It has been said - if you want to understand and learn about a culture, you should eat their food. I like Jamaican jerk chicken, I like rice and peas, also known as rice with beans. The flavor of the Caribbean, found with the bahamians as well as the Haitians. Those flavors are to be found here. The people who waited on me were very friendly and inviting. I went here for lunch with a friend he had the oxtail he remarked that it was very good. I had the jerk chicken with the barbecue sauce on it. Understand they put barbecue sauce all over the plate not just on the chicken. So if you ask for barbecue you better love barbecue sauce because they put lots on it. You should try this place you may find it to your liking.

Brooooooooooooooooo!! Absolutely authentic! I travel to Jamaica several times eight in Jamaican food in California Florida Chicago and Detroit. Jerk pit has a unique flavor, Cabbage is refreshing and light yet still packs big favor. Curry goat was absolutely perfect tender suck the meat right off the bones. Plantains for nice touch. Washed it down with a pineapple Jamaican soda. Highly recommend jerk pit for Jamaican food lovers. Marvin was pleasant and patient.

This was my 1st time eating from Jerk Pit. I ordered the Brown Stewed chicken & Curry chicken dinner. Let me tell you..... DELICIOUS! The chicken was full of flavor and falling off the bone y’all. The rice & beans were perfect and the cabbage was full of flavor. This is the best Jamaican food restaurant that “I’ve” ever encountered. The staff was pleasant and attentive. Jerk Pit is exactly what we needed! Thank you

Akeyah is such a pleasure. Pleasant and friendly staff. Great service with the food to match. My fiancé and I got the jerk pork, curry shrimp roti , white rice, vegetables, steamed cabbage, a beef patty, and Jamaican ginger pineapple soda to wash all down. So delicious. I definitely highly recommend! Go today! It’s worth it!

Not for me it wasn't. I had the jerk pork and it was nothing but fat. I also had the jerk chicken but the amount of meat was ridiculous! I didn't even get a fill thigh.Golden Krust on E.Hillsborough and Flavaz are way better restaurants for me. Now their red velvet cake was good and so was their oxtail soup, but other than that, it is a no for me. But you may have a different experience than me if you try. I, however, have 0 intentions on revisiting.
