About Island Fest

Island Fest offers delicious and authentic Jamaican cuisine, a great addition to the High Point scene. The restaurant serves a variety of dishes, including spicy fried chicken, cocoa bread rice and beans, oxtail plate, jerk chicken, curry goat, and beef patty with coco bread. The food is "A1" and the customer service is top-tier, with a welcoming atmosphere and well-packaged meals. The pineapple ginger juice and lemonade are popular choices. Customers have praised the jerk chicken for its perfect flavor. The homemade pineapple ginger drink is described as "out of this world," and the oxtails are flavorful and thin, complemented by tasty rice and beans, cabbage, and plantains. The beet & ginger juice is surprisingly good. The environment is calm and kid-friendly, with an outdoor patio ideal for families. The lady out front is super sweet. The food was delicious, and the owners are from New York, bringing a familiar taste of home. Ordering is convenient through the tablet. The jerk chicken and the sides with it were loved. Decent portions for the meal. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was fantastic and they got their food very quickly. Definitely coming back.

My sister and I stopped there to pick up some dinner following a HPU basketball game. We planned to get the oxtail dinner but they had run out and it was getting near closing time so they were not going to prepare more. However, we ordered the beef shanks dinner instead. It included peas & rice, cabbage and plantains. It was delicious and they were generous with the beef shank. I've been to Jamaica so I know how it is suppose to taste, The food was authentic. I highly recommend...read full review

Delicious jerk chicken, delicious curry goat. this place is on point.Can't wait to get back and try some other food on their menu. Highly recommend!

I've driven by this spot several times and have been wanting to give it a shot. I'm super glad that I finally stopped in. Oxtails … tender and flavorful. Curry Chicken … fall off the bone. Red beans and rice … soooo good. Fried plantains and cabbage ... oh lawd! All of it has me reminiscing of my time in Jamaica. If you're in or around HP you've got to check this spot out! Absolute hidden gem. Amazing food. Wonderful customer service. Go flood this place with love. Island...read full review
