    I was in the area ( area meaning Menifee) and was hungry. I took a little drive up the 215 and headed to Perris. I got there close to 12, I believe they open at 11:30. Customer service was good. I ordered the Jerk Chicken entree. You get to chose your rice and a side. I got rice and peas and Rasta pasta. It was ready in less than 5 minutes. I was going to sit and eat it there but they automatically bagged it up. Welp... now I had to wait til I got home. I will say the serving is generous. Generous on the chicken and rice. My plate also came with 1 little lonely plantain haha. Chicken was good and omg the smoke flavor from the bbq. It's been a minute since I've tasted anything from a grill. That alone had me doing the happy dance. The jerk has slight heat, and was finger licking good ;-). The chicken is chopped up whole chicken so be careful of some bones here and there. I liked the rice and peas and drizzled some jerk sauce on it which made it better to me. The Rasta Pasta was just ok. They didn't give me enough to really judge it'. It needed a dab more seasoning for me. Oh and that plantain was tired.. it had to go. It definitely wasn't freshly made, tasted like a left over piece, or it wasn't ripe enough. All I know was it was dry and tough. Would I recommend them, absolutely and I plan on coming back when I'm in the "area"

    Drew and the staff were super helpful. Items will sell out towards the end of day. Get there! Food is super delicious.

    Was in the area picking up my daughter's bf from train station and decided to try this place out, since I've been craving some Jamaican food! Definitely worth it. Service was ok. Very small place. Drove the food 30 minutes home it was still warm and absolutely delicious.

    Oxtail Plate with Yams
    Omena A.

    I can't believe I'd not already did a review! I visited on Valentines and it was in the mid afternoon. It wasn't crowded at all but supplies limited. I recall this because I live about 3 hours away, searching for restaurants in the area I was visiting, the excitement and skepticism to see a Jamaican spot.. I wanted everything! Unfortunately, there was a party that called in a catering order (that day) and purchased ALL the patties. So that was a disappointment... BUT.. I had the oxtail plate with the yams and yes ma'am!!! Tore that plate down. And I eats Jamaican food, from Jamaica to the states. I was very happy with the quality, size and price was decent as well. I'm only mad I don't have them closer to me! Now, contrary to my boyfriend who had the Jerk chicken plate with the Rasta pasta. The pasta 10/10 but the jerk was ok. I believe the way the chicken was cut, the bones shattered so there were shards of bones while he was trying to eat it. Also, we had to buy a ton of the jerk sauce. A ton. He says 4.5-5/10.

    Jerk Chicken

    First off, the portion sizes were on point. I was shocked at how much food I received. I ordered a side of your chicken and a side of steamed veggies and I couldn't even finish it all. That's a good starting point. The steamed veggies - everyone has steamed veggies. They're all made pretty similar yet These were the best veggies I think I've ever had. Idk ‍ , they were steamed veggies, but the flavor and texture was jumping out of my bowl. I really enjoyed the jerk chicken as well. I loved the char on my chicken and it had a nice jerk barbecue sauce with it. Hands down this was one of the better Jamaican meals I've had in the I.E. I'll definitely be back to try other stuff now. I would recommend you try other things as well.

    Rasta Pasta and Oxtail with white rice with a side of plantains
    Jo Ann G.

    Stopped by to pick up an order of Rasta Pasta and an Oxtail plate with white rice and I enjoyed every bite!!! The oxtail was that "fall off the bone" kind of yum!!! The staff here are pleasant and quick with service. The store was busy when I stopped by early evening, the parking was almost full and designated for the surrounding businesses. Dining area is limited but I am sure that if they expand at some point, they would definitely increase their sales!! Many people waiting on their orders. This store stayed busy yet seemed well maintained. It would not be spacious enough to accommodate large groups but don't let that be the reason to miss out on their food! Definitely a place for that tasty Jamaican food you will crave for every now and then!

