ISLAND JERK SHACK – Caribbean
A small Jamaican kitchen on West Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard that cooks Wednesday through Sunday and closes when the food runs out. The board runs to jerk chicken and jerk pork, oxtail, brown stewed chicken, curry goat and curry shrimp, every plate landing on rice and peas with cabbage, plus ackee and saltfish on Fridays and escovitch fish on Saturdays. Diners talk about tender meat, generous portions and seasoning that does not hold back. Seating is minimal and the line moves fast. Come early - sold out is a real risk.
