Very small and efficient family run lunch restaurant. I loved how small it was because the fan cooled the whole place and you could smell nothing but the great food. For downtown jackson the prices are good and you know they have real carribeans making the jerk because they do NOT play about the spice level. The rice n peas and cabbage make more than one meal even for a big man. Definitely worth the drive and price, so I will be back.

I have had authentic Jamaican food and this does not compare to what I was expecting. $17 for Jerk Chicken and total $21 when I added juice.
The chicken was not flavorful. The cabbage was hard. Two scoops of rice and 3 very small pieces of chicken was a rip off. I was highly disappointed.

This day I went was the first day my mom and I had the time to do lunch together in a while. Taste of the island was hitting hard with the Island vibes and food. ?

The food was terrible and the customer service was even worse! I paid $70 for two dinners and drinks. Not to mention they didn’t stopped answering the phone when I called for them to rectify the problem about how nasty the food was. The only reason they got this one star is so I could leave this real review. 0/10 I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND!!
