooked. I couldn't enjoy that as much as I wanted to but I did like the flavor. The patties filling is on the mushy side, not what I'm used to when it comes to freshly made but I would buy it again if they were just set out. The star of the show was definitely the jerk chicken and plantains, both delicious and full of flavor. Next time I'll try this in person. read more

We ate on the 'speakeasy' side Mangrove. The food was immaculate! As a Jamaican I consider myself a tough Caribbean food critic and I would go again and recommend it a friend. The drinks were delicious but balanced in flavor. The food was not too spicy, and festival was a little softer than im accustomed to but i still enjoyed it, the curry oxtail was my personal stand out dish. The service was good, they checked on us the right amount. The aesthetic was a nice dimly lit lounge feel. Nice for a romantic evening. read more

Our party of 10 arrived shortly before the 11am opening to celebrate our coworker's County service award. Samantha was kind enough to allow us inside to escape the heat. And then, when we went to order, we found out County employees receive a ten percent discount! The food was excellent for everyone but I'm certain the service we received beforehand enhanced the flavor even further! read more

I was wanting to try Jrk! for a while but live a bit far. So worth the trip, I had the vegan jerk which is super rare in a Jamaican restaurant. Normally, you would just get vegetables and that's it. Wow. I went with a friend that was as impressed as I was. Loved the rice and peas. They have a nice selection and the portion sizes can range from enough to large. I wish they had home made iced tea but that wasn't an option. So basically a bowl place that you can modify according to your taste. Not too spicy but very flavourful, I really would recommend that you stop by. Service was speedy and super efficient. They have a small dining room toward the back that is also another restaurant after 4pm. Parking is street only and can be an issue during high traffic times. Really happy.... read more

Used to love it but just got the worst food poisoning from them. Eat here if you want to throw up all night...!

The jerk fried rice with Jerk chicken and vegetables is delicious . The food is hot and perfect portion. The best jerk chicken ever

This place is phenomenal! The best lunch I have had in a really long time! The spices on the jerk chicken blew my mind. It was pure heaven. The plantains were perfect in every way.... Slightly caramelized on the outside, a bit sweet, with warm spices to complement. The environment was also exceptional. The well trained staff and the beautiful decor made me feel so welcome. It was a pleasure to dine here. I hope you will go check them out very soon! read more

I went back to Jrk on April 17th for lunch. This time the line was nearly out the door. The lady preparing the food moved quickly;however, the cashier was a bit slow. The dining area still looks nice and people were dining in but I had my food to go. The oxtails were really good and I love that they give plenty of food especially for the price. read more

I went to Jrk today solely because I had a craving for Jamaican patties. I love them, but don't eat them very often. I got a beef patty and a jerk chicken patty. They were delicious! The crust was perfect, airy and flaky. These can get a little messy to eat, but boy are they yummy! My favorite one was the jerk chicken. I will def be back to get more of these and try their bowls as well. Also they are pretty big in size and they are priced well! read more

Had a chance to visit while I was home for Thanksgiving break. I was able to try the curry, chicken, rice, cabbage, corn, & pineapple banjo salsa. I was very pleased with my meal and the portion sizes. read more

We had a really good experience here. It's a little confusing because they're also using the Mangrove brand but Jrk is on the side of the building. It's an intimate space that seats ~30 people. The menu is slim but that's not a bad thing. We had patties, both chicken and beef, and they tasted really good. Also, jerk wings, jerk mac & cheese, rice and peas and festival. Everything tasted good. The Mac & cheese had jerk chicken inside and was a healthy portion. The wings were baked and had great flavor. The festival was hot and fresh. Definitely looking forward to returning. I also used the inKind app for a discount. Parking is a hassle downtown, however there is a public garage two blocks away. read more

The restaurants is combined eating and bar at night. You can pick rice, vegetables and meat onto the plate and then you take your purchased meal to the bar section to dine in. The Jerk chicken is legit and it is chopped into tiny pieces. This is great for those who dont like to get their hands dirty. I also had the Chicken curry with curry sauce poured over rice and beans. This was also delicious. I would come again for sure as the price was reasonable too. I almost forgot to mention the beef patty. This was better than most places as the curst was perfect and the filling was not too runny and not too dry. We had seconds. read more

I visited the downtown location today when I found out one opened down here by my job. The place was packed but they move very fast. I ordered the jerk chicken bowl with rice and peas, crunchy cabbage, mango pineapple salsa and plaintains. My coworker ordered oxtail bowl with rice and peas same toppings that I had. The jerk chicken bowl was just ok the jerk chicken was flavorful, but i couldn't get pass the chicken diced into pieces (small pieces) with no bones so the fat that's in the chicken thighs already was not cooked thoroughly for me, so i had to constantly pull the soft fat off the chicken, the rice and peas had no flavor, but the other toppings were good. My coworker said the oxtails were decent. I will return to try the oxtails. The food kind of gives a cafeteria vibe. read more

Had food at Mangrove right next door and it was excellent. Picked up food from here and it is much cheaper. If you want to sit for drinks and dinner Mangrove would be it. Just note it's obviously a lot pricier. But this place is excellent and the portions are good. read more

Food and ambiance are amazing ! Love the concept for Caribbean food . The jerk chicken was delicious and the rice and peas was tasty

Ordered through Uber eats for dinner and I got the jerk chicken bowl with plantains, jerk fried rice, and corn with the rude boy sauce & a side of the tropics sauce. The portion was great, plenty of chicken, very flavorful, and the perfect amount of spice! The fried rice didn't really seem fried to me, but maybe because I'm from Chicago. The tropics sauce also wasn't very good in my opinion and didn't have any spice like their website said. Overall, I'd definitely go again for dine-in next time I'm in Miami! read more

Today was my 2nd visit at Jrk and man was it great I had to leave a honest review. I got a curry chicken and my partner got the oxtail. We both loved our meals. Greg at behind the register was extremely kind and greeted me once I walked in. The portion I received was crazy, closing my lid was difficult. Just a 10/10 experience. Thanks to this team for amazing food, service and overall experience! read more

Food was very good and the ambiance in the dining area matched. The staff was friendly as well, I was very happy with it alll.

The food was soooooo good. I was actually impressed, the food was so good. Everything tasted great, they had a jerk lamb appetizer which was a special that was so good and the jerk chicken Mac and cheese is probably the first of its kind that I can actually say I liked. For entrees we had the salmon with champagne sauce which by the way, when the waiter said it was his favorite item on the menu, boy he did not lie. It was amazing and truly different than anything you will taste anywhere else; that sauce really takes it over the top. My husband ordered the curry oxtail and that was also good and a nice portion size. The drinks were good and I can't lie the price point was not crazy like another Wynwood Caribbean restaurant. We were impressed, the service was attentive and the vibes were everything. The whole dinner I was rocking in my chair. They had a DJ that came on about 10. But at that point we were stuffed and ready to go. I'm so happy we came here. There isn't any places with this kind of good Caribbean food and vibes at good prices south of Pembroke Pines. We will defiantly be back! read more
