Six days in Jamaica and we ate at two different Scotchies - neither disappointed! The Festival bread was a favorite of our teenagers and you absolutely can not go wrong with the Jerk Chicken. Family of four and our bill was less than $25 each visit - that included beer and other soft drinks. Very good value and great food.... More

My family and I (myself, husband and two teen boys) had lunch at Scotchies last week in Montego Bay. We ordered a variety of items form the menu including: sausage, jerk chicken (of course), bammy, festival, breadfruit and rice. The teens ate so much I was worried they would be sick! The jerk chicken was my favorite and had an... More

I've visited here a few times and the food has always been average, on my last visit they had little choice of food left, no jerk chicken, rice and peas, corn, nothing except pork and bread fruit, which was less than average and poor value for money, i wont be visiting Scotchies again.

This was some of the best food I've had in my life!! Perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned. great sauce. Red Stripe to go with it and it didn't cost too much. One of my best stops in Jamaica this year.

INTRO -My gf and I decided to try out Scotchies in Montego Bay after reading so many positive reviews and listening to local Jamaicans rave about its taste. We were not disappointed! We made the short walk to Scotchies in Montego Bay from our resort. It took only a few minutes and was extremely safe. In fact, there was a... More

Scotchie's is a no-frills, local roadside restaurant in MoBay. If you are up for authentic food in it's natural environment then give this place a try. Prices were not cheap for what we got, but the experience was worth it. Peas and rice were a little dry but a few Red Stripes helped. This was a nice way to see... More

Scotchie's has great food! The bus driver on the way to our resort mentioned it before we even got checked in. We were with a big group, and pretty much everyone went several times and tried almost everything: the jerk chicken, the jerk pork, the pork sausage, the chicken sausage, the fish, festival, breadfruit, sweet potatoes, even the conch soup....

Several taxi drivers recommended Scotchies as the best place to purchase jerk, plus we noticed the location near our hotel was always packed with the locals—always a good sign. We stopped in and tried the chicken on the way back from a day of sightseeing. My husband loves the seasoning and has tried it from many places. He gave it... More

There were very specific things I wanted to do on our one day stop via our cruise. Shopping, beach, and Scotchies! The experience did not last long enough. It smelled so good and tasted even better! Got 2 1/4 chickens, 1 1/2 chicken, 4 festivals, and 3 drinks for $23! The atmosphere is totally relaxing, could have hung out all... More

had jerk from all over the island.We keep going back to Scotchies.Pork and chicken greatness cooked over pimento wood logs give it a wonderful smokey taste not found at other places.Plus with the sauce on the side you can make it hot as you want.We definitely like and will add this to our must eat list in Jamaica
