Don’t Sleep on Reggi’s Jerk.This Place Is a Hidden Gem! Reggi’s Jerk is the definition of don’t judge a book by its cover. It may be a small, hole-in-the-wall spot, but the food, service, and hospitality are next level. From the first bite, you can tell everything is made with love, flavor, and real Caribbean soul. The jerk chicken was perfectly seasoned, juicy, smoky, and packed with authentic flavor, honestly some of the best I’ve had. But what truly sets this place apart is Reggi himself. He is incredibly warm, welcoming, and passionate about his food. You don’t just feel like a customer, you feel like a guest. The service was fast, genuine, and full of positive energy. Please don’t underestimate this place because it’s new or because it looks simple. Those are usually the spots with th

I’ve been twice and both times it was extraordinary. The chicken falls off the bone and the vegan plate was the best I’ve ever had. Great people, great food. 10 stars

I have never in all 30 + years on earth went into an establishment as one like this one, with one goal, some caribbean food ( which is my favorite kind of food) Also being a cook, and have culture through my veins. I must start with; I was treated with the utmost professional, Generous, swift, friendly customer service I have ever experienced living or visiting NJ, the food is 10/100. I mean that sincerely. May Reggi’s Jerk continuously thrive in abundance and blessings. I not only left, the restaurant feeling better than I walked in, had a rough week, when I arrived. I was treated like family, I was generously given a soup and two drinks simply bc I mentioned It. Before I could pay. Off the strength.If you’re visiting or nearby please check them out, You never know how someone can leave

★★★★☆ 4.0 DC · Sep 2025

Tried this place for the first time. Ordered a jerk chicken plate that came with rice & peas and cooked cabbage. Chicken was moist not dry and had good grill flavor. Even without the jerk sauce I found everything very flavorful. (Jerk sauce is more bbq than jerk- a note for those who dont like that). Customer service was pleasant, they were patient with me figuring out the menu and options. My only negative is the outside appearance of the shop, at first I thought it was closed with the black metal gates only partially open- might turn folks away, not as inviting. Will definitely be back to try other dishes!

Reggie’s Jerk is nothing short of amazing. From the moment you walk in, you can tell there’s real passion behind the food. Every dish is packed with bold, authentic Caribbean flavor — perfectly seasoned, beautifully balanced, and cooked with care. The jerk is especially outstanding: smoky, tender, and layered with just the right amount of heat. You can taste the quality and attention to detail in every bite. Beyond the food, the energy and consistency set Reggie’s Jerk apart. It’s quickly becoming one of the most up-and-coming restaurants in North New Jersey, and it’s easy to see why. Whether you’re a longtime fan of Caribbean cuisine or trying it for the first time, this spot delivers an experience that keeps you coming back. If you’re in North Jersey and haven’t been yet, you’re serious
