Unruly Jamaican Cuisine

I was in town over the weekend to watch a couple of Guardians games, checked into my hotel, raised the blinds to my room, saw the storefront sign for Unruly Jamaican Cuisine across the street, and my interest was piqued. This unassuming spot is positioned mostly for takeout, with few seats for those who choose to dine in, and offers a limited menu. Offers are made at the counter through a takeout window.I often gauge Caribbean or Jamaican restaurants by how well they prepare their oxtail stews. Unruly's stew had a little more heat than I anticipated ( guessing their recipe actually uses scotchbonnets vs. jalapenos), and it was delicious. The server even added in extra jus into my order ... As if she knew my heart. The portion was generous and reasonably priced. There also were bottles of fun, Jamaican sodas available for purchase. Overall, a good restaurant to satiate cravings. If this place were in Chicago, I'd frequent it often.

Across the street from my hotel. Small simple place. Looks manly an order to go place. appeared very clean. Small menu. Tried the Jerk chicken & rice & steamed vegetables & rice. The chicken fell off the bone, the rice was cooked just right but it was too spicy for me. Maybe because she put extra gravy on everything for us. The lady was extremely friendly.

Well now. After passing by several times, I decided to say was the day to give this place a try. Here's what I like: Miss A is very personable. The location is a throwback of all the great "hole-in the-wall" spots but it's clean and bright!The food: First of all, I'm a foodie. This means I really enjoy every aspect of food. Presentation, taste, ambiance, music. Everything! During the pandemic, with dine-in options reduced significantly, we're all left wondering what food will taste like and if it loses any of its quality or flavor due to the delayed ability to enjoy it immediately. Well, this is not the case with this place. The jerk is spicy, flavorful and absolutely delicious. Be warned, food quantities are limited. So you'll need to get your order sooner than later. Interesting to know: this restaurant used to be located in the Buckeye neighborhood and recently relocated. I not only plan to attend but also recommend trying it for you

So good, and authentically spicy, jerk chicken. Accompanying rice and veggies were excellent. An easy stop on the way home from work--I will be back weekly!The only criticism is the chicken was more braised than grilled, but given the incredible flavor all is forgiven!Please note the prices have changed--$20 for jerk chicken, $30 for goat curry, and $40 for fish. Given the flavor and the large portions, the $20 for the chicken was well worth it. I'll get the goat next time. Don't know about $40 for the fish though--maybe if the goat is also excellent!

Delicious. No frills. No fuss. What a sweet lady running this place! Just what we needed on a cold afternoon. We got beef patties (empanadas) and beef curry with cabbage and rice. Chicken was delicious - falling off the bone. Really liked the rice as well.

I ordered the Jamaican jerk chicken and it was so good. The rice was perfect and the vegetables were good as well. The lady that helped me was very kind and friendly five stars in my book.

Delicious food (we had Jerk Chicken and Curry Chicken! Appears that it is mostly a carry-out place, but there are a few tables to eat inside.

This place is a hidden gem!!! Miss A is a wonderful soul. The food is excellent!!!! The food is so fresh and made for you on the spot.

I love this place. The food is great with ample servings. Seasoning is just as spicy as it should be. The owner is so sweet and always gives me extra sauce on my rice and peas.

OMG ...my husband and I came in the last 15 minutes before closing time. The Beutiful and gracious woman served us as if we were the first customers of the day with a smile. The beef patty I order was amazing the crust just melted in my mouth..Yum My hus and I had the stewed chicken dinner which was delish...you could literally feed 2 people off one dinner, generous portions. This was our first experience at this restaurant and sis we pray you all the blessing and may your cup run over with overflow in all areas of your life. GOD BLESS!!!
