The food was filled with a ton of flavor. I ordered the coconut curry shrimp which came with 2 sides depending on size that you order. Medium comes with 2 sides and a large comes with 3 sides. The sides I chose were the beans and rice and the fried dumpling. The beans and rice had a nice kick to it but not spicy at all. The curry shrimp was a great addition to the rice and gave it a ton of flavor. The service was amazing and the lady who helped me gave me a ton of information what were the top sellers. I came towards closing so majority of the good stuff were sold out but the curry shrimp was very good. I also got an upside down pineapple cake which was good. The base was soft and moist and the pineapple was solid. Not the best that I've had but still a very tasting one. The ambiance was filled with a ton of seating and you can feel a sense of culture in this restaurant. Definitely would come back and hopefully be able to try the jerk chicken. read more

This is an example where yelp needs a sixth star. Jerk is so healthy and somehow even more delicious. Proof ital cooking is good for the environment, your wallet, your health, and the yummy tum tums. Try it, go back again and again. No brainer best restaurant in Eureka. Bless up read more

AMAZING. Love this place! Tried the goat curry and it was DELICIOUS. We grabbed a large goat curry and a large jerk chicken, big portions!! We ate them all day. The Mac is out of this world, the meat so tender and juicy, the rice and veggies cooked perfectly, flavors all hit on point. Ooo and the beef patty was tasty. Can't wait to go back and try some more! read more

This place is always fantastic! The food is very different and is a real treat! I appreciate the fact that they don't over salt their food. Too much salt is not good for people, so it is nice that it is an option. They do use their own spices which are always very tasty! The staff is consistently efficient and friendly! read more

Can't taste anything beyond the charred and burnt chicken. Mac and cheese had nothing going on other than that it was fresh and warm. Rice was just plain yellow rice. I had high hopes for the jerk chicken as I've had jerk chicken everyday for a whole week in the Breezes Resort (All inclusive) in Nassau, Bahamas back in 2018. This plate just puts it to shame. Won't be coming back. Sorry. read more

I wanted to like the food. I had the jerk chicken with three sides. The rice with peas was very lackluster. No seasoning whatsoever. I had the sauteed vegetables. They were good and fresh. Also had the mac and cheese. Very bland and lacked cheese. Needed salt. The jerk chicken was very flavorful but for 21.00 dollars this was the smallest amount of chicken. once chicken leg and half of a thigh. Very disappointing meal. read more

Food wasn't bad. The rice and bean was good. I was surprised the mac and cheese was good. The jerked chicken a bit dry. The curry was good. They used styrofoam take out containers. Service was fine; a bit slow. read more

I got the Jerk Chicken plate with Mac and cheese and rice. It was delicious!!! Everything is full of flavor.

Absolutely fantastic. Just moved up here from the East Bay Area and have been looking for a go to spot. I found it here. Came in 20 minutes to closing on Valentine's Day with my boyfriend. They only had jerk chicken and curry chicken left. We got a large plate of each to share, a pineapple guava juice and also a chicken patty. She really hooked up the plates and was very kind to us even though it was almost closing. The food was hot and tasted super fresh. The curry was so flavorful and fell off the bone. The jerk chicken was out of this world. I could not stop talking about how good the rice was. The patty was so flaky and delicious. Next time I will try the jackfruit one. read more

Our first time having Jamaican food, and we were very happy! The woman running the place is super nice and helpful and directed my oblivious BF to the right things. The chicken was good, but could've been a little juicier. The star of the meal were the plantains--simply seasoned, letting the earthy/sweet flavor shine. read more

What a great experience! Definitely listen to the reviews. Delicious authentic Jamaican food. The chicken and veggies were made with love. Did not expect the coconut rice to have so much to it as well. If we lived in the area we'd be back frequently! Friendly service and fun artwork to look at. read more

Good vibes! Amazing food! Just wish there was a tofu or vegan/vegetarian protein option!

Authentic and delicious, honestly better than the jerk chicken I ate in Jamaica. And that's saying a lot. Excellent service, the cook/owner talked to us, and when we were leaving the bbq master asked how our experience was. Definitely a must try! read more

The Jerk Kitchen - Exterior - Caribbean Near Me - Eureka, California

My husband wanted to try something a little different and this seemed like a fun food experience. They are take out only due to COVID. The menu is limited in both options and quantity. When they sell out of food they close up shop. Which they did right after we ordered. We got so lucky because this food is incredible! We all got the jerk chicken but oxtail and a chicken stew were on the menu as well. Every main choice comes with all the sides of the day. We had Mac N cheese, rice and veggies. The chicken is so flavorful and tender. It really packs a punch. The Mac, rice and veggies balance the spice of the chicken perfectly. I'm pretty wimpy when it comes to spicy food but I could not stop eating this meal. You must check out The Jerk Chicken. It's is a real treat. read more

Excellent sweet people and great food. Really enjoyed our visit even during Covid time. read more

Do not miss this place! The chicken is seasoned and cooked to perfection! Crispy outside and so moist inside! The sides were just as amazing! And our lunch was large enough for two full meals! Still think about it! We are from out of town, and can't wait to go back... read more