    Rude Jerk Jamaican Kitchen located in Perris California takes on a unique twist into introducing Jamaican cuisine into the public and into the world. Im filipino and my culture loves the oxtail especially in our kare kare but the oxtail at Rude Jerk Jamaican kitchen takes it to another level. The menu kinda caters to all and then some. If you see my photos I had wings, oxtail plate with rice and beans, plaintains, rasta pasta (delicious), and a Sorrel Slushie. Being out here in California I dont think I ever been in a Jamaican store front before that sold food so anytime and every time I see Jamaican food being sold I am 100% sold so Rude Jerk is it! From Jerk Chicken, chicken and beef patties , curry and much more what can you ask for! Location for sitting down is not that great so if you try to get intimate with someone this place aint it other than you taking food to dine out or have some me time like me and sit in a little ol table by yourself and write a review. Service is top notch and how food is delivered out to you is superb. I witnessed them handle and diffuse a situation with a needy customer and service is top quality. Overall my oxtail plate was super delicious...spice was good and flavor was off the wall. I love me with oxtail that has meat and not fatty. The protein and rice ratio was plenty. If you are ever in Perris make sure this is your first stop!

    Jerk Chicken with Rice with Peas and Fried Plantains with a side of Steamed Veggies

    This place is amazing!! I drove from Riverside to come check this place out, called in my order, and within 10 mins it was ready. The jerk chicken plate was amazing, the sides were delish, the plantains were 10/10, and so were the steamed veggies. They have lots of good options for drinks too! Next time I come back, definitely want to try the oxtails. It's hard to come by authentic Jamaican food in the IE, so i highly recommend to come check this place out!!

    A wah yuh deh pan ?!? Waahhh ggwwaannnnn So yes !!! This place gets my stamp of approval!! I ordered a party tray of jerk chicken that was very decently priced, I was hoping it was going to be good and it didn't disappoint. I'm beyond EXCITED to see my kinda ppl with a restaurant near by ( closest was Colton ) so to see a Jamaican restaurant open in Perris was very exciting!! The place is small and reminds me of typical jerk huts you'd see in states with more West Indian ppl buttt let's get into the food ! The food definitely has the flavor, the spicy level feel like they may be catering a little for the local as in don't want to kill dem wit peppa so the scotch bonnet might not be there like you typically see bbuuttt that doesn't change the food is very good I've been back to try their: Curry goat 9/10 ( missing the heat I'm use to ) Brown stew. 10/10 Beef Pattie 10/10 Overall definitely worth the visit and I'll beck!!! Friendly service and good food !!

    Beef patty
    Josh B.

    Came here craving jerk chicken and this spot did not disappoint. Grabbed the oxtail plate, jerk chicken plate, and some beef patties. The jerk chicken; smoky, spicy, slightly sweet and it came with peas and rice. The oxtail plate is really good, super tender and flavorful. Id stop by again!

    Oxtails plate with rice and peas, and a side of candied yams
    Charles T.

    DoorDash order: Authentic Flavors, Generous Portions! The oxtails were incredibly tender rich, savory gravy. Loved the candied yams on the side; they hit that sweet spot. The rice and peas were spot-on authentic, and those jerk wings? Just the right kick of heat--moist. , flavorful, and clearly made with care. Will definitely be ordering again!

    Grilled Jerk Shrimp Natural Juices and Rice with Peas Side of Jerk Chicken I took the picture more than halfway through the meal

    I have been wanting to try Rude Jerk Kitchen for a while. I'm a San Diego native but I live in Menifee and Rude Jerk Kitchen is not far. I finally made it in and had the grilled jerk shrimp with rice and peace and steamed cabbage. I also ordered two sides of jerk chicken. First of all there was so much food. The grilled jerk shrimp was delicious and had an awesome spicy kick. The plate came with plenty of large shrimp. The shrimp came with the tail on but they were prepared so well it was very easy to separate the tail. I loved how the red and green peppers, and onions were mixed with the rice and peas. The jerk chicken was flavorful as well. I was very happy with the spice. Now one thing about this place is that the wait will be long, but I was told ahead of time that it would be 25 minutes. I never mind waiting because this food was worth it. The customer service was pleasant as well. I look forward to going back and trying more menu items.

    oxtail plate and jerk chicken side
    Irene P.

    Came here all the way from LA for a show and this restaurant might be better than the show! It was my first time trying Jamaican food and everything was so juicy and flavorful. We got the oxtail plate with rasta pasta and pea rice with a side of jerk chicken. Bomb!!! The workers were so kind as well. They highly recommended the banana pudding and at first we said we couldn't but after getting the food we knew we had to. IT IS SOOOO GOOD!!The texture and flavor was all on point. I would def try it if I could come back. I'll be dreaming about this place!

