JoJo's Jerk Pit in Kingston

been here many times, i absolutly love the food the poutine is a must order from here.

This place has lost its form. I bought a medium manish wata soup (only 12 ozsrecently and boy was I disappointed. Not only with the taste but alao the price ($517!). I couldnt believe the sub-standard taste that I got there. Not going back.

If you’re looking for authentic food ....Jojos is it! I love the food, the customer service, as well as the customer service!

Food was limited but good, seems they didnt expect a crowd....big up u self Latoya! Best server!

The food wasnt all that. Pork was sorta dry. Had to ask the workers three times where I could order the meal, they point from one to the other until I finally got through to the cashier. Service largely depends on what they believe your class/colour/nationality is. Tourists or affluent patrons will likely get served or attention before you.

Great place to go for authentic jerk food. Place is built around a giant tree.

Good food though it took awhile to get, good service and a great vibe.

Very casual low key place where locals hang out. The server was friendly however the food and presentation was subpar to say the least. The mussels were delicious but then I ordered the lamb med temperature and it was served over cooked and burnt. The drinks were just ok. The karaoke was very loud to the point where we couldn’t hear each other speak but entertaining nonetheless.

I ordered the fish sandwich there it came a bit dry. I regret the order because I expected a more fulfilling sandwich. It is easily something that I could have made at home and it would have tasted way better and I would have saved money. This place is a bit pricy too. I paid $1200 plus tax JMD for a dry fish sandwich with a side of fries. Also the gratuity is automatically added you your bill, which I wasn’t a huge fan about. I am giving this 2 stars only because it’s a chill ambience. I won’t necessarily be up to going here again, because I didn’t get an experience that I couldn’t get anywhere else or at home even...

The atmosphere was good, the live band was entertaining, really good music. The Food was great as well

Dined here for restaurant week. Service was great. The food was delightful. I had the quakie (ducktacos and the beef short ribs with candied sweet potatoes. However, the highlight of the night was that decadent cheesecake, I had to purchase a second slice for takeout. Live music is provided on Saturdays. Its a great place to dine and enjoy scrumptious meals. The vibe is always good.

Food was delicious and fresh, appreciated how courteous the staff and the restaurants set up was decent. They missed the 5/5 because of the fly problem. Im not sure if this is something that the company can fix given that most of the seating is outdoors. Additionally I noted that they have fans installed and wicks of wax lit to combat the fly issue but yeah.

The service overall is less than average and they only treat people they know well. The wait for food or drinks is extremely long and frustrating. Most of the service workers are rude and once youre there you just want to leave. A few people did leave while waiting for someone to visit their table while I was there. The food isnt terrible, but it wasnt that good to mention either. Definitely would never return there.

I went to Karaoke Thursday there🎤That part wasnt bad at all.The problem we had was that the waiter that we got attended us far and long minutes in between.We waited forever to get her to come take the order then a long time for her to bring the appetizer. It was forever before she came back to us.Kmt.Base on all of that we decided not to order a meal. We thought that just Ordering something to drink🍻 couldnt be so bad.Omg.Its as if this woman went out to the factory to buy the beers. Not to mention coming back for the bill.We just left it on the table and walked out. I hope she got the money. Sigh.

Took my Queen on a surprise lunch date here and maan was it the best. Very well prepared meals that was surprisingly tasty and filled with flavour for the short time it took to prepare. The prices was affordable and Oh Gustavo has deals going on for them and I was so happy I chose this cuz now I have found a hidden gem. The food was delicious (I must says againand the natural juices were refreshing but none like the customer service received from Glen our waiter. From we walked into the establishment we were greeted with the most delightful welcome as if we were family (mind u this was our first time here), he seated us and ran us through our menu options and juice options and even entertained us with convo about the different nights here. He checked on us to ensure we were good and cleaned up as soon as we were thru. Very thorough and friendly service has to be BIGGED UP when received. He was simply fantastic and made us definitely want to come back. WE WILL BE BACK for Saturday live.

The food was okay and but their service needs to be improved. It took a while for us to get our food and drinks and we had to worry about flies while eating. The ambiance wasnt that bad. Dont think Ill be going back anytime soon though.

Went on Saturday night. The service was overall very good. The food was excellent. The house band and singer were awesome. If you come to Kingston and catch some of the island vibe. This is the place.

Amazing karaoke. I had fun. I really didnt want food so I didnt get much. Just a drink. Service took too long. My friends food came so late we had to extend how long we were staying. All my stars are for the karaoke vybe. Ill never buy food there otherwise.

Went there on a karaoke Thursday had issues from the jump. Even though we only wanted food we had to pay to enter. Then the waiters werent interested in finding seats for us or taking our orders. Food was atrocious as well had an upset stomach from simple jerk chicken that night it was horrible. When I got home.

