I love small quaint places like this. The food is amazing. I got the curry chicken and it was awesome. The sides? Even better. The rice and peas were on point. The cabbage great. The beef patties amazing. The portions were very large. Definitely worth visiting. I will return and try more. read more

Service was fine and timely. This was my first visit, tried ordering jerk chicken but they were out so I ordered jerk ribs instead. My meal totaled about $25 which I thought was fair for a large dinner and a side of Mac and cheese. The portions were hearty which was a plus! The ribs were really good, mildly spicy with a smoked flavor! Came with four full bones. Sauce on the side was good as well, I'd definitely order again. 8.5/10 for ribs I was NOT a fan of the rice and peas, they were different than what I'm used to and seriously lacked flavor, not authentic at all. 5/10 because the texture was at least good. Cabbage was fine, nothing to write home about. It wasn't mushy or anything but slightly overcooked and also lacked flavor. 5/10 The Mac and cheese tasted better than it looked in my opinion lol I was expecting a solid, possibly baked mac and cheese but theirs is extremely soupy and heavily seasoned (garlic taste is strong). I received a great sized for $6.25 so no complaint there. I'd rate the Mac 7/10. I'd order again but I'd probably swap the rice for Mac instead which I believe is only a $2.50 Upcharge I will return to try the jerk chicken! Overall, I liked the food I just didn't LOVE it. I almost loved the ribs but I'd still return. read more

K&S Jamaican Food is absolutely amazing! I get the jerk ribs almost every weekend -- they're always flavorful, tender, and cooked perfectly. I recently tried the jerk brisket and it was just as incredible, packed with that authentic smoky spice. I also always buy the fish, and it never disappoints. Consistently great food and one of my favorite spots to eat! read more

K&S Jerk Shop - Jerk Brisket, white rice with oxtail gravy, cabbage and plantain. - Caribbean Near Me - Dacula, Georgia

Food is always on point. No long waiting time and authentic Jamaican menu. This spot brings the memory of my many visits to Jamaica.

Worst experience ever! I live in the area and wanted some authentic beef patties. What I got was some stuff that came out of a box and off an assembly line. The patties were flaky and falling apart. They were not hot they weren't even warm. Just some beef flavored pastries.Not beef patties because there wasn't any beef In there. I paid $3.00 each. I could have purchased a double cheese burger and got more beef. Service was quick but not friendly. I visited the mobile location in Bethlehem on Loganville hwy. I don't recommend it and I will not be back. They even had a tip jar? What are people tipping for? They don't have any outdoor seating to bring the food to you. So I am confused about the tip jar. Anyway, I'm not a fan! read more

This is the place to go and buy authentic Jamaican cuisine! We have been coming to this family own Restaurant for three years now. The food is made fresh to order. I ordered Curry Chicken which comes with rice and peas, cabbage and plantains. All food was cooked well and seasoned. They do not have white meat, but I enjoyed it anyways. The owner guides each employee with wisdom and leadership. The place inside is cozy and family friendly. read more

Food is bomb the jerk chicken and beef patties are on point. Ambiance is just ok really a pick up and take out spot.

I was excited to visit K&S Jerk Shop after a colleague raved about how they have the best jerk chicken hands down. I must say that the staff was friendly and the place seems to get a steady stream of orders. This isn't really a spot to dine in, although they do have two tables should you prefer to do so. I ordered the large jerk chicken meal. They do not have white meat as an option. The jerk chicken meal comes with plantain, rice and peas, and cabbage. The cabbage was way overcooked and mushy. The plaintain was perfect as was the rice and peas. The rice was exceptionally well seasoned and delicious. However, at the end of the day, the jerk chicken is what I came for and which the weight of my ranking goes towards. I'll start with the positive, the chicken was hot and fresh and the meat was ready to fall right off the bone! Unfortunately, this was not good jerk chicken. As another reviewer commented, it's grilled chicken with a jerk sauce on the side. As I've said in previous reviews, a true jerk chicken does not rely on all of its flavor to come from a sauce. I really wish that my chicken itself was well seasoned. It had plenty of char from the grill but that's it. read more

I got takeout from here. I got the large oxtails, macaroni and cheese, rice and peas, and plantain. It was a hugeeee portion and I tore that thang UP! It was so good! I'm not usually a fan of spicy food but this wasn't crazy spicy at all. It was a little oily but not too bad, especially when I mixed the rice with the oxtail gravy. Highly recommend if you're looking for good Jamaican food There's a big parking lot but there are a lot of cars going in and out of that plaza and the parking spaces are really small. I suggest parking further instead of trying to park right in front of K&S because it was kind of annoying trying to get in and out. read more

We ordered food to go, I would just double check the order because we almost walked out without all our food. It was decent for what we ordered, the jerk chicken just tasted like seasoned grilled chicken, the rice and peas were okay but dry (requested gravy but didn't come 9! there), the Mac n cheese was a little over seasoned and the ox tail sauce was too thick for my liking. The cabbage & plantains were pretty good. read more

