a meal in a styrofoam container
Nicholas S.

I love the oxtails over the rice and peas with some fried ripe plantains, the portion of food that you get is very good!

Curry chicken and Mac and cheese
Storm C.

Babe grabbed some quick dinner for me last night. Their curry chicken is delicious. It's seasoned perfectly along with the potatoes. However, the Mac and cheese left much to be desired. It looked and tasted like old government cheese was just slapped on there- definitely not your mama's three-cheese baked mac and cheese. The rice had an old taste too. I prefer my Jamaican go-to spot Island Treats in Burlington overall.

This this small Oxtails with peas and rice ... sweet plantains

So far to be honest you guys have been the most consistent and great authentic food is a winner. The prices and accommodations are good too and is my family new go to for Caribbean food

Curry chicken w/ fried chicken rice and beans and plantains.
Don B.

This restaurant is in the heart of Willingboro right next to papa-johns. I eat here all the time because I love authentic Jamaican Food, this restaurant stands out compared to the other Caribbean or Jamaican restaurants in the area. They have the true Jamaican flavor and taste. The fried chicken is even good. You must try the curry chicken with rice and beans, or the oxtails, jerk chicken and other great dishes at this restaurant. They also have patties and cocoa-bread. If you catch the natural blend juices of Irish moss and Cucumber-ginger or Carrot-ginger which is my favorite on the right day you will like them as well. I come to this restaurant at-least 2 times a week or 4 -5 times out of the month. Real good Jamaican food yum........

Stew with yams. This is half the portion of the size small. Plenty!

Stopped by for the 1st time on Tuesday (9/4). I had been…read morelooking for good Jamaican food ever since I moved into Burlington County from Middlesex. The restaurant is small and reminded me of the small spots I stopped in during my trip to Jamacia. I met a sweet lady and asked if they made Rotis, and to my surprise she said YES. Only problem I wanted goat and she only had chicken or oxtail. I tried the chicken and decided, WTH, i'll get a few patties and some rice. OMG!!!!! The roti was absolutely DEE-LICIOUS!!! and so much that I couldn't finish it. The pattie was also wonderful!! Meat seasoned perfectly w/out being spicy hot, the crust was flaky w/out being soggy... "gobbled"! Needless to say, i'll visit again and would recommend to anyone looking for real jamacian food.

Ever since I laid eyes on Island Treat on my commute to/from work...I had to try it. The other…read moreday, a buddy and I went over for lunch. Island Treat is located at the end of a 5 store shopping strip. The front windows are plastered with calling card ads that many international/ethnic groceries would have. The interior consisted of a long counter filled with various Jamaican/Caribbean products. The woman working was very friendly and greeted us with a large smile as we walked in. The menu is on a small "bulletin board" with only a couple options. They offer Jamaican/Caribbean dishes such as jerk chicken and curry goat, as well as offering beef patties. You have the option of three different sizes, small, medium, and large. I settled for the jerk chicken and a beef patty. You also get a choice of two sides with your meal and I got rice and beans (one side) and cabbage. They also have other sides like collard greens, macaroni and cheese, etc. The whole meal came out to be less than $6 (I'm pretty sure). Back at the office, I started with the beef patty which was made well (if it was even made at the restaurant)...it was flaky and tasted great on the inside...unlike some of the ones I've had in the past. The jerk chicken was pretty good. Tasted great with the rice, beans, and cabbage. The small size take out container seems really tiny, but at the end of the meal I felt full. Verdict? Definitely a keeper. While not the best jerk chicken I've had, the service was quick and friendly and more importantly the food was delicious and a pretty cost effective lunch option.

One night, We wanted jerk chicken...we'd already had the other spots in our area with the same ole…read moresame... I just decided to look up anything else and came upon a take‑out Caribbean spot this Saturday night, and it was our first time there. I ordered the jerk chicken Rasta pasta (1st time btw), due to the dish. Everyone makes it differently...and my husband got the large jerk chicken meal with cabbage, rice and peas, plus two beef patties with coco bread. The wait was pretty long, not gonna front...about 20 -30 minutes, but honestly, I'd wait twice as long for food this good!!!! Wow! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and exactly the kind of authentic Caribbean cooking we've been missing. Fresh peppers on the Rasta Pasta!!! Yes! I thank you Chef! We moved here from Bergen County well over six years ago, and have been craving certain cuisines. So finding a place that this hits the mark like this feels like a win. The jerk chicken was so tender with real spice and depth, the Rasta pasta was perfectly creamy and perfectly seasoned, and the patties were spot‑on. Finally!!! It really Gets expensive driving back and forth to NY! So thankfully this place opened so close to other cities. This place is officially in our rotation.

I was in the mood for Jamaican food and by following the " 3 1/2 " star theory had the BEST meal…read moredelivered from Caribbean Joy! The portions were great (which we know can be questionable at Jamaican restaurants) and the food .... SLAMMING! You could taste just the right amount of the coconut milk in the rice and the stew chicken fell right off its bones. We will definitely be ordering or grabbing takeout from here again.
