Boston Jerk Center

The food was really good. The customer service was phenomenal, and I was impressed at the $ 3.99 lunch special.

I’m kind of mad it took me this long to find this place. The lunch special is $ 3.99 and you get a ton of food for what you’re paying. The Curry Chicken is arguably the best I’ve ever had. I will definitely stop by whenever I’m in the area.

Desserts and chicken are good. I have another favorite but this place has good jerk and they cook it out back. They also have freshly made juices in house.

Ok so the customer service here is hit or miss. If you are a newbie and you ask for things on the menu, they will dryly say «no, we don’t have that» 5 times before YOU have to ask «so what DO you have today?». That aside, the food is great. My favorite is the jerk chicken (I don’t even like spicy food) and the veggie plate with curry gravy. I’ve never been disappointed. The lunch special is only $ 3.99. If you can deal with a little bit of attitude, I’d highly recommend this place.

I have read the posts and I quietly agree with some of them. Normally the food is amazing but on yesterday my curry chicken was bland. I don’t like heavily seasoned food but my food required salt. It was a water down version of curry chicken which was disappointing.
The customer service was very good. I am normally the customer that looks past poor service because my attitude will have the worst server smiling before I leave. I believe that people sometimes have a moment as we all do so I choose to ignore the negativity.
With that being said, I am perplexed by the mediocre curry chicken. I have ordered it before and it is always good but something went terribly wrong on yesterday.
I will return because the jerk chicken is amazing but I will share with the owner about my curry experience. A second chance is warranted!

Food is delicious I stop by here and pick up food for the family quite frequently. The large portion feeds two people or have leftovers which is a plus. The only negative thing I can say is that they can be extremely slow sometimes which is frustrating when I’m trying to get home from work. But not making excuses for them but if you have ever been to a Caribbean island this is just how they move there, slow paced and no care at all for time. Island time as I call it.
But overall I love this place and recommend it for good food at great prices.

Unfortunately, I have to retract my previous, positive review due to the HORRID customer service I was subject to during my most recent visit. Boston Jerk has hired an inarticulate, incompetent, lackadaisical non-​Jamaican and erroneously posted her at the front counter to perform tasks including but not necessarily limited to; ignoring phoned-​in orders, ignoring questions about the menu, miss-​keying payment transactions at the register, accusing customers of lies, disrespecting senior citizens, instigating conflict between management and customers, and generally lowering the bar of customer service to that of the DMV. Up until now, I was consistently satisfied if not impressed by the authentically Jamaican staff and the dining experience as a whole, but all good things come to an end and we are no doubt witnessing beginning of the end. As Mr. Perkins used to quote to us.“things fall apart… the center cannot hold”. Good thing there’s no shortage of alternatives for Jamaican dining!

I ordered a large curry chicken plate with rice & peas and I know it’s a «jerk» center but the curry chicken was horrible! No flavor, the sauce was poorly made (very watery) like I tasted no curry whatsoever. I asked the cashier to put more curry sauce on my plate hoping it would help but only made it worse. The chicken patty I ordered as well wasn’t all that. I was very displeased with this place and paid way too much for a mediocre meal at best.

The food is delicious. ive had the jerk chicken, curry chicken and stew chicken. The jerk chicken is a little different but what kicks it off is the sauce (spicy). Be prepared for a wait, the lines gets long very fast.

My favorite Caribbean spot. The jerk sauce is the best I have had since I’ve been in Georgia. And my second favorite if curry chicken. Great food. Good prices.

I’ve been to this place several times and I like it. I almost always get their oxtail, because it’s my favourite dish. Going to be honest — not the best oxtail I’ve had, but it’s definitely still good.
Like others have said, there is usually a bit of a wait — although I went in yesterday and got my food pretty much immediately. The portions are large and I’ve not had anything I didn’t like. Also I’ve never experienced bad service here.

