Grandpa Hanks Jamaican Kitchen

From a Caribbean person, don’t do it if you want authentic taste. They were cheap on the ox, and way too much gravy, which made the rice soft. I’d suggest putting sauces on the side and if you’re going to put less meat, add more veggies.

This restaurant is inside of the Holiday Inn in Sterling, but is only a carry out service within the O'Malleys Irish Pub. This is not what I was expecting at all! I wanted to take a friend of mine, who is Jamaican, that was here visiting. We were both taken by surprise but decided to try it anyway. They only allow you to order it as carryout and you cannot eat inside of the restaurant. We ordered Jerk chicken leg quarters (comes with rice, beans, cabbage), beef patties, and a jerk chicken sandwich (similar to a club sandwich) with a side of yucca fries. We ate in the hotel lobby since we couldn't eat it there. My friend said the look was ok, it had a glaze appearance, and the taste was similar but different spices were used. He said it was still good but not a true authentic taste. I enjoyed the sandwich but it literally was like a grilled chicken, but the yucca fries were tasty. The beef patties were spot on though!

This was the best jerk chicken I have ever had! Even the cabbage had more flavor than any cabbage I have ever eaten. I’m really glad I found this place on door dash. Thanks grandpa Hank!!!

This is not a Jamaican Restaurant!!! I had the oxtail and it literally tasted like they put a pound of sugar in it!! The jerk chicken pizza had barley any jerk flavor. I don’t think the cooks know what they’re doing and if they even know anything about Caribbean food. If could give negative stars I would honestly DO BETTER GRANDPA HANKS!!!

I ordered ox tails, rice and peas, chicken patties, beef patties and coco bread, but the food is TOO SPICY did not enjoy any of it, except the coco bread. It was too expensive also. Will not order from there again.
