Mark's Jamaican Bar & Grill

Nestled on University Boulevard in Orlando, Mark's Jamaican Bar & Grill invites diners into a lively Caribbean oasis where the scent of smoky jerk spices mingles with upbeat reggae rhythms. Chef Mark’s signature Jerk Chicken, marinated overnight in a secret blend of Scotch bonnet peppers, allspice and lime, is grilled to a caramelized finish and served alongside sweet fried plantains and rice‑and‑peas. Seafood lovers can savor the Curry Shrimp Roti, a fragrant mix of tender shrimp, coconut‑infused curry sauce and soft roti bread, while vegetarians enjoy the Callaloo and Ackee plate, a wholesome nod to Jamaica’s national dish. The menu also features hearty Oxtail Pasta, buttery Snow Crab Clusters, and a “Tour of the Caribbean” platter that pairs salmon, shrimp, garlic potatoes and corn for a tasting adventure. Inside, the bar boasts bamboo accents, colorful murals of island sunsets, and a full‑service bar offering Rum Punch, Caribbean King, and homemade sorrel. Prices range from $6 for a side of fried plantains to $31 for a plate of oxtail, making the experience both indulgent and affordable. Open every day from 11 am to 10 pm, the venue is perfect for family lunches, after‑work drinks, or weekend celebrations. Free parking is available nearby, and the friendly staff are happy to arrange catering for parties, corporate events, or holiday feasts. Whether you’re a local craving a taste of home or a tourist seeking authentic Jamaican hospitality, Mark's delivers a flavorful escape without leaving Orlando.
