Small Jerk Chicken
Lawana L.

The food here is delicious. I love the oxtails but I decided to get the jerk chicken with rice and peas and collard greens. The chicken was tender with a semi spicy jerk sauce. The rice and peas was so yummy and the greens were seasoned well. I also ordered a ginger lemonade which is refreshing with a kick of ginger! The service was fast and the customer service good! Update: 2025 The food is STILL delicious with great service. They changed the inside some from when I first posted but this restaurant is definitely a must when visiting Rock Hill! I would recommend this restaurant

Picked this spot because I was craving some Jamaican food. I love jerk chicken(it's one of my favorite meals). Anywho, it was a fast service that served generous portions. Both me and my dad had food for the next day. I loved it when one of the gentleman checked on us to see if we enjoyed our food and gave us a dressing that he recommended. I could tell this is a place that cares for their customers!

Red Pea Soup with oxtail, beef and dumpling.

My husband and I were on our way back home from a day trip. We decided to get something to eat and look for someplace nearby on Yelp. The iIsland Grill and Pub was one of the suggestions and we like Jamaican food so we decided to give it a try. I am so happy we did! And the decor is a bit spare, but does remind you of a restaurant you would actually find in Jamaica. We were greeted by a very pleasant young lady, who helped us to make choices from the menu. A couple of the items that we wanted were not available that day. My husband decided to order an ox tail dinner. I ordered an order of collard greens, in order of cabbage, and a small order of red pea soup. Food arrived hot and smelling delicious. The owner made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy the food. And enjoy it we did! This is probably one of the best Jamaican meals I have had! The red pea soup was quite delicious with adequate amounts of oxtail and beef. It was seasoned perfectly. Afterwards, I really wished I had gotten a large order so that I could bring some home. I really enjoyed the dumpling at the bottom of the soup. My husband said that the oxtails were so good that he is anxiously waiting for us to eat here again.

Cool island vibes and vegan offerings. Staff was helpful with vegan choices. We ended up with jerk tofu, plantains, and rice and beans. All yummy. (They we're out of curry chickpeas but if we are ever in the area again we'll try to order those). Ginger lemonade has a real kick -- so good. The jerk tofu was not spicy at all, despite other reviews indicating that it would be. Still had great flavor though. Portions are HUGE. As someone who eats A LOT, I couldn't finish the small. Soooo much rice.

Olivia M.

Good food the only thing was collard greens was lacking flavor. Wings were seasoned well & oxtails were tender. Service was someone friendly as she was very nice while asking questions but in a hurried manner. Overall she was nice. The decor was traditionally what you find in these establishments. It could definitely use a deep clean overall. Would recommend however

Oxtails, rice and peas,and cabbage

This food was soo good and flavorful! I love me some oxtails but can't eat them from Most restaurants cause it's too spicy! This was just right! The rice was perfect not hard or too soogy! We live in Charlotte so it was not around the corner but we will most certainly be back!! Let me not forget the cabbage...it was perfection not over cooked at all!!

Curry Chicken, White Rice, Cabbage
Kim S.

The food is amazing! We were so indecisive of what to get, they brought us little samples of several items on the menu. We sampled the ox tails, curry goat, curry chicken, jerk chicken, & the brown stew chicken. They were all insanely delicious. We ended up with the brown stew chicken for myself & the curry chicken for my husband. I got the rice & beans & the collards with mine & he got white rice & cabbage with his. I also got the plantains & we split the chicken Jamaican hand pie. I can't say enough how delicious everything we tried was. The service is great & we also enjoyed the Jamaican music playing while we dining in. The pricing was very reasonable as well. We got 2 plates; mine small, his medium; the hand pie, & 2 cups of water for $25! And we both had enough leftovers to feed each of us again. If you haven't tried this place yet, you totally should! We will definitely be back!

