Dat Fire Jerk Chicken

Used to stay on Beckwith and was in the old “hood” I can’t express how disappointed I was today. The food was barely decent… I haven’t been here in so long and was excited to see I made it before they closed today. 4-19-2024 4:15 p.m. I ordered the stew chicken with kale… The kale was EXTREMELY salty, like choked me and I had to spit it out… The chicken was decent, but it wasn’t brown stewed Jamaican chicken… The gravy was watery and lacked color and flavor. Ahhh the rice… smh the rice… It definitely wasn’t rice and peas… more like minute rice with TWO canned red/kidney beans. As someone that has been going since they opened… lived walking distance it’s really sad to see the results of today. I doubt I’ll be returning.

Thank you for visiting our workplace today. It was a pleasure meeting you. The food was super flavorful. I will definitely search your location outside of the workplace. Excellent prep time and customer service. I had the Jerk Salmon plate with Rice and Peas/Cabbage. It was so good I had to get a plate for hubby. Blessings and light.

Went 2/4/17: DAT Fire Jerk Chicken is a small whole in the wall joint serving real deal Jamaican dishes. They have a full diverse Caribbean Jamaican menu. It's located in a prime location blocks from new stadium. The service was great and friendly. I loved the music while you wait. And they cooking on that barrel grill and the smoke flavor is all throughout the jerk dishes ribs and chicken. The food was juicy, flavorful, and not too spicy; I even added more jerk sauce and BBQ sauce to the ribs. The curry was great too. No complaints here (maybe the very limited parking lot), but hey that's life. Its off the beaten path, which I always love local spots that's not tourist centric.

The food is AMAZING! I had the oxtailwith peas and rice. I was extremely satisfied! The food is seasoned well and comes out piping hot and fully flavor! There's usually a wait here. I'd highly recommend calling in advance to place your order to cut the wait time down.

I was so sad that oxtails weren't available the day I went, however, my brother and I LOVED the brown stew chicken. The chicken was so tender and flavorful. We got kale for the side and it was also really delicious. I thought the jerk chicken was okay, but my husband really liked it. The cabbage was amazing, though. They definitely know their flavors here. Definitely want to go back for oxtails. Highly recommend calling before stopping by. They were also out of jerk pork too. Overall, a great experience. We will be back.
