My cousin and I came here around 9pm. Not many options to choose around 9pm. We chose brown stew and curry chicken with rice and Mac n cheese. Curry chicken definitely has a spice kick. Tastes very good and very saucy. The brown stew also tastes very good and saucy. The Mac n cheese is sooo good. It's gooey and cheesy. No regrets on the upcharge on Mac n cheese. Rice is not dry. Works well with the chicken. Been here twice. Some of the staff attitude seems like they're ready to go home honestly. Will come back again to try the jerk chicken and the pasta entrees. read more

I placed my order online at 7:30 and received a text that it was ready at 7:38. When I arrived for pick it up, I was told my order was not ready. The server sat down. She said a few words in patois to the other woman. Next thing I know the other woman started preparing all the sides in a carry out container and then goes to the back for the jerk wings. I didn't leave until 8 o'clock with my order. It wasn't worth the time that I waited. The rice and peas and cabbage were delicious. The wings were dried out, hard and tasted like barbecue chicken instead of jerk wings. I threw them in the trash. Don't even bother putting an order in before cause you're gonna wait anyway. Get your food from the hot and ready prepared food. read more

Came here last. night, this isn't the most inviting restaurant and they don't have water cups. Only bottled water that you have to pay for. I don't know if that's legal but whatever. They close at midnight but rushed us out the door at 11:10pm when I was trying to eat inside. Their service is terrible. Anyways I ordered the fried chicken, the batter was good and seasoned well however my chicken was mostly batter. I didn't even bother to eat anything else in the plate. I had high hopes for this place but it's not that good compared to other Jamaican spots. I absolutely won't be coming back and do not recommend this place. read more

Island Tings - Fried Chicken (Large) - Caribbean Near Me - Miramar, Florida

Island Tings in Miramar definitely delivered if you're craving real Caribbean comfort food. I ordered the curry chicken and it was exactly what you want from a spot like this. The chicken was tender, well seasoned, and soaked in that rich curry sauce. It came piled over rice with veggies and potatoes mixed in, and the flavors were deep and authentic. You can tell it's the kind of food that's been cooked slow and done right. The portions were solid too definitely a filling meal. Perfect if you're hungry and want something hearty. The restaurant itself has a cool island vibe inside with the beach murals and bright colors that make it feel relaxed and laid-back. The setup is simple cafeteria style, so you move down the line and pick what you want, which keeps things moving. If you're in Miramar and want real Caribbean flavors without the fuss, this spot is worth the stop. Good portions, flavorful food, and a chill atmosphere. read more

Stopped for dinner on my way back north Saturday night. I struck out at my first two options in this mall, and almost didn't find this place. (Directions were trying to point me to the southwest corner of the mall when in fact it's in the northwest corner, on the street side so you can't see it from the main parking lot.) You can either eat from the steam-table options which are ready, or order from the menu. I did the first. Not being familiar with Jamaican food, I asked the server for something a heat wimp could handle, and she gave me the Brown Stew Chicken, which was a good choice with just a hint of heat. It came with Moro (rice with beans mixed in) and Macaroni and Cheese. (The latter was the only side they had ready. :( ) All three were pretty big servings, it filled a standard to-go container full. The chicken was a lot of rather bony pieces (it reminded me of eating goat or stewed chicken), but it was tasty. I wasn't thrilled with the Mac and Cheese, the sauce was more starchy than cheesy. Counter service. Ambiance was ok, big murals of Jamaican cultural touchstones. read more

The saving grace that this isn't a 1 star is the fact the food I was ABLE to get was good. The inside was anything but welcoming, clearly had dirty spots here and there on the floor but alas, sometimes you can't judge the book by its cover. Damn near 90% of the menu was out of stock and the service was not to par. Two girls working in the front each with air pods in and just giving little to no attention to people walking in. I ordered an ox tail plate with rice, peas, brown gravy, and Mac. It was pretty dang good which was the saving grace but irregardless I want to be able to say I want to go back and try out more items (if even available I saw a bunch of reviews saying they stuff out of stock and this was months ago too) but I don't know if it's worth the trip. read more