The food was delectable and the portions bountiful however the customer service was very poor at first. We waited 30 mins before being attended to. We requested water and it took 15 mins before it was provided.What was really commendable was a worker, didnt get her name was walking by and saw our facial expressions. She said "Im off the clock but theres no way I can see a disgruntled customer and leave." She assigned a waiter to us and although food took roughly one hour to be served, the waiter was very kind and attentive. They can work on improving their decor and getting a disc jokey with a lot of vibe

I really enjoyed my time at this restaurant. The ambiance was welcoming, the staff was professional(shout out to ASHA, the food was DELICIOUS(they know how to JERK WELL), and the service was WONDERFUL. The portion sizes is more than generous, we had lots of leftovers. The outdoor dinning was nice, you have the musicand the cool breeze.......made you feel like you were in your own personal hide away. Whenever I return to Jamaica, we will definitely be back for another AWESOME experience.

The food is absolutely great and the menu has a lot of different things to offer. The setting is also welcoming. Ive recommended other friends to visit and their response was just as good. I ordered the Lausanne, pork..my favourite, chicken..GREAT...

Wonderful scenery. I enjoyed the live music and overall settings. Had the jerk chicken and wings which were just IMHO, ok. Your tongue wont do a happy dance but it wont at the the same time be disappointed

The food was okay... Nothing worth remembering though. My boyfriend ordered grill shrimp it was delicious the vegetable though not so much. I ordered the jerk chicken it was okay the mash potato was a bit too salty. The daiquri I order was real nice the mixture of baileys and rum that my BF order tasted water down. The ambiance of the place was lovely the music was good(to the point my other half wanted to dance the customer service was ridiculous as we got a table no table cloth and we witness every other table that came in after us getting their table nicely fixed. The young lady serving us obviously wasnt trained...we were making our orders and she leaned up on d table the whole time quite comfortable.

Smells great the portion sizes were off a bit from beef to chicken. Ut the placed looks beautiful and lots of room to hangout and to whatever you want. The staff seemed to have a very nice welcoming vibe and were curious about our tattoos and nice. Food is good.

Not bad. I havent been in a while but the food was good - had the fries. I think they have too many food choices - you will be confused for a bit trying to decide what to have but they are fast with serving you. Nice chill vibes. Live music or goof oldies playing. Lots of parking. Not bad at all

Bit disappointed. At 8:00pm no jerked chicken was ready and was told we had to wait for an 1 1/2 if we wanted it. The wings were not cook to order and was tasteless. Mudslide drink was great. Ambiance ok. It was my first experience and i was not impressed with the service.

Ive been there several times, and keep going back because they have a widely varied menu with expertly-prepared and well cooked food, and friendly and efficient wait staff. The owners are always there, and give their personal attention to ensuring that the operations run smoothly and the customers are satisfied. One of my favorite food places, and the occasional live music event only serves to enhance the experience.

It was horrible very horrible from start until finish but what makes it extraordinary horrible I ordered a vegetarian roti after it took so long to get it my table my first bite into the Roti I found of rock stone and how they/jo jos dealt with it was rude so I had to leave prematurely.... Ill rate you 5 stars for treating people horribly!!!!!!!!

Loved the ambience. Went there on my mother and husbands birthday, there was a live band and the music shot. The place was a bit dark though. Customer service was good with our host Greg i think. The entrance was a bit hidden so we had a little difficulty finding it.

Staff could be a wee bit more friendly. Also they really should consider making two types of red peas soup. One with and one without the pork. I get lunch there daily. Wouldnt keep going back if it werent good. But improvement in service quality would definitely improve customer experience.

The food was great and the live music was really good (Saturday nights are live music). My only problem was that the food took some time to come but we understood the situation. They were a bit short staffed that night. Nonetheless, our waitress was great.

Interesting ambiance. Rustic on your way in and then quaint dining. Comfort food. Different soup each day. Sometimes service can be slow when you have a large group. But I suspect you get fed when the last item is ready from each course. Usually friendly staff. Sometimes someone is a little preoccupied but thats life. Give them a little encouragement and they come around.

Excellent food choices and delicious too.Some choices are a bit pricey though. The ambience is good and if you are there long enough the music is also good.I enjoy oldies music and I have never been disappointed.

