The jerk chicken is the star of the menu. It’s lightly seasoned but very flavorful chicken cooked over an open wood fire. The meat is juicy and tender. Highly recommended.
Other favorites include oxtail stew, curry goat, and fried plantains. The sides are hearty and traditional like rice and peas, festival (fried dough) and cabbage.
The dining room has a laidback vibe with bright-colored walls, wooden tables and reggae music playing. Seating is limited so expect a potential wait during busy times.
Service is friendly but can be slow when they get busy. Best to go with a group so you can share several dishes family style.
Prices are very reasonable, mostly under $15 for entrees. Definitely a budget-friendly option for authentic Caribbean cuisine.
Overall, Jerk Shack Kitchen delivers authentic and flavorful Jamaican cooking in a casual neighborhood spot. It’s a great place to warm up with some spicy jerk chicken on a rainy Seattle night. Highly recommended for fans of Caribbean food.
