Pimento Jamaican Kitchen & Rum Bar

I come here about twice a month and i get the One Love Special with the jerk pork and jerk boneless chicken. Always a hit…but these past two times I’ve gone this month specifically have been reallyyyy bad. Their jerk pork is lacking soooo much flavor. It’s usually full of flavor and spice. None whatsoever, it’s so bland and no heat! Same goes for the jerk chicken; it’s so white. And for the rice and beans, so much lack of flavor, and it’s not being cooked the way it was before. The rice seems to be cooked in a lot more water because it’s super wet and mushy; and again, no flavor. Just bland overall. I use to recommend this place to friends and family but unfortunately I probably will stop coming here until they go back to the same way they cooked it before. Whoever was cooking it up in t

The jerk chicken has great flavor! I’m disappointed in the “cabbage” it’s literally just cole slaw.. I have never been given cole slaw at any Jamaican restaurant. 7/10 overall. Moving from down south I really had high hopes.

We picked up an order for about 12 people for a work meeting and it was DELICIOUS! We did have a little bit of a wait when picking up but it was busy and you could tell they were carefully packing everything up. I got the One Love with boneless chicken and veggies. The plantains were perfect. This was the comfort meal I needed and I can’t wait to come back!

I don’t doubt the bad reviews, but fortunately I’ve had good experiences with their food at the Nicollet Ave location. Good portion sizes, mine has always come pretty fresh, and I’ve loved the jerk chicken I’ve gotten. Maybe it depends on who makes it and who’s watching it during the day. 🤷‍♂️ but I’ve loved the food both times my wife & I have gone. I got the jerk chicken and it came with a good portion of rice, chicken, and a little coleslaw. I loved their coleslaw - its simple. I hate when it’s covered in sugary cream sauce, so I’m glad theirs is so simple and fresh. Plantains were good and the barbecue sauce we got was fire. Yes, jerk chicken is spicy. The hope is they don’t overdo the seasonings as some reviews say, but it does come spicy. Maybe more than you may think, but it’s g

Glad we did not see the poor reviews. We had a great experience on during a weekday lunch. Split the One Love Special with boneless jerk chicken and jerk pork, along with a side of the coco bread. Ample portion to split between the two of us and I probably ate more than I should have, but just had to finish all I could. the Minnesota Nice Sauce was maybe a bit mild for my taste, but did not want to over do the heat since I was splitting. Good spice on the meat though. Place was not very busy, but it appears from some of the reviews they must do a fair amount of takeout/delivery. Maybe that's what accounted for what seemed like out of the ordinary service for a counter order restaurant. The gentleman at the counter was super friendly and gave us some good natured ribbing. Maybe a bit rough
