The jerk sauce immediately took me back and the chicken was super tender. The candied yams were sweet but not over done. The beans and rice needed more flavor so I added the spicy jerk sauce. My hubby enjoyed the patties. The storefront is located in a strip center off of Rt 38 and Rt 47 with parking in front. Few seats inside so we took it to go and had a picnic. Ask for extra napkins and two forks if you plan on sharing. .

Ya Mon...this place is legit!…read more I am so glad my fellow Yelpers told me about Island Express in Elburn Illinois. Authentic home style Jamaican food with Island Flavor at reasonable prices. Mainly a takeout place with limited counter seating,each meal is prepared fresh. Jerk Chicken,Curry Goat and Oxtails are just a few of their Jamaican dishes. We tried their Veggy Patty and Chicken Patty. Flakey crust loaded with flavor. I didn't care for the chicken patty as it was chicken curry which I'm not a big fan of..wish it would have been listed on the menu in a different way. Ordered a side of their spicey jerk sauce which added additional flavor ....bonus! Also had their Medium Jerk Chicken platter with sides of red beans and rice and sweet candied yams. Everything was delicious. If you want to experience good Jamaican food minus the sand,ocean and Red Stripe Beer,this is definitely the place to go.

Spiced nicely that wasn't over the top, I got extra spice sauce which was amazing but again it didn't overpower. The fish was a challenge to get around bones at first but in no time into the flesh and it was so moist and well seasoned. Sides of cabbage and rice were delicious and a great complement. It was pricey but each was easily shareable by 3. Get to the next pop up. It is crazy good.

Shout out to the best Jamaican/Caribbean restaurant in Chicago, for Oxtails!!!!…read moreI had the absolute pleasure of patronizing this restaurant 2 days ago. I ordered an Oxtail dinner with Cabbage, and Plantains. OMG!!!! The meat was literally falling off the bones!!!! TENDERNISM!!!! The Cabbage was tasty & seasoned (most Jamaican/Caribbean restaurants don't "normally" season the veggies well - from my experience), and the Plantains were soft and sweet - just how I like them! The rice, that comes with the Oxtails, had the most tasty Au jus from the Oxtails. OMG!!!!!! And the portion was AMAAAAZING!!!!! I had visited 2 other Jamaican/Caribbean restaurants prior to this one, and was severely disappointed! I am what you would call, an "Oxtail Connoisseur," and every state that I visit, I try the restaurants that are considered to have "The Best Oxtails." Well, I have found the best, and I refuse to try the rest! I am here in Chicago for another 2 weeks, and I will be ordering from JH's Jerk Grill a few more times, including today! If you love Oxtails - GO! You will NOT be disappointed! Oh, make sure you order ahead, as the wait can be lengthy.

Great flavor and I didn't even need the sauce but the sauce was a nice to have if you need it. Jerk egg roll 6/10: nice size egg roll full of chicken but the chicken was a little dry for my taste. I'd go back for the tips and to try the plantains.
