The Jerk Center In Tarpon Spr

Omg the best oxtail stew, everything was fantastic, great rice!!!! i give it 10 stars!!!

A little disappointed with the lunch meal I ordered. Curry chicken roti did not have any flavor and seemed like the filling was not enough for roti. There were more bones than chicken and the roti skin was also bland. I also ordered a spicy beef patty which didn’t taste fresh, the crust wasn’t flaky. Between those two things I spent $25 which for lunch felt like a little much and it didn’t include any drinks.

I loved the great food as well as the friendly atmosphere and people. The interior of this restaurant is well appointed and tasteful. My son and a friend were the first people to bring me to the Jerk Center. They wanted to surprise me knowing my love for Caribbean cuisine. With my Honduran roots I felt right at home at this amazing restaurant. The food on the menu is authentic and delicious. I enjoyed the Escoveitch Fish with sides of Steamed Cabbage,Sweet Plantain and Corn. My next visit will be very soon. Along with my Escoveitch Fish and Sides, I will also have a dessert perhaps Cheesecake or Pineapple Upside Down Cake, which Hondurans love. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone who loves authentic Caribbean Island food!

I love this place, authentic island comfort food. Not fancy but always friendly

I feel bad giving a local spot a low review but I happily paid $100 for food and none of it was worth it. The rice peas seemed old reheated- they were very dry and the peas crumbled apart. The oxtail was very sweet, maybe it’s someone thing but definitely not what I was expecting. The roti was $5 ea. and the size was good but it was really hard and definitely too much flour. The corn bread tasted like dry vanilla/coconut cake. The patties were ok but I could’ve gotten the same quality some a grocery store. The curry was good once I could reach it through the half inch of oil in the bowl. I never even got my plantain and my guess is that would’ve been the only thing worth the price. The steamed cabbage was definitely my favorite part of the food. Growing up on these foods I feel like maybe they’re catering to a demographic with a more sensitive palate but it wasn’t doing it for me…
