Angry Jerk Jamaican Cuisine is a must-visit for authentic Jamaican food in DC The vibrant decor and reggae music create a welcoming atmosphere. The service is friendly, and we started with The jerk chicken was perfectly grilled and the jerk mombo sauce was great. Never had curry tacos but trust me it was amazing!! The line apple ginger juice was also amazing. Overall, Angry Jerk delivers a fantastic taste of Jamaica

I kept hearing about this place so I figured I'd give it a try...... no regrets. I ordered the jerk chicken bowl, beef patty and lomein. THE FLAVOR is so good. Just the right amount of spice an seasoning. The beef patty was flaky and the beef was seasoned to perfection. The lomein was good too. Great customer service, great amount of food for price and over a yummy experience. Only thing missing and I'm kinda bummed I didn't get to try was the sauce that comes on top. Other than that 10/10

Food was amazing! Had the oxtails with pigeon peas and rice. And the sweet potatoes were super yum. I immediately went to see if they were on food delivery apps bc this is about to be a regular for me. lol rated atmosphere a 3 only bc there isn't a lot of seating and it's kinda bland decoratively. But who really cares about that when the food is amazing. Also, the service was good. Wish I'd gotten her name, but she was very patient and helpful as we figured out what we wanted.

Ordered off grub hub and got the two for one special which is an amazing deal when you account for their prices. The food is superb, flavorful, ok portions for a bowl, and a bit of spice from the Angry jerk sauce. Just wish the rice was a lil softer. The Mac and cheese must of been from the bottom it wasn’t that cheesy, but still taste fine. Maybe it was a busy night for them since I had a pickup order. Overall, I definitely recommend eating here.

Great fast casual Caribbean spot with all the fixings. I've stopped in Angry Jerk many times for a quick meal and never been disappointed. The bowls are large enough for two meals (I usually eat the second half for lunch the next day). They also have a wide assortment of traditional Caribbean sodas and a few tasty desserts. Their staff works hard to provide a great product. I plan to continue frequenting Angry Jerk.
