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.

You won't be disappointed with the jerk chicken here, and there is plenty of sauce at the table if you want to spice it up even more. The location is prime, just across the street from a number of smaller, boutique hotels where many of you will be staying. Service is good, but the place gets busy at dinner time - good for them, maybe a little less so for you. For a 1/2 chicken the prices are creeping closer to US$30 right now, so it isn't really cheap eats if you arrive with an appetite.

Shrimp with curry is recommended
Take a take away and skip buying drinks here as they overcharge.
We have eaten prawns with curry two days in a row now. Fantastically good and large portion! I have been able to share a portion with my daughter. Top rating. About SEK 170 per portion and better food than the beach restaurants. High prices drag the rating down to 4/5.

Hit Seven Mile Beach for a day to walk around and do drinks/lunch off resort. Our driver was very adamant we do Best in the West for some jerk chicken.
It’s a small spot that added to its charm. There were four of us so we ordered two half jerk chickens for the table and drinks.
Service was great and they managed to get us in and situated during a down pour. The only negative would be the price. By far one of the most expensive places we ate at that day at $27 USD for a half bird and some sides of rice and coco bread. They definitely know they have a gem of a location!
Would still recommend if you’re on the beach and looking for some good food for lunch or dinner. It’s across the street from Coco la Palm hotel.

After ordering we waited for a full hour for our food to arrive. When we finally got our food it tasted good enough. When we were finished our food we waited for 20 minutes for somebody to come and clear our table. When they finally came we asked for a takeout container and 15 minutes later we got the container but when we opened the container is was dirty and there were remains of food in it. We asked for a new one and they brought it to us. Then we were waiting for the bill for a half hour. When we finally got the bill they charged us 10 dollars USD for one bottled water and 9 dollars USD for a small beer. then they added a 10% tip to our bill when we had never said we wanted to tip and when we pointed out that we didn’t want to tip that due to the wait they said there was nothing they could do about it. We were there for over 2 hours and paid well over 100 dollars USD. Usually when I go to restaurants in my hometown or in other countries I’m there for 45 minutes-an hour tops. Being at this restaurant for over 2 hours is ridiculous and I would not recommend. The food is not worth the wait. Yes it’s good but not worth waiting an hour

We were recommended this place and saw some good reviews but our experience was nothing but unpleasant. The food was bland and cold after waiting a long time. No flavor! The oxtails were tough and inedible. My sister found plastic cooked into her festival. My other sister and brother-in law had paper towels cooked into their brown stew fish. Just horrible. Would NEVER in my life go here again. Worst in the west should be the name!

Christmas Day looking for Jerk Chicken. Our favorite spots were closed so we went here. They had plenty of chicken prepared. We each ordered a half a jerked chicken. The first thing that was off putting was they were $27 each and that was WITH OUT rice and pea and veg. We only had Jamaican dollars and that came to $3,600 JM they asked if we wanted bread with that and that was an extra $300 JM. It tasted like it was cooked yesterday and very dry with absolutely no jerk flavor. The sauce hid the fact that it was yesterday’s old with NO authenticity. They seem to cater to tourists in the beach.
Smart choice jerk center in negril is really good @ $1,600 JM a 1/2 and Cool Vibes on west end road Negril is more expensive but amazing @ $2,600JM a 1/2. If you are in Negril and you’re ok with best in the west then that’s your place
Otherwise go to the other two I mentioned or or Bourbon Beach you won’t be disappointed

It was our favorite spot for a decade. Not a lot justifies over 30% increase in jerk chicken plate. On top, they take no credit cards so if we want to show up twice for half chicken, that requires $100 USD cash before tip. That’s rough. We will only show up once each trip from here.

Have been eating here for many years, usually 4-5 times over our 3 week holiday. This year we went for our first meal and realized they now want $6.00 US for a Red Stripe which is absolutely ridiculous. Complete greed. Needless to say we did not go back and spent our money elsewhere. This is a road side eatery and our bill for 2 1/4 Chicken dinners $15 each with Rice and Peas, 2 beers and a water was close to $50 US. Too bad really as we love the atmosphere.

We attempted to dine a few times but you have to get there before sunset if you want a table. We had good service but our meals we just a bit disappointing. I'd say that our chicken was getting a little dried out and we didn't get much meat. Probably the fresh stuff was coming out later. I've eaten here many times before and this was the first time I didn't get any nice pieces of meat.

After a long day of activities we wanted a good local spot to eat at and our driver suggested this place! We had jerk chicken at our hotel but this was different it was so good, maybe the best we’d had!! Everything was fresh, seasoned well…phenomenal! It only took 15-20 mins but as we were waiting for our food it started to get packed so you know it’s good!! If you’re in Negril this spot is a must to go to!

I tried the Chicken soup more than once and it was consistently excellent. I was also pleased with the curry goat. The jerk Chicken is tasty but a bit pricey but a good chef knows his/her worth so it was ok with me🙌

I had BIG expectations. I knew it was “roadside food” but every forum, list, advice article on Negril names this place as a great place to eat. Our server was great, friendly and funny. Food was ready fairly quickly, despite it being very busy. We had chicken, 2 half dinners and two rum and cokes and it was $100usd. The chicken was definitely leaning towards dry and it was COLD. Very overpriced for what we ate. Pretty disappointing. In our experience, not the best in the west:(

We asked our driver to take us to somewhere local that serves authentic Jamaican food, where the locals would go. He recommended best in the west and called ahead to book us a table.
The service was excellent, the food even better. Jerk chicken to die for and the best rice and peas we had all holiday. Others had shrimp curry which was also very good and Chonch soup, soooooo good!
Cocktails were the proper stuff, strong, tasted good and half the price of those at Margaritaville and Ricks. Pay a visit you will not be disappointed.
