"If you like to eat jerk chicken and drink tequila, you should do so at Island Shack, a casual Caribbean spot on South Elliot. Whether you get this chicken in wing form or as an entree, it’ll be covered in a smoky dry rub and doused with sticky, spicy sauce. Bring a group to this high-energy spot, drink a Ma Gloria with watermelon and tequila, and also share some Trini-style roti and curry goat. If you time it right, you might even stumble upon a DJ, someone doing karaoke, or an impromptu dance party." - Willa Moore, Bryan Kim
