Located only a few steps from Marlee Avenue, which should have been called Marley Ave, considering the Caribbean cultured area, where else would you expect to find the best jerk chicken!?!
And their 'best' jerk chicken is incredibly tender, well seasoned and loaded with sauce. I personally prefer my jerk wet rather than the traditionally dry-rubbed style.
I've returned to Rap's many times and even brought friends there; after my trip to Jamaica, I've been hooked on the jerk spices... I've even started a collection in the cupboard and fridge.
But nothing ever compares- this is the best jerk chicken I've ever had... including what I was served in Jamaica!
I will always stop in here if I'm passing by, even if just for take-out to toss in the fridge and reheat later! -

With a hankerin' for some authentic jerk, I thought I'd give Rap's a shot. After reading the reviews, I had to try.
Well, it turns out I didn't have a great experience. I'll try it again in the future but I chalk my less-than-perfect experience at Rap's up to the fact that I got there right at noon.
Due to that fact, I assume I was served yesterday's jerk. Nothing was ready except the jerk chicken, oxtail and plain white rice and they wouldn't sell me a Festival because they were stale. When I got back to my office, my work bud's serving of chicken was literally twice that of mine. Although it really was tasty.
Sorry Horace! Maybe next visit, I'll be able to bump ya a couple stars. -

I had a craving for jerk chicken tonight, did a "yelp" search and found RAPS... I would cross town for their jerk chicken!!!
It's that good... -

I'm a big jerk chicken enthusiast and this is by far the best place I've ever tried (that includes Jamaica). I've only tried the jerk chicken and curried goat and both are consistently earth shattering. I usually ask them to pour some curry sauce on the rice, because it's the best thing in the world. No joke, I can drink it!
It's a takeout kind of place, but luckily I live really close, so I frequent often. If you're a girl 9 times out of 10, you'll probably get hit on by the clientele, or by the adjacent barber shop scene outside, but it's part of the whole experience. The guy behind the counter (maybe the owner?) is a sweetheart and blesses me every time he serves me. In the summer, the scent is so intoxicating since they cook the food right outside. It's hard to stay away. -

Best Jerk in the city. Hands down. Cooked 'Island Style' in a large drum BBQ outside. The meat falls off the bone. Very limited seating.
