I cannot find anything good to say about the Pork Pit except maybe we went on an off night and its cheap.

“Amazing”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 April 2013

If you like Jerk Pork you'll love this! Food was amazing, football on the TVs round the bar and ice cold Red Stripe what's not to like?

“Pork is a must”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 April 2013

We fell in love with jerk and this place came highly recommended. My girlfriend had the chicken which was a bit dry and lacked flavor. BUT, that is NOT what they are known for. I had the pork and the flavor was simply amazing. Had it earlier today and am seriously thinking about a evening snack back there, since I'm... More

“Fresh Pork and Chicken right of the grill”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 April 2013

Great food and cold beer. What else is there to say? Don't but the CD of music from the guy near the bathrooms.

“Great Fast Food”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 April 2013

Some people may have wrong expectations about this place: This is not a restaurant but a fast food place Jamaican style, you pay first, then pick up your order directly from the grill. The food tasted excellent, our jerk pork + chicken was juicy and amazingly flavorful, though we had the strong impression they use MSG, not something we really... More

“Just Ok...Nothing More.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 April 2013

I found 'The Pork Pit' no more than Ok. My chicken was dry as an old shoe, but my jerk sausage was Ok. It wasn't late so that doesn't account for the food being overly dry. My pork was just Ok as well.

“Really good authentic Jamaican Jerk”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 April 2013

Our cab driver took us by there for no additional charge on the way back to the ship. The order system is a little confusing. For your meat, you have to take ticket to the fire pit and get order filled. Keep in mind, no one in Jamaica has change. It's quite a scam, no matter where you go. We... More
