"It’s no small tribute to 3 Dives that its jerk overshadows its reputation for lengthy waits (sometimes over an hour)."

"Previously featured on The Amazing Race, the 3 Dives jerk stand is named for the surrounding limestone cliffs, which provide great diving spots as well as stunning views of the sea." Full review

"It's best known for its jerk...but it also serves traditional Jamaican dishes like curried goat, brown-stew chicken, curried or steamed conch, and, in season, grilled lobsters." Full review

"It may look like a misplaced paddleboat from the Mississippi—or a tourist trap—but this floating double-decker eatery serves terrific food, and to a mostly local crowd."

"The setting for this unusual and very laid-back restaurant is a houseboat built around 1960 that floats at permanent anchor from a pier beside Freeport Road." Full review

"Half the fun of eating at The HouseBoat is the location: a floating restaurant that’s permanently moored (and softly rocking) at a pier overlooking the Montego Bay Marine Park." Full review