Great find! I have been driving by this place ever since I moved to the area and had been dying to try it. With family from the Caribbean, and a natural love for Caribbean foods... I had to try. What I will share off the bat is that the parking lot is on the west side of the building. I always got a view from Union St that made me wonder "how do I get in?" LOL Well, my slow self finally realized the entrance was simply on the other side. Plenty of parking and plenty of seating inside. It's small but welcoming and you can just tell walking in how fresh and authentic the flavor is about to be. The lady working at the counter was very thoughtful and courteous and provided her positive confirmation on my selections. Just to get a taste I went for the basics. Jerk Chicken and Coconut Rice. I'm not sure what seasonings they use there but it had just enough kick to pull off that party in your mouth feeling and enough flavor to make me wish I had gotten more. I appreciate the Jamaican sodas on hand as well and it just really felt like the food was made with real love. Stop in and enjoy! I'll be going back to methodically try the other things in the menu soon! read more

When they are open, the food is great ! But they always run out of the oxtail veggies and jerk chicken.

Where to start... I guess I'll start with Amazing! Everything we tried here was amazing. So much so that I didn't feel the need to adjust the flavors on anything with salt, pepper or hot sauce. These ladies can cook! We had jerk chicken, oxtails, rice and peas, Ital stew, veg and pineapple upside down cake. You could taste the love in every bite. I was looking forward to trying some of the patties as well, but they were already sold out for the day. I'll definitely have to come back earlier next time. Yes, I'll definitely be back. I wish I lived closer so I could eat here all the time . The smiling faces and delicious food make this a must try for anyone in the area. I can't think of a place in Humboldt that I would rather eat. Thanks ladies! read more

I've honestly not eaten a lot of authentic Jamaican food but have watched a lot of videos about the cuisine in that country and was absolutely blown away by everything I've eaten here. Jerk chicken's as juicy and tender and wonderful as any barbecued chicken my dad ever made. Oxtail stew was utterly buttery and perfect. All the sides are amazing, from the rice to the mac & cheese and veggies. And the patties are the best I've ever had. I think about going to this place every day now. Best new restraunt in Eureka. You've had a Double Double, you haven't had this. In-n-Out isnt going anywhere. Do it!! Do it now!! read more

Food is amazing here. It's the next best thing to being in Jamaica. Glad we found this little spot while staying in Eureka. They're open for walkthrough style takeout. read more

Excellent food, excellent customer service. I would give them 5 stars if not for the extremely long wait times.

The dumplings were hard as rocks, they were out of butter beans, and the oxtail was super fatty. Service was friendly. I wanted to give them more stars, but couldn't. I'll give them another try... read more

5/5 stars... would be a 10/10. Best jerk chicken I have ever had, service was great and friendly. Ambiance in the restaurant is perfect and made me feel like i was in Jamaica. Cool people, good music, ONE LOVE!!!!

Really tasty food and nice staff. The chef came out to ask how the food was, which was a nice touch.

This place was lauded for it's amazing food. I was skeptical as I can be particular about what I eat, but it was extremely delicious. It surpassed my high expectations. I had the ox tail and it was phenomenal (flavorful and tender)! The sides were also delicious. My only complaint was that I wanted more. Definitely a must if in town. read more

Fantastic food!!! I never write reviews but we decided this place exceeded our expectations so we had to write one. A not to miss place if you are in the area!!! read more

My partner and i haven't been this to a place in a while since the change of management and unfortunately, we're slightly disappointed. We were looking foward to coming but it seem like the recipes have changed up quite a bit. Its cool that they added more stuff to the menu but why switch up the ogs? Don't get me wrong food is still good quality but they should really ask mom n pops for the original recipes read more

Came back during another trip to the Eureka area. Service has improved big time and workers wear masks. The food is absolutely perfect. Ordered curry goat, beef patties, and jerk chicken. Seasoned well, generous portions, great prices. Highly recommend! read more

I was hungry, tired, a little sad. Walked into the Jerk Kitchen and got some jerky chicken, that came with a side of brown rice topped with red cabbage, and macaroni. I also got some green banana porridge. I will tell you that it was godly. It was succulent. It was delicious. You never know what's gonna happen, so please PLEASE go get some food from the Jerk Kitchen and love yourself and the people that made it happen. (Especially the team members working for Jerk Kitchen - show love by tipping them!!) PS also got plantains there, had the same effect as above! read more

We got 3 meals, the jerk chicken, curry goat, and veggie meal. All 3 were delicious. The Mac and cheese was the best I've ever had and I'm 44 years old. Great food and can't wait to go back. When you look at these meals you can see that they're real food, cooked like home but something I had never had before. read more

Found this place after driving 5 hours. I had the Jerk Chicken with Mac n cheese, wife had the Curry Chicken also with Mac. Hit the spot. The flavoring is authentic although Mac wonderfully surprised us both. Mango Carrot drink polished off our meal. Absolutely loved it. Despite its casual setting, the food was definitely worth it. read more
