A really nice treat for our first visit to scm. Everyone working was smiling, really nice and helped us figure everything out since it was our first time there. This was even better than it looked! the waffle was just as good as the chicken I almost wish I got the jerk version for a little spice with it. But it was absolutely killer! I look forward to coming back.

I had their special today — Mango BBQ wings + cornbread and mango salsa. Absolutely packed with flavor and the presentation was on point. Also the portion size was very generous for the price. I will be a repeat customer from now on.

If you have never had authentic Jerk Chicken, Erma's is an excellent place to start. The chicken was tender with lots of spicy sauce. The beans and rice were sweet with the flavor of coconut. The plantains were a bonus. This is the kind of meal I would eat everyday. Don't forget to try a Jamaican Patty as well.
