I had been waiting a long time to go to the Jerk Joint, and my only regret is not going sooner! This local eatery will quickly become your favorite spot, too, once you experience the amazing options. The "Doobies" are massive jerk chicken and cabbage eggrolls...Read More

The Jerk Joint offers bold Caribbean flavors. The delectable three meat platter was piled high with rice and beans plus, tasty cooked cabbage. Service was quick and friendly. Our food was not quite hot enough, but we'll definitely be back to sample...Read More

I ordered the small jerk chicken bowl. It was super tender and saucy jerk chicken on top of cabbage and beans&rice. The flavor was bold and amazing!! The staff was really nice and helped me decide what to order.

Absolutely righteous food here! It's like nothing you'll find elsewhere in Appleton. The jerk chicken has a great, smokey flavour and their collard greens are some of the best I've ever had--not everyone gets those right. Personally, I thought the sweet ting chicken stole...Read More

Family owned, down to earth, always friendly, food is the REAL DEAL. And their coconut cake is a hot commodity. This place is apart of my annual birthday tradition and it NEVER disappoints. I suggest it to anyone looking to try Jamaican food.
