*****UPDATE NOW CLOSED FOR BUSINESS*******D’s Jerk Hot is a small casual Caribbean Restaurant located in Phoenix Arizona.

It very casual. You order at the counter and seat yourself or do take out.

It looks like they serve food sort of cafeteria style with an oven to keep dished out orders hot.

It also looks like music might be preformed here?

The menu is large with lots of variety. I like how some of the main dishes are offered in small, medium or large sizes.

They offer the more seafood dishes than from other Caribbean restaurants that I have been too and also some dishes that I have never tried before.

We shared a lot of things.

I tried the National Dish of Jamaica called Ackee & Salt Fish and something called a festival. Both of these foods are new to me.

WOW! The medium size is much larger than I thought it would be.

The ackee is that stuff that looks like scrambled eggs but is actually a fruit. It doesn’t taste like much by it’s self…….the yellow ackee taste and texture is most similar to silken tofu and the salt fish taste similar to anchovies but maybe a little more fishy. The cabbage is well seasoned and the rice & peas are delicious. The small yellow fried pastry taste like a corn meal doughnut that is a bit dense.

We also sampled the jerk chicken and the curry dishes in small size. (The small size is bigger than I expected too)

The curry chicken is delicious. It falling right off the bones and is well developed with flavors. I like that it is saucy with a few potatoes in it too.

The Jerk chicken is different. Every place makes jerk chicken different. This one is FLAVORFUL and delicious but is more delicate with seasonings and heat than other jerk chickens that I’ve tried. I tell The Forking Truth so I have to add that this batch is dry today. Maybe tomorrows batch is better like the curry chicken.

We both have never tried brown stew chicken (medium sized) before.

Just like everything else we got another very large portion. The chicken is SUPER falling apart tender and is infused with all KINDS of flavors. It is really good and delicious but is also full of bone fragments everywhere.

That was my trip to the newly opened D’s Jerk Hut in Phoenix.
