I had to do a quick lunch today, so I jumped on the Ol’ iPhone and did a search in Yelp for somewhere to eat. TheJerkShack came up as one of the hits, and there were a couple of favorable reviews of the place, so I decided to give it a try. Since I have never had “Authentic Jamaican” food before I made the jaunt there. Upon finding the place I Parked and headed to the window. After deciding on the Combo plate I rang to doorbell for service. I was promptly met by the man behind the counter. He made a few suggestions and the order went in. He quickly made the plate of food and got me a soda.
I took my food and sat at the table next to the “shack” and grabbed a few quick shots with the iPhone.
The combo plate came with Jerk Chicken, Jerk Pork, Red beans and Rice. The overall taste of the food was good. And I think it was mostly healthy for me too. It seemed that the rice was brown rice, which my wife keeps trying to get me to eat. If she did it like this I might eat more of it. I would have liked a little more sauce, so that I could put it on the rice as well, but next time I will know to ask. There was a smoker behind the shack so I am assuming the meat was smoked in it.
Over all the experience was good. I think this place is a better Spring and Fall local as there is only outdoor seating. But it would be easy to swing by and do the drive through thing.
Thanks for the fooding JerkShack! Their website is located here: http://thejerkshack.blogspot.com/ They have their Menu on the site.
Roggen, out!
