St. Best Jerk Spot

While some diners praise the tender oxtail, curry goat, and Escovitch fish, execution at this neighborhood spot can be highly inconsistent. Reports range from dried-out jerk chicken and pork to overly salty sides, and counter service is often described as brusque. When the kitchen is on form, however, the dishes are flavorful and well-seasoned, and the management is accommodating enough to handle short-notice catering orders.