It was a group of us , payday ,peak hours of around 830/9 pm. Several things went wrong from the get go .We werent offered any water. only one soup was available of the 3 that was supposed to be soups of the day. They didnt have any fruits to make any cocktails or blended fruit juice that we wanted. I ordered the shrimp Alfredo ,as I started eating I felt sick shrimp and pasta underdone even though the manager said the pasta was al dente. It was still under cooked because Ive had al dente penne pasta before. Quesadilla just came with a cup of sour cream and another cup of prego tomato sauce. There was no side tomatoes and works thats suppose to come with a quesadilla. It wasnt bad though. The steamed fish was ok and salmon. The sausage is not your typical sausage in a casing. Its the ground meat thats just presented on a small kids plate .The smell off putting .the mash potato tasted like the powdered one that comes in a box and didnt have any taste. Poor lighting if youre not close the kitchen. Over all I cant say Ill recommend going there. And we should have figured seeing that the place was basically empty on a night such as I described. Improvement needs to be done with the chef/kitchen because the quality is not consistent throughout .

The customer service could have been better. We went as a large group and they decided that each table would only get 1 bill. So in addition to waiting forever for them to calculate my table which had approximately 22 persons, we also has to calculate our own bill to determine how much each person was to pay.

The only reason why it was an a five the waitress needed to be more attentive to our table the food was good the company was great and the other patrons were hilarious

Food is great. Ambiance is great. Entertainment is great. Customer service is great. It was fun and relaxing. Chill vibes.Revisited this awesome place and the service was even better....friends and I almost asked for a wheel chair just to get to the parking lot after all the food and drinks we had.

Hey what can I say I proposed there.....the ambience is just awesome Id definitely say the Saturdays are just it with the live music. The owner, band and staff really chipped it to make it work seamless so Id definitely have to say give the place a try

The rating is actually overrated I would like to give it a 0 rating. The only good thing about this place is the setting , nicely decorated that was the only positive thing about this place,The waitress was very unprofessional and didn’t use her initiative you had to ask for things that were obviously needed. I ordered the jerk lamb and rice and peas, the rice was cold and the lamb was tuff like old boots.

First let me start by saying this place is absolutely a disaster dont waste your money here go elsewhere the service here is poor, the staff seemed unhappy for the most parts. I was scared. I brought my lady here on one of our first dates. I almost lost her because of this place. It wasnt busy, our server took everything we ordered to our very small table all at once, appetizer and main course meal and to add to that he didnt return to our table until everything was all done. We had to be eating our cold meal around empty dirty appetizer serving plates. The live music was good however. The Environment was welcoming for the most part unlike our unpleasant server who only seemed interested to serve us as we were living after our horrible experience and tipped him.

Has that in the backyard vibe. You dont care if the tables are close or if every now and then you have to wait a little longer. The food is amazing! And the live band has an energy that just wont stop. Definitely a place for everyone!

I ordered the ribs which were DELICIOUS ! Food came out in good time too. I went on a Tuesday night when they had live music. That was entertaining, however the music was WAY too loud. I could hardly have a conversation with my group of friends nor speak to our server. We left with hoarse voices.Our server was ok. I didnt have enough time to read through them menu and I felt rushed to order. The guy kept prompting us to read through the menu when we asked questions about the food while still putting on the pressure for us to order quickly. Id go back... on a different night. . Hopefully with a different server.

We had a fabulous night out here with friends. The food is good, the staff is friendly, the crowd is terrific and the music is outstanding. Great atmosphere. The night we were there a big table of ladies was celebrating a baby shower! Not to be missed if you are in Kingston for a couple days.

Great food, and Karaoke on Thursday nights is a blast!

The food and service are great, but we kept having to fight off the flies. Oh, and their menu does not reflect current price increases. Ask the current price before ordering!

The food was exceptionally good in taste. The portion was a bit smaller than I was anticipating. I ordered the baby back ribs. I would add that the waitress could have been a bit more patient. We felt rushed.. overall it was a good experience. I plan on coming again in the near future.

I was there to celebrate after my friend won a volleyball championship game. We had an awesome time. Its a rustic open air feel with live music and good Jamaican food and super friendly staff. Very casual environment. They have WiFi and they take master card 💳 and serve a wide variety of drinks. There is also a lot of parking too.

Casual dining in an open atmosphere with perfectly seasoned Jamaican jerk pork along with daily menu specials. Staff are friendly and accommodating and the margaritas are awesome ;)

Went for restaurant week so I exercised more patience than normal. The parking was a little lacking but hey! Where in Kingston can you get great parking. The menu had good selections and the wait for food wasnt horrible and the service was commendable. My cons: the cornbread crumbled at the slightest touch and though I ordered a dessert which was supposed to have brownie topped with ice cream, I got brownie shards with ice cream. I would come back another time but after Ive reacquainted my taste buds to what actual brownie tastes like! Oh yeah...the ribs - the rub was a touch too salty and obvious. Maybe our pieces didnt get all the excess shaken off...maybe. Another time will tell.....
