Sadly, this turned from a bustling Caribbean pub & restaurant into a sterile looking fast food outlet with the ambience of a butchery. I walked miles to get there on a Tuesday, just to learn they only have Chicken Wings on Tuesdays - this should be clearly stated on the website. The Chicken Wings were actually very tasty, but not what I came here for. In 2022 this was my absolute favorite in Seattle, my 2024 re-visit was a huge disappointment.

Everything has great flavors amazing taste to the meats. The rice and beans is dryer than sandpaper, the shredded cabbage is about the same dryness. I got the jerk ribs plate. Unfortunate for really amazing meats. Service was quick, not a lot of seating. I originally saw this place on IG and wanted to try the Ox Tail. The portions looked amazing, with the ribs you get 3 ribs, it’s barely a taste.

The rice and pea was sweet for some reason. And the chicken was good but it's not jerk chicken. Idk what to call it.

Tried this place twice now. Haven’t been impressed. There’s way too much season on the ribs I got. I will say that the bone in jerk chicken is very good. But the sides aren’t great. The rice is extremely bland. The slaw is bitter. The plantains are very good as well. Idk just not the best overall value when you consider the price. I’ll still come back and try the burrito or something else and give it one more shot. And idk how I feel about having to yell back and forth with the cashier over the massive speaker blasting music.

Wow just amazing. I ordered the Jerk Chicken plate off of Uber eats and it was so good it came with plantains, rice, coleslaw, special sauces. You can tell the people at this restaurant really care about the food they’re making it tasted so perfect.

Jerk Shack is not to be missed if you’re in the CD! Chef Trey himself was the first person we were greeted by when we walked in. It was a freezing day here in WA and we were offered hot tea while we waited for our food. I’m pescatarian and tend to veer away from any establishments that are generally “meat heavy”, however, after meeting Chef Trey at an event we wanted to give it a try. I was not disappointed!! I had the mushroom jerk sandwich, it was incredible. The mushrooms, spices, slaw, and bread were on point. The menu has a decent amount of intentional offerings, the drink selection is great and in the warmer months you can sit outside in the courtyard area. I’m thrilled to have stumbled upon this small black owned business, can’t wait to go back!
Love JS! I get the chicken plate (grilled) and it’s always delicious. Worth the price considering the spice and amount of chicken. Nicest folks too. Thank you!

Flavors that hit with service that is top notch. I highly recommend coming through, getting some jerk chicken, and getting a black stripe. Why are you still reading? Come through.

Amazing food, I've been coming to Jerk shack for about two years now. You can't find much like it in the city. The flavor is amazing. I get the frybake jerk chicken sandwich and the slaw on the sandwich pairs perfectly with it. Change in bread I did like the old bread better but this is such an amazing place. staff is kind. Love chef trey
