“Island Jerk Shack did NOT come to play.

They catered half the food at my wedding, and let me tell you… it was an absolute HIT. Like, people still talking about it kind of hit. The jerk chicken was unreal—perfectly seasoned, smoky, juicy, with that authentic island flavor that instantly transported me straight back home. 🇯🇲✨

The rice and peas? Flawless. Rich, comforting, and exactly how it’s supposed to taste. This wasn’t just “good catering food”—this was real Jamaican food, made with love and serious skill.

So grateful we chose Island Jerk Shack for such an important day. The food brought warmth, joy, and a whole lot of flavor to our celebration. If you want authentic island vibes and food that feels like home, look no further.

10/10. Would cater my wedding again. Would eat this weekly if I could. 🔥🍗🍚“

“Stopped by their new location today for some dinner for our family. First timers & we most definitely will be back! Ordered the steak & shrimp Tropi Boy, The Chick Shack Sandwich & a grilled cheese kids meal. Man o man! So so so good! The flavor of the meats are mouth watering. I don’t know what kind of sauce they use but I want more of it! Thank you for the yummiest dinner we’ve had this week! Thankfully we live close so this will become a regular spot for us. ♥️“
