It's been about a decade since Jamaica Gates in Arlington was on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. We recently stopped by for a fresh look.
in Arlington is a framed photo of Guy Fieri, who visited here about a decade ago for his Food Network show,. We checked in again recently for a fresh look and found that the spot is still thriving, well into the night.
“We migrated from Port Antonio, Jamaica, in 1992," Tapper says."My mother, Barbara Allen, who is also executive chef, was the oldest of six children and has been cooking since she was 12. She wrote in her diary that it was her dream to open a restaurant.”Allen’s culinary prowess and time-honored recipes paved the way for that dream to come true. Tapper’s brother, Errol Byles, and sister-in-law, Michelle Byles, are co-owners, making this a full family-run business.
That said, we’d be remiss in visiting one of D/FW’s better Jamaican kitchens without trying the jerk chicken, right?We started with a simple Caesar salad topped with jerk-seasoned chicken strips and shrimp . The one-of-a-kind jerk seasoning is made in-house with a blend of allspice, thyme, cinnamon, nutmeg and Scotch bonnet peppers. This deliciously addictive season is a nuanced orchestra of sweet, salty, smoky and sometimes spicy.
Appetizers in hand, it was time for drinks. We ordered a couple of Red Stripes and a very potent rum punch . Jamaica Gates hosts live music on the weekends, and that night’s live act was setting up on a small stage just a few feet away.For our main, we went with the Kingston Trio , where diners choose three servings from the following: “Rude boy” jerk chicken , jerk pork, braised oxtails, brown stew and curry chicken or goat. We opted for the jerk pork, chicken and oxtail.
