Great Big Jerk Wilmington, nestled at 1204 Washington St, impresses diners with its authentic and flavorful BBQ, earning rave reviews from locals. Many patrons commend the brisket, touted for its tenderness and perfect meat-to-fat ratio. Mike Mckenna highlights the vivid authenticity of the BBQ experience, noting that even the sweet tea and desserts are top-notch. Vanity Constance enjoyed their door dash lunch special, featuring fresh, hot dishes like half-pound brisket accompanied by vibrant sides.

Cass Norton and Kortney McLaughlin echo similar sentiments, consistently praising the tender ribs and side dishes such as crispy Brussels sprouts and sweet potato fries. However, T Washington points out some inconsistency in the side dishes, suggesting that the collard greens and macaroni could use more attention. Despite this, he appreciates the great service and private atmosphere, ideal for takeout. Overall, Great Big Jerk Wilmington seamlessly combines authentic flavors with a welcoming environment, making it a must-visit for BBQ enthusiasts.

The brisket is so tender, and flavorful I literally come for that alone. I’ve never had the chicken their sides are a hit and miss though unfortunately. Sometimes the collard greens are great sometimes it taste like they can be cooked longer it just depends on who’s making it I believe . And the Mac isn’t flavorful or creamy or like the real soul food way which kinda sucks because it would make this place sooooooo much more a hit ! If it was and consistent on the sides. But all in all the service is great and the atmosphere is pretty private every time I’ve came usually can have your space because most people just get take out. So if your in the mood for brisket definitely come try them out

Absolutely love this place! The ribs are always tender and the brisket has the perfect meat-to-fat ratio. Their crispy Brussels sprouts and sweet potato fries are our go-to sides. This is always our first choice when family's in town!

Update: I tried the brisket dish, the meat and the brussel sprouts were delicious! The 1/2 pound brisket was delicious! Juice, tender, and very flavorful. The person on duty was very friendly.

As a lifelong Delawarean, I can say this place is a hidden gem. The staff is so lovely, and it's very convenient for a quick dinner after the YMCA. The Bang Bang friend chicken is nuts, the pulled pork is excellent, and they might have hands down the best sweet potato fries ever. Go for the weekday deals; they have crazy specials, some of the best in the city for sure. 10/10

My daughter and I stopped buy this spot on our way back to N.J and we thoroughly enjoyed the food! My daughter had ribs and I had the jerk shrimp. The shrimp is very flavorful and if you are not into spicey this is the dish for you. My daughter enjoyed her ribs as well.
