Ultimate Jerk Centre

Popular for locals to congregate to take in a cricket match, eat jerk, and vibe out, Ultimate Jerk Centre (9am-10:30pm Sun.-Fri., 9am- midnight Sat., US$1-5) does stewed chicken and pork, curry goat, stewed conch, potato, festival, bammy, fritters, rice-and-peas, and french fries. The bar serves a variety of liquor, and an oldies party is held the last Saturday of the month. The jerk is the best in the area and doesn’t linger on the grill thanks to a steady flow of traffic.

Scotchie's

Scotchie's (11 a.m.\11 p.m daily, US$4\11) is easily the best jerk in Jamaica, serving pork, chicken, and steamed fish. Sides include breadfruit, festival, and yam. Scotchie's was forced to move back from the expanded highway and took the opportunity to redesign the dining area, adding a nice bar in the open-air courtyard. Scotchie's founder Tony Rerrie used to have parties where he would bring a master jerk chef from Boston Bay in Portland, where locals claim jerk originated, and patrons would beg him to make the jerk offering a regular thing.
