Ja' Grill

Ja’ Grill has been around for many years, but personally, I consider it a hidden gem in the City of Chicago. It is one of those places that, even having eating there many times at this point, has always delivered. The vibe is fun and laid back, and I believe that there was only one occasion where I had a slightly surly waitress who steered me in the wrong direction with a special. Beyond that, the staff has been friendly and helpful, and the prices are reasonable.

As one would expect, the jerk items that Ja’ Grill prepares are delicious. I always make sure to order jerk something or other when I’m there. (Big thumbs up on the shrimp and chicken.) I also recommend trying their red snapper and any of the curry dishes. In full disclosure, I haven’t eaten the goat since I am not a fan of the goat, but beyond that, I’ve sampled the other curry dishes and think that they are delicious. Plantains, rice and beans, and the coco bread come along with most entrees, and the bread is perfect for sopping up the delicious remnants left on the plate.

You can’t go wrong with a Red Stripe and dinner at Ja’Grill.
