This South Side institution specializes in Jamaican-style jerk chicken, along with other classic dishes from the owner's native country. Chicken can be ordered in quarters, halves or whole and is marinated in a spicy Scotch Bonnet pepper paste before being grilled fresh throughout the day. Curry goat, ox tails, steamed cabbage and red beans and rice are almost as popular as the restaurant's namesake specialty. Carry-out is the only option and call-ahead orders are allowed for large party platters.
