JRAMA’S SOULFOOD GRILLE & BARBECUE PIT STILL GOING STRONG

First, let’s get this out of the way: Jrama’s is still open at their Front Street location. This place has been around for a couple of years, but we somehow neglected to stop by until recently. While we are not the first (nor second, nor third) to recognize Jrama’s, we must concur: this place is great. When we pulled into the parking lot and saw someone outside manning the grill, we knew we were in for some serious food. Then we learned that the outdoor grilling is a year-round thing: they grill in the snow, people. We tried some specials: fried softshell crab and barbecue beef links. Both dishes came with cornbread (delicious), as well as sides: coleslaw, baked beans, mac and cheese, and collard greens that were perfection. And, of course, they’ve got wings, and a couple of kinds of fried chicken. They even serve up jerk chicken as a special. We could go on, but it’s probably time for you to get some soulfood.