It's Monday 7/14/25 at 12:40pm in the afternoon one guest in the restaurant. I waited about six minutes to be greeted. They were busy fulfilling online orders I think. I tried calling before I drove there to order for pick up but the number rings 6 times and just hangs up. I suggest fixing that, so as not to leave money on the table for another restaurant that answers. Ambience it's very clean nice vibe usually when I come here, usually very good music selection, today I was uncomfortable listening to the two songs by a female rapper , unfortunately it was nothing but cursing, not a good look. I would advise management to filter any music to radio versions or clean versions so as to not offend some of the customers. With respect to the food I ordered at lunch, special brown stew, chicken with rice and peas and cabbage on the side. The food is amazing. Great price definitely will be coming back. read more

Fast service and delicious food. Island Tings ambience and decor transports you to the Caribbean once you walk through the doors. The flavors are just as colorful and vibrant as the restaurant. They offer traditional items such as curry chicken, pea stew and items for veg heads like the veggie pasta . Corn, sweet plantain, and cabbage are just some of the side items that they carry. They realize a visual and virtual menu via QR code You can also check them out online. read more

This is a delivery order. There is a promotion buy one get one free. We ordered Jerk chicken with rice and Curry chicken with rice. The curry chicken is on the salty side, the portion of the rice seems little. The jerk chicken has little portion of rice too, it is the first time I tried the jerky chicken -a famous Jamaican dish unique spicy, smoky, and tender chicken. It is an ok dish, if given an opportunity I will not try these dishes here again. read more

We visited Miami in July, 2025. Our first day arriving there we were tired and just wanted to eat something good and relax. Hubby decided to order from here through Uber Eats. We got the oxtail dinner which came with rice and beans and plantains. We also had the ginger lemonade. OMG, everything was SO good and flavorful! The lemonade was so tasty that I want to try making it on my own until I get it to taste like theirs. I wish this place was in Chicago. Food was amazing. Thank you Island Tings! A+! read more

I order Uber eats from this location all the time to my office, but we happen to be out on the road and decided to stop in for a quick lunch. At lunchtime, they have a lot of the food options already ready to go. I went to my go to, which is brown stew chicken. I will say the service is not the most friendliest but not something that is unfamiliar if you go into Jamaican restaurants. It took a while to get our order which I didn't quite understand as again. The food is already prepared. I got my chicken with rice and peas and plantains. I like to get the oxtail gravy on top of my rice to add a little bit more flavor. The restaurant was clean. We were able to find good seats. I just wish the service would be a little nicer, but again nothing that I don't expect. read more

Island Tings - GOTTA HAVE IT - Caribbean Near Me - Miramar, Florida

My mom picked this place and she definitely lost her picking privilege . As we walk in its your typical Jamaican restaurant with the workers acting like they doing us a favor. I am Jamaican so I believe I can confirm this stereotype, however its not quality to run your business this way. I ordered the oxtail and some layered drink. The oxtail was a 4/10, never in my life have I hate authentic oxtail that was full of sugar. Idk whose idea that was, oxtail is a savory meal, there shouldnt be an overpowering sweetness. The layered drink tasted like a watery caprisun, highly disappointed. The ambiance was as any random fastfood/restaurant you can sit in. Nothing to write home about. read more

Walked into this establishment 8/5/25 @ about 12:45pm. One young lady was preparing meals for what seemed like on line orders . She never acknowledged us , but kept preparing meals . Finally I asked her how we should order , she stated that if we wanted food from the line - to order from her . If we wanted food from the back (whatever that meant ) we should order from the cashier . There was no cashier in sight . We left and went next door To the Licking and had a delightful meal! I bet Island Tings loses a lot of business because of their poor customer service ! I'll never go back - even if the food is good! read more

