Exciting news for the residents of Midtown Brandywine and downtown WIlmington, DE! We are thrilled to welcome a new addition to our vibrant neighborhood. Great Big Jerk, a Caribbean-inspired roadside BBQ restaurant, has just opened its doors at 12th and Washington in our neighborhood, right next to the Washington St Ale House. The enticing aroma of their flavorful dishes fills the air as you step inside, and you’re warmly greeted by chef owner Tim Bolt and his friendly staff.

Great Big Jerk specializes in mouthwatering Jerk Chicken, Brisket, Wings, Ribs, Pulled Pork, and other delicious BBQ-inspired menu items. Their dedication to crafting authentic Caribbean flavors will transport your taste buds to the islands. Whether you’re craving a savory lunch, a satisfying dinner, or a sweet treat, Great Big Jerk has you covered.

One of the highlights of this new establishment is the addition of gelato options, providing the perfect ending to your meal. As a bonus, the restaurant offers free parking in the lot behind the building, making it even more convenient for you to enjoy their delectable offerings.

Great Big Jerk’s operating hours are as follows: Tuesday to Thursday from 11:30 am to 8 pm, Friday and Saturday from 11:30 am to 9 pm, and Sunday from noon to 7 pm. Please note that they are closed on Mondays.
