If you haven't tried Chef Shrimpy's homemade Jamaican jerk sauce, do yourself a favor and GET SOME!! Everything is fresh, made from scratch, overstuffed deliciousness! The man took his sauce on the TV show "Shark Tank" and they all raved about it! The burritos are better than any Mexican place, the dinner plates are amazing...you won't be disappointed!

We got the ribs and a couple burritos (steak & pork). The flavor of both were amazing, I say try everything but don't miss out on these ribs! This is a very friendly atmosphere and Chef Shrimpy puts his positive attitude and soul into the flavor of the food - I highly recommend you check this place out, you might even be lucky enough to hear Chef Shrimpy singing along to the reggae beats. Enjoy! 😋🌯🍖

We finally returned to the Cape after the Canada/USA border was closed 2+ years due to covid and were so happy to see that Chef Shrimpy and The Jerk Cafe were still in business. The burritos are soooo good that we ordered extra to bring back to Montreal!! Cape Cod is known for great seafood but the authentic Jamaican cuisine at the Jerk Cafe is definitely a must try!!

I got the Jerk Chicken, which was very good. I don’t think a Jerk Chicken lunch needs to be $19, but that is my only complaint. The food was great though, and the food came out quick with good service.

It had been awhile since I've been to the Jerk Cafe. I'm very pleased that it has not changed. Every meal I've had there has been delicious. I particularly like the chicken vegetable wrap. The Jerk Cafe is the definition of hidden gem.

Chef Shrimpy and his authentic jerk food are definitely a must try if you come down to The Cape. I've only been to Cape Cod a few times but ever since I decided to check out The Jerk Cafe it's a guaranteed stop anytime I'm around. The jerk pork is so tender it will fall apart just by looking at it. Not only does Chef Shrimpy make amazing food, he's got an amazing attitude. He sings, he dances, and he does a lot to give back to his community. Truly an experience every time you go to The Jerk Cafe. You'll never be disappointed

I was looking for something quick as I was heading to a service call so I called The Jerk. Absolutely DELICIOUS burrito! This is the type of place I love!! A small little shop like a hidden gem! I highly recommend this place!!

No big secret to the locals, Jerk cafe is one of the best places to get fresh, deliciously-cooked food from someone whose pride you can see and taste. That someone is Chef Shrimpy, the owner who knows how to cook and treat his customers. Everything is very good to great so order anything. Get some banana fritters to top it off. The Take-Out food will put you in a good mood during these tough times.

I first discovered The Jerk Cafe a couple of years ago after seeing the video of Chef Shrimpy on Phantom Gourmet. It instantly became one of my favorite restaurants. The atmosphere is more like a takeout place, and Chef Shrimpy can usually be found cooking while singing loud and proud. The food is absolutely delicious!! The jerk chicken practically melts in your mouth and the burritos are amazing as well. I recommend getting the banana frittatas with your order as the single one given with the meal will having you craving so many more.

The BBQ Pork sub is my go to favorite. Absolutley amazing meal, and is cooked/seasoned perfectly. When I am in the area I will immediately stop here. Keep up the great cooking, thank you. Ps. The banana fritters are amazing.

Chef Shrimpy is a fantastic chef and host. His food is packed with flavor, and you can get it as spicy as you like. The open kitchen and seating makes it feel like a home, and we will definitely be ordering take out now that we’re back down the Cape for the season. Thank you, Chef Shrimpy!