They need to improve with their attitudes. One is treated like the food is free. Just down right rude

Finally got a chance to eat from this establishment again. The amount of food is incredible to match the taste. I went with a lovely Curry Chicken, white rice and steamed veg. My other half had a delectable Curry Goat, rice and peas with steam veg. Both meals came with the right amount to fill your stomach. Definitely check out this spot when you have the time. It's worth it. read more

I've been going to this place for 4 years since I moved from NYC. Surrounded by Caribbean culture it was a must to find a spot I can go. Food is so good they ARE ALWAYS sold out!!. I finally was able to get some oxtail today's exited Too bad for me this will be my last day as a result of POOR service. Th young woman behind the counter in the 5pm truly didn't want be at work and shouldnt be with that DRY ass attitude. I DO mean DRY. I said hello gestures to my food, saying that could be mine. Of course no smile, NO hello but asked me my name and I had to repeat it 3x for her to hear when we were the only 2 a the moment. Attitude still DRY as she hands me my food. I smile and say thank you, " mm" in response. Shorty gotta GO. Made for a necessarily awkward moment. Her attitude was the same the last time I picked up food. I love MY ppl but poor customer service will shove your business in the toilet. The food too good to act suh. And I just finished the food, impeccable as always. read more

Food is great but the young lady who served me Saturday May 16th, 10:00pm, was rude and unprofessional. She took close to 15 minutes to take my order for no reason whatsoever.

I ordered food from them on DoorDash literally just now . Best Caribbean restaurant I've tried in the area . Everywhere else doesn't remind me of what I grew up eating at my grandparents house . 10/10 . My daughter and I enjoyed some curry chicken and I will definitely be buying from here again !! read more

The food was delicious, the portions are large and the staff is friendly and kind. But read your receipt people, the down side here is when you order in person at the establishment, they charge a 3.5% "restaurant fee"... not a credit card fee, not a tip, not an extra condiments fee, not a take-out fee, not a dine-in fee... a restaurant fee at a restaurant is absolutely ridiculous, charging your customers for being willing to patronize your business is a terrible business practice. How do you charge customers a fee for standing in front of you, I'll stick to ordering from a delivery service from here, at least being charged more is for my convenience and not for being human and actually ordering at the store since I'm already in the shopping center... read more

Amazing food .. omg the fried chicken and jerk chicken pasta was amazing .. I was in town for three days and ate dinner there every night

I ordered jerk wings and fries with a mild Pattie. The wings weren't bad but definitely were not the best jerk wings I've had. The mild patty was actually burnt. My first time having a burnt Jamaican patty. Fries had a nice seasoning on them. read more

I tried some rice, some jerk chicken and vegetables. It was tasty. Service was pleasant enough.

I heard about this restaurant on IG and had been dying to check it out. I mentioned to a friend that I was in the area and he told me to check it out. I was going to do order pick up but realized the price there is $25.99 for oxtails and since it's powered through door dash, I knew the prices were raised by a $1 or more, so I decided to go order in person. Nothing against them for doing that, doordash and ubereats charge restaurants hefty fees so it's understandable. In person, the oxtail price is $23.99. The most I've seen for oxtails. Now to be fair, the price of oxtails is increases, well all food prices have gone up. You can see the portion that I received. I'm on the fence about if it was a fair amount of oxtails. Everyone wants a large portion but it is also becoming a popular meat to serve, so the prices will keep going up. Of course the business will pass the increase on to the customers. The oxtails were seasoned well and were tender. The rice and cabbage was really good as well. The rasta cake was bomb. I was sad that I didn't get more than 1 slice. Overall, my experience was pleasant and the staff was lovely, but at that price point, I probably won't return. I will say if I'm in the area and craving Jamaican food, I maaaay just deal with the prices. read more

