The atmosphere is great and service also.But the food was not it. I ordered a large oxtail and white rice and it cost 21 dollars. Imagine ny disappointment in tasting the food and its salty. I'm jamaican so re the saltiness the other flavors were overpowered. I did call the restaurant to let them know that this was the case. The young lady stated "no one has complained about that today.... . but next time they would give me something on the house". The response for accountability wasn't satisfactory in my eyes. There won't be a next time for me.Great spot nonetheless.....but the food needs to be tasted while cooking it.....

I placed a catering order for my son’s 1st birthday and it was such a hit! My friends and family devoured it and even asked for to go containers for the small amount of left overs we had. We ordered the jerk chicken, fried chicken, mac and cheese, rice and peas , fried plantains and beef patties. My guest loved the sauce they served with the jerk, it was incredible! My only regret is not grabbing some Togo menus or business cards, as everyone was asking where it was from wanting to go on their own.The staff were so friendly and accommodating. When I walked into the restaurant for pickup the first thing I noticed was how clean it was. It’s small, but cute, and huge in flavor. Everything was fresh and warm. I honestly can’t give it more praise. A perfect experience.. no complaints at all! Thank you to all the staff!!! We will be back!

This place was disgusting. The max and cheese was not it. The oxtail was sweet. I have had way better Caribbean food.

Will always support my people plus the cabbage is the BOMB ?
I recently tried island grill Caribbean food. I was extremely skeptical walking into the place. Papers laying on the floors, dust literally everywhere I looked. Empty dessert fridge, empty beverage fridge. Just looked dead. Placed the order with a very rude young lady smh…. The food…. Let’s just say McDonald’s would be a step UP…. Save your money and time and just head to he nearest McDonald’s, you’ll be happier then trying this place!!!!

I’m not even sure how they got 4.2! The meat was super dry and tasted day old! The rice was clumpy and stale! They didn’t act like they even wanted to serve me! But was quick to take the money! The customer service is less than great… just ehhhh all the way aroundGo some place else! Or just know you’re wasting your money!

I purchased the j*** chicken and it was not fresh. They reheated the chicken and poured a lot of sauce on top. The chicken was dried out and burnt. I stuck my fork into the meat and my fork broke. I’m a cook I know when chicken is reheated. This wasn’t the first time they’ve done this. It happened twice to me and I tried giving them the benefit of doubt but no I’m not going back there anymore.
