"Jerk Chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender, juicy, and the jerk marinade was well balanced. Big portion size makes it a great value for the price."

"I have been here twice the hostess in the front is so sweet and accommodating. The first time I came I ordered 2 Jerk Chicken dinners with macoroni and fried rice as the side. I did not know that the fried rice comes as its own meal. And when I came back to the front to explain I wanted only a side they credited me back the money for the 3 order and gave me the food anyway! They were amazing the food is seasoned so well and delicious. They have a forever customs love them great job y'all."

"First time there. The young lady working the counter was very nice and helpful. We had the Jerk Chicken egg rolls, oxtails with cabbage greens, turnip greens and cornbread. Also had the stuffed turkey leg. Everything was good and meats tender. If we were not leaving Jackson we would have eaten there again. See you the next time we visit (833)"

"The food was fresh and tasted great. The only reason I didn't score perfect is because I have to get used to those types of seasonings a bit. But I'm definitely going to try out more!"

"It’s been awhile since I’ve done any reviews so I decided to do one while I was out for lunch. Stopped in at Jerk City Grille near the Northpark Mall in Ridgeland and all I can say is wow. The service was great. Order was taken promptly and the cost for the food was spot on. Not too long of a wait for the food and as you can see from the picture, there wasn’t a shortage on portions. The jerk seasoning on the chicken had the perfect spice level. It was “hot” enough to feel but subtle enough not to hurt. The jollof rice had an amazing flavor. I will be getting that again. The cabbage was favorable and cooked very well. The three plantains were the perfect amount and cooked very well with a lot of flavor. If you’re in the area and want great food with amazing flavors, stop here. I will be back."

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great food, great vibes — will definitely be back I went to Jerk City Grille and ordered the jerk chicken dinner with jollof rice and mac & cheese. First off, the jollof rice was amazing — super moist, full of flavor, and honestly my favorite part of the meal. Loved it. The jerk chicken leg was BIG, smoky, and packed with flavor. The sauce was really good too. The wing was awesome, strong jerk flavor and cooked perfectly. I didn’t even realize the meal came with fries, so that was a nice bonus. I got the six-piece, and the ranch was really good — tasted like it might be house-made. The mac and cheese looked good, but it wasn’t my favorite. It had a slightly bluish aftertaste that threw me off. I also tried the Rasta pasta. Huge portion for sure. It had more of an Alfredo-style taste, and while I wasn’t a huge fan of the pasta itself, the sausage was delicious. It didn’t taste store-bought at all — nice smoky flavor — and honestly, the sausage saved the dish. The bread was Texas toast, which was solid. For drinks, I got the Jamaican fruit punch (50% juice), and it was really good. Also tried the Jamaican cream soda — sweet, but way better than most American cream sodas. The service was awesome. A big kid helped me out, and since it was my first time having Jamaican food, he really took his time explaining the menu and recommending food and drinks. Super helpful. The vibes were good too. Overall, great experience. I’ll definitely be back to try more items on the menu"