Great food every single time. We love the ox tails, jerk ribs and the chicken curry patties. Our daughter prefers the wings. They also have really good red velvet cake. Not the best place for dining in, so we do take-out. The prices are also reasonable for the amount of food you get. read more

This is HIDDEN GEM in Dacula! SOOOO GOOD. I woke up craving Caribbean food, and I found K&S Jerk Shop on Yelp. This is a small Jamaican Shop located in the same shopping center as TradeWind Coffee Co. They offer Jerk Chicken, Pork, and WINGS! Curry Chicken, Shrimp and Goat, Oxtails, and more. They also have Jerk Ribs on Fridays and Saturdays only. I ordered the Jerk Pork with rice & beans, cabbage, and plantains for $8.95 and when I tell you it was SOOO much food... I had lunch and dinner with just one plate, and it was delicious! The inside of the shop is small, and although they have a couple of tables inside, it seems most orders are for takeout. All in all, best jerk pork I've ever had and I am definitely coming back! ESPAÑOL Esto es GEMA OCULTA en Dacula! Suuuper BUENO. Me desperté con ganas de comer comida caribeña y encontré K&S Jerk Shop en Yelp. Esta es una pequeña tienda jamaicana ubicada en el mismo centro comercial que TradeWind Coffee Co. Ofrecen pollo Jerk, cerdo y ALAS! Pollo, camarones y cabras al curry, rabos de buey y más. También tienen Jerk Ribs solo los viernes y sábados. Pedí el Jerk Pork con arroz y frijoles, repollo y plátanos por $ 8.95 y cuando les digo que era MUY mucha comida ... Almorcé y cené con un solo plato, ¡y estaba delicioso! El interior de la tienda es pequeño, y aunque tienen un par de mesas adentro, parece que la mayoría de los pedidos son para llevar. En general, ¡el mejor cerdo jerk que he probado y definitivamente regresaré! read more

This place was recommended by another Yelp member. I usually go all the way to Stone Mountain for jerk. Just know I will be saving time and gas from here on out. The jerk ribs, pork and chicken are moist, delicious from K&S Jerk Shop. I purchased a few plates for the family along with the jerk ribs. The sauces they include are also delicious with hot being my favorite, though you dont need any sauce. The meat is good alone, all I was missing was soft coco bread. Inside was very organized and clean with a few seating options. The restaurant has reggae music playing while you wait. I didn't try any of the desserts but I did see red velvet cake and some pies on the counter. This 1st visit was only a test run a successful one at that. I will definitely be back to try more, cause out of all things, I forgot to try my favorite which is beef patties. read more

Unsatisfied with the food here, the service was not bad. I ate at this place two days in a row just to see if 1 day it was off. I ordered the brown stewed chicken and the ox tails. Both had a disappointing sauce that was too much on the salty side. Both beef patties I got look like the photo. The crust to beef ratio was off big time on both days. I won't give it less than two stars because the rice and Mac & cheese was fine. read more

K&S Jerk Shop - Beef patty - Caribbean Near Me - Dacula, Georgia

Not very good, too salty and some food are stale. Service is subpar and the ambience has little to be desired.

Not a big fan of this place maybe it's for everybody else, but for me it's not that of a great which is disappointing seeing that there is not many Caribbean spots in this area. I'm a Jamaican born and raised and for me, I like to eat Jamaican food if I'm going to purchase it somewhere that is made authentically. So this is a takeout restaurant of course however, I went there to get some chicken soup once and it was not the chicken soup I expected. I'm going to preference to say that and my experience with the chicken soup was not even recognizable as chicken soup in my opinion. Because of this it was a turn off. I believe if they put much more effort in making this space a good Caribbean restaurant, they will clean up $$$$$. read more

OMG! This is by far the best Jerk I have ever had in my life. This is saying a lot. I've had Jerk in at least 10 major cities across the US and in Jamaica at a Sandals resort. First I must say I'm very happy! I love great food. The jerk pork was very tender and it wasn't dried out. It was seasoned just right. The curry chicken tender. It was so good and the sauce made it even better. Rice and peas, plantains and cabbage were good and tender. Nothing was dry. My husband had the jerk chicken he said it was good. The best part about the food was the flavor. Some jerk places go wrong when the food is over cooked but everything was cooked just right. One of my new favorite spots. I HOPE THEY CONTINUE WITH QUALITY AND CONSISTENCY. A MUST TRY FOR EVERYONE read more

The food was not fresh. I ordered the small oxtail, and it came in a black gravy. It was a little over spiced, the beans and rice was a few days old, and the plantains were fried either a day or so before, or the oil had not been changed for a while. I was disappointed. It's not for me. read more

