Island Cafe Rock serves authentic, flavorful dishes that transport customers to the Caribbean. The oxtails, red snapper steam fish, jerk chicken, and curry chicken are all delicious and tender, with perfect seasoning and presentation. The sides, including rice, plantains, and cabbage, are also tasty and well-prepared. The owners are warm and inviting, creating a fun atmosphere with loud music. The restaurant is very clean, and the ambience is warm and welcoming. While some find the food excellent, others note it can take about 30 minutes to cook, and portions like the small oxtail plate may feel limited. The jerk chicken is liked but sometimes a little dry, and the fish may not always taste fresh. Despite minor complaints, customers leave satisfied and eager to return to try other options, such as patties and seafood.
