The beef patty was well executed and very satisfying, and the curry patty stood out for being more unique and interesting in flavor. That said, the fish was the clear standout. Easily the best thing we ordered. It was cooked perfectly and came with coleslaw that was balanced and not overly sweet, plus a side of cabbage that was also very good. They offered a spicy sauce, but the food honestly didn't need much extra. We eat at a lot of food trucks at Carolina Beer Temple, and Durty Thumbs ranks among the best we've had. Everything was good -- the fish is what I'd go back for.

On a recent trip to Rock Hill, I stopped in at Island Grill & Pub to enjoy dinner…read more Although it was very cold outside, as soon as we walked in, we felt like we were immediately transported to a neighborhood cookshop in Port Antonio! The cashier was sweet and personable. She was multitasking, but still managed to be fully engaged in the service she provided to us. She kindly let us know what items were sold out for the day and also gave us time to look over the menu and decide on our order without making us feel rushed. While we waited for our food to arrive, we noticed a steady flow of customers all the way until closing time! It's clear Island Grill & Pub is a local favorite. The food is packaged up to go, but there are plenty of tables to dine-in once you have your food...and a big screen with movies and Jamaican music playing in the background to keep you entertained. The wait for the food is a bit long...but EVERYTHING came out very fresh, very authentic, and worth the wait. The portions were plentiful, the food was flavorful and seasoned well, and the items were priced well for the value. What we ordered: - Small Jerk Chicken plate with rice & peas and cabbage - Jerk Chicken pasta - Side order of Macaroni and cheese We wish we lived closer, so we could visit Island Grill & Pub regularly, but it's definitely on our list any time we travel to the Rock Hill area!

Surprisingly good!…read more I've read the Yelp reviews and seen this place many times since it's near my Dr's office so today I stopped in for lunch. An overcast and gloomy Monday and there were only a couple of other tables filled. I had the large portion of beef stew with the yellow rice and collard greens as my two sides. When I placed my order the young man asked if this was dine in or 'to go' and i said dine in' They give you a number and deliver the food when it's ready. It came out real quick, in about 5 minutes. Interesting that it was in a 'to go' container. It was SO hot, there was steam rising off the food. I had to wait a few minutes for it to cool down so I could taste it. The collards were absolutely delicious. The yellow rice was OK, though I'm not a huge rice fan. The beef stew was perfect. Cooked just right in a nice lite gravy. A very large portion and I was very pleased with the flavor and food quality. On the down side, the place doesn't appear to be super clean, especially the bathroom. The hallway where you walk to get there is scattered with cleaning supplies and trash. It looks like they have a DJ on the weekends as the equipment sits out in the open. They have a fully stocked bar and a couple of beers on draught. They have one very large round booth like table that looks like yit could seat maybe six or seven. Then they have two standard size booths and the rest are all two and four top tables. Kind of fitting they have Reggae music playing while you dine. They do offer a Veteran discount as well and I was happy I could support an independently owned and operated local business.

The menu is filled with all of the island favorites, and some are spicy. I chose the less spicy Brown Stew and Chicken, which is tender chicken thighs in gravy served with peas and rice, cooked cabbage, and plantains. Come with an appetite because the servings are huge! We also ordered the coconut shrimp and bread pudding (also with coconut and fruit). Overall, excellent food and such friendly service. The owner, Alissa served us and told us a bit of her story.

It was bland - it wasn't even mildly spicy. The Irie Itse has dry, tasteless chicken and pretty standard jar pesto. Kids butter noodle was bland and has very little butter. The sauce on The Mesach was good and the jalapeno lime cilantro dressing on the side salad was also good. For me this food (and three non-alcoholic drinks) is just not worth the $87 (including 20% tip) price tag.
