Yum Yum Ice cream & Jammin’ Jerk

Jerk Oxtails! Hmmm....One of my favorite ice cream places called Yum Yum Ice Cream (old school drive thru/sitting area) closed a few months ago and was recently replaced by Jammin' Jerk in Miami Gardens...I thought.....NOOOO!!! The ice cream was sooo good and I was thinking "not another jerk spot" LOL I gave Jammin Jerk a try to support during their grand opening and I was left underwhelmed. I remember that the chicken was tender but needed more flavor....spice blend, spicy, smokey, a distinctive flavor....Last week I read that my favorite Yum Yum Ice Cream was BACK (Yessssssssss) combined with Jammin Jerk... Jammin Jerk is promoting their new Jerk Oxtail dish that piqued my interest...just like curry oxtails. I just purchased a half pound of jerk oxtails with two sides....Corn and Rice n Peas....came with bread (assuming hard dough)...I didn't open it. Sorry! They also have festival, jerk chicken and pork. Small menu....The corn was delicious! Fresh, slightly sweet and flavorful. The rice was fresh, soft with an odd small amount of peas....needed more coconut, thyme, scallions, berries...So the star of the show....The Jerk Oxtails....Hmmm it's the same critique as the chicken. It has potential! It's good but not great! I hardly tasted the "jerk" flavor. It was slightly smokey. Tender but nothing special. Great customer service and fun for all families.... Ratings Yum Yum IceCream - A+ Jerk Oxtail C+ / B -

Honestly for $16.99 (a large jerk chicken) it was not worth the price … the portions are extremely small for the price and as for the taste the chicken was extremely dry and tasteless and the plantains were hard and cold and the festival wasn’t soft and felt like I was biting into a piece of brick. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone that wants authentic Jamaican food and this is a review coming from a Jamaican.

Just left here and ordered the white meat, jerk (chicken only). It came up to $22 for basically two pieces of breast meat cut up. The portion is so small compared to other places, I don’t see how these reviews claim to be so good.

Best ice cream n jerk in miami gardens

Great customer service Great food

They still have good ice cream and them jerk tails were on point

Jerk wings and rice & peas were delicious

I am sure that this shop should have been in the shopping center cause it's slowing and stopping traffic from going up 183rd and Miami Gardens Dr. We already have Popeye's doing it. That was a big bad idea for that shop. Don't know why Miami Gardens city hall let them to do that knowing the traffic that goes up that drive street.!!! They really need to move them so traffic can go thru like it post too. I'm so glad they are gone, Prise the Lord ...

Delicious!! Quick, easy and tantalizing to the taste buds!
