Island Express Restaurant Reviews
This food tastes amazing. It filled a missing piece to the area’s restaurant scene, nicely. Everything is good, not just the chicken, the yams, rice and beans, patties, EVERYTHING.
Delicious food! My husband and I split the chicken and shrimp platter. The Jerk sauce is amazing, just the right amount of heat! The green beans were crisp, the red beans and rice was amazing. Easily split the platter between the 2 of us. For the same price of any fast food in the area we got healthier and more flavorful food. Next time I am trying the curry!
The food was so good, hot, and seasoned to perfection. And to top it off the prices were reasonable. So glad my daughter found you. I highly recommend and 10 stars!

The Island Express Restaurant offers a delightful Caribbean-inspired dining experience. Their signature jerk sauce, freshly prepared in-house, adds a flavorful kick to their menu, including the popular jerk chicken. Sides like sweet potatoes and cabbage complement the dishes perfectly. The restaurant provides a great alternative to fast food with its home-cooked style meals and generous portions. The prices are reasonable, and the freshness of the ingredients is evident in every bite.
The restaurant has become a local favorite, with regulars returning for the ox tails, rib tips, mac and cheese, and delectable patties. The brown stew chicken has also received high praise from first-time visitors, who have enthusiastically recommended the restaurant to their friends and family. The food is all homemade, and the sides are the stars, with outstanding and reliable options. The jerk chicken, goat curry, and ox tails are particularly praised for their succulent, balanced, and flavorful qualities.