I tried the Stew chicken. It’s the best in town. Curry chicken is really good. Expect looooong waiting time. Since the cashier & cook all same. It’s a family business

No oven jerk chicken here. Real smoked on the pit jerk! Jerk sauce should be sold in the bottle is so doggone good. He won’t sell you any either unless you buy some food. He is serious about that recipe! For those that care. he sells both white and dark, though my preference is dark. They have jerk pork too and hubby says curry goat is good.
***WARNING** Put on your island hat when you come, because they are slow but it’s worth the wait IMO.
Planning an outing: Call ahead if you want ½ pans of food for outings. I made the mistake of not calling ahead and he let me know about too (In a very sweet way I must say). Had he not, you know I’d let ya know that too.

I came to this establishment while visiting Georgia from Chicago. I ordered a jerk chicken dinner and my aunt ordered a quarter jerk chicken with a side of white rice. After we ordered we were told the credit card machine is out… so we asked if they could start the order while we went for cash… when we returned, almost 45mins later our order still wasn’t done… jn fact, we had to give the order all over again… since it wasn’t done my aunt asked to change something and the man came out saying please don’t change your order again…
What i received was jerk turkey instead of chx which was luke warm. The food was not bad but far from superb for jerk and between the man and woman who were serving us… I’ve never been treated so unkind in a restaurant! What happened to southern hospitality?! We dined in and my aunt asked for a cup of water… the woman at the counter said sit down and ill call you for it… she never did… after ten mins my aunt went back up to ask again and received a cup of warm tap water… is this a soup kitchen or are we paying customers ’cause I sure can’t tell… no one deserves to be treated like this… I will not be back.

Patties were full with meat and veggies. The escoveitch fish was awesome, a lot of food for the money. I am from Michigan and my husband ordered the oxtail and I ordered the fish. Awesome lots of food for the money and reasonable price. In my 5 day visit I went to this place 4 times that his how awesome the food was and the lady in the back is a awesome host. Great job and great food. Will be back.

Only gave 2 stars because the Rice & Peas was good. But, really, i can’t fine anything else nice to say about this place.
My wife and i were in town from New York, we were told that this is «THE PLACE» for jerk. «THE BEST JERK IN TOWN» they said. «SERVICE IS HORRIBLE» is what they forgot to tell us. Lady had an attitude. We ordered 2 meals that took 30 minutes for them to make, we waited hoping that the food would make up for the slow service… it didn’t!
Some of the worse jerk chicken i’ve ever had, and believe me i’ve had some bad jerk. I’ve had jerk at Applebees. Enough said.
Jerk chicken & pork tasted like sausages, i thought it was just me but the guy at the table across from us heard me saying that and agreed. The oxtail was horrible, just bland. My wife asked «Can you put a little gravy on the rice?» they lady tuned it into rice soup. I ate my rice & peas and left. Never going back.
They’re doing the name «Boston Jerk» a big disservice. The taste is no where close to the Boston Jerk in Jamaica.

I went this Tuesday and the service was not bad, when you have wonderful food sometimes you get a line… ok so what great food people are going to shop there, they are nice and clean, the owners work there very hard and are especially polite to all their customers (no color or creed) .I love it here remind me of the excellent Jerk Chicken in Miami Fla.

Love it! Love the jerk chicken and the jerk pork. Great smoky flavor, great portions, everything is always fresh.

Simply the best jerk I’ve tasted in ATL … PERIOD! If your not sure what real Jamaican jerk taste like, this is it. The plantains were moist and full of flavor. Not to mention the huge oxtails and gravy in my large dinner. They sell fresh made sorrel and Irish moss. Boston Jerk taste as if it was transplanted from Flatbush or Nostrand Ave (Cheffy’s or Apache) in Brooklyn.
Worth every penty $$$

My second visit was to try the jerk chicken. Which was so good I almost cried. Very moist and very tender. The rice & peas on the other hand were a little dry and the plantains weren’t as flavorful. Though I did like the choice of vegetables. The chicken was amazing, by far, the best jerk chicken I’ve ever had. You could taste the smoke and they put the sauce on the side. Very good
