i had my birthday party here last year. They were so relaxed and accommodating!

With all the great restaurants in the city you pick this one. You guys must be hurting for Chefs to interview.

If you are Jamaican, AVOID. Caribbean Delight (on 11th and South, I believe) offers much better food and service for LITERALLY a quarter for the price.

My (Jamaican) family’s experience last night:

* A rude and inept waitress
* Barely any Jamaican presence
* Ting for $3?!
* Escovitch fish for $24 (the smallest snapper I have ever been served, and the only flavor was an over-abundance of black pepper)
* Lukewarm curry goat, probably microwaved
* Rice served a half-hour after the escovitch and goat, with barely any peas
* My mother’s escovitch was unaccounted for and not served until the rest of us were finished eating
* Plantains weren’t ripe and were tough instead of soft and sweet
* Our waitress announced that my mother’s credit card was declined due to “insufficient funds”…my mother’s card wasn’t declined…THEY DON’T ACCEPT AMERICAN EXPRESS and the waitress was too dim-witted to realize that before she embarrassed my family.
* The cover band was enthusiastic, but honestly ******…they butchered every Jamaican classic reggae song in existence (American boy trying to channel the voice of Bob Marley and Junior Murvin…not a good look).

In short, this restaurant exploits Jamaican culture (fooling, obviously, the Rittenhouse residents from a few blocks away with their trendy ambiance and bland food) without delivering the quality.

Wow, I’m sorry you had such a bad experience at the Jerk Hut! I’m passing this along to the folks at the restaurant to make them aware of your thoughts.

We Dub Luv the Jerk Hut!!! Nothing but friendly vibes, great eats, and what an amazing outdoor space!

Come this Saturday Sept 13th and hear Tribe of Djembe - from NYC!!! Roots Reggae!!!
