“ Jamaican food truck, super nice, super delicious! ”
“ Jerk chicken and ox tail meals. Both very good. Ox tail was tender with alot of flavor. Rice and beans were fluffy and well seasoned with the gravy. Jerk chicken was good too, the flavor didn't penetrate all through the chicken like other places but the flavor was there for every bite. It is a good truck with only a couple tables but it was busy when we arrived. People mainly ordered to go. ”
“ The portions were huge! The chicken was very tender and the pork was amazing! So well seasoned! It really hit the spot. ”
“ Awesome food, fast service and great portion. As much time as I spend on the road for work. This is perfect comfort food, served hot and is tasty! I am coming back every time i come through TPA. ”
“ I got food from here through the Too Good to Go app (which allows restaurants to sell leftovers or extra food at the end of the day for discounted prices), and boy was I surprised by the heft of the box, the fact that it was warm and tasted still fresh even at the end of the day. I got a box filled to the brim with jerk chicken and delicious sweet plantain plus a small box of mac and cheese for only 6! I’m only in Tampa for a few days, but I’ve already scrapped all plans to visit anywhere else, and plan to come back to this place. ”
“ Food was hot and fresh, portions were generous. I thought it was a restaurant but it’s a food truck in the corner. Some items weren’t available at the time so it’s best to check before going. This was my first time trying this takeout spot and will come back again. Gentleman who was the only worker was very nice. Prices weren’t bad for the amount of food you get. ”
“ Ordered of Uber Eats . Glad I did! Food was hot. Got dark meat Jerk Chicken with beans and rice, macaroni and cheese, and cabbage. Everything was fantastic. I just wish the chicken was spicier, but I like excessive spice. I'm in town for two more days and I will probably order again. Thank you so much Jerk Hut. You are a Hidden Gem in Tampa! ”
“ Food was fresh, piping hot and service was good. I didn't know they were downtown and glad I found the truck in the corner of the parking lot. Check both sides of the lot, I initially didn't see them from the other side of the lot. ”
