The Jerk House is a new restaurant in Whitby opened more than 6 months ago.

The Jerk House was founded in 2022. The creation of this unique restaurant was the vision of a father and Son. Born/ lived his life in Jamaica the passion for cooking and catering grew. Working in the hospitality industry for years and with his son's flare for business the idea of a restaurant came about. Years of preparing food for family and friends and connecting people through good food and laughter, the dream of a restaurant that brings the quality and taste of authentic Caribbean Cuisine was created. This dream became reality on July 23rd 2022. Our Goal here at the Jerk House is to provide exceptional service while bringing the flavors and quality of Authentic Caribbean Cuisine to the community and surrounding areas.

I decided to give this spot a try, went with their jerk chicken sandwich, and honestly it was pretty good, but I will say it was a bit sweet, which might've been the coleslaw, and I feel like the bun sort of masked the jerk flavor, so might go with their rice and jerk chicken if I ever drop by again :)

Great Food, But the Portions Miss the Mark I visited The Jerk House recently and was impressed by the service—quick and attentive. The food was made fresh and the oxtail, in particular, tasted amazing. You could tell there was real care put into the preparation and flavors. However, my only gripe is the portion size. For the price, I was expecting a more balanced serving. My order had three-quarters rice and only a quarter of oxtail, which left me feeling disappointed. Compared to places like Nicey's and Sunrise, The Jerk House is way too frugal with their portions. If they could find a better balance between quality and portion size, this spot would be a top contender. Until then, I’d hesitate to recommend it at its current value.

I got jerk chicken and rice, they don’t sell jerk sauce for the rice and the chicken was so burnt and dry (very over cooked chicken). Also the chicken doesn’t even taste like jerk, I’m so disappointed.

Walked in store the girl working there didn't even acknowledge there was a customer was busy with her listening on her airpods. Ordered large jerk chicken asked the girl if it comes with 2 jerk chicken legs she said yes asked her if i can substitute for 1 for a fried chicken she said yes. Bill came to around $26 charged me extra $4 for 1/2 n 1/2 which she didn't bother telling me. Food quality was not good rice was soggy, ox tail gravy watery, jerk chicken had no flavour and fried chicken was ok. Not worth it at all would not recommend this place if you craving flavourful jerk.

super friendly staff and i liked their Oxtail but now it's hardly worth the price. Especially how much oxtail they serve for a large!! I use to go in here quite a bit but I'm going to have to start going somewhere else until portion sizes improve. Which is really sad cuz I actually really like this place..

I ordered Jerk chicken with Rice and coleslaw, got curry goat gravy on the topping, the portions were great, the food was yummy, I loved the Sorrel, their signature juice. The family who served the food was very welcoming. Thank you for the best Caribbean food. Will visit soon.
