Jerkcue: where Jamaican spices meet American barbecue

Experience a vibrant fusion of warm island spices, sweet heat, and rich smoke. Jerkcue brings you dishes that feel familiar yet exciting, celebrating both cultures in every unforgettable bite.

Our story

Jerkcue was born from a passion to merge the fiery soul of Jamaican jerk with the comforting embrace of American barbecue. Our journey began with a simple idea: create a culinary experience that honors two distinct traditions while forging something entirely new and delicious. We believe in crafting food that tells a story, a story of flavor, heritage, and innovation, right here in Atlanta.

Our history

From humble beginnings as a pop-up sensation, Jerkcue quickly became a beloved fixture in Atlanta's vibrant food scene. Our signature jerk-seasoned meats and barbecue favorites with a tropical twist captivated palates and built a loyal following. Every step of our growth has been fueled by a commitment to quality ingredients, authentic flavors, and the joy of sharing our unique culinary vision with the community.
