Jerk Flavors Restaurant & Lounge

Iconic/NotableMarkham (suburb) · Caribbean/Jamaican Community-sourced, unverified
📍 3039 W 159th St, Unit B, Markham, IL 60428

Jerk Flavors Restaurant & Lounge brings a genuine family-owned taste of St. Ann, Jamaica to 159th Street in Markham — jerk chicken is the namesake dish, but oxtail stew, curry shrimp, and catfish all get real mentions across its roughly 190 reviews, and the 4.0 average holds up across a decent-sized sample rather than resting on a handful of ratings.

$$
A real, family-owned Jamaican kitchen in Markham tracing back to St. Ann, Jamaica — jerk chicken is the headline dish, oxtail stew and curry shrimp both get real repeat mentions.

It runs long hours for a suburban storefront — 11AM to 9PM most of the week, a shorter Sunday — which fits a lounge that's built as much around hanging out as around takeout. One real wrinkle worth knowing before you go: sources disagree on the exact suite number on 159th Street, so it's worth a quick call to confirm before you drive over.

No website or social accounts could be confirmed despite a dedicated search.
