    Jerk Chicken Alfredo
    Moises T.

    Stopped by St. Bess Jerk and decided to try something different and new. I ordered the chicken alfredo, and wow, I was not ready for how good it was. This wasn't your typical bland or overly heavy alfredo. It was full of bold flavor, with spices that hit in the best way possible. The chicken was incredibly juicy and seasoned all the way through. You could really taste the jerk influence in every bite. It had a perfect mix of heat, savory spices, and a little smokiness that made it super addictive. I kept finding something new with each forkful, which made it exciting to eat. The pasta itself was coated in a rich, creamy sauce that didn't feel too heavy. What really stood out was this hint of citrus like a touch of lemon or lime, that gave it a fresh, bright twist. It balanced everything out and made the dish feel lighter while still being super satisfying. I've honestly never had alfredo like this before. The portion size was solid, definitely enough to feel full or take some home. Service was friendly, and the food came out quickly. I'm already planning to come back and try the jerk chicken next, but that alfredo is definitely on my go-to list.

    I feel I got cheap for the lunch special 3 cut pieces of chicken and it supposed to be to be a 1/4 white. I will not be going back. Not worth $14

    This Jerk Chicken is smoked to perfection. The sauce was perfect. Food took 10 min nice portions . I can't wait to get some more . Right at 79th Cicero area .

    Jerk wing dinner

    Wings were tender with the perfect amount of spice and charred. The yams are a must, rice was slightly undercooked and the macaroni was satisfying. Extra jerk sauce was included without asking. I'll definitely be back. Order ahead, I used grubhub and it was ready in 10-15m. Give them a try, this is a great option in the area!

    Yes I'm sorry I ate it all. Lol I can show y'all a snippet. lol

    The people are always polite and nice when you go in for pick up, even when I order online each and every time my food has been absolutely delicious. Please try this location in Burbank. So worth the price.

    Jerk Chicken Dinner, sweet potatoes and Mac
    Brittany T.

    My first time coming further west on the 9 for Jerk Chicken and I'm definitely coming back. I had The jerk chicken dinner with side of Mac and sweet potatoes. When I tell you that I scraped every morsel of food off the black tray... I was well pleased with everything. They're in my top 3 for jerk on the south west side of Chicago.

    Dark Jerk Chicken
    Jaclyn W.

    We were in the area and craving jerk food, so we came here. The girl working the counter was very friendly. The restaurant was clean. They do share a parking lot with other businesses. I ordered that jerk chicken dark dinner. It came with red beans and rice and I chose macaroni and cheese and mashed potatoes. My dinner was $12. I thought it was definitely worth the price and the food was pretty good. My only complaint was there was a lot of small bones in the chicken and kind of hard to eat at times. Portions were big on the side dishes. My fiancé enjoyed his curry chicken dinner. His was $15 and he chose cabbage and plantains.

    Sut, from the chicken, not a clean grill!!!

However, today I decided to try a different jerk spot. The food was honestly just alright. I kept looking for the WOW factor but just didnt get it. I ordered a 6 wing dinner with two sides. The wings were a little salty and taste more like American bbq chicken rather than jerk. The jerk sauce taste like a pre-packaged marinade. The cabbage was also salty with a slimy, greasy texture to it. The Mac and cheese was STELLAR! The vibe is a nice spot to drop in for spontaneous lunch. They do have adequate seating to accommodate dining in. The restaurant also appeared nice and clean. The customer service was good, friendly and welcoming. I even met the owner, "Antwon." It's always a nice touch to see an owner present. All and all the food was just alright. I honestly just didn't get that "authentic Jamaican spice taste". Jamaican Gates still holds the throne . (See review on that profile).

I grabbed the 2 meat, 3 side special which included: stewed chicken, jerk chicken, rice and peas, cabbage and plantains. There's a solid amount of food and I'm going to be eating on this over the next two days. There's rice and peas were incredibly flavorful, moist and had a hint of spice. The stewed chicken's skin was falling off! That's how tender it was and I love anything with bell peppers and onions. The cabbage was solid with great crunch. Sometimes it can get too mushy, but this didn't. The plantains were just right!! Great palate cleanser as I transitioned to the jerk chicken! And the jerk chicken was a hit!!! Good amount of spice and flavor! And juicy! I also had extra jerk sauce on the side. Hmmmm I honestly enjoyed both chickens and would say if you're unsure of which to get, just get both... you'll definitely order from here again lol I ordered through uber eats and naturally was PRAYING that my order was correct and it was. A nice hefty serving and of course I also have a slice of the caramel cake. Mannn this slice of cake is so dang delicious. The two miles that I run tomorrow for this will be so worth it! This hit the spot and was the meal I needed after the day that I've had!

So I got the catfish because it was already made. As for the sides I got the yams and cabbage. The food was so good! It was flavorful, and filling. I ate mostly everything.

When you do come please don't wait until they are about to close because they will not cook you fresh salmon. Lol
