This spot is amazing! I literally don’t eat out anywhere unless I don’t feel like cooking. This is the only place that I go to for the fix! & they do the job justice!!! We eat plenty and it’s delicious ? I trust no other kitchen/restaurant to cook my food, only Flavors Of The Isle! ❤️❤️ I carry out most the time bc I’m always busy but we have dined in and it’s literally no difference in the service or food! Perfect date night place, colorful atmosphere, vibrant music and perfect service. They treat everyone like family and I appreciate that the most ??Dietary restrictions: They have vegan/vegetarian options that are delicious. Packed with flavor and not a forced vegan vibe.

Have not been there yet. I was at my cousin 70th birthday party, it was catered. The 2 ladies there did a great job on the food. Very good, I should visit soon. Happy New Year 2024.

Love the jerk chicken and sweet plantain, but the Jamaican beef patties are the best. OTR is such a treasure!

My husband went on 12-15-23 for lunch. An awful experience. He looks at the menu, orders jerk chicken and rice. He additionally orders a side of ox tails. The food comes out and it is comparable to a kids meal portion. He attempts to talk to the manager who was sitting eating and talking with another customer, she brushes my husband off as he was asking about the portions. Just rude!! The food tasted nasty and it was a total rip off....$32. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Oh wow. I attended an event where Flavors of the Isle catered. I cannot say enough good things about the food and the lovely women working the event. The food was outstanding! So much flavor! I'm a vegetarian too!! I typically don't look forward to events with catering because there often isn't much to eat. There was plenty and it was all delicious!
