About Jerk Junction Kargo Mkt

Caribbean Restaurant in Manchester

Jerk Junction Kargo MKT in Manchester is a total find! It's tucked away – I'd recommend checking their hours because they seem to keep flexible hours – but the space itself is bright and casual, with a really friendly atmosphere. The photos online show lots of natural light and a clean, modern design. It's got a cool, relaxed vibe that feels both modern and Caribbean.

The menu is all about Jamaican jerk, with lots of variations on chicken, pork, and even some veggie options. I spotted a photo of a perfectly plated jerk chicken platter, and the colours were amazing. They seem to offer a range of sides too, including rice and peas, and plantains. I'd definitely go back to try the jerk pork; it looked incredible.

What makes Jerk Junction stand out is its focus on simple, high-quality jerk. It's perfect for a casual lunch or dinner with friends, or even a quick takeout meal. If you're looking for authentic Caribbean flavours in a relaxed setting, this place is worth checking out; it's a refreshing change from some of the more formal Caribbean restaurants in town.

Wow, my first visit and won't be my last! We tried Birria Taco's from Fuego 1987, Rainbow Dumplings x 2 from Wong Dumplings and fried chicken wings from Nila's Kitchen. We shared between two of us and there was more than enough food. My friend took a dodgy bag home. It would be hard to pick a favourite but at a push I'd choose the Dumplings, perfectly seasoned, a taste explosion in every bite. The Taco's were a very close 2nd, the dippimg gravy enhances the flavours in the Taco's perfectly. Also they have happy hour Mon - Thursday 4pm till 7pm, we got a large wine & pint for £10. The service was great too, and someone is always coming by to clear rubbish & empties, even the queue at the bar for gappy hour went down quickly. This place is a 10 from me.

Have been to Kargo MKT a couple of times now and love the choices of food available. I have eaten at different places on both visits and could not fault the food at all Todays visit was extremely busy, a weekend and the half marathon but food service was excellent. The queue for the bar however was a different story. I only wanted soft drinks, cans of drink but you still have to go to the bar to order these. Maybe there could be an option for the food vendors to be able to offer soft drinks alongside their food offerings. Other than that, I can't fault the venue or the service and will be returning again.

Disappointing. Automation gone mad. No Host. No instructions. £1 per order processing fee. Stalls closed. App doesn’t remember card details. No management team present. Ambience poor. Website of vendors not updated. Food from QR, Bar - queue up - inconsistent. Tried to order pizza at 20.50, pizzaiola decoded to close early as it wasn’t busy. What happened to cash and friendly service. 19 food vendors in an average size hall stinks of landlord greed.

Only just discovered this place , already been twice in a week. Such a great place with so many vendors much better than Mackie Mayers or the rest. I've tried the dumplings place and the burger place (what's your beef?) both excellent. The dumplings are so good with lots of flavours and the char siu meat is incredible. As for the bacon cheeseburger it was great then beef patties are excellent quality. This is a perfect place to take family or meet up with friends the choice is brilliant. Will definitely be returning and I tell everyone about it.

Absolutely loved this new to us street food venue. Popped in for a bite before we went to see Uncanny and ordered 3 different things from 3 different places for the 3 of us then grabbed a drink at the bar and sat outside. The items were easy to order and pay for then you wait with a little beeper alarm which lets you know when your item is ready and you go and collect it. Magic. Kid friendly and full of all ages. Would recommend it to anyone.
