About Jerk at Nite
When late-night food options on Howard University’s campus failed to meet the needs of students pulling all-nighters, working on projects, and attending campus events, Jerk at Nite stepped in to fill the gap. We believe that authentic, hearty, and health-conscious food should be available at any hour not just pizza, fast food, or takeout loaded with preservatives.
That’s why we serve Jamaican-infused dishes with an exotic mix of Mexican and American soul food flavors offering a better, bolder, and healthier late-night alternative. As we continue to grow, we’re looking for Food Truck Drivers to help us bring our flavors to more locations, keeping operations running efficiently and safely.
