Yardies Jerk

Wanted something other than my regular sushi every Friday, so i came across this spot on Grubhub… can’t go wrong with jerk chicken. I ordered a quarter jerk chicken breast and wing, rice and peas and of course i had to try their carrot cake.
I got a call not too long after i placed the order saying that they ran out of jerk breast, would i prefer a leg and thigh instead and if i would like to make it a meal, which came with rice and peas, veggies (cabbage) and sweet plantains… why not?
Overall the prices are great, food is flavorful (just right) and the carrot cake was a YES for me! Huge con is the delivery fee, which is not a tip and the delivery guy greeting me with «what’s good?» … but I’d definitely like to try the rest of their menu.

Consistant… always hot, well seasoned, and all the female staff smile.

Their jerk chicken is on point. I love the fact that they drizzle a lil bit of oxtail gravy over my rice just so it’s not dry upon consumption.
The girls working behind the counter are very nice. Once and a while you’ll get a serious grill or two but I’d like to think that’s just their face. Lol. So try not to think much of it.

My husband and I frequent Yardies for one thing, their festival. Yes their festival only! I’m pretty sure they are the only Jamaican spot in the area pumping out fresh festival at 11pm at night. With both of our weaknesses for fried sweet dough, their hours always work to our benefit.
Their menu offerings, at one point, were very simple; Jerk chicken and/​or jerk pork with rice and peas and steamed cabbage, jerk chicken soup and ofcourse, festival. I used to enjoy their soup and jerk chicken but the chicken was inconsistent. One day it was moist and flavorful, next day super dry, day after seasoned perfectly but cold; It was ridiculous. My husband even got sick after eating their jerk chicken on one of our late night/​early morning visits; Ever since then I swore I wouldn’t order food from them anymore.
We ended up here last night bc we both were craving fried dough. We ordered 6 festival to go as they are only 3 for $ 2. As the cashier bagged them up for us I noticed they had more options on their menu; Oxtail and butter beans and even jerk salmon which sounded delicious. I proceeded to ask her how long the jerk salmon would take to make and she informed me it was already ready. I should have taken that as a bad sign bc seafood dishes at West Indian restaurants are almost always made to order. I ignored the thought though and was happy to hear the salmon came with steamed green beans and carrots, which were plentiful. Hubby noticed they had a rice and peas, steamed veg and plantain plate for $ 3 so he ended up ordering that for himself.
Once we got home we dug in. The festival was soft and still warm which was perfection but that’s all l can really give praises for. The plate with rice and beans, veg and plantain was alright. They put gravy on the rice which made it more flavorful but the steamed cabbage was definitely raw and bland and the plantain were tiny as hell and rock hard. My jerk salmon was cold and dry, like it had been sitting there all day but the steamed green beans and carrots that came with my plate were good.
I knew I should have just stuck to what I know they do well here and that is festival. Those delicious cornmeal fried dumplings are worth the trek here, just don’t get anything else on the menu.

Decent food, the jerk chicken and pork are both good. The pork is sold by the pound ($ 8/​lb) but beware it’s not boneless like some other jerk centers/​huts in Jamaica and Brooklyn. An order of pork is topped with pickled onions, and they give you a tiny container of hot sauce with it.
This jerk center doesn’t have bottles of sauce up front for you to add your own like some other places do, they claim to be open extremely late, till 530am! I need to test that theory and report back.

The jerk salmon was disgusting, no flavor, dry & a waste of money. They won’t get a dime from me again.

To begin… This has to be one of the best jerk chicken places out there. The chicken is so full of flavor and juices with the right amount of spice. Even the kids enjoyed full family meal. Which by the way was great in belly and even better in the wallet. Definitely recommend to eat in or carry out. Call in to avoid any lines at the counter and their humble staff will give you one of kind of experience. Enjoy !!!

The very best jerk chicken in town.
Well balance not too spicy, extra hot source on the side. Great price $ 7:50 with rice and beans. Strongly recommend, give them a try.

Was in the mood for some jerk chicken and found this little spot. The jerk chicken was very good! It was nice and spicy it didn’t even need the sauce, but the sauce was very good to it was sweet and jerky. We also had some jerk pork and it was very very good. The only reason it gets a 4 stars and not 5 was because the service wasn’t the best. But other then that the food was amazing. I will be coming here again!!!
