    Great place, great food. Incredible value... the plantains are to die for. Can't wait to return and the name is hilarious

    Thanks to fellow Yelpers for recommending this place! I haven't had an authentic taste of Jamaica…read morein a very long time. 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.

    I was getting my oil changed and had some time on my hands so I started walking and remembered that…read moreI had passed by this Jamaican jerk restaurant before and never gone in. Glad I stopped in today. Got the white chicken dinner which comes with rice and beans. Very large portion! Really enjoyed the sweet jerk sauce! The owner suggested I try to mac and cheese - I'm glad I did, It was delicious! They sell a variety of drinks and pops including tropical rhythms drinks. He also kindly let me have a bottle of water. Glad to hear the music of Jamaica come on and get played in the background as well. Lots of potential here and lots of great signage. The environment was very transportive .

    Tried this place out. It was a joke. I don't see how they stay business. I ordered a curry goat…read moredinner. Paid for it, stepped next door to footlocker. The place wasn't busy. As a matter of fact, nobody was waiting when I got there. When I came back, i wanted to add an order of plantains to the order, she said, none additional to sell, besides what's included in meal. My son tried to order a beef patties. She said she couldn't prepare it until she filled an order that had walked in. We passed on it. Got home and tgat was the smallest Jamaican dinner I've ever purchased. Anywhere. It was 11 o'clock and tasted reheated. $15 for that was pitiful Definitely w ont be back. Shouldn't been a warning when it was dead empty on a Friday at lunch hours.
