I visited this restaurant THREE times within a week. My first time was last Saturday, 2nd Wednesday and was back that Friday. Shame, but when it's good I run it back. The first 2 times I got the stew chicken (comes with rice&peas) I chose cabbage and Mac&cheese for my sides. Stew chicken is delicious, has a little bit of a spice kick, but not too crazy. On the latest visit, I ordered the jerk steak&cheese. The steak&cheese was tasty, but I couldn't really taste anything jerk about it. I would definitely order again, but I would ask for a side of whatever jerk sauce they use.I've wanted to try the jerk chicken eggrolls, but they didn't have any on any of the days I visited New to the RDU area, so glad to have found this restaurant. Definitely going on my list for go-to GOODTTT BigBackPlates

Overall, our experience at this place was extremely disappointing. Despite the hype surrounding it, our online order was a complete mess - the website was poorly designed and we ended up ordering items that were out of stock. The line is also absolutely ridiculous!!! Not only that, but the estimated wait time was inaccurate and we ended up waiting over 2 hours for our food to arrive with no text message to let us know the food was ready. By the time it did, it was barely warm and not worth the long wait or the price. The oxtails had a strange taste and the gravy was not prepared properly. Even the rice was basic and lacked flavor. The cabbage was flavorful, but it was not enough to satisfy our hunger. The Philly cheesesteak egg rolls, on the other hand, were a pleasant surprise. However, it was disappointing to have to order them because the restaurant was out of the jerk egg rolls that we originally wanted. The wings, which were supposed to be honey jerk, did not taste like jerk wings at all so my fiancé was left wondering "where's the jerk?". To make matters worse, the lack of utensils and napkins in the takeout bag was the final straw. Overall, we were left feeling unsatisfied after paying a significant amount of money for our meal.

This restaurant is very popular so arrive before they open and expect there to be a line. Sadly, they didn't open on time when I visited and they have few seats available inside for dine in. Food is delicious, I definitely recommend the rolls.

First time here and I already want to come back!!The food was so damn yummy!! I knew the second I got there and the line was to the door that the food would be worth the wait and it was. The employees were super friendly and attentive they checked every single order before giving us our food.

Good food and portions. Get here early or get ready to get in line. The customers don't play about this place! They lined up and the line moves but more kept coming. There is also limited seating, almost picnic table style. Now onto the food. It was good. Not the best ever but no complaints. The house drink were phenomenal! Super duper sweet lemonade and other punches (yes I had more than one). So delicious.

Came here one random weekday for lunch. The line I saw as we entered was definitely a good sign. Unfortunately they ran out the Jerk chicken so we settled for the curry and stewed chicken lunch special. Totally forgot to order the patty though. There was a sign explaining why there might be a longer wait and were determined. The flavors of the curry sauce were flavorful and packed a small kick. Chicken pieces were plentiful. The rice and peas were well done and plantains were fried just right and created charred bits around the edges. The stew chicken was good, but flavors were less pronounced. Portions were generous and I love that. Would definitely come back for the Jerk and patties. Coming from Church St. in BK, I'm glad to have found this spot. I saw chopped cheese on the menu too, hmmmmmmm lol

Shout out to wheres the jerk In Durham on South Miami Boulevard for having the best Jamaican Food I've had since leaving NYC! I've been searching for an authentic Jamaican restaurant in NC with the classic mom & pops feel of the ones from The Bronx but have come up short everytime. Finally, I've found one that gives me that nostalgic feel of being back home!If you're looking for great service, authentic, diverse and flavorful Jamaican food boasting in the traditional seasonings and spices of this Caribbean cuisine that will feed your soul, head over asap and give them a try!My personal favorite is the Oxtail Dinner with Mac & Cheese, Candied Yams & Sweet Plantains!!!...Don't forget the extra oxtail gravy

Portions were good. Food was ok. Onion rings tasted like they were cooked in old grease. The cheese steak sandwich was huge, but it tasted mediocre at best. The place is a "hole in the wall" and they need to get more staff to serve the number of patrons they have. It reminded me of a food truck, but in a building. I haven't tasted the jerk, but I'd be surprised if it was any better than the cheese steak. They didn't even have cabbage--a staple at every jerk restaurant I have been to.

Not my first time here... never disappointed... the service was fast and the people that work there were all very friendly! The restaurant was clean but the music was too loud. I ordered, for the first time, jerk shrimp hibachi... omg! DELICIOUS!!! The young lady said that it no longer came with whatever the sauce was but it didn't need anything extra. My only complaint would be the zucchini was too big... I prefer smaller pieces... I give it a 9 out of 10... only because of the size of the zucchini.
