Description




Jamrock Jerk is a mobile jerk kitchen and catering fleet that brings traditional live-fire Jamaican cooking to the streets of New York City. Operating from a central commissary in Jamaica, Queens, the team uses custom-built rigs with offset smoker drums and open-flame char-grills fueled by hardwood and charcoal, giving the meat its signature smoky depth. Diners consistently praise the authentic flavor and seasoning of the jerk chicken and jerk pork, often noting the use of pimento leaves in the smoking process. The fiery heat can be dialed up with the jerk sauce served on the side, and early birds are rewarded with sought-after oxtail and stew beef. While the meats earn rave reviews, opinions on the Mac & Cheese are more divided. Whether you're grabbing a boxed meal from a mobile rig or booking catering, Jamrock Jerk delivers a proper taste of Jamaica across the city.
