Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Fantastic food! Prices were pretty good compared to the rest of the hip strip area. Seemed like a fair amount of locals ate here too. Place doesn't look like much if you're walking past, but don't let the fool you - the food is great...and you can even watch it being cooked!More

Without a doubt, this is literally the best food I have ever tasted!!! We had the pork and chicken, with some of their jerk sauce and rice and peas - all washed down with Royal Jamaican Ginger Beer. Totally laid back, and exactly what he...had hoped it would be.More

This place also offers chicken and shrimp, but for god’s sakes people… it’s right in the name of the restaurant! The shrimp is actually quite good, but it’s spicy and there’s no indication of that until you eat it. My wife, who ordered it, was...absolutely dying. It was hot for me, and I love spicy food. The pork is absolutely killer here. Flavourful but not hot. I got it with a side of roti. The chicken looked pretty good too, but we didn’t try it.More

Food was amazing. Sampled a lot of things, pork, chicken, shrimp, festival, roti and bammy! I recommend it all but the pork and chicken were def better than the seafood, which makes sense given the name. It’s a must try if in Montego Bay and...also priced really well.More

The service was so so and sort of distracted. They did use a phony exchange rate of $108 Ja to $1 US. Since it was for just a beer and water it wasn’t much but watch them. I was struck by the lack of seriousness...as a business. We came on a day when 2 cruise ships were docked only to be told that at 1pm the pork “was late” in getting started and wasn’t available. That is no way to run a business.More

Always ask what the exchange rate is if using USD! If you love shrimp order 20 count! We ate there three times during our ten days.

Name sake "pork" was dry. The open pit is nice but be prepared to smell smokey for a while. The portions are small and the food may be a bit overpriced. But.. wait. The chicken was delicious.. as were the plantain. Probably could find equally...good at many other Jamaican restaurants at a more affordable price. I would say hit or miss on this one.More

Really fun atmosphere and down to earth cooking right on top of logs over an open flame. Delicious food and fair prices. A must try in Montego Bay.

Not the nicest staff the man on the jerk grill was nice. They were out of pretty much everything when we went. The jerk chicken lacked flavor which is very disappointing. The festivals were good and the fries were hot. The jerk chicken came off...the grill and wasn’t even warm. I’d try it again when they have ribs and rice and peas.More

Went for a late lunch, twice. Hoped second time would be better. Service was shockingly poor, felt that us being there was a hassle for them. Portions small and expensive (ribs in photo attached cost $JAM 1630). Don’t waste your time, go else where.

Actually the restaurant and the inn share the same plot, but who would want to stay there and smell food all day?
