“Food and drinks… absolutely amazing!“

“Best Jamaican food in the DMW and I have have tried them all. Run don’t walk if you want authentic Jamaican food. You will not be disappointed. The food is consistent and flavorful. I have had the brown stew fish, brown stew chicken, oxtail and curry chicken. All have been outstanding. They have some specials that I keep missing because it sells out by lunch time. I cant wait to try the stew peas special on Weds that they make with oxtails. The owners look like they take great pride to ensure the food is always quality. This is my forever restaurant for good authentic, quality Jamaican food.“

“This place was recommended and I am so glad we tried it. Healthy food. So many options. I ordered the Jerk Mango Salad. I didn’t change a thing and wouldn’t. Perfect kick without being too spicy. Mango salsa was the best I’ve had. We also ordered the BBQ bowl. I wouldn’t change a thing in it. Try the Red Rice. It’s really good. Staff was quick, explained the menu and ordering process and also offered a taste of you weren’t sure you’d like something. 10/10. I’ll be back again.“

“It’s an almost club like atmosphere with the freshest most delicious food. It is a bit of a wait but it is well worth it because of how delicious the food is and the generosity of the portions. We have done dine in and takeout here and every time it was delicious.“

“I tried the curry wings and ?️GOOD LAWWWWWDY MY LEGS GOT WEAK‼️ That HOMEMADE sauce will introduce you to LOVE! If you haven’t, this place is definitely worth a try. This spot is like the song you skipped and later found out it was fire?. When you bite into the wings you get a bold boost of flavor that rhythms through your body. Then we get to the spicy part that’s spicy but still enjoyable! Please Support Bleu Iguana, ITS WORTH YOUR TIME AND BELLY! ???“

“I was in the mood for Caribbean food last night. I was nervous because I live in Silver Spring and it's been a while since I've found a good spot. I found D&G Caribbean Grill on Uber Eats and read the reviews. I ordered the brown stew chicken, curry chicken with cabbage, rice & peas and coco bread. Everything was delicious! Since I don't drive I will definitely be ordering again.“

“Excellent Cuban Food and great friendly staff.“

“Friendly employees and delicious drinks“

“just want to say thank you to chef Dwight for an amazing birthday party the food was fabulous everyone love it and they like your stile it's not the regular jamaican food thank you.“

“The food is really good the Mac and cheese was my favorite probably because it was unexpected from a restaurant but it really is homemade (like Thanksgiving homemade)!

My only complaint is that the rice was a little hard and the customer service with the checkout personnel was inattentive I’m big on customer service interactions when I’m spending my money somewhere. (Could be I came 20 mins after opening) They were although kind in greeting and departure

Other than that the oxtails were very tender (fall off the boat melt in your mouth type) and meaty avoiding much fat that’s usually with this meal from other places , and I believe the portion were okay for the price. The gravy was well seasoned.

I had the agave vanilla soda with a splash of root bear, IT WAS SO GOOD! Never had it before.

Overall the atmosphere is good , has lots of seating in an open area with a TV, I watched a basketball game as I ate. Music was ofcourse Caribbean music which I enjoyed also.Food was also really hot and ready to serve no wait! Meal Price ~ 27$
Parking may vary“

“My wife and I have been tempted to stop by for a long time — tonight, we made it happen. And, it is all about the food — soup, entrees, dessert — all so incredibly good. Okay, nice interior, lots of seating, an intriguing bar, and kind wait staff. We will clearly return!“

“From the moment I walked through the doors to leaving. From the first bite to the last. Oneluv Reggae is five star all the way. My daughter and I eat here regularly and enjoys the meals every time. From one Jamaican to another, or just a guess looking for something enjoyable to eat this place is highly recommended. The energy is down to Earth and the price is right. Thank you Oneluv ❤️“

“I had jerk sandwich and a piece of rum cake before shopping.Very delicious 😋“

“The Food was super good and he was super nice and very cozy inside but the only problem I have is that I don't really like the hours he only works and on Saturday it says he was open he never was that's the only thing that's wrong and I wish he was open on weekends“

“Wow wow wow!!!!!!!! I expected to like the curry chicken but this was the best food I have had in YEARS. 20/10 stars!!! I had this from the Petworth community market. I will be following them wherever they go!!!!

