Gas Station Spot That Hits HARD! Don't let the location fool you, Southern Jerks, is a hidden gem. The chicken? Perfectly seasoned, crispy, and packed with flavor and just the right amount of spice. Honestly didn't even need the sauces, they were good, but the chicken stands on its own. Fries were on point too crispy, well seasoned, with a nice hint of thyme. The loaded fries (jerk chili sauce + golden ranch) absolutely worth it. Also let me not forget the dirty rice; perfectly seasoned and…

On arrival I got a chance to chat with the owner. He was very personable with good vibes. I ordered the wings and a side of greens. The food was fresh made to order. The first bite was teaming with great flavor and crunchiness also juicy+ tender. These wings definitely have that wow factor😋💯. I also enjoyed the well seasoned greens. I definitely highly suggest this spot for some outstanding food. I thank my lil bro Alex for turning me on to this spot.

Southern Jerks was recommended to me by word of mouth which rarely happens, so I made it a priority to try this place out. From the get-go the customer service was stellar so I knew I'd be in for a great dining experience.

We finally made it to Southern Jerks and it didn’t disappoint. Let me just say the demand is real and earned!! The fried chicken is very tasty, crunch and flavorful. Don’t miss out on the curry ranch dipping sauce it is SO GOOD! We also ordered the jerk burger!!! Wow!!! You will not go wrong ordering either one of these. The fries were tasty as well. We did order a side of Mac n Cheese and it was good. It doesn’t give off that heavy feeling that a Mac n Cheese gives off but it was super…

I had the "just winging it" 8 piece, half spicy half regular, with all 3 dipping sauces. The chicken and fries alone are fantastic. The golden ranch, imo is the best sauce. It has somewhat of a hint of honey mustard, and I loove honey mustard. The jerk chili sauce was OK, if you're into sweet sauce. The other 1, I feel is an acquired taste; not for me but its not nasty. The service was off the chain amazing. The whole crew is good ppl.
