Ive recently been back to Scotchies on a late , early july evening.Nothing has changed since my last comments, only gotten better.And i even had the distinct pleasure to buy my favourite bartender, the lovely Roxanna a drink.The evening was breezy, cool, and seductive, you all need to come and enjoy.SCG.Miami

scotchies is great ! i go every year

Scotchies is absolutly the best jamaican jerk, and the Drax Hall location, especially late evening into twylight, then night, has an ambience incomparable.On a moonlight night the balmy breezes tease you with their jerk drenched flavours,and if you are imbibing some noble jamaican spirits,then you will be in jerk heaven.A good receipe to try at Scotchies in the evening, is (for one) 1/4 lb. jerk PORK with two(2)
Appletons on the rocks, with hearty dashes of angostura bitters.This is a marriage made in RUMJERK heaven.Try it!!
And if you have the pleasure to be dining by the rustic well stocked bar, you may ask for the lovely demure,ROXANNA.
She is a GEM,gracious and efficient. ENJOY. SCG.Miami,Fl.

We became fiendly with one of the employees at Mystic Mountain and she offered to take us to Scotchies as it was only 5 minutes away. It was fantastic. We love spicy food. We tried the pork and chicken and both were amazing. Good people, good food!

I am Jamaica and I like jerk chicken. Scotchies is absolutely the best jerk chicken in JA. It give Boston a run for its money, even the pepper sauce. the white meet is highly favoured and seasoned to the bones. I would recommend to anyone....people who like jerk and perople who are not so fond of jerk. I am planning my next trip to Ochie just to go back to Scotchies.

Wonderful food! I can't get enough of it! The most tender succulent pork and chicken!

I love Scotchies Jerk Chicken. It's one of the most inexpensive meals and most flavorful places to get Jerk Chicken. The chicken is always juicy and succulent and a great representation of Jamaican Jerk cooking.
The only snafu is that on occasions, they may run behind in having chicken cooked, and you'll have to wait for the next batch to be prepared which could take about an hour. This has happened to me on two visits to Scotchies. But, they also have Jerk Pork, and Chicken Sausages to order.

Ever since planning my trip to Jamaica, the one food I was so excited to try was jerk chicken! Since Scotchies is a "Breezy's Favorites," it was definitely a place I needed to try. This is a very casual outdoor restaurant. You first have to wait on a line to place your order. My friend and I ended up ordering a whole chicken, 2 festival and two bottled waters, which came out to $1100 Jamaican (around $12 US). When you get your receipt you walk down to the open cooking area and hand it to one of the guys who gets your meal ready. They literally take your chicken and cut it up with the huge meat cleaver right in front of you on a tree stump! For some reason I thought this was crazy! We sat in one of the three gazebo areas. There are around five large tables in each area so you may need to share a table with other people, not a big deal.
Now the food: The chicken was absolutely amazing, the best jerk chicken I've ever had! It was moist and juicy, even the white meat! If you love your food spicy, they have this pepper sauce that I'm sure you would love. I tried it, but it was too spicy for me:) My friend usually uses dipping sauces to add more flavor, but she didn't need it with this chicken! I've had jerk chicken at Jamaican restaurants in NY, but nothing compares to this place. The spices along with the smoky flavor was so good I couldn't stop eating! I thought that with getting a whole chicken we would have some leftovers for a midnight snack, but that didn't happen. I can't believe we ate a whole chicken and a festival (a sweet hard bread that goes so well with the flavor of the chicken!) for about 6 bucks US a person, what a great deal!
It seems like Scotchies is a place where the locals go for good food. If this place is good for the people who live here, it must be the best! It is definitely a restaurant I would recommend to anyone who will be around the Ocho Rios area and wants to have affordable authentic jerk chicken!
