"I’ve always heard good things about this place but it’s a little ways out for me to get to. Today I wanted some jerk pork and saw they delivered via Uber Eats. After waiting approx 90 minutes and paying $92. The food arrived and it turned out to be such a disappointment. The jerk pork was super salty, It was difficult to consume it. The rice and peas (without any pea, not even one) was hard (rice grains was stiff) and didn’t even have any sauce or gravy to accompany it. The best thing was the plantains. The mac and cheese, hmm never seen Caribbean mac and cheese done in this style before. Sad to say the Jerk Pit ain’t for me. In response to the owners reply: Evidently there is a known issue with your Jerk Pork dish being way too salty. Just take a glance down the review page to everyone who has ordered this dish. You will find a reoccurring theme of Jerk pork being way too salty. Instead of making excuses, just access the seasoning or the preparation of the dish and make the necessary adjustments. Why would everyone who ordered this dish leave the same comment. We do not know each other. Also we ordered at different times. Some years and months ago. I purchase the 2 platers for my mom and I. My mom even called to ask if I wanted to raise her blood pressure with the salty food. I have no reason to lie to you or on your dishes. It’s still uneaten hours after delivery. I do however appreciate you taking time to respond tho. It shows you care. Best of luck to you too. Like I said before, I’ve heard lots of good things about your establishment, which is why I had no vice spending $92 on two jerk platters and some juices. Esp since I’m a Guyanese and can prepare all these myself."

The only downside was the 40-minute wait, but given the crowd, the food was served hot and fresh. Overall, it was well worth the wait!

This place has me hooked on their jerk chicken that's actually marinated for some days, then broiled on an outside grill . My other favorite is their jerk salmon to die for. Nice little cozy spot in the cut off the main road. If you don't pay attention you could miss your turn

I've ordered from the Jerk Pit several times, and I find their food to be absolutely delicious. I tend to stick with the same items, but the Jerk Pork and Jerk Chicken are fantastic—just the right amount of spice. The portions are also quite generous. I highly recommend giving them a try!

I received a notification that my food was ready but upon arrival I had to wait for another 30 minutes long story short it wasn’t worth it the mac cheese tasted like box mac cheese baked with real cheese on top the curry had no pepper as requested, I ordered curry assumed it came with rice. overall the food was nasty and salty.

Got take away. Food is ok for being in US. The woman cashing was petty grumpy/annoyed with life though. It?s like I was in kfc with that attitude. Took 40 mins for my order to be ready and ppl who ordered after me got their food before which was veryannoying. Got jerk pork, which was a bit over cooked/dry and oxtail w/ peas and rice w/ plantains which was pretty good.

The food is good. Just needs a bit more gravy when you get oxtail and to make sure sauce is added with jerk! Plantains were good! I had oxtail and curry goat. The portions were big as well. It was super busy on a Saturday (which I understand) butthere may needs to be a more organized way to order/pick up. The wait for our meals was longer than acceptable. But I would goagain. I want them to succeed. View menu

Visiting MD and tried this restaurant. Food was great 5 out of 5 stars I ordered the 2 meat plate (curry goat and oxtail with rice peas and cabbage). The service 1 star… lady that takes the order wasn’t friendly poor attitude, she seemed miserable as if she didn’t want to be at work. She didn’t greet nor spoke the entire time. Don’t think she should be working the front where customer service is vital for the experience of customers.

I'm so glad I didn't listen to some of the negative reviews on this restaurant this place was absolutely fantastic first of all I walked in and I thought it was my great great Jamaican grandma in the kitchen cooking the place smells so good the curry goat plantings macaroni and cheese was fantastic music in the background helped also.. I ordered $35 worth of food still have some leftover for dinner.. Trust and Believe I'll be back there eating real soon!!! No need to add any new photos because the ones already posted are 100% correct
