The food at Jamaican Jerk Pit is absolutely delicious, but the lack of wheelchair accessibility is a major issue. As someone with mobility challenges, I couldn't get downstairs to place my order. I had to wait for someone to get the waitress, and it took over 15 minutes for her to come upstairs, all while others were served ahead of me.While the staff was polite, the experience was frustrating and made me feel overlooked. It's unfortunate because the food is great, but the accessibility issues make it difficult for people with mobility challenges to enjoy the restaurant.If you're disabled or have mobility concerns, this place is not ideal. I really hope they consider making improvements to ensure everyone can enjoy their amazing food.

MY RATING SYSTEM5/4 = Exceeds expectations3 = Meets expectations2/1 = Does not meet expectationsI would not dissuade anyone from trying it once. But I would not chose to eat here again.The service was good but the rest needs improvement to get 3 stars so 2 stars the best.1. AMBIANCE = 3You enter from Thayer st. Need to go to lower level to order food. Seatin in upper and lower level. We were before dinner crowd so sat in lower level. Seating is tight in some spots.2. FOOD/DRINKS = 2Had water. They offer beverages from cooler.Food was hot not lukewarm. The meal I had was vegetarian and my wife the shrimp. The veggie meal was so-so. I would not order this one again. The shrimp the same. For what you paid it was over priced.Food is bland. 3. SERVICE = 4We were seated when arrived. Water came to table with menu. Order taken. Food came at the right time. Hot not warm. 4. BATHROOM = 1They need to take you to the back area for one restroom only. You will need to wait. I5.could use a refresh and cleaning.5. PRICING = 1I felt for what we both had it was overpriced.Veggie meal $15.00. should have been $10.00Coconut shrimp $18.00 should have been $13.00

First time trying Jamaican Jerk Pit, and it was a lovely experience. There is seating on the ground floor when you walk in with additional seating downstairs. The waitress welcomed us and provided thorough and very helpful recommendations to make our first visit well worth it. Ordered the curry goat and Jamaican chicken and both were packed with flavor with the meat easily falling off the bones. Mixing in the sauce with the rice was a great idea too. Festivals were strangely addicting. Very simple in appearance and taste but I couldn't stop eating them. Crispy on the outside, soft in the inside. I have had fried plantains with sugar before and it was as expected. I would recommend!

Food was decent, could have been spicier compared to Jamaica. Place is not accessible at all. They should have a buzzer or phone number because you can sit upstairs but ordering is downstairs.

I've been to Ann Arbor in recent months and noticed they had a Caribbean/Jamaican restaurant near one of the parking structures that I frequent when I visit. This type of cuisine is one of my favorites, so I finally found an opportunity to give this place a chance. As soon as I walked in I was surrounded by the color blue on all sides, getting me in the mood. The actual restaurant is located downstairs, which had plenty more tables and chairs thankfully. When I arrived they opened just a few minutes prior and I could tell they were busy placing carryout orders. They told me that if I placed an order it would likely take 20-30 minutes for it to be ready. This is a good thing because it means the food will likely be fresh and more flavorful, but due to personal time constraints I elected to get the one thing that was ready to eat, PATTIES. They offer beef, chicken and vegetarian versions and I couldn't decide on just one, so I got all three to share with others. If I were to judge this restaurant on the beef patty alone, I would say it's one of the best I've ever had. I most certainly will be back to grab a traditional entree like jerk chicken or oxtail, but this was a good first impression and I am excited to come back.

A scrumptious hidden gem in a great location! Menu had so many vegetarian options that all looked incredible- made it hard to choose. Got the Tofu jerk sandwich with medium spice and fried plantains. The best plantains I've ever had!! Basement is small, but wasn't too busy for a table of four on a Friday night.

Hands down thee best Authentic Jamaican Cuisine I've found. Searched high and low and Jamaican Jerk Pit was worth the ride. From the first bite to the last bite. The beans and rice were perfection along with the cabbage....... My taste buds had being longing for a taste of such exceptional cuisine. I drove from Oakland County to Ann Arbor to get more than my tummy satisfied, but my longing for great food.....Ambiance is very West Indies and befitting of the cuisine and homage to a people....P.S. Chef we could use a restaurant of your caliber in the Southfield/Detroit area.......
