Just moved in the area,and was looking for a spot to enjoy my birthday lunch! I found it with PT Just Jerk chicken! The place was clean … the staff was welcoming . Mrs . Patricia and the staff sang me Happy Birthday and welcomed me with open arms and great food to fill my belly! The flavors were well balanced. I will definitely be going back for more really soon. They have excellent portion sizes. If you don’t have Prior knowledge of a dish they are more than welcome to let you try a taste which made the experience that more enjoyable!- mrs.B

I was recommended to come check this place out and I have to say upon walking in the workers were very helpful and they greeted myself and my son and I told them it was my first time visiting and they kindly helped us to make sure we were aware of what was on the menu and very patient with us as well. We ordered our food and took it home to eat family style so we can try everything together and the food did not disappoint. The Rasta pasta with the shrimp was excellent and flavorful. The jerk chicken and rice with peas and plantains was delicious and I loved it at the first bite. We will definitely make sure to visit this restaurant again and I will make sure to recommend this restaurant to others.

Honestly speaking I think my food was warmed up.. it’s does not take 5-7 to make a mini platter. AND IM THE ONLY PERSON IN THERE… won’t be coming back. Never have I cooked beans and rice and inside the red beans is white and dry and room temperature… then look at you wrong when you complain

A delightful taste of the Caribbean right here in New Jersey! PT Just Jerk is nothing short of a culinary gem, offering an authentic and delectable Caribbean dining experience that left me thoroughly impressed from start to finish.

From the moment I walked through the doors, I was greeted with warm smiles and a welcoming atmosphere that set the tone for the fantastic meal ahead. The vibrant decor truly captures the essence of the Caribbean, making it feel like a mini vacation.

Now, let's talk about the food – absolutely divine! Their dishes are a harmonious blend of rich flavors and aromatic spices, perfectly executed in every bite. I indulged in their signature jerk chicken, which was cooked to perfection, juicy and bursting with a tantalizing blend of spices that packed just the right amount of heat. Additionally, their sides, from the fluffy rice and peas to the sweet plantains, complemented the main dishes beautifully, showcasing the depth and authenticity of Caribbean cuisine.

The attention to detail and passion for quality is evident in every dish, and it's clear the chefs pour their love for Caribbean cooking into all they prepare. The service was equally impressive, with attentive and knowledgeable staff who were eager to offer recommendations and ensure a memorable visit.

Whether you're a local or just passing through New Jersey, making a stop at PT Just Jerk is a must. They have truly mastered the art of bringing the vibrant flavors of the Caribbean to life, creating an unforgettable gastronomic experience. I can't wait to visit again and explore more of their incredible menu offerings!

🌟 Highly recommended

I love this restaurant, from the very first time I came here Ms.P and the other staff here are so welcoming. The hospitality is amazing and they are so accommodating and authentic. I come all the way from Paterson, 20 minutes away just for their food. The oxtails are amazing, the jerk chicken is so good they even added extra sauce. My food is always fresh, great portions and sooooo good. I love them and their food❤️. Their natural drinks are the best, I always get one with my meal it completes all my cravings. I would highly recommend this restaurant it’s a hidden gem😍.

I like these folks, and I like their food.

They're a 10-15 minute ride away from my digs further up in Essex County, so if I am willing to drive either of my gas guzzlers onto the parkway to get some of their food; when I could just get Jamaican food in my own town, they can't be too bad. Right...?

Give 'em a try. What have you got to lose...?

Today, I accidentally stumbled upon this place and was pleasantly surprised. This small restaurant, with its rustic Jamaican vibe and amazing cuisine, completely blew me away. I walked in unsure of what to order, but the friendly owners invited me to sample everything they had. It was absolutely delicious!

They fed me so well that I ended up taking more food to go. Now I know about this amazing spot!

The place itself is modest but very clean and cozy. Jamaican cuisine is something else—a true explosion of flavors and perfectly cooked meat. You *must* try it. Absolutely outstanding!
