Uncle Joe’s Jerk Grilled Chicken

Uncle Joe’s Jerk Chicken, 1461 E. Hyde Park Blvd., has some of the best jerk chicken in the city. The popular restaurant’s orders fill up quickly with a long wait and line. However, the wait should not turn diners away. Although they’re known for jerk chicken, the menu has options for different meats, seafood and vegetables. They also have various sides, including but not limited to mac and cheese, rice and peas, and yams.

Their staff was very helpful and kind. The chicken was delicious, but there was a wait of approximately 45 minutes for the food, however you can call ahead to order your food.

The meat is very tender, juicy and flavorful. The chicken is  not particularly spicy but had a sauce that came with it that brought more of a kick. This restaurant is definitely worth a second look. The mac and cheese paired well as a good side with the chicken. The food comes fresh and looks appealing.. A jerk chicken dinner plate, which costs $14, comes with half a chicken and multiple sides. 

There was a long line of people waiting in the restaurant. The energy in the restaurant was low as the restaurant was not set up for people to sit down to eat. They only offer takeout, and don’t have any seating.

Uncle Joe’s Jerk Chicken is the perfect spot to get delicious jerk chicken, but you must call your order in early because it is a long wait but well worth it.
