Mama Jerk N Tings is an other food place in Waukegan, Illinois. It is listed at 226 N Sheridan Rd, Waukegan, IL 60085, which places it among the local businesses of Waukegan that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by. Google also lists it under american restaurant, which is worth knowing if you are comparing several options in the area.

This group holds listings that did not fit cleanly into a food or drink category, mostly businesses that were pulled in alongside a restaurant in the same shopping plaza or that combine several kinds of service, such as a market with an attached clinic or a strip-mall unit that also does phone repair or tax preparation. The details here come from the public listing rather than a curated food write-up, so treat the category label loosely and check the business's own hours and services before visiting. Some of these are legitimate neighbors of the food businesses on this site, such as a nail salon or a laundromat in the same strip mall, while others are simply miscategorized on the source data and worth a quick call to confirm what they actually offer.

The business lists hours on 7 days of the week. On most of those days it is open 11 am–8 pm. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. The listed phone number is (224) 656-6632. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone.

Its Google rating is 4.0 out of 5 from 205 reviews, a solid but mixed picture; reading the most recent reviews will tell you what to expect.

Waukegan is in Illinois, in the Midwest, where summers are warm, winters are cold and snowy, and most errands are done by car; businesses keep steady year-round hours with the usual holiday changes. Traffic in Waukegan peaks on weekday mornings and afternoons, so allow extra time then. Addresses read from the street number up to the city, state abbreviation and five-digit ZIP code; the map link on this page shows the exact spot.

Today was my second time ordering food from here. Jamaican restaurants are known for their lack of great customer but both of my experiences were poor, even given those standards. First meal, the food was tasty. Worth the 35 minute drive from my home and back. My second experience - I tried ordering 4 chicken patties and was told it would be a 35 minute wait since there weren't any made. I obliged, paid for my food, and went to my car to wait. 25 minutes later I return to be told that the 'person who was supposed to make them clocked out'. I was given the option of a refund or I can order them again and wait another 35 minutes. I decided on the refund and a commitment to not return. The food was good but not THAT good.

Do NOT waste your time or money at Mama Jerk N Tings! This place is an absolute insult to Jamaican cuisine. The oxtail philly was not only devoid of any flavor but also contained a bone that nearly shattered my tooth – an unforgivable oversight! The curry goat tasted like it was seasoned with absolutely nothing, and the rice and peas were equally bland. But the real kicker? The atrocious customer service. We waited forever for our food while the staff horsed around in the back. When we finally got our disastrous meal and tried to address the issues, one of the servers literally turned her back on us! My wife, who is Jamaican, was utterly disgusted by this mockery of her culture's food. Dropping $115 here was like throwing money into a black hole. Save yourself the disappointment and go anywhere else for your Jamaican food fix!

Absolutely phenomenal Jamaican food! I tried the jerk chicken and the flavor was perfect—authentic, perfectly spiced, and so delicious. The sides like the rice and plantains are outstanding too. Although they serve fish on the menu, they dont cross-contaminate. Love their new location on Sheridan Road with the expanded seating. Highly recommend!

Everything besides the aesthetic which was nice. Everything else felt bare minimum. Not to mention I paid $35 for ox tail pizza and order had none of the toppings I ordered even though the receipt is on box . But I was hungry and had to eat didn’t even time to go back . Oh well . Hope you guys do better .
