• Caribbean • West Baltimore

Booked 13 times today

Winner of the Open Table diner's choice award in 2025, Jerk at Nite, founded by Howard University students, in 2014, began as a solution to the lack of late-night food options at Howard University. After seeing peers struggle with unhealthy fast food, a small group of students, raised in a Jamaican household, started delivering flavorful jerk chicken and other Jamaican dishes from their dorm room. What began as a small campus venture evolved into a food truck business in 2015, and later, a brick-and-mortar restaurant. The menu features healthy fusion dishes, such as pimento wood smoked Jerk chicken, Oxtail, and Jammin’ salmon, free of MSG and preservatives. Now with multiple locations in D.C., Detroit and Baltimore, Jerk at Nite continues to grow and serves the community with a focus on quality and flavor. Located right across the street from Baltimore's iconic Hippodrome Theatre, this location includes an upscale experience of Jamaica. Enjoy the savory taste of our story on a plate!

We had a delicious and delightful lunch at Gertrude's after our visit at the BMA. We were greeted at the front desk and appreciated that our request to have a birthday candle included in the dessert. We each had different entrees and we tested each other's. All of them were excellent. The staff were friendly and accommodating.
