Fodor's Expert Review Ocho Rios Jerk Centre

This canopied, open-air eatery is a great place for fiery jerk pork, chicken, or seafood such as fish and conch. Frosty Red Stripe beer and cocktails such as the special Jerk Center Cooler—a colorful mix featuring rum and vodka—are perfect complements to the island fare. Milder barbecued meats, also sold by weight (typically, a quarter- or half-pound makes a good serving), turn up on the daily chalkboard menu posted on the wall. It's busy at lunch, especially when passengers from cruise ships swamp the place.
