Back when Fireside Grill closed and City Jerk opened in it's former spot, we weren't too psyched to see a new spot for Caribbean food open up. In our opinion, we've got enough of it already.
However...
We recently discovered the City Jerk has excellent jerk chicken. The bird is high quality and the thighs are super meaty and moist. The jerk seasoning and strong but not overwhelming. We went twice in one week and it was excellent both times. We're getting to be regulars.
Though completely subjective, we feel that the chicken is better enjoyed intact rather than chopped up into pieces with a cleaver. The latter is the default mode of serving at City Jerk, so if you don't want it all hacked apart you have to custom order as such.
Seriously - it's good. Located on Flatbush near Midwood.
Eat.
I agree 100% - their side fixins are delicious too. Great veggies, tasty fish. This one's a winner.

I have to disagree. The chicken is dry and bland compared to at least three other places just on Flatbush: Peppa's (especially), Blessed Delight and - Soul Jah (if it is still as good as it was when it was called "Danny's Express").