The chicken and beef taste good here but the rice and veggies are lackluster and it's all overpriced. I have ate here a few times and always come back for the jerk chicken flavor. But every time I have ate here I'm presented with the worst customer service experience. That's the one thing they can guarantee here. The two girls that were working the counter wouldn't even make eye contact or acknowledge that I was there. I had to practically shout at her to get her attention. The ambiance is lame, just some tables. I'll probably still come here to eat but I'm always prepared for the crappy attitude and overpriced food. read more

Always on the lookout for great jerk chicken. This place was the only spot that still had chicken at 5:30 pm. We had 4 jerk chicken plates - 2 with macaroni and cheese and 2 with steamed vegetables. The chicken was good, but among all four trays not one contained white meat! Personally, I would have liked more spice, too. read more

Island Tings does not play! Their curry and jerk chicken dishes were tender, spicy, and delicious. The rice and peas were flavorful and the cooked cabbage was nice and crunchy still. I also got a ginger lemonade which I did find to be too sweet and was able to water down. The young person behind the counter looked tired which is very understandable. They were able to help more than one person at a time in a timely manner and made sure the portions were ample. Island Tings decor is like nothing I had ever seen before in a restaurant. Of course there a wallpaper panorama of a beautiful beach and yet I was surprised to see a woman in a thong bikini on the beach. Another side of wallpaper had a much closer up picture of a woman wearing a wet t-shirt which had JAMAICA printed on it. I was only getting takeout but the decor was clearly vibrant and colorful. Only good tings at Island Tings! read more

You may have heard of this place or passed by the neon sign, but never thought to stop in or order. Well I'm here to tell you it is a MUST TRY, at least ONCE, lol! I am a lover of Caribbean food and I don't hesitate on trying something new if I see a restaurant in passing. I can't speak on the inside experience, as I ordered delivery, but the food was hot, saucy, packed with a lot of food, and tasty ingredients. Definitely a must have if you live in the area and love or want to try authentic Jamaican Food. Service read more

I'd passed this restaurant countless times but had never tried it. Finally, after seeing a BOGO deal on Uber Eats, I decided to give it a try. The service was quick since I was simply picking up the order. However, I found it odd that the restaurant did not smell like delicious food. The meal had plenty of rice and peas, brown stew chicken, and cabbage. However, I was quite unhappy with the taste of the chicken. As someone who grew up eating Caribbean cuisine, the chicken did not taste seasoned. It was not marinated. In fact, I thought the entire meal tasted bland. Perhaps the food was off since I got it late at night? Maybe I'll give them another chance. read more

Absolutely horrible service. We placed an order on Uber eats which was the BOGO free curry chicken and brown stew chicken. It was supposed be delivered at 5:50pm. It finally got delivered at 6:55pm and it was just one order of jerk pasta. To wait all that time and have our driver be given the wrong order by the staff is absurd. I kept calling and they finally picked up the phone. I was told that they gave out the wrong order and the solution would be for me to now place another order for a lemonade. This way they would send out the right order....never mind the fact that with Uber I would have to pay fees and order something I did not want because of their error. When I refused to order a lemonade and wait again..the lady hung up on me. Absolutely the worst customer service I've experienced in awhile. I will never order from a place that doesn't value their customers or take the job serious enough to get it done correctly. Avoid this place. read more

Staff is rude. They ignored me when I first got there but helped someone who came in after me and was polite to them. It felt like a race thing and I'm not one to make claims like that. I won't be going back. read more

I ordered a grab bag through Too Good To Go. It was worth the $8 I paid. In my grab bag there were 2 jerk chicken sandwiches. Yep I was disappointed as I've heard others getting large quantities of food and drinks. I guess I got the short end of the stick or picked up too early. The lady working the counter was very friendly and knowledgeable of the program. She was very cordial with all of the guest and saw to everyone timely. Now on to the sandwiches. I shared them (as many of you know I don't eat meat) and the reviews were amazing. It was reported that the chicken was very well marinated and jerked and the sandwiches had a lot of meat in them. I will try them again just make my pick up time a little later. read more
