D-Roc Posted March 6, 2011 #1 Share Posted March 6, 2011 We will be in Ocho Rios in July and I am already craving "real" jerk chicken. We will be doing the Dunn's River Falls. So between there and where we dock, who can reccomend a great place to get amazing jerk chicken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsalljimmysfault Posted March 6, 2011 #2 Share Posted March 6, 2011 We went to Scotchies a couple weeks ago and had the jerk chicken and pork.Very good but be careful with the green sauce they give you to put on it...WOW! (and I like hot!) If you go there make sure to try the Festival bread too...YUMMY!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I think I said on FB, he was friendly and took us exactly where we wanted to go! He didn't try to pressure us to do anything else and he waited with the van at each stop so we could safely leave our stuff in it! He also got us to the falls early so that we were able to climb before all the crowds which was something I had told him was important to us!! We had a great day in Jamaica! If you have any other questions I'll be happy to answer! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALB0711 Posted March 7, 2011 #5 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Would like to stop there after doing the falls in two weeks. Love that Jerk Chicken!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsalljimmysfault Posted March 7, 2011 #6 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Courtney took us there so I can't give directions but it was pretty close to the port in Ocho Rios. Can't remember how long the drive was but it didn't seem like more than 10 minutes if I remember correctly...:p:rolleyes: (maybe 15...we were listening to Courtney tell us about the island!!)

ALB0711 Posted March 8, 2011 #7 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Thanks - just sent an email to Courtney - hoping I can get one of his tours. I'll tell him the Jerk Chicken fans recommended him (and his resturant choices!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malon55 Posted March 9, 2011 #8 Share Posted March 9, 2011 We went to Rico's but in Montego Bay...WOW...REAL jerk, spicy and juicy!:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfgf Posted March 9, 2011 #9 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I like The Ruins at the Falls. Just a short (maybe 2 blocks?) walk from the port area. It's a lunch buffet, never crowded, and a lot of locals eat there. $15 includes food (they at least have jerk chicken - if I remember correctly they also have jerk pork), draft beer and wine. You help yourself to the food and the servers bring you refills of the beer and wine. Here's a picture of the outdoor dining area. The scenery is amazing. That's my girlfriend sitting in the picture- we were one of two couples there at the time. (About 2pm) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Roc Posted March 9, 2011 Author #10 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Is that the Dunnes Falls your are referring to? if so w are going there and the tour package we got includes a buffet. It might in the same area if you were at the Dunnes falls in that oic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsalljimmysfault Posted March 9, 2011 #11 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Might be a good idea to ask Courtney or whoever your guide or taxi driver is where THEY would recommend! We went to Scotchies because I had read alot of positive things here but that does not mean there might not be better places for jerk...Scotchies was good though!! :) And it was really pretty there too! Lots of tropical flowers and you eat outside! Nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Roc Posted March 9, 2011 Author #12 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I just checked and yes it is the same place you ate at. The Ruins at the Falls. That is where we will be eating as part of our excursion. SWEET!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Roc Posted March 9, 2011 Author #14 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I go there every time I'm in Ocho Rios. You will NOT be disappointed! What kid options do they have (if you know that is) as my little one would not want to eat jerk chicken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfgf Posted March 9, 2011 #15 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I don't recall specific selections, but I know that they have the normal soups (at least two different varieties), breads, salads. They had a couple of side dishes that were rice-based. I recall some pastries and some cookies for dessert. They had at least one fish dish as well, but again - I'm drawing a blank. Sorry I don't have more info! You could e-mail them for a buffet listing, I would imagine: theruins@cwjamaica.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
