Yah Mon Tasty Jerk Chicken - Dallas (Oak Cliff)
Has anyone tried this place? I tried a Google seach for it and it looks like it is in a residential neighborhood, again then so is Don Panza. Just wanted to see if anyone has tried it and how it might compare with Elaine's Kitchen.

The yardbird is decent, but they char-grill it. I think it would be better if they had a way to actually cook it over a wood fire -- maybe they dweet in warmer weather outside? Dunno. The place is VERY small, so everyting's to go. The owner and his wife are worth the visit alone -- both from JA. Chat 'bout music with them and you'll lose track of time. I want to go back there again soon -- it was a blast! (and tasty, too!) Bless up.. Yah mon... cool, seen?

I live in Oak Cliff, and unfortunately, Yah Mon has been closed for quite awhile now. I don't know of anywhere else to get Carribean Jerk. Anyone?

Elaine's Kitchen on MLK Blvd. Just whacking good jerk. And the brown down oxtails are a contender.

Boowida,
Carribean Pan - Dallas (Webb Chapel & Forest)
Carribean Grill - Dallas (Webb Chapel & Forest)
Elaine's Kitchen - Dallas (MLK Blvd and Hwy 175 - next to the old Forest Theater)
A Taste of the Islands - Plano (Spring Creek & Alma)
Carribean Eats - Garland (Centerville btwn Miller & Broadway)
Texas Carribean Foods - Dallas (close to South Side on Lamar)
These are all the places that would probably all sell Jerk Chicken. I really like the version at Elaine's and Carribean Pan. DiRotiman said A Taste of the Islands is real good, owned by a woman from Guyana (so pretty close to the cuisine of Trinidad).

I live in Desoto TX, there's this new place [Rock N JS Barbeque] off E Red Bird Ln. They feature Jamaican food on Saturdays and I must say the jerk chicken is off the hook it's grilled the true Jamaican way. [The way jerk chicken is suppose to be done] This is BEST I've ever had in my 20 years in Dallas.

Koolrunnin,
Could you provide an address or a telephone number so those of us travelling a long way won't drive up to a closed location? I would imagine if it is fairly new they don't have a phone number published yet. Also, do they have anything else besides jerk chicken on the jamaican menu on Saturdays (i.e. rice and peas, meat patties, callaloo, etc) Thanks for the info though!!

Please give them a call. 972-274-9021. I believe they cook to order which compliments their catering services.

I called the number it is wrong in the post above and then I called the correct number and asked if they still have Jamaican food on Saturdays and they do not. Do you have some inside info that we do not?

Does anyone know of a real nice- Jamaican place to eat? There used to a place called Kool Eats on the weekends at a BBQ place. I think its the same one from the post above?/?

I believe this is place! They are now operating as a mobile food establishment out of Desoto. The food was real nice man…I had the combination plate with Jerk chicken and oxtail, rice and peas, and Caribbean collard greens. Man it was nice, like the Calaloo with the coconut cream, and it had the right spice to it. Check out their website www.kool-runnin.com. The jerk chicken reminded me of chicken from back home in St. Anns Ocho Rios! Oxtail- the best ever- the meat browning sauce is real nice.
Peace and one love
Irie man
