Recommendations
"You can't go wrong with jerk chicken in Jamaica, but Scotchie's has a great vibe. It's local but tourist-friendly. They slow cook under corrugated tin over pimento wood. And the sauce they use has an incredible kick."
"Scotchies is one of the best spots on Jamaica's north coast to find the island's most popular dish, jerk pork. Try not to fill up just on pork, though."
"Line up with locals and tourists for authentic Jamaican “jerk” at this pleasant barbecue pit with its picnic tables under zinc-roofed sheds."
"Be sure to load up on sides, such as festival—a crispy and slightly sweet cornmeal-flour Johnny cake."
on Festival
"Come dressed casually and enjoy award winning jerk along with area residents… this is ONE stop you don’t want to miss."
"The meat is super hot and spicy; it demands a sip of beer and is extremely addictive. And it’s a chain, so Scotchie’s can be enjoyed almost anywhere on the island!"
"It wasn't just spicy it was down right hot, but truly a wonderful food experience that we will NEVER forget."
"I promise, you'll leave with a healthy appreciation and love for authentic Jamaican jerk."
