Jerk House Caribbean Restaurant
4.9 (3,009)restaurant
This casual spot serves generous, fiery portions of jerk chicken, sweet plantains, and rich jerk pork Rasta Pasta.
Description




Beyond the main dishes, plates are rounded out with cabbage, rice and peas, and a splash of oxtail gravy. The interior is notably clean compared to some other jerk spots in Harlem and the Bronx, though the dining area itself is not the most inviting space to sit down. Service experiences tend to vary. Some visitors meet a welcoming face at the front counter ready to guide first-timers through the menu, while others encounter a more aloof staff. Ultimately, the draw here is highly rated value for spicy, traditional cooking.
