The Jerk Pit Cafe

Based on Sean's posting my wife and I went to the Jerk Pit for lunch today. It is indeed a very nice place with very tasty food, pleasant ambience, and great service. It's open for lunch and dinner 7 days a week, and we are definitely going back. They have some unusual soft drinks, as well as a few beers on tap.
