Sandals has been adding a host of new dining options to its all-inclusive resorts of late, from a new steakhouse (Butch’s Chophouse) to a new Indian eatery.

But one of the brand’s newest projects celebrates its Jamaican identity: a jerk shack.

The newest addition to the Sandals Grande Riviera Beach and Villa Golf Resort in Ocho Rios is an authentic Jamaican jerk pit.

The Jerk Pit, as it’s called, serves everything from jerk chicken to jerk pork, in true Jamaican style.
