    We decided to try the Jerk Stop today for Sunday lunch. I had the small size brown stew chicken with cooked cabbage and plantains. My husband had the jerk pasta with shrimp and the glass bottle Ginger Beer. Both of our meals were served in a to go container and they tasted delicious. My husband raved over his jerk pasta which was not overcooked and was so tasty. I would definitely come back. There were mostly high top tables and one regular table which is where we sat. This is a hidden gem and I am so glad I found it. We will be back.

    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.

    Found this jamacian spot on yelp and went with my coworkers for lunch. Service was quick and the lunch special made sense. They portion size was perfect definitely didn't go hungry. Food was seasoned and tasty. Well go back to try other items on the menu.

    Fried chicken dinner

    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
    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.

    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
    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‼

The oxtail was incredibly tender, flavorful, and fell right off the bone. The pasta was perfectly cooked and coated in a rich, creamy sauce that paired so well with the seasoned oxtail. The presentation was on point, the portions were satisfying, and the atmosphere had a fun, upscale Caribbean lounge vibe with great music. If you're looking for a spot that's perfect for date night, birthdays, or a night out with friends, Kekoon is worth checking out. I'll definitely be back to try more from the menu! The service was top tier as well for a party of 6.

For $60, their brunch offers unlimited drinks and food. I dont know what I expected but the quality and flavor of the food caught me off guard. The Jamaican spread was delicious. From jerk chicken and pork to pepper shrimp, oxtail and dumplings. The pepper shrimp is a must try! Brunch drinks were Bellinis, mimosas, margaritas and rum punch. Pro tip: mix the Bellini with a little rum punch and thank me later Chef Ricardo was an absolute darling, making rounds to our table, to ensure we were ok. I have to mention Michael, the manager, going above and beyond to ensure we felt welcomed. He joined in on our birthday celebration and kept the vibe going with birthday shots. The DJ here was also incredible. Spinning hip hop, reggae, dancehall, soca, mixing it just right for the diverseness of the crowd. Hookah was also on point. A bit pricy but well made. The bathroom situation was a little disappointing. Two stalls in the female bathroom with only one working. Hopefully this is not a permanent situation and will be looked at soon. There is lots of free parking around the restaurant. Great food & good vibes

This establishment was huge, with a full bar, plenty of indoor seating, a separate carryout section, and outdoor seating as well. The staff was friendly, attentive, and provided quick service.

I ordered two doubles, which were okay--I've definitely had better--but the sweet bread was delicious! My sister had the pholourie, and my mom ordered the goat roti. The roti was filling but a little too spicy, even for us, and we definitely like some heat! Unfortunately, her cassava pone was a bit dry.

She replied very coldly "WITH WHAT?" And looked at me with big threatening eyes. When she placed the orders on our table, I said thank you but she did not even respond back to me. No spoons , no fork , no plates , absolutely nothing. We were sitting at our table with the food with no utensils. I had to go up front and grab everything myself. The waitress did not even come back to check on us. She took our orders and left , that's it. Honestly, owners can do better with training these ladies running the businesses. Very poor service. We will not be coming back.
