Jenny's Restaurant Rumors

Actually not rumors at all, but in fact the truth. Jenny's Restaurant and Famous Cakes has been a Negril mainstay for decades up until Jenny's son Jacko retired last year. The restaurant , a favorite of both tourists and locals, has been closed since then. Well, Jenny's will be reopening in the middle of July under the direction of Jenny's daughter, Dawn, who owns C & D Country Western Pub next door. The word is that Jenny's and C&D will be under one roof. The Restaurant will definitely be open by ATI weekend according to my reliable source (Dawn). Can't wait to get me some ackee and saltfish from Jenny's

been going to Jennys since 1984...love their "wares"..:)

Thank you Jah!!! I absolutely adore Miss Jenny's. I'm sure Dawn will do a wonderful job preserving this West End institution. Keeping family involved is a great decision. Looking forward to visiting often in Dec. Last summer and Dec 2011, they were closed and it about killed me! Pray they keep that wonderful lobster salad on the menu. Thanks for the update Negril Bill! :)

This is good news ! :-). Jenny's has great food ! (curry goat) mmmm...
Oh, and..."save the cake!".....

"God Save the Cake"

Hey Negril Bill - hope all is irie w/you. Thanks for the update.

THIS MAKES ME SOOOO HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This place sounds good,is this where the famous"cheese cake" came from?any other "varietys"available?

yes good cake, 1 type only........

Yes Marko, we also love the breakfast, sitting there watching the world go by, with the fan lightly blowing across your face, sending those cooking smells out into the street......years back you could sit out front.... but traffic got too dangerous...heres what the cake making looked liked in the late 80's.........

Have done a spice cake at Jenny's every Feb for a birthday boy that began traveling with us in 99, we were early this year and didn't need the earth day cake, but the experience was always soft and easy, order 1 day pick up a beautifal cake and small bag of flower a couple days later,,,,,

Is Jenny not kin to Mrs. Brown and Ted?

Respect,
Col. Andy & "Wildcat" Pam

I think so...I do believe that from Tayons to Jennys are relation of one family......(Smith used to comment "3 groups settled in Jamaica) so everybody close to somebody...:)

Yeah!! Good news indeed.
We stopped by last December and found them closed :(
Will definitely be making a stop there on our next trip.

Last February Jennys was closed and her daughter was operating next door.

Ah for days when Jenny would laugh at us red eyed lion's craving a peice of her marble cake. I can taste it now. I can see that smile!

Looking forward to a slice of Special Cake.

Talked with "Connie" Sunday and she's raring to go, hoping her friends will support her.........One message for those excited about the expansion/opening..."The Strong move quiet and the weak cause riots"... Everyting said, does not always need to be said....

Blessings....