I was not asked to write a review. The food was so good I googled to find their reviews and leave one.“

“Love this joint! Food is fresh - and here's a rare word these days - plentiful!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Island Quizine Jamaican Restaurant is a true gem in Maryland. From start to finish, the customer service was nothing short of amazing warm, attentive, and filled with genuine island hospitality.

As a native New Yorker with real Jamaican roots, I’ve had my fair share of Jamaican food, but this spot truly stands out. The patty was hands down the best I’ve had in Maryland flaky crust, rich filling, and seasoned to perfection. It reminded me of home.

The curry goat? Absolutely incredible. Tender, well-seasoned, and cooked just right it fell off the bone and was bursting with authentic flavor. The jerk pork was smoky, spicy, and juicy, exactly how jerk is supposed to taste. Every bite was a reminder of how Jamaican food should be done.

Petrena deserves a special shoutout. From the refreshing sorrel to the sweetest mangoes, she delivered service with a smile and made the whole experience even better. She’s a star and really brought everything together.

If you’re looking for authentic Jamaican cuisine with top-tier customer service, Island Quizine is the place. They’ve earned a loyal customer in me, and I’ll definitely be back“

“They say: Good things come to those who wait! It was an exceptionally long wait, but, also the best authentic Jamaican cuisine that I’ve encountered in MD thus far.“

“Good food, professional service and, the best Coco Bread in town!👌🏾💯“

“Delicious meal. This woman Joan can cook. Everything was cooked to perfection, tender tasty. I ordered Egusi soup!!! She was kind and had great service too. It’s also one of the less expensive places I’ve seen. I’ll be gone my back today.“

“Food is really good, one of the best African restaurants I been too, not too many African places can make good tasting food, this is my 2nd best place.... I went yesterday and had the Jolloff rice with goat meat, and my domestic partner also did too, goat pepper soup, pounded yam and egusi soup. The lady their is really nice too, good customer service.“

“Terrible customer service don’t waste your time“

“The veggie patties are great but the service could use a bit of fine tuning. A hello and thank you for coming in would have been great!! I like to feel some level of appreciation for spending my money somewhere. The two hour round trip drive makes this point even more impactful 👀👀👀“

“Awesome food, great service & awesome energy!!!“

“I love ❤️❤️ your tasty food.i will definitely come back again and again.You rock 👍“

“I will say my first visit was decent with Kia and her service skills are absolutely fun while being helpful. I did not get the round ball that I ordered but I came out with a lot of food and drinks. However the LARGE Oxtails was very lacking on amount vs the price point and plantain is a separate purchase instead of a few pieces on the meal. The Akee and Saltfish had 2 or 3 dumpling underneath so very little ackee and Saltfish for that price. The Jerk Mac and cheese was on the almost stale side. I wasn't fond of their brand of Sorrel as it had a weird after taste. Didn't like either the fruit nor the other rum cake but those are not their fault as they are prepackaged options. The gentleman there was helpful in packing my huge order but sadly I won't be returning. Money spent there vs value was very lacking.

Parking: Decent amount of parking shared with other businesses in the strip shopping center“

“I used to live in this area, and for the last 10 years I haven’t found anybody within three hours of my new home who makes or sell goat soup. After a full decade of disappointment, I finally decided to make the 3.5-hour pilgrimage back here for their Tuesday goat soup. And let me tell you… I’m glad I did.

First things first: the place is exactly how I remember it. The bathroom situation? Classic. You need a key attached to a five-pound bar, but the bathroom is CLEAN, so I’m not complaining. The cashier? All business with no small talk or smiles. To be fair, they were never the warm-and-fuzzy type, so I’m not docking any points off. Not personable, but efficient. Our order was correct, the wait wasn’t long, and he included a sufficient supply of napkins and silverware (which ended up being crucial to my survival).

Because listen… Ithanks to a few reviews I was fully prepared to just open that cup and drink it straight. The reviews had me thinking I’d be lucky to find one lonely piece of meat floating around (see photos). Total opposite. THANK GOODNESS he gave me utensils because I would’ve choked. This soup was packed. Full of meats, potatoes, and carrots. And the broth? Warm, peppery, loose, savory—pretty close to perfect.

