I asked to look at my food before I pay because I read the reviews. This is by far the BEST jerk chicken spot out south!! Safe neighborhood. Service was great food is delicious.

I stopped by St. Best Jerk Chicken and was blown away by the amazing service! The staff was friendly, welcoming, and made me feel right at home from the moment I walked in. They were patient in answering my questions, quick with my order, and made sure everything was just right before I left. It’s not just the delicious food that keeps me coming back—it’s the way they treat their customers with genuine care and respect. Excellent customer service on top of great jerk chicken—can’t beat that!

Hands down the best Jamaican food I’ve ever had! The service is fast and friendly this is my second time going and my food is always hot. Portions are big for the price, the flavors are authentically Jamaican, the spice is Just right. Everything I’ve had so far has been spectacular.
