Duckman's Jerk Shack — Restaurant in Freeport

This is a carryout only establishment. The Staff was super friendly and helpful. Every family has the one person who is a terrible cook but doesn't know it Mr. or Mrs. Duckman, who's ever the cook, is that person. I've had the opportunity to have many Jamaican meals from home cooks and professionals all were better than Duckman's. I ordered food for my family; we didn't enjoy anything. I ordered Jerk Chicken dinner with cabbage and red beans and rice (rice and peas) Stewed Chicken with mac and cheese and sweet potatoes. The entrees: The spices didn't marry well. Jerk Chicken someone hasn't learned how to properly use a grill the jerk chicken was reminiscent of bad backyard barbecues with the flappy chicken skin and dry meat. Stew chicken had sauce and was moist, but it wasn't tasty it was spicy but yet lacked flavor. The sides: red beans and rice was actually what Caribbean people call rice and peas (rice usually cooked with a bit of coconut milk and dried beans are added) it didn't taste like any coconut milk was used. The cabbage wasn't bad it didn't have carrots like I've had from every other Jamaican, but no biggie. The mac and cheese was straight out of the box cheese flavor packet used but no milk to mix it topped with cheese that looked melted hours prior. The sweet potatoes were over cooked but tasted ok. I got someone's banana pudding by mistake. I do not like banana pudding at all. I hate bananas and can't stand soggy cookies, so I didn't try it. My teenage son who eats everything tried it and hated it, so he threw it away. I cannot recommend this...

I’m from Chicago and my sister lives in Rockford. She bragged that this place was so good and worth the 40 min drive from her house. So I took the drive with her. The food was terrible!!!! The Mac-N-Cheese tasted bland and worst then a boxed kind. The candied yams are ok. The chicken was smoky but that’s about it. The plantains were hard and not even sweet. They forgot to put 3 of our items we ordered in our bag and of course we didn’t realize it till we got home. She agreed with me that the food was definitely a big miss!!! We waited a whole hour for the food.....the only good thing was the corn. Literally! I’m was upset because I was so...
