Whadda Jerk has a unique vibe and looks like it could be a fun place for drinks, but I would not recommend the food.
First of all there is no tap water, you have to pay $2 for bottles of water. The servers were friendly but service wasn’t particularly fast.
The food was overpriced and a bit too spicy for my liking. There was also a ver meager amount of fries that came with our jerk tender grilled cheese.
The inside is super cool, with swing chairs and dope lighting.
I want this place to do a major overhaul because it's black owned and deserves to make the same money as the other brunch spots. I think the problem is that the restaurant is bit dated & old/ratty and the food is just not appeasing. We did not eat when we went because the appearance of the food was not it. For $55/person, the quality should be there. Now, the mimosas were good. Not super strong but I enjoyed the different flavors. The karaoke is the draw and could be a big money maker on the weekend if only these improvements could be made. My friends and I enjoyed the owner and staff very much.
Great staff, great food, great drinks. The frozen margaritas were wonderful and they come in peach or strawberry. The soft tacos seemed a little small, but they were filled all the way up with chicken and toppings. The whadda bowl was very generously filled, the fried egg is under the jerk chicken. Their in house jerk sauce used on the jerk tenders is sweet and spicy and it's better than any Mango habsnero I've ever had. And the tenders are grilled not deep fried. The fries are fresh cut and their not breaded so they will get a little soggy with all the sauces. It was a little pricey, the margaritas were $15.50 each and you can go through those pretty quickly. There's indoor and outdoor seating
Big Brother premier party with Thee DJ Showtime, Daniel Durston, and LNC's Shay partied and entertained as the place watched the 1st episode of BB 25. Excellent sound system for Karaoke.
These are good wings but for the price, you get only 4. There is heat on these wings but unlike traditional jerk seasoning, the wet sauce is not jerk, its too sweet and not orange colored. The fries were a bit soggy from the sauce dripping off the wings. I would have preferred the fries in a separate bag. Was not really what I was expecting.
0/10 for me. Only good thing was the music. Our waitress had an attitude and turns out she was the manger. Food was not that good at all it tasted more sweet than anything. There was a 20% service fee no matter if you use cash or card.
The Jerk Nachos, wings and chimichanga were delicious. The jerk sauce was flavorful and sweet. The vibe was cool. The karaoke was hilarious. I had a good time and will most definitely be back.
Everything about this place was amazing from the ambiance to the food, drinks and service. We went on karaoke night and it was definitely a vibe. I can’t wait to go back ????
