    Oxtail Dinner Special with collard green
    Juanita S.

    Was craving oxtails one Sunday afternoon and lucked up on this spot! It's been about 5-6 years since I've last been here but I remembered them to be be great and this visit did not disappoint! You have the option to call in your order, which is recommended since the inside space is limited. We decided to actually go in and take a look at the impressive menu on the wall. Just a side note, most Caribbean restaurants run out of oxtail by noon! The Island Crew not only had a plentiful amount in the afternoon, around 4, but they did not skimp on the potions! If you take a look at the picture, I received an unheard of amount! Gravy everywhere and the oxtail was LEAN- another plus! Don't forget to check out the banana pudding in the refrigerator! Another plus. We ordered the conch fritters as well and they tasted like we were on vacation! Don't sleep on this Tampa gem!

    Vegan options
    Megan T.

    TLDR: Vegan Devil crab!!! Do it! Best jerk chicken in Tampa & complimentary water ice. We first tried island crew back when it was a food truck & I am so thankful they are still sharing this amazing food now at a new more permanent location. We drove 40mins to have dinner here tonight & it was so worth it. Solid portion size & super friendly service. Plenty of vegan options & the flavors are unmatched. Spicy jerk chicken & Cajun rice with cabbage, yummm. My husband had the chicken curry with red beans & rice, I of course tried it & man, it was so good. Parking can be limited as it's a popular dining option on a Saturday night, but do not let that deter you. It's a must try!!! This food smelled so good we couldn't even wait to take a picture before digging in.

    Conch Fritters
    Reen K.

    You must wear your masks in order to come in. This is a 6 feet social distance restaurant so that everyone will stay clear of the Coronavirus When placing an order, you will receive a free icee. Yummy! 5 stars for sure. I had a taste for conch salad and conch fritters, so I found this place on Yelp. It's not to far from my daughter's house, so I was happy about that. Let me tell you, my grandmommy is from the Bahamas and when I tell you this taste like her conch salad and conch fritters, Lordy :-). I love Caribbean food and since that's what my family cooks a lot, I was definitely glad I stopped here. Next time, I'll select everything I ordered and will order Mac and cheese and shrimp and grits.

    the menu for the restaurant

    Of all the Caribbean cuisine establishments I have been too in Tampa (there aren't many), I received the best customer service here, thanks to the restaurant owner's son,Junior. What a pleasant young man! A casual dining spot in a strip plaza. The menu prices are actually reasonable as well. I opted to try the oxtail with brown rice and plantains while the hubs had the jerk pork with cabbage. We also ordered a side of Mac n cheese. I've had better jerk pork so that wasn't my fave. But everything was delicious. Thoroughly enjoyed the oxtail; tender, flavorful and it was a great portion size. The Mac n cheese was delicious as well. Will order again! To top it off, they offer a free scoop of Mango Italian Ice, which was to die for. So refreshing. I will definitely try them again!

    Delicious curry chicken.
    Karen F.

    I've only been here once for take-out, but this is my new favorite hidden gem in my neighborhood. Located in a strip mall near the Amscot, there was plenty of parking available on a Sunday. Since I had looked at people's pictures of the menu ahead of time, I knew exactly what I wanted to order: the curry chicken with cabbage and rice and peas. The curry chicken came with three generous on-bone hunks of chicken in a flavorful but not too spicy sauce with a couple of potatoes. The meat was tender and fell off the bone. Huge portions of rice and cabbage accompanied it, and it was easily enough for two meals. I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly the food was ready. The meal was very reasonably priced and came with a fountain soda. Both people working were extremely friendly and nice, and when I saw them scooping a frozen dessert and inquired about it, one of the workers gave me a huge scoop of their mango Italian ice to try - for free - yum! I can't wait to go back and try more items on their menu.

I absolutely love the ambiance, incredible selection, and variety of fresh, prepared, and packaged foods they offer. It's always busy -- and honestly, I've never seen an "off" time -- but that's part of the experience. I could easily spend hours wandering from room to room. One area has fresh vegetables and prepackaged dinners, another features spices tucked into a small alcove, while another is filled with wine and cheese. Then there's the main room, which houses a coffee bar, bakery and dessert counters, grocery items, a meat counter, and the deli where you can order made-to-order sandwiches and other freshly prepared foods. Everywhere you turn, there's something new and amazing to discover. This visit, I ordered the Hot Italian sub, and it was outstanding -- huge, flavorful, and packed with delicious ingredients. Every bite was fantastic. And yes, I happily ate the entire thing fresh while sitting outside on the covered patio. If you still have time before they close -- their hours are somewhat limited and closed on Sundays -- be sure to check out the kitchen store and gelato shop next door as well. They're the perfect addition to the experience and make it even harder to leave without discovering something else amazing.

We stood awkwardly in the way of the trash can for a while as there was zero space in the place to go to truly be out of the way of people. After about 20 minutes of standing there, a table cleared up and we very quickly rushed over to grab a seat. The cashier came out and cleaned another table but did not bother to clean ours. It seemed as though she was only willing to clean empty table. After about 40 minutes, our food was ready. It was insane to see how many orders were on their screen as the whole kitchen is visible from inside the place. The sandwiches were good, but I would absolutely recommend ordering ahead so that you don't get stuck standing there forever waiting. I also don't necessarily think the sandwiches were as good as expected. Especially for how long we had to wait.

Not sure if those hours are still correct. My lunch was fantastic and I started out with a bowl of matzoh ball soup for eight dollars and then I highly recommend this huge deli sub called the Cranston Kevin. Huge sandwich for $20 and worth it and the potato salad is pretty good as well. I added a picture of the sandwich which is almost like a French dip, but it's got turkey on it as well. Our server was Lauren and she even said it's her favorite sandwich on the menu. On the other side of the restaurant, they have a huge bakery as well, but didn't grab anything but did some window shopping of all the great stuff they had in the bakery.
