About Us

At a young age I lived in a small village in Jamaica known as Rose Garden. I fell in love with the Jamaican way of life and learned the secrets and techniques of Jamaican cooking.

Jamaican food is unlike any in the world. It is prepared well in advance to obsorb all the flavors of natural spices grown in the nearby mountains. The rich smell of jerk chicken slow-cooked over a fire puts you at ease and the spicy, smokey taste leaves you well satisfied.

I began The Jamaican Grille as a hobby, setting up and cooking on my own in downtown Belfast, occasionally with the help of a long-time friend from Rose Garden. As word got around, I discovered there was a desire for this type of food and atmosphere. Customers continually returned to give the food great acclaim.

Today, we tour the coast of Maine visiting fairs and special events, cooking over charcoal with authentic ingredients to share the love for Jamaican food and culture with others.

Menu

Spicy Jerk Chicken: Marinated 24 hours in authentic Jamaican Jerk seasonings and slow-roasted over charcoal.

Spicy Jerk Pork Ribs: This recipe is a cross between Jamaican Jerk Pork and American BBQ Ribs. The ribs are marinated 24 hours in authentic Jamaican seasonings and slow-roasted over charcoal. Then glazed with our special Lemon Habanero sauce.

Brown Stew Chicken: A classic Caribbean dish. Marinated and browned all-dark meat boiled down in a sauce with onion, tomato, sweet pepper and Jamaican spices.

Curry Chicken: Chopped and marinated in Jamaican curry seasoning and boiled down in a sauce with potato, thyme, and pimento berry. Because Jamaican curry seasoning has a more subtle flavor than most curries, it does not overpower the other flavors in the dish.

Fish Soup: A spicy, clear broth soup made from vegetable stock, with fresh vegetables and dumpling.
