About Jerk Box
Caribbean Restaurant in Milton Keynes
Walking into Jerk Box in Milton Keynes, I immediately got a sense of a casual, takeout-focused spot. It's not fancy; think more bright lights and a counter for ordering, not a sit-down restaurant. The photos online showed a fairly clean and simple space, nothing flashy, which matched my experience perfectly.
Their menu features classic Jamaican fare, like jerk chicken (obviously!), fried chicken, and curries. They also offer sides such as rice and peas and loaded chips. From what I saw in photos, the portions seem a bit on the smaller side, which is echoed in some online reviews. I'd recommend checking portion sizes carefully before ordering, especially if you're very hungry.
Jerk Box is great for a quick, affordable bite of Caribbean food, especially if you're in a rush. However, based on the reviews, I'd suggest ordering in person to avoid any potential issues with portion sizes. If you're looking for a more substantial meal or a higher-end dining experience, this might not be your best bet. But for a casual, convenient taste of Jamaica in Milton Keynes, it might hit the spot.

Ordered on uber eats, portions were unbelievably small. £7.50 for fried chicken with rice, they give two tiny fried wings and dry Jamaican rice. We also ordered loaded chips, that came with 4 tiny strips of chicken and maybe 10 chips. It's literally almost a scam, how can you charge so much for such a tiny quantity of food?
Always loved getting food from here but Unfortunately my experience with the food this evening wasn't great, the rice was more like cuscus and very mushy and there was no sauce with the mutton it was very dry and didnt really have any flavor. Very disappointing considering how much it cost.
My daughter in law ordered me some food from there yesterday. She lives in London and was worried I wasn’t eating (I am unwell with a chest infection). She search for a Jamaica something I may eat (having not eaten for days). She ordered me rice and peas and curry chicken. What arrived was shocking. Chicken in some watery gravey and three boxes of rice and peas. This place is only up the road from me. Previously a friend brought me salt fish and rice and peas! Awful. I have never brought food from there and never will!!! Appreciate my daughter in laws kind thoughts. I have now informed her where me friends and colleagues eat in and get take aways. Certainly NOT jerk box!
Absolutely amazing food . We ordered a lot of different dishes and that where all very well made and served at good temperatures. The customer service was also fantastic. Not a bad word to say about this place !
I cant speak for other dishes but I ordered online the Loaded Fries with Jerkchicken and mac and cheese and LET ME TELL YOU, THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST FOOD IVE HAD IN A LONG TIME. The portion size of ( box) was hugee and the Jerk Chicken Succulent, mac and cheese I would prefer they used the tiny macaroni pasta but either way BOMBBB!!
