Jerk Machine

This place has really good food! The Oxtails and Jerk Pork are amazing! I will visit here again soon!

One star for the plantain.
Everything else is a joke. Being from Ft. Lauderdale, I was around when the Jerk Machine first opened their doors. The quality and authenticity of the food was comparable to NONE! Fast forward to now and I’m floored by what they’re attempting to pass off as Jamaican food. I hate when cultures bastardize their traditions to cater to fickle Americans.
The food was greasy and bland. And when did they stop using coconut milk in rice and peas?!! This is the quality I would expect from the very limited Los Angeles Caribbean fare options. Not from a place with such history and that’s competing with so many Jamaican restaurants in south Florida. I’ll try Donna’s next time.

Great service and food. This is a large restaurant with about 10 tables. You order at the counter and they scoop the food into a container and hand it to you. We got the meat sampler… jerk chicken and pork. I preferred the flavor of the pork. Nothing was super spicy. It tasted more baked than from a grill. The meat fell right off the bones. The rice is topped with oxtail gravy… yummy! We also got a dumpling which is fried dough… nothing exciting. You could get boiled banana or a sweet plantain instead. The rice also had peas (beans) in it.
The staff was friendly and explained the meal options. The sampler is $ 13 and includes rice/​peas and two sides. They have rum cake which I should have tried. Prices are good for the quality and quantity you receive.
There is plenty of free parking in the attached parking lot. Restaurant was clean. They start serving lunch at 11:30am. The other location more south on 441 doesn’t start serving jerk chicken until after 12pm.

Food is ok. Service is sooooooo slow. Im unsure why, but the staff treated us like we weren’t even there. They were on their phones for about 7 mins while we waited to order. And we were the only two people there. Such a weird eating experience

This place has the best Jamaican food around. I always get the curry chicken but sometimes go for two meals and get the jerk pork to which both are incredible. The staff is always friendly and take care of you giving you extra food and making you feel welcome. They just want to make you happy like a grandmother making food for her grandkids. Check this place out everything is great!
