A Passion for Authenticity, A Legacy of Flavor

Rodney's Jamaican Jerk & BBQ is a labor of love, founded by Richard Rodney, who grew up surrounded by the rich flavors and vibrant culture of Jamaica. From a young age, he was drawn to the kitchen, where he learned the secrets of authentic Jamaican cooking from his family. These early experiences ignited a lifelong passion for food, driving him to perfect the art of creating traditional dishes with a modern twist. After moving to the United States, Richard noticed a gap in the market for truly authentic Jamaican cuisine and, fueled by his love for sharing Jamaica's bold flavors, he founded Rodney's Jamaican Jerk & BBQ in 2009.

Starting as a small food truck, Rodney's Jamaican Jerk & BBQ quickly gained popularity for its mouth-watering jerk chicken, succulent BBQ, and unique Jamaican dishes. Over the years, Richard’s commitment to authenticity and excellence has driven the growth of the business, making it a beloved staple at local events, football games, and community gatherings. Through his dedication to quality and the cultural richness of Jamaican cuisine, Richard continues to honor his roots while expanding his culinary offerings, always with the goal of bringing people together over great food. Rodney's Jamaican Jerk & BBQ is more than just a business—it’s a celebration of Jamaican culture, brought to life through every dish we serve.
