King Jerk Miami — Restaurant in Florida

If you’re ever in Miami and craving authentic Jamaican food, King Jerk is an absolute must-visit! Every time we come to Miami, this is one of our go-to spots — and for good reason. We’ve been here multiple times and the quality, flavor, and hospitality never disappoint.

We ordered the oxtail with rice and beans, with cabbage on the side, and it was nothing short of amazing. The oxtail was fall-off-the-bone tender, rich in flavor, and seasoned to perfection. The gravy soaked beautifully into the rice and beans, making every bite packed with deliciousness. The cabbage was fresh and well-cooked, with just the right amount of crunch and seasoning to balance out the meal.

What really stands out about King Jerk is the consistency. Each visit, the food tastes just as incredible as the last — something that’s rare to find these days. The portions are generous, the service is friendly, and the vibe is chill and welcoming. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, you’ll feel right at home.

If you love Caribbean food or simply want to try something flavorful and satisfying, don’t miss out on this gem. King Jerk is a place we’ll keep coming back to — every single time...

This place has certainly changed over the years and the customer service I received tonight was subpar. It pains me to leave this review because I used to enjoy this place and just referred this place someone about a week ago.

I used to come here and get a nice seized platter of meat. Just meat. Now it seems everything is a dinner. You have to get the two sides and if you don't it's still the same price. And I know they still do it for some because my friend guy comes here often and get the platter of meat. However when I asked, "We don't do that."

I asked for my sauce to be on the side. "We don't have any containers." Things happen. I get it. You run out of stuff. I used to work in a similar establishment. However, the delivery. It's as if he wanted nothing more than to just be left alone. The young lady that's usually in the front must've left to go somewhere so he was in charge of taking orders and fixing plates.

I got the ribs and chicken dinner. Tonight the meat was not seasoned like it typically is. It tasted like grilled meat and nothing more. Not what I was expecting. I hope that tonight it was just an off night and this isn't business...

The Quick (a few words): King Jerk Food Truck is delicious, Jamaican/Caribbean-inspired, and located in North Miami. I ordered the Rib Lunch (Ribs, Cabbage, Red Beans, and Rice) and the Curry Chicken (Yellow Curry/Curry Chicken with Red Beans and Cabbage). The portions were great, and I will definitely be back.

The Dirty (a bunch of words): Look. This is food is better than good. The ribs were tender and juicy, but not soft. The sauces are perfect pairings and fully seasoned. Nothing watered down about King Jerk Food Truck at all. Their flavors are delicious. The plates are as beautiful as their service and accents. I was immediately happy I chose to eat here because of how I was greeted. I’d tried to make it here twice before and arrived just in time to see them putting away the clean dishes around 9:40pm both times. My mouth had watered ever since. When I finally got them ribs y’all. I couldn’t help but sing Montell Jordan, “This is how we do it.” I smacked my lips and laughed out loud. I'd needed this so bad. 🤤. I didn’t even tell my landlord about his plate. I ate the chicken too. 😂🤦‍♀️. And mannnnnn. You have to eat here....
