About
Jordan Jerk Palace III, located at 10318 S Halsted St in Chicago, is a hidden gem for lovers of authentic Jamaican cuisine. This spot brings the soulful heat and rich flavors of jerk cooking right to the heart of the city. From the moment you bite into their dishes, it's clear that passion and tradition lead the kitchen.
Their white jerk dinner stands out, featuring tender meat bathed in a bold, spicy sauce that perfectly balances heat with depth. The accompanying sides, like sweet yams and savory red beans, revive classic Caribbean comfort with each forkful—especially notable is their macaroni, which balances creaminess and spice in a way that few jerk sites manage to nail.
One of the star attractions is the Oxtail Philly sandwich, a brilliant reinvention of a classic. The oxtail is so tender it effortlessly falls off the bone, layered with soft bread, melty cheese, and just the right kick from peppers. It’s more than a meal—it’s an experience that stays with you, begging for a second round.
The jerk lamb chops, perfectly seasoned and cooked to tender perfection, echo the same hearty authenticity that defines the menu, paired wonderfully with mac and yams as sides. This consistency in delivering bold, well-balanced dishes is what makes Jordan Jerk Palace III a standout spot.
Though some reviews mention room for improvement in service, the food here tells a story of culture, care, and true jerk mastery. For anyone craving soulful, spicy Caribbean flavors, Jordan Jerk Palace III promises a memorable, mouthwatering journey.
“ Despite what some reviews may say, the food is good! I had the white jerk dinner & my food is delicious! Some of the best macaroni I’ve tasted from a jerk restaurant + the yams are sweet. The sauce is spicy (as expected) & also comes with red beans. (Some jerk restaurants stopped including that) the service could be better but nonetheless the food was good. ”
“ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Oxtail Philly from Jordan’s Jerk Palace Whoever came up with this sandwich deserves a trophy AND a vacation. That oxtail so tender it slide right off the bone and jump into your mouth like “surprise!” The bread soft, the peppers hitting, the cheese melting just right — it’s a whole love story in one bite. This ain’t no regular Philly. This the COMEBACK Philly. The “I need another one tomorrow” Philly. The “don’t ask for a bite” Philly. A true masterpiece. 10/10 — If you don’t try it, you cheating yourself. — Diamond ”
“ I ordered the Oxtails with Mac & Yams as my sides. The food was amazing. The second time I ordered the Lamb Chops with the same sides. The jerk lamb chops were cooked to perfection, everything was great. I will definitely be coming back. ”
