At CK Jerk^� Shack we are passionate about great food and focus on delighting our customers with quality meals that excite the eyes, the nose and the palate.  Flavor is the goal, not an afterthought at CK Jerk Shack.  So we marinate and smoke flavor right in to our foods; BBQ sauce is definitely optional.  We specialize in Island themed and BBQ catering events requiring on site cooking and can handle events large and small.

Every event is important to us and receives our personal attention down to the last detail.  When you call you�ll be speaking directly to the owner or catering manager.  Our service is professional, flexible, personal, and proficient.  Our experience and expertise ensure you will have a memorable, stress-free function.  We want you to relax and have no problems, mon!

Order Size

Since we do not operate a restaurant on a daily basis, the reason for us cooking that day is to prepare your menu to order.  As such, our minimum catering order is $250-$500, dependent on the complexity of your order and if we have another event on that date.

Here's how to order:

• Decide on a level of service and your catering budget.
• Use the "Info Request" page to submit a catering request form to confirm date availability or use the "Book Us" page to to confirm date availability, select a catering package and plan your menu.
• Familiarize yourself with our catering policies.
• Once confirmed, secure your date by making the appropriate retainer.

• Please inform us of any known food allergies in your group prior to placing an order.

We can bring the restaurant to you, Mon!

Please note: An onsite cooking fee and transportation fee of $2.00 per R/T mile may apply to haul the shack. An 18% gratuity is customary.