I've been here several times & loved it every. Single. TIME!!! While I love Charlotte's food scene for its vast array of options & continuous growth, my Northern palate recognizes that there's a glaring gap on the Caribbean food front. Island Grill & Pub effortlessly and deliciously fills that gap! After a relaxing & scenic ride from Charlotte, I appreciate the beyond friendly/family-type atmosphere, jamming playlist, great showings on both the jerk & brown stew chicken, and some of the best rum punch I've ever had. Definitely a regular in my takeout lineup!

Island Grill & Pub of Rock Hill serves up some of the best Jamaican food in town! I've been a regular since they opened 2-3 yrs ago, and the food is consistently delicious each time! Their Jamaican Beef Patties are my go-to, the hearty beef filling isn't overly spicy, so I always add hot sauce for an extra kick. I always order their juicy Jerk Chicken with brown stew sauce; it's the perfect combo of sweet and tangy and oh-so-satisfying. Next is their rice & peas and steamed cabbage salad, and I can't do without the sweet plantains, so I always order extra. The highlight of my last visit was the ginger lemonade, which was so refreshing and delicious with the perfect amount of ginger sweetness. I also got to try their Jamaican Rum Punch, which tasted like juice!  The owner, Christopher, owned a few restaurants in New York before bringing his Jamaican flavors to Rock Hill, SC. Christopher is always around, ensuring each guest has an enjoyable experience, which is why Island Grill & Pub is at the top of my list of places to eat in Rock Hill.

The BEST Curry Chickpea I ever had ! You will not be disappointed at all

After swapping presents we went down to the restaurant for dinner. It was pretty packed and we were concerned we wouldn't get a table, but the staff allowed us to move chairs around to make room for the 11 of us. Everything about our experience was great. Toya and Brandon were our servers and both of them are excellent at their jobs. They were friendly, engaging, fast and efficient. Somehow with a packed dining room and only a few servers on the floor they were able to keep us all happy and well served throughout the meal. Toya even went the extra mile and had the kitchen send out my daughter's and young nieces' meals first so they wouldn't have to wait or become impatient. The kitchen worked smoothly with us to provide delicious meals for a few members of our family who have gluten and dairy intolerance. All of the food was well prepared and tasty. My sister tried a margarita and said Toya mixed it to perfection. I also wanted to note how clean the dining room (and all of the hotel) is. This is my second stay at the Cambria and it won't be my last. This kind of overall excellence in service and quality deserves repeat business. My sister lives fairly close to Rock Hill and said she'll be back as well to dine at the restaurant. Thanks again for a wonderful experience at the Cambria Hotel/Loom Restaurant! Can't wait to visit again.

We arrived at an odd hour, hungry and tired from a day of driving from early morning until about 3…read morepm. We were a little confused as to how to enter the restaurant, but I chalk that up to being tired. The space is wide open and airy, with large windows and skylights. The restaurant was nice and clean, save for something that was splashed on the wall in our booth - but it's a restaurant. There's going to be little picky things here and there and I'm sure it was wiped down by the end of the day! Our hostess was also our server and she was so knowledgeable about the menu. I took her suggestions at every turn and did not regret it. We started off with the Bang Bang Brussels Sprouts app and let me tell you - I could've eaten that as my entire meal. They are SO delicious and I'll be dreaming of them until I can return to Rock Hill. Holy cow, they were good - crispy on the outside, loaded with flavor and just enough spice to give the sweetness a little bite. So good. My husband had the country fried steak and he said it was very good. Not the best he's ever had, he said, but good enough. He wished there'd been more steak and less crust, but the flavor was right on. They were out of the salt and pepper flounder, so I changed my order to the ranch chicken. Ummmm....excuse me. Who says not to order chicken breasts at restaurants? The portion size is SO generous and the chicken is SO DELICIOUS that I, the girl who rarely bothers to take leftovers, boxed up what was left and brought it back to my hotel and ate it as a midnight snack. The grilled zucchini served on the side of it was delicious. If I ever get back, I'll ask if I can skip the potatoes in favor of more of that zucchini! We didn't really have room for dessert, but when we heard about the warm banana pudding, we were curious. DO NOT SKIP THIS DESSERT. If you're a banana pudding fan, this will blow your mind. Absolutely incredible! It's both warm and cool at the same time, caramelized bananas and a torched meringue topping were bowl-licking delicious. All in all, this was a fantastic experience and I wouldn't hesitate to go back.

