Dat Jerk Lansdowne: Reviews & Ratings
I had NO BUSINESS eating a 1/2 a chicken but I 100% could not help myself!! I typically avoid the legs & thighs but the leg was the first thing I smoked on this plate. This is my first time at this location but I’ve been to the Columbia ...
KeeKee was very engaging and helpful. Treated us like family. Food was definitely good with great portions and good prices. Music was great as well
I had been aiming a long time to go check this place out but somehow despite it just being a couple of miles from my house just didn’t. Well, I was yearning for Jamaican food and so I decided to try this place. Finally I make it and am excited. The welcome and ambiance is amazing. I was also so glad at the time I arrived the place was not full- that started to change soon after. The menu is right up front and quite attractive, had family friendly, kid and vegetarian options. That was impressive. What I really wanted was my mom’s Ackee but they didn’t have ackee or some other Jamaican options my husband likes. However, I ended up buying about 40 worth of food to try. The rice and peas was pretty good, covered with Jamaican jerk sauce. I also ordered what I thought was stew peas but I couldn’t find the “run dung” - gravy. This one was instead a disappointing large serving of canned red beans. The plantain was delicious, the cabbage was okay. I also thought it would be nice to have patties - so I ordered three chick peas and lentils because it sounded different. I did not like that filling. It seemed bland to me, and was hoping they had the other spinach, but I checked twice - those ran out. The crust however was crusty’s best. And the cocoa bread was awesome. As a tribute to my god mom, I ordered two roti skins which I was going to stuff myself. Didn’t like those as much either. They were a bit undercooked and inflexible. I was thinking Channa roti. To cap it all, I ordered a pineapple coconut cake, which was delicious. I was going to order my favorite drink-ting but there were none. However there was plenty of ginger beer for ginger beer lovers. For an average business today, customer service is A-1. One item was missing and they were very gracious and polite about the mistake. Overall, I think Dat Jerk is doing a good job - some food are more authentic than others but for the average American palate the food would be top tier, and the restaurant dine in setup amazing. Go check it out!
Dat Jerk restaurant put a smile on my face. Graciously with so many options to choose from. Food so delicious... Caribbean style they went and beyond my expectations... Mac cheese, oxtails with rice peas. Ms Thea waited with so much hospitality. I love that place. The is indeed is truly incredible.
Keke is very customer friendly and makes sure you have the information you need regarding the dishes. You speaks highly of the food and company. Sanna is very helpful And friendly as well. The oxtails and cabbages was good as well as the jerk chicken. The beef patties are always a go to.
Walked in, greeted immediately by Tracey. Got the jerk chicken bowl with rice and peas and cabbage. Had the run down on the sauces and desserts. Decided on the caramel apple cake which was top tier. I feel like we're family now. All I need is the heads-up on the rum punch when it comes to this location.
Dat Jerk is hands down one of the best spots for amazing Caribbean food! The flavors are on point, the portions are HUGE, and the customer service is top-notch. Miss Keke is an absolute gem—she greets every customer with the warmest smile and makes you feel right at home. You can tell they put love into their food and their service. If you’re looking for delicious, authentic jerk and a welcoming atmosphere, this is the place to be. Highly recommend!
Employees showed exceptional customer service! They welcomed with me respect as soon as I came in the door. Gave me an abundance of food at a great price. My local Jamaican restaurant is very expensive this is very much more affordable. Food was amazing and matched the customer service. Will definitely be coming back here in the future, tomorrow actually lol!
