The portions are generous, the flavors are bold, and the food tastes like it was made with care and tradition.

It was easy to find parking nearby on the street, we walked in and were immediately sat down. Service was great throughout the meal. The server did speak primarily to us in Creole. I can see how that may not work for someone who is not Haitian. Maybe having someone who did speak a mix. However, he was very nice and the food came out fast and was delish. Shared a griot fritay to start and it was definitely tasty and portion was good. For entree I had the legume with Beef with black rice. Tasty, spicy, and very authentic tasting. I can say they stay true to the flavors and don't water them down. The drink was ehh. I did not taste much liquor in the creole punch. Not worth it in my opinion. In terms of ambiance, I wish better music was playing. The set up was cool. Nothing amazing. If I was in the area again, I would come back.

I was able to order a cocktail (mangotini) made just the way I liked it and it was super delicious. My companions ordered food which took some time come out. We only really ordered appetizers and everyone enjoyed their food. This place is not big so not too many tables. I will mention one thing I stated to the bartender....The bar chairs are INCREDIBLY uncomfortable. These seats were not made to fit full size adult derrière. Good vibe.

We came about two hours before closing on a Saturday, and they were already out of quite a few items, which was understandable given the timing. We ordered the wings, oxtail meal and oxtail pasta, and the food took about 20 minutes to come out. Everything was served hot and well plated. Taste: The food was bussing! Both dishes were delicious, well seasoned, and had a good amount of spice without being overwhelming. The oxtail was flavorful and tender, and the serving sizes definitely surpassed our expectations. We were full and very satisfied. Ambiance: It's a casual spot with a relaxed feel, perfect for grabbing a takeaway meal, I wouldn't plan to eat here though! Overall Review: Jerkies was a great find! Even though they were out of some menu items, what we ordered did not disappoint. The portions were generous, the food was flavorful, and everything came out hot and fresh. Definitely coming back to try some of the other options earlier in the day