We started things off with the Louisiana Shrimp Toast and the Bang Bang Brussels Sprouts--both packed with so much flavor and the perfect way to kick off dinner. We also had to take advantage of their $2 frosé, which was absolutely perfect for these warmer days. For my entrée, I went with the Parmesan Ranch Chicken served with the most perfect mashed potatoes--comfort food at its finest. My husband ordered the Salt and Pepper Fried Tilapia with grits, topped with the most delicious tomato stew that had us both sneaking bites from each other's plates. Everything was absolutely delicious, and we already know we'll be back... because I still need a slice of that peach cheesecake! If you're in Rock Hill and looking for your next dinner spot, this one is definitely worth the visit!

During the middle of the week I decided to try a newer restaurant I hadn't been too for my birthday…read moredinner! I had been hearing good things about Firebirds in Fort Mill and as this was my special birthday meal I felt this might be the place to go. We arrived a little after 4 on a Wednesday evening. You can see from my pictures that the decor was very warm and cozy. There were tables, booths and combo bench/tables. Also there was a large bar you could sit at and enjoy the atmosphere. Our waitress was super friendly and was very attentive to our table. She answered our questions we had like about the Ranch Rings. Turns out it's just a side of ranch you can did the rings in. She also offered us some bread for the table which we never turn down. It was warm and the whipped butter was soft and easy to spread! The Rings were amazing! Very crispy and fully cooked. You didn't get that onion pulling out of the coating that I hate. And there was so many of them that three of us split this very easily! For my dinner I was going all in with the Surf N Turf. A 9oz bacon wrapped filet with a half pound lobster tail! I also got the seasoned steak fries for my side. Again the waitress was great asking what extras I needed with my meal, i.e. ketchup, melted butter, steak sauce etc. For the most part my meal was excellent. The fries were crisp on the outside but had a good fluffy potato on the inside. The lobster was presented outside the tail and was easy to remove and then slice up to be dipped in the butter. The bacon around the filet was fully cooked and not rubbery at all! But it looked like they had cut into the filet to check the temp. I did as for it to me Medium and it was probably a touch over but there was some pink inside so it was ok. Overall it was good but I didn't have that eyes rolling back in your head OMG YUM moment. My parents both decided to try their three course meal. You get a starter, an entree and a dessert for a reasonable price. Both my parents chose the mixed greens salad for their starter. They both enjoyed it and was surprised by the size of it expecting to get smaller portions with this three course meal deal. Again they were surprised when their entrée's arrived. A full rack of ribs and a large grilled sirloin steak was presented to them. Dad very much enjoyed his parmesan mashed potatoes before attacking the ribs. Mom asked for her steak to be medium well but it looked well done instead but it was fine for her. Unfortunately her mashed potatoes arrived cold. Our waitress was on it and brought a side of piping hot mashed potatoes for her very quickly. For dessert mom got the bread pudding which came with a large scoop of vanilla ice cream and side of caramel sauce. Dad got the creme Brulee petite cheesecakes. I swiped the ice cream from mom as she didn't want it and poured some of what tasted like house made caramel sauce over it. It was delicious! By the time we were leaving over 90 minutes later the restaurant was getting quite full. The food and service was all very good. It's not the type of place I'm gonna come to every week but for those special nights out when you want a cozy place to relax and have a good meal, this is the spot!

I had a delicious NY Strip cooked medium and an extraordinary salad with a citrus and lime vinaigrette. We were served hot bread right out the oven. Our server was attentive and anticipated our needs. There were other celebrations around us and this is a classy, warm and welcoming place to enjoy and make a special memory.
