Oh my goodness, there's so much I can say about this food. This is the best Jamaican food in town. My first experience with this food truck was trying the jerk chicken, steamed cabbage, and rice and peas at a pop up event. The smell from my plate filled up my car and I was so excited to try it as I had heard so many good things. My initial assumption was correct the food will make you do a little happy dance. You can tell they really care about the flavor and freshness. The rice and peas had the perfect pinkish tint and a subtle coconut flavor slightly sweet and creamy with the perfect mouth feel when you chew, if that makes sense. A savory, buttery, well seasoned steamed cabbage. I don't like cabbage from anywhere or anyone else, this is this the only cabbage I will eat. Then the Jerk chicken is perfectly seasoned with a nice char to it. The spice/heat kind of sneaks up on you. You'll definitely be licking your lips from the heat but also the flavor, it's a very specific flavor that only a select few can duplicate. I've had a few other experiences with this food truck. Ask for the Pesci platter with an Island Breeez, you will not regret it. I've also had the privilege to experience their private catering where I had a real Jamaican breakfast which consisted of brown stew kidney, yellow yam, boiled green banana and boiled dumplings. The food was so filling and flavorful leaving me with energy and not that sluggish feeling. Cooking is really this chef's gift. My favorites from Queen's Island are the pesci platter, the jerk chicken and the oxtail with all the sides. Queen's Island cuisine has top notch customer service they are friendly, communicative and responsive.

Had a religious experience while eating the curry goat. Amazing food and you get a lot for the price and quality.

So delicious! The curry chicken, rice and peas, and plantains are all so flavorful and the island breeze is so sweet and refreshing, next time I’m gonna try the snapper :)

SO delicious. I literally inhaled my food!!!!!! I’ve always been told the food was phenomenal and it definitely is! The j*** chicken was so tender it slid right off the bone and there was SO much flavor in every bite!!!!! I had the j*** chicken, Mac n cheese and plantains. Red beans and rice included. Every bite was perfection. My mouth and stomach are so satisfied. Thanks Queen!!!!!

This is the best jamaican food you will ever taste when u eat the food it’s feels like Jamaica. Don't get me started on the lemonade it’s so refreshing. It reminds me of my Jamaican culture.

11 out of 10 stars. Amazing food, and you get so much of it for the price! The drinks were great, too.

Horrible service. Or should I say no service. We Waited over an hour and never received our order. They never explained why. I watched countless people who had ordered behind us get their meals. And when I asked, they said I was next. But nothing. Big waste of time. Not a good business at all. I don't think they will last with such poor consideration for customers.

We were delighted to welcome Queens Island Cuisine to the Montford Park Players amphitheatre this summer, and the audience just raved about the food!We were so impressed we hired them to cater our dinner when we co-hosted the National Conference on Outdoor Theatre in October, and, once again, universal praise from our participants from around the country!We're doing our best to get Queens Island Cuisine back on a regular basis to the theatre next summer!!
