Island Shack

Caribbean restaurant · Fort Greene

@infatuation

"Island Shack is a lively spot in Fort Greene with chicken that's good enough to give you and your sort-of-friend something to reminisce about the next time you awkwardly run into each other. Whether you get their jerk chicken in wing form or in larger pieces over rice, it’ll be covered in a smoky dry rub and doused with sticky, spicy sauce. There's enough energy here to keep your conversation from getting too stilted, and this might even become your new "spot" for more vague, future plans that probably won't happen. " - Hannah Albertine, Bryan Kim, Neha Talreja
