    In the area for another errand and saw the word Jerk and got instantly hungry. The hubby ran inside to buy me a mild spice jerk beef patty. The patty was warm and easy to eat in the car. The crust was crispy but did not fall apart. The beef had a mild spicy kick and was flavorful.

    Fried chicken dinner
    Yadira R.

    While looking for a new spot to pick up dinner we decided to check this spot. This Jamaican spot has some of your favorite items. We ordered a few things for take out and the food came out Fairly quick. Staff were pleasant and grateful for the visit. They are a HALAL spot so no pork. We had the fried chicken with rice and peas, plantain and cabbage . Everything on that plate was really delicious. We order a side jerk chicken which was nicely seasoned and had a good amount of spice. The escovitch snapper with dumplings and bananas were also really good , BUT burnt my mouth of how spicy it was. But so good.

    Great flavors and very consistent. If you don't like spicy stay away from the jerk. But if you do this jerk chicken has a flavorful kick. The chef is really do something special. I also tried the chicken soup and was not disappointed. Full with veggies & dumplings. This spot is also halal. Will definitely be back to try the curry goat / chicken.

    MOSTLY BASED ON VALUE BUT ALSO ON TASTE. Well myself and my family were ardent supporters of the previous establishment in this location (Tropical Twist). I stopped going to establishments during the entire pandemic becauae of very major heal issues and just lately started back venturing out. When l decided this year to seek out a pan of sprat and some king fish slices, l decided driving to Coral Springs for the Sprat for $30/pan as last year was too much. So l placed my order here and was hoping with all the live videos on Facebook, l would be exceedingly happy. It was nice to see the chef l remember vaguely still there. Tricia is a very pleasant and courteous staff member. So is the owner. I thought since breakfast is served, they would have been open but apparently not till 11:30 a.m. l have to get right down to value! Value is the category where a business succeeds or fails; as is taste of course. My order was a fail specifically in terms of the Kingfish slices. The photos here shows $48 of king fish! Let me repeat; $48 of king fish. Personally, "l" have NEVER seen slices this small. I glanced at the box there but only realized how small they were when l got home and my sister laughed me to another country for stupidity. Had l taken a more critique notice, l would have left it. Even with dinner meals l have purchased recently, a single slice is 2x this size shown here. These alices are 2.5 inches across by 3.5 inches approximately as l measured a few. I DON'T MIND SPENDING MONEY FOR VALUE. BUT THIS IS HORRIBLE. VERY DISAPPOINTED. THEY HAD STOOD TO GAIN A CUSTOMER WHO SELDOM COOKS AND BUYS A LOT. Sprat 4* Festival 3* Sauce 3* and limited Kingfish slices 0* (my neighbor who ordered 5 snappers from his selected establishment in Pines got the same amount of sauce l got for two orders of fish)! Seeing most low reviews are about my same issue of price and value, l hope this serves to help management make improvements. That should be $35/pan. Yelp has worst spelling or correction capabilities.

    Jerk Chicken Lunch Special
    Mark G.

    Came across the Jerk Spot in Pembroke Pines and we just had to check it out. Obviously, with a name like Jerk Spot, we figured we had to order the Jerk Chicken Lunch Special, which came with plantains, peas and rice topped with brown stew gravy, a soda, and a side of jerk sauce, all for just $8.50. Not only was it packed with flavor, but the portion was generous and filling. The restaurant has a casual, welcoming vibe. You order at the counter, and the lady taking our order was super friendly and made great recommendations for our group. There are plenty of small tables if you want to sit and eat with friends. I'll definitely be back for lunch and can't wait to try more of the menu! Also, glad I got a Jamaican Beef Patty to go too!

    Jerk chicken lunch special
    Sherland S.

    The first time I've had jerk chicken from a restaurant and actually tasted the jerk. I ordered the lunch special which comes with a drink. Pack your patience it's a 2 man show and they are working to their best ability to serve the customers. Restaurant dinning area was clean and just the right size to have a quick bite.

    Jerk Chicken
    Sheree W.

    Let me start with the good! I had the rice and peas with oxtail gravy. That was delicious and very flavorful. The cabbage was cooked to the perfect texture. Not too hard, not too soft and seasoned well. However... the chicken didn't seem cooked enough for me. The staff did let me know that they smoke the chicken and check the temperature to make sure it is cooked thoroughly. I just couldn't get over how it looked and the texture. I took it home and popped it in the air fryer before eating and it was delicious. Well seasoned, authentic jerk flavor. I wouldn't go back for the chicken though because of the way it looked when served. Maybe it's just me and what I'm used to. I would try something else there though because the staff was very nice and everything else on my plate was good.

