Jrk! Downtown
This casual Jamaican spot serves the best lunch deal in Downtown. For $15, you’ll shuffle down an assembly line and act as the creative director of your very own bowl. Pick a protein like jerk chicken with satisfying heat, curry chicken, pepper steak, shrimp, or oxtail. Then it's on to bases: rice and peas, jerk fried rice, jerk quinoa, or mixed greens. There are more toppings, but just ask for as many pineapple plantains as they'll give you. If the dining room next door feels like a vacant bar, that’s because it is. Come back at night when it turns into Mangrove for drinks, dancing, and more dinner options.