    We had an intimate birthday dinner celebration for a friend, chef Greg made this dinner a pleasure…read morefrom start to finish!! First the food!! it was delicious, each dish featured multiple flavors playing off one another, in a complex but not overwhelming way. The food is restaurant quality, and the authentic Jamaican flavors are just half the story, chef Greg takes a simple dish like red pea soup and he turns it into an edible piece of art. Of all the dishes that he cooked for us, I would say that his homemade stew pork with mashed potatoes was my favorite. But each dish was delicious! The Jerk chicken, rice and peas, with cabbage, the shrimp linguine, beef stew and red wine, festivals, and the bbq wings. I highly recommend chef Greg's authentic Jamaican cuisine.

    Wow wow wow!! Generous portion sizes. Friendly and timely service. Spicesss galore. Considerate…read morepackaging. All in all a hidden gem and in my opinion one of the best Jamaican spots in Cali! I ordered the oxtails, island shrimp, beef patties, brown stew chicken and curry chicken. Every meal comes with plastic silverware and 4 sides: plantains, a hefty serving of rice-reallyyyy flavorful- festivals, and salad. Every.single.thing.was amazing even the sides were cooked well, my personal favorite was the oxtail and shrimp! If you want authentic Jamaican food give Greg's kitchen a visit you won't regret it, he cooks with love and you can taste it in each bite. I devoured the brown stew chicken way too fast and forgot to get a photo lol. I will definitely order more while in the IE.

    Last night, I was craving a taste of the Caribbean islands and wanted a place with great flavors,…read moregenerous portions, and authentic spices. Hilltop's Jamaican Restaurant absolutely delivered. We chose to take our food to go, but they offer plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating for those who prefer to dine in. Upon arrival, Jose and Veronica were incredibly welcoming and made sure my order was correct. Even though they were busy assisting other guests, they still took the time to check on me while I waited and asked if I needed anything else. I was tempted to try their Summer Breeze drink, but I'll save that for next time. One thing to note: the food does take a little while to prepare, so come with some patience--it's well worth the wait. Our order included Jerk Chicken platters served with peas and rice, plantains, and cabbage. We also ordered a platter with Festival, along with seafood patties that were absolutely delicious. Overall, this is a fantastic spot for authentic Jamaican cuisine. The food is flavorful, the portions are satisfying, and the service is warm and attentive. If you're looking for great Caribbean food, I highly recommend Hilltop's Jamaican Restaurant--just be patient and enjoy the experience! . Also, FYI the market is no longer. BTW..they have Red Stripe Beer, along with others. Plus the smoothies are good, I tried Mango.

    We had the traditional plate with selections that included the yam, egusi, and beef for protein…read more Waited about 10 minutes for prep and I was excited to try some authentic Nigerian food! The collared greens was tasty, the yam reminded me of Hawaiian poi that was starchy and earthy. The beef could've been cooked better, though. It was really hard and tough to chew: I was a little disappointed. If the beef had been served tender and juicy (soaked in the collared greens sauce) I would've given 5 stars only because I don't think it was worth what we were charged for our dishes. Two pieces of beef that wasn't serving standard in my honest opinion. The store front is located in the food court of the Moreno Valley mall. There's a lot of dining tables and chairs throughout the food court and other food shops surrounding the dining court. There's tons of parking spaces and the mall wasn't very busy so parking is easy. I love African food and compared to my favorite spot in San Diego, this one is not on my list to revisit, unfortunately. Not for the price or quality.

    Serious food safety issue - people could get sick eating here…read more I was served undercooked chicken. It was not fully cooked on the inside, which is extremely dangerous and could make someone seriously sick. The food also looked like it had been sitting out, and overall everything felt unsanitary and careless. When I brought this to the owner's attention, she laughed and didn't take it seriously at all. No concern, no apology, no accountability. That alone is alarming when you're talking about raw chicken being served to customers. On top of that, I paid $4 for a drink and the employee told me they weren't allowed to fill it up because the owner said not to. So you're paying full price for half a drink, while being served unsafe food. This place shows zero care for customers or basic food safety. Please protect your health, save your money, and stay away from this restaurant.
