Having lived near the mile for 7 years, I've been on a quest for truly authentic jerk chicken. As someone who grew up in Queens, I know good Jerk, and this spot is the only one that's lived up to the hype. Believe me, I've tried them all! The flavor is incredible, perfectly capturing that classic jerk taste.
My only hesitation is the price. I recently paid close to $30 for a meal that felt more like an $18 value. While the taste is amazing, that price point might make me think twice about ordering again.

Listen! Everything was so tasty that once I started eating it I couldn't put it down! I'm American and I Love good clean Caribbean food! The jerk chicken ; tasted clean and what I mean by that time was taken to prepare the chicken! As there are no veins ! Reminding me of my Caribbean girl friend who really made love to whatever she prepared! Thank you Jerk on the Water for recreating that experience for me ! It is an absolute must to dine here! As soon as my vision is restored I will be eating in house and not through Door dash ! In the mean time I will continue to order my meals from here. Even if it's a little more than cook unity or Nutre meal plans it's worth it! The coleslaw is banging and the Mac n cheese made for N appetizing meal ; chef, you put your foot in it!! I am ordering again! Do you make Irish moss? I'd love to experience some good fresh sea moss!

the restaurant states that they open at 12pm and i went to pickup during my lunch at work and they weren't even open yet. i called to see if they were open yet and nobody picked up. they opened at 12:30pm instead. i was disappointed because i only had 30mins left for lunch (get 1hr for lunch) and there was no contact or note stating that they were opening late or anything. the food however was delicious - i got the Rasta Pasta Entree. it was in a huge container (food for days lol) but it was worth it. only thing i'll say is that if you're doing pick up or delivery, schedule it for 12:15pm or 12:30pm.

I didn't take any photos and again, I am super impressed! The taste of the jerk chicken is clean along with the salad and other goodies included in the salad! I want to have it again! I'm falling in love with the quality of what I've had to eat here! I'm going to step it up ! Maybe salmon tonight! Thanks to the chefs !
