Who we are. About
jerk at nite
Denville Myrie, Jr. started selling his flavorful Jamaican jerk chicken from his dorm room in Drew Hall at Howard University in 2012. Jerk at Nite, was originally founded as a result of the lack of authentic late-night food options at Howard University. After 10pm, the campus cafeteria was closed and students who were tasked with writing late night papers and studying for exams were only left with greasy fast food options such as burgers, fries, and pizza. Denville was raised in a Jamaican household where he received three wholesome meals per day and fast food was a rarity.
The concept places an emphasis on healthy yet affordable Mexican, Jamaican, and American soul food which emphasizes fusion cooking. Additionally, the brand is committed to keeping products free of MSG and preservatives. Guests can expect a variety of hearty Jamaican staples like our signature jerk chicken, oxtail, jamming’ salmon and a variety of other savory dishes.

One of the best Jamaican spots I’ve tried. The oxtail was tender, the rice and peas were perfect, and the service was super friendly.
