Marie's Jamaican Restaurant — Restaurant in Plainfield

We went on for the Jerked Chicken. It's great if you like stewed chicken with jerk sauce thrown on top. Then that's the place for you to go. For us we like our Jerked Chicken grilled with the seasoning grilled into the chicken after marinated 2, 3, 4 days, whatever. That is stewed Chicken fighting (red sauce) the jerk sauce because I bit into a piece of the chicken and it didn't have any jerk flavor on it.

4.7 stars seem kinda low. First time visitor. I walked in while Marie was still cooking and as soon as the door opened and I smelled the spices I knew I was home. I had the curry chicken.

Her pleasant personality was probably even better than the food, but only slightly. 😉 It was a pleasure finding this gem and I'll definitely be back. Next time I'll try to show the actual food but no promises, you'll have to stop by and see...
