Jerk at Nite, founded by Denville Myrie, Jr. in 2012, began as a solution to the lack of late-night food options at Howard University. After seeing his peers struggle with unhealthy fast food, Denville, raised in a Jamaican household, started delivering flavorful jerk chicken and other Jamaican dishes from his dorm. What began as a small campus venture evolved into a food truck business in 2015, and later, a brick-and-mortar restaurant. The menu features healthy fusion dishes, such as jerk chicken, oxtail, and jamming’ salmon, free of MSG and preservatives. Now with multiple locations, including in D.C. and Baltimore, Jerk at Nite continues to grow and serves the community with a focus on quality and flavor.

    I had a reservation on 3/5 for myself and some colleagues and I called to see if I could change my reservation from eat in to take out but no one answered. I realized I probably called too early because it was just a little before 12pm and the website said they opened at noon, so I called back around 12:15 and still no answer. I decided to walk over to the restaurant just in case it was a situation where they couldn't answer the phone due to being busy but when I got there, it was closed. There was a sticker on the window from UPS that said "sorry we missed you" and an uber eats guy showed up asking if we knew when they'd be opened. So this rating is not food related because I have heard the food is good but I never got to try it because they were a no call, no show.

    The BEST jerk ever! The food was well seasoned, fresh, and a great presentation. I was not disappointed with the quality and quantity of food. Everyone in our party enjoyed their dish from the mouth watering oxtails, flavorful rasta pasta, perfectly prepared salmon, and the jerk chicken was off the charts with flavor. We enjoyed the patties and the coco bread. We will be back!!! I highly recommend for foodies that enjoy Jamaican cuisine.

    Although they were out of the popular items we came for ( goat, Snapper, lamb chops) our alternatives were delicious. Nautica our waitress was gracious and provided excellent customer service. The place has a great vibe, nice decorated with African and Carribean flare. I'll be back

    My husband and I enjoyed our reservations, everything was great, although I was a bit overdressed as everyone else was wearing casual attire. Fortunately, I followed my instincts and made the reservation despite some negative reviews, which would have been a huge disappointment given the long drive from Frederick, MD. Luckily, our experience was positive and we're looking forward to returning this Thursday.

    The food was delicious but service was not the best. It took over an hour to get our food & it didn’t come out at the same time. Which meant that was an additional 20+ mins. The restaurant was cold because there was no heat. Also there was a line to get in & as we were waiting we were told they were only taking reservations or you can do carry out. Was able to go on Open Table to make a reservation & once inside only a handful of people.

    Very disappointing experience. I’ve been hearing about this place for a while now and was so excited to try to, I always want to support my pple. Well, we were looking for a reservation but found nothing about that on the website which clearly had not been updated because it doesn’t even have the Baltimore location address on it or phone numbers for the establishment. Nonetheless we decided to show up and see. The security guard at the door said they are only taking reservations for the night and to go orders, no walk ins. She said reservation are on open table. So we checked and saw there was a 9 pm reservation available and booked it for the evening. We wanted to try it so badly that we left and came back an hour later for our reservation. We get inside and the place is basically empty. We get seated and it’s FREEZING inside, no heat in the restaurant. Our server comes over and lists of all the item they do not have for the evening. They also don’t have cocktails just rum punch. We ordered 2 rum punch and the jerk wings to start, the drinks come and are TRASH, my man didnt even drink his. We ordered our entry’s and the wait begins. We are looking around like why does no one have food, the few tables there no one is eating, strange. The wings come 30 min later, no small plates for sharing but honestly taste good. We continue waiting. An hour goes by no entry. We are sitting there cold as hell no food multiple pple asking what did you order again, honestly I couldn’t take it anymore and we payed for the wings and left. I honestly feel like this place opened and started taking business before they were truly ready and it shows. This is just my experience, I hope they get it together and can be successful