Now the only con: this pot was SALTY. So salty the mutton flavor didn’t just get overshadowed—it got evicted. The ancestors definitely went home mid-seasoning. But you know what? I’m not deducting a single point. Somebody clearly lost their life flavoring this pot, and I’m going to be grateful. When I warm it up, I’ll just drop a couple ice cubes in there—cool it down and stretch the salt out at the same time.

Inside the restaurant is simple, clean, with a small dine-in area and a Bob Marley mural that fits the vibe perfectly. After reading the mixed reviews, I was hesitant, but I’m glad I trusted my cravings instead of the internet.

Will I make this 3.5-hour trip again this winter?
Absolutely. For a cup of their goat soup, I’ll fill up the tank every Tuesday.“

“Best Jamaican restaurant I ever been to.“

“Best Jamaican food spot in Maryland. I have had everything on the menu at least once and the food is authentic. Seasoning on point. Jerk pork…jah jah!! Mouth-watering…I felt like I was eating jerk on the roadside on Spur Tree! The price is high…but worth every single penny!“

“Sooooo great! Fantastic food and drinks. Wow just wow!!!! And Gabrielle was fantastic!!!“

“Imma hip you now, the tostone nachos with the shrimp *chefs kiss* and their spin on. Eggs Benedict is also good. Beautiful food that's looks just as good as ot tastes.

Kid-friendliness: During a certain time of day its family friendly. After 5pm it's still a chill vibe but remember adults don't give a jolly good damn bout your kids. I came to drink FINE DRINKS LIKE IM NOT IN DC??‍♀️“

“Great restaurant Lounge with a variety of delicious food. A very friendly customer service that appreciates all customers. Try their spicy goat and suyer, and you'll thank me later. l.“

“Simone, the owner, is outstanding in customer service and attention to detail. She treats every customer like family. Sitting in the backyard area was like walking into a paradise.“

“Go there for great coffee all day“

“Quick service, food is great.“

“What a nice spot. I read the reviews and HAD to see if they were telling the truth… The Mac and Cheese was AH-mazing definitely NOT from a box! The Popeye smoothie was so good and refreshing. I also had a jerk chicken salad. Although just a salad it was still packed with delicious flavor. Jerk chicken patty was on point and super fresh. I will definitely be back for more!!!“

“I love ❤️❤️ your tasty food.i will definitely come back again and again.You rock 👍“

“Well I ordered a beef roti and got a chicken roti. It still taste delicious but not what I wanted. The goat roti was everything. The pholourie was life!“

“I visited here on accident and was pleasantly surprised. It's very small, but the drinks are affordable, delicious, and the DJ knew what he was doing. It wasn't many people in here so yall come and support so we can keep this gem alive!!“

“Absolutely delicious! I was at an event tonight and this was absolutely the hit. The stew and curry chicken was tender and well seasoned. The portion of food was very generous considering the price (I came back for seconds to go). The owner was personable, kind and hardworking. Definitely worth following this food truck around the DMV. Well done!“

“My sister and I try out new jamaican food spots a few times a year but this spot has not been topped yet. Appreciate you Jamaican Country Kitchen!“

“I’ve been going to Caribbean Superior since 2016. I’m a regular for their breakfast, patties, and soups. The food quality has remained solid. However their portion sizes are not consistent (and far as protein goes) and have become significantly smaller since May. It’s either raise the prices or make the portions smaller, but doing both is a little crazy and it makes it difficult to continue to be a patron here.“

“I just had the most delicious meal from Da Jerk House in Suitland. The curry chicken was absolutely outstanding—rich, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The gravy soaked into the rice beautifully, the vegetables were cooked just right bursting with flavor.

The jerk chicken was spicier than my palate usually prefers, but it was so good that I found myself going back for “just one more bite” again and again. The smoky, bold seasoning was addictive.

They put they foot in it! Authentic flavors, generous portions, and food made with care. I will definitely be coming back to Da Jerk House for more of that amazing curry chicken (and maybe to test my spice tolerance with the jerk chicken again!).“

“The best jerk chicken in the entire DC area... hands down. The meat is fall-off-the-bone tender, and the seasoning brings that perfect heat that makes your mouth burn just enough to keep you coming back for more. Absolutely delicious every single time.“
