Dat Jerk Lansdowne

I enjoyed my experience. This was my first time trying Dat Jerk. Inside was clean and orderly. The workers were polite and addressed everything. The food was different but tasty. I would like to try more of their menu. The lot at this location was pretty small but I think it's a good location regardless.

Food was delicious. We got the jerk chicken, rice and Mac n cheese. This was my first time here. Of course it has a kick to it but it was delicious.For a bowl, 2 Jamaican beef Patties and a piece of rum cake I paid a little over 30 dollars. Definitely enough food to feed 2. We shared our food and I'm still full Picture was after he took half the food and as you see it's still a good amount

I've had some Jamaican cuisine but certainly not enough. I found this Maryland chain on Yelp and decided to give it a try! They were pretty busy but the service was excellent! I got the jerk chicken, rice and peas and veggie mix. The meal was fantastic. Flavors are rich and delicious. The chicken was so moist and rice well seasoned. I liked the soda choices to cream soda, pineapple and most all in the fountain. The restaurant was clean however the ice machine was empty, hard to get utensils, and napkins. Also no water, which is really disappointing. I definitely want to return to try the curry!

I wanted to check dat place out for a year now. My wife had said she did buy some jerk chicken when the restaurant opened. She did not have any because my son ate it all and did not leave her some. My son is very picky does not eat anybodies jerk but said it was good so I have to try it out.I stop by during lunch hour and it was not busy. When I was in the parking lot I did hear Island music coming from the restaurant I was thinking, I may be in business. The place I found was big and functional. I noted the environment that jumped out the carribean. I looked at the overhead menu board that was straight forward and explained the pricing structure from a meal to just a la carte. I decided on the Curry Chicken bowl with rice and peas. Also a side salad and a glass of water. Ordering was fast and the food prep was quick. They have a cafeteria style service so you don't have to wait long to get your service and your food. Once you get your food you have the option of takeaway or dine in restaurant. I chose to dine in since I was not in a hurry. The curry chicken was very good. Warm and very delicious. Full of flavor and the only criticism was that I felt it had a pinch more salt but it may be me because i don't add a lot of salt to my food but I did find it a little more salty than in other restaurants where I have ordered the same dish. The peas and rice were also very good and the salad I chose an island ranch dressing that was slightly spicy with a little heat but was very good. I would get that dressing again. I think it was home made. The meal was very delicious and I enjoyed the vibes with the Island music. I did find the location very clean as well as the bathrooms, a plus.All in all, I have mixed emotions. Because my favorite Jamaican restaurant is located 45 minutes south on this same road while I can drive only 10 minutes here and get my curry on and be assured to get a good level of quality meal here is also a plus to me, I might not have to drive the distance again. Still a plus for me again. I recommended this restaurant and will return again. Cheers!PS, they are applying for a liquor license. Here comes my beef patty and a Red Stripe! Ha Ha!

It's fast Caribbean food which means my expectations weren't high. I was more intrigued about how this would work. I arrived when they opened so parking at the door was a breeze. It was also really clean and while I know places should be clean, it still stood out. I was greeted quickly and helped shortly after. I got the jerk chicken which came with rice & peas and cabbage. I appreciated being asked if I wanted gravy. Everything inside was efficient and respectful. The food, however; was just ok. The chicken was cooked well but didn't have the true jerk flavor and I was expecting a little more. The sides were also just ok. Figured I'd give it a try because of my love of Jamaican food but probably wouldn't choose it over authentic food again. Looked better than it tasted. Nothing terrible just also nothing great.

I've been waiting for this place to open and I'm glad they did. Since I stopped eating meat my straight go to was the salmon. The woman upfront was very helpful and patient. The place was very clean and the music was on theme. The salmon was so flavorful and not over cooked. I loved the sweet and jerk contrast. The cabbage was cooked nicely and the sauce from the salmon tasted well with it too. The plantain was a little overcooked. Some of them were a little dry which was disappointing. Overall, I'd go here again and see what else I can try.

We were on a road trip and decided to stop here before we hit 95. It was early afternoon, not crowded whatsoever. The space was clean and tidy, playlist on point. The restroom was also clean, just about spotless! We were greeted almost immediately upon walking in and were able to quickly get our order in. The options are plenty and all seem desirable. We both opted for the oxtail, rice & peas, and cabbage entree. We also got the coco bread, pineapple soda, and a side of Mac.The Mac, rice & peas, and coco bread were the stars of our meal whereas the oxtail and cabbage fell a little short. The coco bread was just so nostalgic from my college days and every bite was so delicious. The rice & peas were also tasty, well cooked and perfectly seasoned. The Mac & cheese was goey and creamy HOWEVER... there was PLASTIC in my dish which completely was a bummer and one of the reasons I had to take away a star. When I notified the young lady she apologized and took the plastic-- and didn't give me any further recourse at first. So I just went back and grabbed my entire Mac and came back to the counter to give her the whole thing and that's when she offered to replace the side. I was torn about wanting to get more Mac and did, but now that I think about it I should've opted for something else since arguably that entire pan was/is tainted. The oxtails and its gravy and cabbage did not have that punch of flavor and was borderline bland BUT they were still palatable-- just underwhelming seasoned if you will. The oxtail weren't incredibly tinder fall off the bone but they absolutely weren't tough either and I was still pleased (he had had better). The cabbage had corn in it which was a pleasant surprise and a first for me.All in all, I would give this place another go. I'm a curry girl so would wanna try that and their brown stew chicken.

Not bad, not bad at all. I guess the model is based on chipotle bowl style. I got the jerk pork, rice and peas w/ plantain and a beef patty. The beef patty was outstanding, hot and delicious.. The jerk pork was solid, not a lot of pork at all and the price point for almost $19, yeah that was pricey . I will definitely check in again and try other items.

Today going in I had amazing customer service by Keke she even helped make my order perfect with her recommendations. The food was so good and flaverful that I went back again for the second time today.
