BEST CARIBBEAN FOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE IN THE AREA. From the authentic flavors and preparation down to the presentation and fast paced customer service, this is where you stop to get traditional jerk or curry anything! Made fresh daily, the spice levels are just right. I have been coming to Just Jerk since I was in middle school, now past 30, they are still my family's favorite. 10/10 the jerk will make your mouth water, and the curry is always so hearty and flavorful. Each platter is served extremely fresh, hot. The is the epitome of a Black Business that actually cares about the community. The music is always bumming too!
It's a small takeout restaurant w/ friendly staff. We ordered a few items. Brown stewed chicken, beef patty, curry chicken and jerk chicken. We enjoyed everything!! I would return.
BEST HOMEMADE JAMAICAN FOOD IN THE DMV (plant based options) my new fav is the vegan version of the chicken platter and it's fresh and delicious
Amazing Jerk chicken and Cabbage and Mac& Chesse and staff is amazing with customer service outstanding 10000% wounderful
Five years since my last visit, Just Jerk has still got it - in fact, it is even better than I remember. The jerk chicken was smoked to perfection, crispy on the outside while being fall off the bone tender on the inside. The chicken was also seasoned to perfection. I could see myself eating here 3x a week, if I still lived near Lanham. It just barely edges out Charga as the best chicken place in the DMV area - get your a*s down here and try it.
This is a carry-out restaurant that doesn't look like much but the food is fantastic. The patties are delicious and the jerk chicken is amazing. The only issue we had was that our dark meat jerk chicken and rice and beans platter had a lot of small bones.
My first thought was to keep driving pass this place! Who would've ever thought. My husband LOVES Jamaican food. Jerk chicken, rice and peas, cabbage and plantains...that's his go to meal and unfortunately his favorite Jamaicas spot to get his fix closed so....stumbling across this spot-he wanted to check it out! (I also let him know my fellow Yelp buddies were giving 2 thumbs up for this place :)))))) Next time- we'll order ahead...this isn't a place you come to sit down and enjoy your meal...and it's so hot in this place on this 92 degree day. I felt like I was in Jamaica...hahaaa! I ordered the curry chicken plater. Everything was made to order and so flavorful and the coco bread was soft and delicious. I was surprised that I actually enjoyed my meal. And the hubs definitely stamped the jerk chicken platter with his stamp of approval. I'm glad we found a spot he likes. Happy Yelping!!
I live less than 10 minutes away from Just Jerk and I don't go anywhere close to enough haha. In terms of Jamaican spots in PG, it's up there for sure! It's located right Lanham Severn Road becomes Annapolis Road... and if you miss it, it will not be easy to get back there. So make sure you know where you're going! They share a parking lot with an auto place, and it can get crowded really quickly.... and it's those slanted parking spaces lol. The place itself is pretty small, and strictly takeout. There's a cool mural on the wall, and there's a visible menu for you to see. They've got the usuals, and I highly recommend their jerk chicken... they know how to make it right. Perfect balance of sweet and spicy is present! When I went recently, I was delighted that they had a lentil chickpea patty and callaloo patty! Their patty options are great and their prices aren't so bad! The DMV, especially PG County, has quite a few Jamaican options... and this is one of the first ones I'd point you to.
