“Jerk at Nite brings bold Jamaican flavors to life with signature jerk dishes, vibrant vibes, and unforgettable late-night experiences.
Jerk at Nite is a vibrant Caribbean restaurant bringing authentic Jamaican flavors to life through bold spices, signature jerk dishes, and a lively late-night atmosphere. With multiple locations and a growing community, it’s the perfect spot to enjoy rich flavors, great vibes, and unforgettable dining experiences.
The founder started selling his flavorful Jamaican jerk chicken from his dorm room in Drew Hall at Howard University in 2012. Jerk at Nite, was originally founded as a result of the lack of authentic late-night food options at Howard University. After 10pm, the campus cafeteria was closed and students who were tasked with writing late night papers and studying for exams were only left with greasy fast food options such as burgers, fries, and pizza. The founder was raised in a Jamaican household where he received three wholesome meals per day and fast food was a rarity.
The concept places an emphasis on healthy yet affordable Mexican, Jamaican, and American soul food which emphasizes fusion cooking. Additionally, the brand is committed to keeping products free of MSG and preservatives. Guests can expect a variety of hearty Jamaican staples like our signature jerk chicken, oxtail, jamming’ salmon and a variety of other savory dishes.”
