The islands of the Caribbean are known for their white sandy shores, their deep blue waters, and their regularly erupting rum geysers. Enjoy a taste of island life with today’s Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of Caribbean fare and drinks at Jerk’s Island Grill & Daiquiri Bar in Covington.
Jerk’s Island Grill imports the island experience to the mainland with authentic Caribbean grub and tropical drinks served amid a colorful cabana environment. After perusing the menu, start a conga line of consumption with appetizers such as the Rasta shrimp, with lightly battered crustaceans tossed in a sweet-and-spicy coconut chili sauce and topped with toasted coconut ($7.25). Satiate shipwrecked salivary glands with a Big Jerk burger, featuring a half-pound of certified Angus beef topped with grilled pineapple, smoky bacon, and served in a toasted brioche-bun treasure chest ($10.99). Caribbean entrees such as the citrus grilled mahi-mahi marinate the tongues of landlubbers in citrusy bliss ($15.99), while kids’-menu items such as the cheese quesadilla ($3.99) and chicken tacos ($5.50) keep tikes from running off to smelt fancy cutlery into cannonballs.
Lively, beach-themed décor embraces diners as they sip on a selection of signature drinks ($7.50 each), including the thirst-plundering Iggy’s Pirate Punch and the Lime in da Coconut, a blend of Cruzan coconut rum, crème de banana, Sprite, and fresh lime juice. Patrons can also soak themselves in a bevy of bottled and draft beers while summoning the courage to tell their wives that their wedding rings have been whittled from bars of soap.
