    A lot of food for a good price. The chicken was scattered between good and dry. But overall I will be returning again. The plantains omg they were good.

    I'm going to make this review quick. This was my first time visiting this place as I usually go to Golden Krust because I didn't know of any other West Indian places around here. I decided to give this place a try but I think I made a mistake. It was overpriced, the food wasn't good and the server was very cheap! He gave me a little bit of food and when I asked for a little more rice, he said there was enough which I could see it wasn't . Very disappointing. I had high hopes because the food did look tasty. I doubt I'll give them another try though because I don't want to waste my money again. ***** In response to the owners reply, this review is for the RIGHT location. You had a male worker that day & he did not provide good service!! Thanks. ******

    The Curry $3.99 Special
    Jewel P.

    I love the idea of the $3.99 special. What's pictured is what you would get. It's a great pick me up. I also ordered a chicken patty that was pretty good. They are not offering in door dining so much that the lady yelled at me about it when I only opened my bag to look at my patty while waiting for my food. I understand safety first, but it was a little aggressive.

    Good service, great Good. Prices went up but I'm sure it's due to the current COVID crisis and shipment of food.

    Brown Stew Chicken (Tuesday) lunch special for $5.99! The best I ever had.
    Lisa L.

    Hands down, THE BEST Brown Stew Chicken. EVER. It's savory, super flavorful, and absolutely delicious! Perfectly seasoned, bone-in (dark meat) chicken stewed in the most magnificent brown sauce you can imagine, with all of the right Caribbean spices and hints of fresh herbs and vegetables such as thyme, scallions, potatoes, and carrots. It all shows up on your plate! Did I mention it's extremely flavorful? My taste buds go bonkers whenever it hits my tongue. It leaves my stomach so full and satisfied, yet my mouth craving for more, and no, this is NOT an exaggeration. In fact, it's so gosh darn good that it's the ONLY thing that I've ordered from them since discovering Island Jerk about 2 years ago. Of course, I would love to try some of their other seemingly delicious dishes, but it is impossible for me to go there and NOT order their Brown Stew Chicken! I come here WEEKLY for their Tuesday Lunch Special (which happens to be Brown Stew Chicken, each day has a different special) for $5.99. It comes with rice and peas, steamed cabbage/veggies, 2 slices of fried plantain, and your choice of a canned soda or a bottled water. It really doesn't get any better than that! Service is fast and friendly. You pay when you place your order, but they always show you your food before bagging to ensure your order is correct and that you're satisfied. Customers are always in and out. The restaurant stays clean with a homey atmosphere, topped off with Caribbean vibes from the music videos they play daily on their television. I highly recommend Island Jerk to everyone!

    Mini curry chicken special $4.27(with tax) for lunch on the fly

    I visit a few time a year to get my curry fix. They have fresh food daily and reasonable prices for my favorite Jamaican dishes. The service is okay...most of the employees are friendly. Once in awhile they'll try to skimp on my portions, but I am pretty good at reminding them of the price to portion ratio.

    I had the curry goat and it was OK. The cabbage wasn't too good, lacked any other flavor than garlic. I came in and was greeted right away and once I put in my order five minutes later it was ready. It definitely is fast just very mediocre.

    The food was good but the staff was rude every time I came in here which created an overall uncomfortable experience ...

    Worse customer service ever. Cashier came out the back and was cold mannered. Want Your money but act like you don't exist.

    Oxtail was burned. Rice tasted as if it was bad. Would not recommend to my worst enemy.

    Just moved here from Florida and even tho I'm jamaican w/1/2 coolie dad married to a trini who's…read more mom helped me brush up my skills from my dad, I just did not feel like making them myself this this day. While working at a local medical office a patient from I think Guyana came in. Of course I had to ask where the roti spot was. He gave me this place, so I had high hopes. We usually get the roti and make the curry ourselves bc I haven't trusted a restaurant curry since I left New York 25yrs ago. Tried the curry and ran to the rr w/in minutes, but I digress. As for as the roti, I'm gonna say it's bc they weren't fresh, bc they really weren't bad, I could just tell they were days old. Hopefully I can get the schedule as I'm willing to try again if they're fresh, so for now, 3 stars is as much as they'll get. Especially since one of the 2 young ladies at the counter couldn't have been more rude if she tried. Even after the other young lady kept telling her to assist my daughter she just kept acting as if she were invisible.

    I've been craving Jamaican food for more than a week so I decided that I was not going to cook…read moredinner tonight. So I went to T's Caribbean restaurant because in the pass they've been pretty good. Well today was definitely not a good day to visit the restaurant I spent $60 on three plates and the food was just okay today and to make matters worse the lady behind the counter(with the pink shirt on) was very very rude, and had a very nasty attitude and also short with me which in turn truly upset me because I could have gone to the grocery store and use that money to buy a dinner that would've lasted me and my family a few days so the moral of the story is because of her rudeness and her attitude I will not be returning to this establishment.
