Was excited to visit the pork pit based upon reviews prior to traveling to MB. However, the jerk pork was very fatty and they were out of just about every side dish. The chicken was very good. Prices are very reasonable. Might give it one more chance.

We stopped at the Pork Pit as part of a busted excursion attempt. We had our entire day pretty much rained out, and spent some quality time getting harassed on the Hip Strip. Having worked up a hunger our van driver suggested that we could stop by the Pork Pit as a consolation to not making our crusie that day.... More

If you like Jerk Pork you'll love this! Food was amazing, football on the TVs round the bar and ice cold Red Stripe what's not to like?

We fell in love with jerk and this place came highly recommended. My girlfriend had the chicken which was a bit dry and lacked flavor. BUT, that is NOT what they are known for. I had the pork and the flavor was simply amazing. Had it earlier today and am seriously thinking about a evening snack back there, since I'm... More

Great food and cold beer. What else is there to say? Don't but the CD of music from the guy near the bathrooms.

Some people may have wrong expectations about this place: This is not a restaurant but a fast food place Jamaican style, you pay first, then pick up your order directly from the grill. The food tasted excellent, our jerk pork + chicken was juicy and amazingly flavorful, though we had the strong impression they use MSG, not something we really... More

I found 'The Pork Pit' no more than Ok. My chicken was dry as an old shoe, but my jerk sausage was Ok. It wasn't late so that doesn't account for the food being overly dry. My pork was just Ok as well.

I ate 2 meals out of 2 days stay at Montego bay, it was recommended by a random tour guy, I have to say it's delicious! we ordered chicken, pork, chicken wings and plantains, I love the jerk chicken the most, it's moist inside, crispy outside, very evenly flavored, I wanted to have ribs so badly but both time they...
