Our mission is to make healthy, high-quality, authentic Jamaican cuisine accessible to all, without compromise.
Our Story
Jrk! was born the Jamaican way… out of passion. A Jamaican and Miami native bonded over an affinity for culinary flare and inability to find fast, healthy, and authentic Jamaican food. So, we took matters into our own hands.
We launched Jrk! with the intent of building upon the techniques, flavors, and influences that defined our childhoods in an honest, health-conscious, and sustainable (not to mention delicious) fashion.
With an eagerness to bring Caribbean customs to the world, Jrk! exploded onto the scene in true island style (with open arms and broad smiles). Packed with authenticity, seasoned with family tradition, and made fresh with local ingredients, our menu honors classic Caribbean tastes with healthy Jamaican staples. Grounded in community, each dish we serve is made with love, soul, and a pinch of nostalgia.
With an adventurous spirit, we stay true to our roots by never compromising on quality. And we always have room for one more at our table.
Our Values
Hospitality Romantics
Jrk! is our home, and our guests are our family. We welcome everyone with fiery kitchens and full plates. Dedicated to fostering a joyous environment, we maintain an uplifting demeanor and energetic atmosphere with classic Caribbean flare. Service is our North Star and we love working tirelessly to ensure that everyone who walks through our doors feels – and tastes – our commitment.
Quality Enthusiasts
We understand the power of food. Even more, we value the importance of natural, health-centric ingredients. So, while we push the boundaries with flavor, we hand-pick each item on our menu to radiate wellness and provide health-conscious selections for vegans, vegetarians, and meat-eaters alike. No frills, just down-to-earth good food.
Authenticity Advocates
Bubbly, rich in heritage, and excessively welcoming, we pride ourselves on being unapologetically Jamaican. We carefully craft our menu to reflect Jamaican traditions and source many of our ingredients locally in South Florida or Jamaica. We strive to give our guests an authentic island experience so they can feel Jamaica's heat, heart, and soul from the second they walk through our doors.
Determined Environmentalists
Our impact goes far beyond the plates we serve. From donating excess food to local nonprofits to ethically sourcing all our ingredients and packaging, we build our operations to leave our communities and environments better than when we found them. Actions over words, always.
Loyal Teammates
Team culture is the backbone of Jrk!. Rooted in a tight-knit community overflowing with familial humor, we are a collection of unique individuals coming together as one. Yet, no matter how much we grow, we always stay true to our outgoing island nature and neighborly integrity.
