Who's got the best jerk chicken on Negril Beach?

[Laurel]

{{Marley}} ... I just LOVE hearing you chat up Bigga!! YeeHaa ~ he is always my first stop on arrival as I am typically passing mid afternoon and not on a Sunday!!

That said ... same as the others mentioned ... 3 Dives (Llydie & Paula) - loads of folks complain that they haffi wait too long for their food delivery there ... truth be told ~ I have never let that bother me. Gosh - WHERE do folks have to get to next?? Have a couple drinks and enjoy each others company and vibe! relax! it is Jamaica! 3 Dives will always be a favorite of ours.

I have heard wonderful things about De Bar ... Eddie of course is Llydie's brother ... keeping it running in the fambalee ... excellent quality product there as well. I only visited De Bar once for Spratt's Fund Raising Party ... they offered goat meals, not being an eater of goat, I went off the grid and ordered a chicken meal for myself - it was excellent as I expected it would be at a price we had no problem paying. not sure what it was, I don't handle paying for things myself - Mr. paid ... but I suppose the price was comparable to 3 Dives - and their prices are not the cheapest, but we are not concerned with the cheapest.

we don't stray far off the path of tried and true ... Mr. has known Llydie & Eddie forever - so we go to them on the cliffs, and of course Marshall / Step Aside barrel on the beach road.

Here's pics of Bigg's Chicken Barrel in front of Hidden Paradise.

Thanks for all of the recommendations. Bigg's on the way into Negril sounds like the perfect welcome home on way home to Negril!

We've tried to get into 3 dives but it's always been too long of a wait just to get a drink ordered. Most likely where going at the wrong time. We'll need to make another attempt this year.

I must have caught 3-Dives on an off night. I tried it last october because everyone said it was so great. It took an hour and was dry and bland. I will give it one more try next trip, but I like about every single place listed in the above posts better then 3-dives...at least for jerk chicken.

justchuck - I have to agree Bigg's chicken is FANTASTIC and the most juicy I have tasted. He's also a great person to chat with.

I should add that he usually has it ready around 6:30-7:00PM and well worth the wait.

Each eatery has their own version of jerk. I cannot pick a favorite but will say that Best of the West and Rainbow Arches is my pick on the beach.

3 Dives for sure. Bigg's barrel yes but haven't been to him in a long time. Have to get my fix of chicken from there this yr.
Still have to try DeBar too. They weren't serving when there last for some reason unknown.
Bigga's on the way to Negril yeah nice and HOT! Gotta have a Red Stripe with that Jerk for sure.
And who ever said it....... Mine's pretty good too!

Cheers

I think it depends on the mood...
Biggs, After the bars. But also just right. Great sauce!
Ossies, in the afternoon and a few beers.
Best in the West, just about anytime!
3dives, when I'm in the area.
Burbon Beach, depends on the cook. Hasn't been that great in the past three years. (To me, sauce to hot, not consistant. Chicken undercooked at times.)

I know this didn't help, but it personal chioces, and now I'm hungry!
