This place is the Cayman equivalent of that really good take-out Teriyaki joint you find in the States. Huge portions of well-prepared meat accompanied by rice and cole slaw. Dinner and enough left over for lunch tomorrow. Yummy.

Happened by here while exploring. Great food and good prices. Jerk chicken and pork smelled, looked and tasted great. Also attached Biggies BBQ, only on Saturday noon to 4 PM.

We have been visiting the Cayman Islands since 2015 and Rankins Jerk has become our go to from all the places we have tried. Some hole in the wall spots are not the nicest to tourist yet, at Rankins, the service is always great! They are kind and helpful. Now, on to the food… my husband is a jerk chicken lover and the chicken flavor and spice is by far one of the best on the island! The macaroni salad, the red bean rice, oh my goodness!!!! So delicious! If you are staying in Seven Mile, it’s worth the drive!

Rice and Beans
Stopped here based on the reviews. So disappointed. There small jerk chicken plate had good portions, but so bland. The chicken was tender but the food had no seasoning. Waste of money I just threw it away.

Rice and Beans
Since they refurbished, their service has been horrible. They have the daily menu on the glass but you still have to sort your way through a white board on the floor to make an order. The white board is not organized and the meats are located under the heading ‘sides’.
The staff had a bad attitude and there is no way my food should be shared like pig slop. The rice and the meat was placed In one side of the plate and two tough plantains tossed on the side. The plate of Oxtail was $14 with no choice of small or large. It was poorly prepared with a bunch of fat on the meat. For $14 you would at least expect the food to be presentable. I got back to work and started eating my food and felt for a drink… sadly I found that my drink was expired since September 6th.
Rankin’s is now lacking on customer service, presentation and preparation of the food. Please fix this cause rankin’s used to be really good.
The food is authentic and delicious. Rankin's has vegetarian and vegan options.

Curried Cauliflower with Rice
This was the type of food I wanted. Great, cayman style jerk meats.
I ordered the jerk pork, and my wife got the chicken. Both were seasoned nicely, the pork was so tender, and minimal bones with the right amount of heat. I got rice and beans and they were seasoned right, the beans were buttery and the rice was cooked perfectly. We both got festival (fried dough dumplings) and they were the good, not the best ever, but good. My wife had the coleslaw, it was creamy, but not gloppy, and her chicken was juicy, seasoned nicely and good portion. They offered vegetarian specials too like curried cauliflower with rice.
If you find yourself on this side of the island, have a meal here with so many of the locals.

Rice and Beans
EXTREMELY tasty and wonderfully cooked jerk chicken! The right blend of spices and perfectly tender chicken was falling off the bone and made you want to slap somebody.
The red beans and rice was cooked just right, not too dry like a lot of places, but moist and flavorful.
Do NOT pass this place up! A definite MUST GO!
