Ok so I read reviews, I've eaten her a couple years back and before that, I ate here often even before the movie and Triple D. I've been to Jamaica quite a few times, in-fact in the recent 2 years 4-Times. I even got married Montego Bay last year and had our Honeymoon in Ochi. With that... here: My anniversary was Yesterday April 27th. Since the quarantine is in effect, we couldn't go anywhere. I wanted to surprise my wife with Jamaican food and bring back the islands home. When I called, The person who answered was very nice and pleasant. Iv'e read otherwise. What I say about that is, everyone is human and can have their bad days. I've worked in hospitality and sometimes you have bad days and you don't know what its like for the person, personally. you don't know whats going on in their own life. it happens. On the food. I ordered Curry Chicken and Jerk wings. As I mentioned I been to Jamaica numerous times. The food was exceptional, even better than some places I've had in Jamaica, no kidding. There's a place in Jamaica called Scotchies in Jamaica and I have to say Jerk Hut is pretty damn good. I'll probably get some flack for this but hey, my taste has been to many, even Pier 1 in Montego Bay. Thank you Jerk Hut for making the best of our Island experience come home to an anniversary dinner. We even had some Red Strip too to go with it, NO Jerk Hut doesn't supply this, I bought it elsewhere, just made the whole experience come together.