    Jerk Chicken Pasta

    -Everything was well seasoned and cooked. -The sauce for the jerk chicken pasta was creamy, with a nice level of heat . -the jerk chicken was well seasoned, spicy, and smoky. You can tell that it's really smoked, because of the pink layer underneath the skin (smoke ring, for those who don't know much about smoking/barbecuing. -The brown stew Kingfish was more than adequate portion size. It was fried hard, without drying out, which I especially loved. Brown stew sauce was more savory, than sweet (which I really enjoyed, because too many places nowadays make their brown stew with sugar.) -the customer service was far and away better than any customer service that I've had any other Jamaican restaurants. Even if the food wasn't as great as it was, I would most likely come back for the great customer service. I'm tired of spending my hard earned money at places that treat me like an inconvenience.

    This place is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING ‼ Very professional, polite, friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable staff. I called the jerk chicken pasta what we Yankees normally call it, "Rasta Pasta," and the staff politely corrected me and also offered a bit of education on why they'd prefer it not to be called that. I love the authenticity! I love the ambience of smooth Bob Marley playing in the background. The food was top notch. The Jerk Chicken Pasta was amazing and you guys would definitely be coming back for more; I know I will‼

She said a few words in patois to the other woman. Next thing I know the other woman started preparing all the sides in a carry out container and then goes to the back for the jerk wings. I didn't leave until 8 o'clock with my order. It wasn't worth the time that I waited. The rice and peas and cabbage were delicious. The wings were dried out, hard and tasted like barbecue chicken instead of jerk wings. I threw them in the trash. Don't even bother putting an order in before cause you're gonna wait anyway. Get your food from the hot and ready prepared food.

    Island Tings in Miramar definitely delivered if you're craving real Caribbean comfort food…read more I ordered the curry chicken and it was exactly what you want from a spot like this. The chicken was tender, well seasoned, and soaked in that rich curry sauce. It came piled over rice with veggies and potatoes mixed in, and the flavors were deep and authentic. You can tell it's the kind of food that's been cooked slow and done right. The portions were solid too definitely a filling meal. Perfect if you're hungry and want something hearty. The restaurant itself has a cool island vibe inside with the beach murals and bright colors that make it feel relaxed and laid-back. The setup is simple cafeteria style, so you move down the line and pick what you want, which keeps things moving. If you're in Miramar and want real Caribbean flavors without the fuss, this spot is worth the stop. Good portions, flavorful food, and a chill atmosphere.

    Some restaurants serve food. Others serve memories…read more For me, Joy's Roti Delight isn't just the best Trinidadian restaurant in Broward County--it's a place that's been part of my life for years. I've been eating there since they were in their original location connected to Lauderhill Mall, and no matter how many restaurants I've visited as a chef, Joy's has always felt like home. Walk through the front door and you'll see the large photo of Mr. Vishwanath "Joy" Sawh. That picture is more than decoration--it's a reminder of the man whose kindness and passion built a place that has fed generations of South Floridians. I'm grateful I had the opportunity to meet him. He was genuinely one of the nicest people you'd ever want to meet. And the food? Simply outstanding. Their doubles are, in my opinion, the best in Broward--soft, fresh, perfectly balanced, and packed with authentic Trinidadian flavor. It's no surprise they're one of the dishes people rave about over and over in public reviews. The curry goat is tender and deeply seasoned. The curry chicken is rich and comforting. The curry duck is phenomenal. The stew chicken tastes like it came straight from a family kitchen. Pair any of them with their flavorful rice and peas, curry potatoes, or curry chickpeas, and you understand why Joy's has built such a loyal following over the years. But believe it or not... my favorite side is the pumpkin. Funny enough, I used to never eat pumpkin. Mr. Joy himself convinced me to give it a chance, telling me how good it was for me. If you know what I mean I finally listened--and I've been hooked ever since. It's funny how the smallest conversations can stay with you forever. Don't leave without trying their homemade pepper sauce either. It brings just the right amount of heat while letting the flavors of the food shine. As an Executive Chef who's fortunate enough to eat at restaurants across South Florida, I know great food when I taste it. But what separates Joy's isn't just the cooking--it's the heart behind it. The recipes, the consistency, the culture, and the people have made this place a landmark for Trinidadian cuisine. Rest in peace, Mr. Vishwanath "Joy" Sawh. Thank you for the meals, the conversations, and the legacy you've left behind. Your name still brings people together around a table, and that's one of the greatest accomplishments anyone in the restaurant business could ever hope for. Some legacies are written in history books. Yours is written in every plate that comes out of that kitchen.

Once again one of my go to's when in the mood for trini food! On this visit my friend got a veggie roti and I got 2 doubles.. 1 with curry chicken.. we also got 2 pineapple ginger juices. Everything was delicious, filling , and ready quickly.
