Everything was delicious (maybe the chicken was a little dry). It tasted like great homemade food, just in a restaurant setting. I will definitely be back. Solid spot to grab lunch.

I'd love to say I've tried the food and it's amazing, but due to inconsistent hours, I haven't had…read morethe chance. The listed hours aren't accurate, no one answers the phone, and when visiting during posted times, the staff says they're not open and gives vague estimates. I was told they'd open at 1 or 2 PM, but they still weren't open when I returned. Tried again the next day--same issue. It's disappointing, especially since many at the military base would love to support the business, but the unreliable hours make it difficult.

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.

So worth the trip. The wings were delicious and cooked right. Full wings, not wingdings, winglets, flats or whatever. Black people wings, y'all. Those sweet potatoes have to be a family secret. I've never had any that were so light, so soft, yet had so much flavor. And that mac and cheese. No runs, no drips, no errors. Nothing kills mac and cheese like being even a little soggy, but you'll never have to worry about that at DaDa's Soul. Somebody's putting a good portion of TLC in that mac and cheese because it WILL make you wiggle from that first bite. The blue lemonade was a nice washdown for this meal. Next time, I'll get it with some ice because I'm sure that will boost the enjoyment even more. I also had a slice of chocolate frosted yellow bundt cake, but had to wait a couple of hours to eat that because the meal was beyond satisfying. There seemed to be a hint of coconut flavoring in either the cake or the frosting, but not enough to turn me away. The young (to me) brother who took care of me really took care of me. I am not used to such personable service in casual establishments, but the welcoming and appreciative energy during my visit ensures that it will not be my last visit. I like that there is only one table in there. I was able to enjoy my lunch without distractions or disruptions.
