So I would like your opinions on the tastiest barrel jerk chicken and its location. Someone who puts good effort into slow cooking with seasoning. Not impressed with sauce from the jug poured on the chicken as your order gets foil wrapped. I am looking forward to the responses. Thanks boardies.
Biggas
I'll second Bigga's, in Green Island on the inland side of the road right at the 23k to Negril sign.
Our Driver (Linston) suggested we try StepAside last trip. It was so good we stopped several times during our stay. Can't remember exactly where on the beach road he was located, but I'll be sure to find him again next trip.
Tony's next to the No Limit...
Marshalls Step A Side... Can always catch him on Thursday night outside the Jungle
Who does that? Just pours sauce on? never seen it done, but it strikes me as a bad practice.
I agree with the other posters about Steppa. As Honey said, just outside The Jungle and a little south. I've tried the chicken from many vendors over the years and Steppa's is my fav. Just found him this February. Attachment 41582

He always has a lot of taxi drivers and locals stopping by for his chicken.
Best In The West out of the dozen or so that I've tried over the years. Their white meat is never dry and the flavor is all the way through the meat. Sauce is always on the side. Then again, good barbecue don't need no sauce.

Where is Bigga's? There is a Bigga's in Negril, if I recall. It's not the associated with Bigga's in Green Island, I don't believe.
I believe all Bigga's mentions are for the man in Green Island.Quote:

Love Step Aside - visit Marshall several times each trip.
Bigga's and Best in the West are our favorites.
Our driver Ashton's Pitt's requirements are a clean soup pot and a place to wash hands, Bigga's passed on both items.
Our fav is Eddies De Bar. Very similar to 3 dives but Eddie doesn't have the crowds like his brother so he can get it right every time.
Biggas in Green Island was the first jerk we had on the island. I'm not sure if we got a bad one or what but it was dry dry dry. I wouldn't go out of my way for it.
Tony's is good but I need to make sure to tell him no ketchup otherwise it comes covered with it.
Best in the West is really good.
Bourbon Beach also has a different but very good sauce they serve with their chicken. The chicken itself is average but I can't get enough of that sauce.
Where is Marshall (Step-a-Side) usually located? Thanks!
Stepaside is usually right near Alfred,s.
Best in the West across from Coco la Palm has been our go to jerk chicken vendor. Keith is eating 3 square meals a day, plus one 1/2 jerk chicken dinner from Best in the a West as an afternoon snack!! Their sauce is a delicious slow burn and the chicken is moist.

Multiple questions
First, Stepaside - coming from Best in the West, is he on Manly Boulevard and how much further? What time does he usually have food ready?
Second, Bourbon Beach - where is Bourbon Beach in relation to Stepaside? And what time do they usually have food ready?
Planning a jerk expedition for the second week in September.
Thanks.
What's the going price for a half chicken from a barrel man these days? Remember to only accept the juicy one!:)

Step a side
The last few times we stopped at Biggas we were highly disappointed in the chicken, soup however was good after we asked him to heat it up.
I go with Step a Side and Best of the West. Went there several times last reach.
I use to work in the restaurant business and am very aware when I purchase prepared food of the condition and practices of the eauipment and people doing the cooking.
I was impressed by the guy at Best in the West. I could tell he was doing things right as far as cleanliness goes and the chicken was wonderful!
Best in the West for chicken .................... BUT do NOT try the pork ................ it was the worst we ever had ............. huge pieces of fat covered in jerk sauce ............ NEVER AGAIN
The lesson learned ----- "Never buy jerk pork at a stand that only advertises jerk chicken"
if you really want the best find this master chef Attachment 42153Attachment 42152
