The Jerk Pit - College Park

I ordered a medium oxtail with sides of rice/peas and cabbage. Of note the cabbage has green peas which I wasn't expecting. This was my first time seeing these in this style cabbage. I just picked around them. The rice has an all spice or clove taste. Also not what I was expecting but still good. The oxtail for a medium size was generous. Price was reasonable. They give you a pager to notify when order is ready. Small area to dine in if you chose to. They also sell a limited assortment of tropical ice cream. I purchased the soursop flavor. It's very creamy. Slight whipped texture to it.

This was my first time visiting The Jerk Pit and all I can say is wow…everything was fantastic. The staff was friendly, the vibes were great and the food was AMAZING. I ordered the jerk wings and ox tails. Whatever they put in that jerk sauce is magical. Special thanks to the owner Ms. Nash, she was wonderful. If you’re in the college park area and are looking for authentic Jamaican cuisine I highly recommend The Jerk Pit.

Excellent service. I received my food in a timely fashion. No more than about 7 minutes. Food was hot and fresh. I think most Jamaican restaurants don't put a lot of peas in the rice and peas dish. I prefer more peas than rice. That is my only issue. The curry shrimp were plump and juicy they gave me more than eight. Very delicious. The plantains were good just like I like them. The sweet potato cake was flavorful and moist.

I'm so glad I didn't listen to some of the negative reviews on this restaurant this place was absolutely fantastic first of all I walked in and I thought it was my great great Jamaican grandma in the kitchen cooking the place smells so good the curry goat plantings macaroni and cheese was fantastic music in the background helped also.. I ordered $35 worth of food still have some leftover for dinner.. Trust and Believe I'll be back there eating real soon!!!

This place has me hooked on their jerk chicken that's actually marinated for some days, then broiled on an outside grill . My other favorite is their jerk salmon to die for. Nice little cozy spot in the cut off the main road. If you don't pay attention you could miss your turn
