We were giving a training class for around ten people at a business on Guam. I asked the local students where they would like us to buy lunch and several said the Jamaican Grill. One of the office ladies got on the phone and ordered lunch for our group. She ordered five Family Platters ($49 each) consisting of 1 whole Jerk Chicken, 1 full slab of Ribs with plenty of rice and a separate plate of House Salad. I drove over to Jamaican Grill to pick up the take-out order. The place is located on the second story of a building sitting in a parking lot next to the Orchid Hotel and across from the Pacific Island Club Resort. I walked up the stairs not knowing what to expect. I found a huge covered outdoor patio that leads to a very bright and cheerful interior dining space. The entire staff smiled and welcomed me. I told them that I was picking up an order and boom it was ready. Paid the tab and they brought the food downstairs to the parking lot near my car. Turns out the restaurant has a take-out kiosk in the parking lot. You can literally drive up and pick up and pay for your food. There is really no need to walk upstairs to pick up your take-out. I drove the food back to the office not knowing anything about what was ordered or what it would taste like. Did not have a clue what a Family Platter was. Just knew that I had five of these platters in my trunk. Was surprised to open the packaging and find a really well presented pile of Chicken, Ribs and Rice. My mouth was watering when I saw the food and the bottle of Jamaican Grill Hot Sauce that the Manager had included with our platters. I poured the hot sauce on the chicken, ribs and rice. Everything was delicious. Wish they had a Jamaican Grill in Hawaii. I would visit quite frequently.