Lawd Jesus!! This was perfect! The ribs were well seasoned and had a wonderful smokey/chargrilled flavor that so many places can't seem to get. The grilled flavor is what makes it authentic jerk! I've never had ribs so tender. Fall off the bone, yes, but the actual meat being so tender was incredible. I also tried the whole snapper and although it was a risk (because it was later in the day and these were premade vs made to order), it was still 8/10. The flavors were 10/10 on the fish itself and the escovitch. I SAW the seasoning on the inside parts of the fish! Like someone took the time and effort to season it throughly! Thank you to that person!! The onions and carrots and peppers were perfectly pickled with a bit of sweetness and spice. I didn't gave up add any Matouk's (iykyk) or anything. I'm sure if it were made fresh it would blow my mind. I got double cabbage and that too was just seasoned to perfection. No corn/carrots/peas in this like some place try to sneak in. I was impressed. Lastly I was hoping to get a side of Callao but when I inquired they did something smart...they didn't say "sorry we don't have any" rather they said "we have ackee and salt fish". Not what I asked, but SURE! Let me tell you...another hit! The prices were very reasonable (maybe $50 for a whole heap a food!! And soooo good!! This is not a fancy restaurant but there is seating inside as few tables outdoor too. I can see it having a good lunch crowd but I'm not familiar with the area. I just happened to be in the area and found them on Yelp. It will be hard to make the trip out here again, but it would be worth it!! read more

They make the best smoked jerk chicken in Georgia. I always get the jerk chicken with rice& peas with oxtail gravy

Once you try this place you won't want Jamaican food from anywhere else. It's so good my husband and I ate here for our anniversary dinner, even though it's primarily take out. The food is always amazing. Their ribs are my new favorite menu item; my husband usually gets the jerk chicken, but everything is good here. read more

I was hungry and went here to get food because I was in the area. There was a long line of people. The food was good, however, the jerk chicken seemed pre-made and not freshly cooked barely warm, shriveled. The rice was hot and fresh and so was the cabbage. I'm giving 4 inside of 5 stars because they were stingy with the chicken. My serving was mostly bone very little meat, and the cabbage did not have the best flavor. The jerk sauce was amazing 10 stars. It comes on the side but I also had it added to the rice. The red velvet cake, 20 stars! It was so good. Fresh, cream cheese icing, and a smooth from scratch taste. That I would buy the full cake of for an event or gathering. read more

As a transplant from Los Angeles, one of the places besides in-n-out that I miss is Pollo A La Brasa. This jerk shop fills that craving and then some. It's like Pollo A La Brasa and Jamaica had a baby and this is it all grown up. There is nothing fancy about this place, just your neighborhood hole in the wall run by the family. You won't find a replica anywhere else in a 50mile radius and yes they have a secret sauce. The jerk chicken and jerk pork is smoked with hard wood and gives a nice bark and lovely smoke ring. Which tastes exactly like Pollo A La Brasa in Los Angeles! But the real star is the spicy jerk sauce (you have to ask for it to be made spicy)! That knocks your socks off, the spicy, tangy, subtly sweet jerk sauce mixed with the smoky woody flavor of the chicken and pork... mind is blown every time. Their oxtail is amazing too, sadly it's also almost always sold out! read more

I came here several years ago and if I'm being honest, I wasn't impressed. At the time I ordered Oxtails which were okay, but not worth the time of writing a review. However, there is a twist, so read til the end. ~ THE SCENE Well, I found myself picking up our dog from the groomer located in the same shopping plaza, but I was a tad early. So I drifted into K&S Jerk Shop curious to see the menu again. My first thought was "how are they still in business", but then something caught my eye. The owner's son was preparing to eat a delicious looking plate of ribs and my interest was immediately peaked! You see just a few weeks ago I wrote a review of Jamaican-style ribs that were absolutely delicious and I've been craving them ever since. However, they are on the other side of town and Atlanta traffic is bad enough to make a preacher cuss on Sunday! So, I thought 'why not give these a try!' ~ THE FOOD I don't make the following statement lightly: These were the BEST DANG PORK RIBS I've ever eaten in my life!!! Even better than the ribs I was craving across town. If you are a lover of well-seasoned no need for sauce BBQ, you MUST try these! Fall off the bone tender and shockingly delicious! Makes me want to give the oxtails another try as well as dive into other items on the menu that are typically my favorites like Curry Chicken and Curry Goat. All items on the menu seemed reasonably price + great portions. ~ FINAL THOUGHTS I didn't learn until after I made it back home this is a new business and not the one I visited years ago in this location (which was also a Jamaican restaurant). The food from the previous business was so average that I didn't remember the business name, and thus assumed it was the same as K&S. So glad I was willing to give them another try. Other wise I may have never discovered this is an entirely different restaurant with much better food than the previous establishment located here. Which makes me wonder how many others in the area are like me and think it's the same restaurant as before? The interior dining space is small, making most orders here to-go. It is my understanding they mostly only have ribs available on weekends, but I was fortunate the sun, moon and stars aligned so they happened to be available on the unlikely Wednesday that I would drift inside. GET THE JERK RIBS and get ready to do an epic happy dance! 2020 / 61 read more

The jerk ribs are a must. I'm obsessed with this place now. The large plate is very filling and the ribs are packed with a bunch of such good flavor. Rice and cabbage that come with the plate is also very flavorful. Service is awesome and I'll be coming back for the oxtails next time. read more
