Jamaican Jerk Hut - Jefferson City

What a pleasant little surprise in the middle of the capital. Yes, this little gem is tucked in the side of a building. No, not rear, not front, but side. The place has “Jerk” written on the sign; therefore, why would I not get the Jerk Chicken, with rice and beans. The place was deader than my Grand Pa’s brother’s best friend’s kid sister’s ex-boyfriend’s father’s 2nd cousin Louie. Hardly any signs of life. While this often scares me, as places are dead for a reason; usually, it is due to the service being awful, or the food is garbage. However, due to my current lust of Jamaican Food, and this place being 4 blocks from the hotel, I thought I would give it a whirl. This was good. As I stated earlier, I had Jerk Chicken. They give you a very good portion size and enough jerk sauce to cover it all. The chicken itself was either boiled, or slow cooked, I am not for sure which it was, but it had a little of that dead taste (just blah) when you slow cook food like that and don’t add anything to it; however, it was still moist, and not dry. Now the sauce about sent me to the moon. It was semi-sweet, with a lot of tang, and some spice. I think their secret ingredient in the sauce was voodoo. The sauce!!! The sauce!!! Dear Cthulu Almighty… The Sauce!!! As I said earlier, they provide plenty of sauce. The sauce made of for the little bit of drab the chicken had, as it was that damn good. I had rice and beans for the side. I think this is where the magic begins. See, they basically thew into a to-go container, and shook it all up. They take the to-go container, place the chicken in it, then they add the rice and beans, and finish it off by dumping all that delicious sauce all over the chicken. Then they close the lid, say a voodoo blessing and shake it all up. Then they give you the go container and say, “Enjoy.” I absolutely loved the rice and beans. They give you a lot of it, and I ate it all. I enjoyed the rice and beans more than the chicken since it had some of that jerk sauce on it. Service here is non-existent. Maybe, there was a miss communication with me and the lady taking my order, but I was given a takeout box, and I went and sat at a table to eat my meal. I am going to guess that this place has more take out than dine in, which is sad, their dining area is brightly colored and festive. Clean too… Nice little dining area. Fellas, here is a negative. Give people more than one napkin. Your food is good; however, it is messier than a one-year-old doing a cake smash. I had to steal a few paper towels from the lady who was cleaning in the front of the house and whipping down the countertop when she wasn’t looking. If I am ever in Jeff City again, I will defiantly eat here again. The food was that good, and I want to try a few other things out on their old menu. Warning They only stay open until 8:00 pm. Therefore, do not wait to late into the evening to go there.

There's shrimp curry is to die for! Look out super spicy but I give it five stars!Parking: There's more businesses attached to the Jamaican jerk building so the parking can be super crowded and difficult to find a spot...Kid-friendliness: DefinitelyWheelchair accessibility: No problem with that
