I visited this restaurant THREE times within a week. My first time was last Saturday, 2nd Wednesday and was back that Friday. Shame, but when it's good I run it back. The first 2 times I got the stew chicken (comes with rice&peas) I chose cabbage and Mac&cheese for my sides. Stew chicken is delicious, has a little bit of a spice kick, but not too crazy. On the latest visit, I ordered the jerk steak&cheese. The steak&cheese was tasty, but I couldn't really taste anything jerk about it. I would definitely order again, but I would ask for a side of whatever jerk sauce they use. I've wanted to try the jerk chicken eggrolls, but they didn't have any on any of the days I visited New to the RDU area, so glad to have found this restaurant. Definitely going on my list for go-to GOODTTT BigBackPlates

Excellent flavor, increíble cornbread. Fair price worth every penny. Super satisfied & lamb-chops were so tender.

Good food and portions. Get here early or get ready to get in line. The customers don't play about this place! They lined up and the line moves but more kept coming. There is also limited seating, almost picnic table style. Now onto the food. It was good. Not the best ever but no complaints. The house drink were phenomenal! Super duper sweet lemonade and other punches (yes I had more than one). So delicious.

First time here and I already want to come back!! The food was so damn yummy!! I knew the second I got there and the line was to the door that the food would be worth the wait and it was. The employees were super friendly and attentive they checked every single order before giving us our food.

Came here one random weekday for lunch. The line I saw as we entered was definitely a good sign. Unfortunately they ran out the Jerk chicken so we settled for the curry and stewed chicken lunch special. Totally forgot to order the patty though. There was a sign explaining why there might be a longer wait and were determined. The flavors of the curry sauce were flavorful and packed a small kick. Chicken pieces were plentiful. The rice and peas were well done and plantains were fried just right and created charred bits around the edges. The stew chicken was good, but flavors were less pronounced. Portions were generous and I love that. Would definitely come back for the Jerk and patties. Coming from Church St. in BK, I'm glad to have found this spot. I saw chopped cheese on the menu too, hmmmmmmm lol

Shout out to wheres the jerk In Durham on South Miami Boulevard for having the best Jamaican Food I've had since leaving NYC! I've been searching for an authentic Jamaican restaurant in NC with the classic mom & pops feel of the ones from The Bronx but have come up short everytime. Finally, I've found one that gives me that nostalgic feel of being back home! If you're looking for great service, authentic, diverse and flavorful Jamaican food boasting in the traditional seasonings and spices of this Caribbean cuisine that will feed your soul, head over asap and give them a try! My personal favorite is the Oxtail Dinner with Mac & Cheese, Candied Yams & Sweet Plantains!!!...Don't forget the extra oxtail gravy

Here's my first review of 2024! I was online snooping, looking for some good Caribbean food and came across Where is the Jerk on Instagram. My mind is blown and had no idea that we had food this good in the area. Where have I been all this time? Chef, Sheldon, and his team Are cooking up Caribbean eats that you must try. Hands-down a flawless dining experience. 10 or 10. I can't wait to come back again. Matter of fact, I'm just arriving here tonight and it's my second time this week. We've tried more than 10 dishes on the menu and everything we've had has been amazing. Here's a tip for you, be sure to grab the red velvet, brownie as it will put your soul in a chokehold! cheers to my first review of 2024!
