Popular Caribbean-inspired restaurant, The Jerk Shack, is excited to announce its second brick and mortar location coming to the far west side of San Antonio at 10234 State Hwy 151, San Antonio, TX 78251 as part of the new 151 Plaza development. The newest location is set to open in the summer of 2021. 

The second location will feature the menu and flavors of the original Jerk Shack that San Antonians have come to love, but will also feature an expanded beverage program with beer, wine and select craft cocktails. The new 2,200 square foot location will offer dine-in service as well takeout and will feature a drive-thru lane for convenient pickup.  

“We’re really proud of the success we’ve seen at The Jerk Shack over the last couple of years and to be able to open a second location in San Antonio is something we’re really looking forward to,” said The Jerk Shack Chef and Owner Nicola Blaque. “This is a passion project for us so we’re really excited about opening this new location.”

The Jerk Shack’s cuisine is inspired by the flavors of Jamaica and the Caribbean. Chef Blaque and her team have incorporated the flavors and techniques of Caribbean cooking into American favorites like mac and cheese, tacos and more that creates a unique blend of cultures. Of course, more traditional caribbean dishes like braised oxtail, jerk chicken and more are also available at the restaurant.

The second Jerk Shack location marks the third restaurant opening for Chef Nicola Blaque in San Antonio. In addition to her flagship location, she recently opened Mi Roti, a Caribbean-style concept in Pearl’s Bottling Department, in July of this year.
