I'm surprised at myself for this review, since I'm usually a steam tray skeptic. However, their…read morecurry chicken was so good that now I have to reconsider that principle. If anything, the steam tray might have made it more tender and flavorful, and it wasn't at all worse for wear! But maybe the real highlight is the vegetable mix that comes with the rice, with still-crunchy celery. Plantains were tasty and soft, though not crunchy.

I never had an issue with customer service or their food, they are very welcoming. They are very…read morenice and helpful which is a blessing bc majority of Jamaican restaurants are extremely rude. Their prices are great and their portions. I been going here for over a year. The reason I gave 4 stars is because it says it closes at 830 and sometimes 930 however if I go anywhere from 5p- 7p, most of the food is gone and they're not making more.

A few weeks ago I ordered fried chicken and it was straight up RAW. I could still taste the rawness…read moreand I could tell they did not or do not clean the chicken PROPERLY before seasoning and frying. I decided after that to give them a break. I went back last night to purchase food for the 1st time in a few weeks. I bought cow foot, and man, this time, the food again the meat I should say was straight up RAW.. NOT COOKED PROPERLY.. NEEDLESS TO SAY IT GOT ME SICK!! NEVER AGAIN. TIME TO GIVE ISLAND HOUSE A WALK!!! 2nd strick in my book. No good Jamaican restaurants around, these people swear they can cook.. thumbs down!

The Curry Chicken Roti was the star of this show. Tender, flavorful, just delicious. I ordered the…read moreBBQ jerk chicken roti, expecting it to be wrapped but the roti came on the side. My Wife went with the Curry Chicken, it was so tender. Just a note, pay attention while eating your curry chicken, lots of bones!! We definitely got Caribbean vibes here, no AC. That's okay, cold water and cold beer kept us cool. Our server/ bartender was well dressed and quite attentive, he wouldn't give up his zodiac sign tho. Maybe a Virgo... The playlist was amazing, vibes were set. Parking on the street, free after 6p. Bathroom was clean but out of hand soap. I'll most likely order the curry chicken next time and go ahead and do takeout. Signed, The Happy Hour Huntress
