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.
Scotchies
Scotchies (11am-11pm daily, US$4-11) consistently preparing the best jerk pork and chicken in Jamaicaalso serves steam roast fish fillets, chicken sausage, pork sausage, and a soup of the day. Sides include breadfruit, festival, sweet potato, and yam. The legendary jerkpit was founded after Tony Rerrie began occasionally bringing a master jerk chef from Boston Bay in Portland, where locals claim jerk originated.
