A fresh new spot is set to open its doors in Jamaica this summer, bringing bold and soulful flavors to the neighborhood. From the talented team behind BowlBites in Ozone Park, Slaps, a deli and grill concept, is preparing for its long-awaited debut.
At the heart of Slaps’ appeal are their triple smash burgers and loaded beef patties, with juicy, seared-to-perfection patties and layers of melty cheese. But the indulgent menu doesn’t stop there. Customers can expect loaded fries, oversized sandwiches, and honey jerk chicken wings, all with an explosive flavor. Served in a casual and welcoming setting, Slaps aims to reimagine favorite comfort foods with a bold twist.
“We’re excited to bring something new and exciting to Jamaica,” said Kevin Baksh, co-owner of Slaps. “This community has supported us since our BowlBites days, and we’re proud to expand with a concept that’s all about great food and local flavor.”
Co-owner and head chef Michael Saroop, who developed much of the menu, emphasized the thought and care behind each item. “ Everything we serve is made with intention, from our smash burgers to our wings. We’re passionate about flavor and committed to making Slaps a place people look forward to coming back to,” Saroop said.
Located on 90-01 Merrick Blvd., Slaps is expected to open this coming month. With a focus on quality ingredients, generous portions and a friendly atmosphere, it’s set to become the next go-to destination for food lovers in Jamaica.
