During my visit to Las Vegas from Los Angeles, I had the pleasure of discovering Midwest Jerk & Greens. I sampled their jerk oxtails, mac and cheese, greens, and jerk wings. Everything was exceptional! The oxtails were tender and full of flavor. Initially, I was hesitant about the mac and cheese, but it turned out to be delicious. From now on, whenever I'm in Las Vegas, MJG will be a must-visit. I highly recommend it—10/10! Additionally, the owner is very friendly and personable, which added to the overall positive experience

Best oxtails in Vegas. Great portions and food has that cooked with love feel. Honestly never had anything I didn’t like. One of the best spots you can go to if you’re looking for great soul food.

They catered my wedding reception recently! The food was AWESOME, 10/10. Professional & great people, would highly recommend. All my guests couldn't stop stop talking about how good the Mac & cheese was

The short rib was the perfect texture: soft but not falling apart. Good balance of salt, fat, and acid. Green beans were not overcooked. Mac... might be nostalgic for someone else
