Tasty Island Jamaican Restaurant

I ordered oxtails dinner and jerk chicken. When I got how the food was nasty and tasted old. I didn’t get the food. They have a sign saying no refund or exchange because they know they serving old nasty food. Please do not take your business to them. The oxtails is 28 something dollars and the portion was little baby size crazy.

We tried here before and had a good experience, but today was disappointing. I ordered a combination of jerk chicken and brown stew chicken, while my husband chose an oxtail and jerk chicken plus 2 patties. It was about $70. Unfortunately, the rice tasted old and hard, and the brown stew chicken was overly salty. The jerk chicken had a stale flavor and smelled like leftover meat. The oxtail was also tough and seemed old. We called the restaurant to express our concerns, and the owner spoke to my husband. He mentioned that they had cooked the food this morning, which worried me because it raised concerns about the quality of the chicken. I cannot recommend this restaurant until the freshness of its food is improved.

Bless up the chef! This is a small authentic Jamaicans mom & pops shop. They give you that home cooked feeling. Made with love! I’ve tried most if not all of their menu. Best Curry chicken and Oxtails, both are delicious and not spicy. Jerk chicken is spicy kick! They’re A bit Pricey but well worth it being for filled with heavy food. Great portions , enough leftovers for a snack later. Try the lunch special if available. Call in your orders as to restrictions prevent dinning. Great Patties, my favorite is veggie patties. D&G KOLA champagne is always ice cold! If the prices go any higher, I’ll probably have to cook it myself. Perhaps they did not like the service. I provide details photos of they’re most popular items. Bless up! Keep in mind Some Ppl don’t have anything nice to say. I actually post the pictures or videos to help the next person have a greater experience.

I called in my order for pick up. The person who answered sounded like I had woken him up. When I came to pick up the person who helped me was kind enough but did not seem like he wanted to be there. I ordered a side of jerk wings and the small curry chicken plate. The plate comes with the entree, rice and peas, steamed cabbage and fried plantain. The wings were tender and had a smoky flavor but that sauce they put on it was overpowering and not very good. The curry chicken was tender and throughly cooked but lacked the complex flavor that I have come to expect from Jamaican/Island curry. The rice and peas were just OK, as was the plain rain and cabbage. My total was $23.90. I through the food out.

Hmm I wasn't going to leave a review because I felt like why bother since it was similar to the other ones but. 🤔We ordered 2 jerk chicken dinners and plantains. I swear we had 1 bite of our dinner and walked out. Left the food right on the table that just cost 60 bucks. Sauce horrible rice was hard chicken definitely didn't taste like jerk extremely disappointed. I swear almost felt like we was bothering them for coming.

This place is NOT good at all. I drove by multiple times and I decided to stop by and it was BAD. Walked in and wasn’t greeted at all. Seen 2 ppl sitting in the far right back corner and they didn’t say anything for about maybe 3 mins. The lady gets up and ask what we getting😳. We stayed because we were really hungry. We ordered and it went from bad to ALL BAD smh. The food was like days old food. The fried jack, festival, and chicken patty was old, hard, and dry dry. The jerk sauce was had cook flavoring but you can tell the chicken was old old. Vegetables had no flavor. Rice dry had to use jerk sauce to eat. No refunds or returns and now we know why. Definitely needs to shut down and start over. I hate doing bad reviews but avoid this place.

Combo - jerk chicken/curry goat I am embarrassed as a Jamaican to say, this is the worst jerk chicken I've ever had. People you cant mess up an icon dish that every man, woman and child wants to sample in and outside our country? From the voices coming out of the kitchen, a yardie a preparing these dishes. People, the chicken was not seasoned. It was coated with browning and soya sauce and thrown in the oven to be baked. That's not jerk chicken. The rice and peas that were served was spicy. But again, no where near to what the average Jamaican restaurant would serve for that taste of Jamaica. The curry goat was probably the only dish that was acceptable to any average Jamaican who knows their food. Our country and it's colors hold such great expectations for visitors and individuals who visit and want to taste our food all over the world. Please live up to the expectations of your colleagues back home and internationally within the kitchen. Mr Parri Jamaica.

"I bought just a side of jerk wings and rice and peas. The customer service was absolutely distasteful, just like their food. The old owner with glasses told me that if I didn’t like the food, I shouldn’t buy it again, I gave back the food and there was no refund or item exchange. The rice was dry and old as a brick, and the wings were awful with too much Lea & Perrins sauce." Do not waste ur money from here it’s not a real authentic Jamaican restaurant go to jerk hut or Calabash delicious
