"A favorite with many Mo'Bay locals, this no-frills eatery serves Jamaican specialties including some fiery jerk—note that it's spiced to local tastes, not watered down for tourists."

Steve Bennett

"For me, Pork Pit outshines Scotchie’s in one key thing: jerk pork. It’s just more succulent, more flavorful than the pork at Scotchie’s. This might seem obvious judging by Pork Pit’s name, but the jerk chicken is damn good here too."

Lonely Planet

"Notwithstanding, his meat-cooking travails send a delicious aroma wafting down Gloucester Ave and provide a perfect advert for the Pork Pit’s obligatory jerk pork."

Miranda Anderson

"The Pork Pit, south of the Hip Strip, serves up REAL Jamaican Jerk. You may just eat here every day."

Stephanie Citron

"Let your nose, not your eyes, lead you to the Pork Pit Bar & Grill in Montego Bay. The aroma alone makes up for the dilapidated location."

Kathy Bernard

"This is the quintessential Jamaican experience where you sit outdoors at a picnic table with a local family, make a toast with your red-striped beer bottle, and enjoy great food and music for $1.50."

Jennifer Plum Auvil

"Don't let its looks scare you away -- the Pork Pit at 27 Gloucester Ave has some of the best jerk around Montego Bay."

Reid Bramblett

"No, it’s no Scotchies, but this bright yellow building with the picnic tables on the patio is the best jerk joint on the Hip Strip, just a short walk from the busiest section."

Dylan York

"Just after touching down in Montego Bay, stop at the famous Pork Pit for some Jamaican Jerk. Take in the scent of burning coals, spiced rubbed meat, and wood as the jerk cooks."

Amy Rigby

"As its name suggests, The Pork Pit is a great place to try jerk pork: juicy and flavorful, with an option of three spicy sauces."
