    Curry Goat, cabbage and rice and peas mmmmmmm
    Jerry H.

    What a delicious mouthwatering burst of Caribbean cuisine. I ordered the curry Goat. Rice and peas and plantains. One of the best restaurants in our hood. I will be back and telling everyone I know about the taste of the island. I simply loved the food and would rate 5 more stars for the food and service. Take note Jacksonville, people want good service and great food for the price.

    Don't let the lack of fine dining decor steer you away from this little gem of a restaurant. If you like jerk chicken and authentic Jamaican food your going to love this place! With very little seating, one small table with two chairs and a couch, this is mostly a takeout restaurant. The food is amazing, the jerk is perfectly seasoned, it's spicy but not hot, so you enjoy the flavor. The owner has his grill right out in front of the restaurant and the smell of his food let's you know he's a master of the grill. And from the kitchen everything is sooo good! The oxtails are the best I've ever had, rich meaty falling off the bone, you will want to eat them alone isuck the bones clean! :D The curry goat, beef patties, brown stew fish are all delicious and the owners are super nice and happy to have your business. I highly recommend this establishment.

    Dinner veggie plate. Cabbage, rice & peas, plantains.

    Excellent flavor, substantial portions! Dinner veggie plate was Rice & peas, cabbage, plantains. I wasn't sure what to expect for vegan options. This was perfect! Price was $14. Will absolutely go back and I wish I'd found them sooner! The staff were friendly and accommodating. There's limited seating there, probably best to take it to go. They have drinks in a cooler that looked delicious. It's in the building between hot wok and the post office (co-located with corner store and seafood shop).

    Jerk Chicken

    The Jerk Chicken is the absolute best I've ever had in my life! Perfect level of spice & the chicken is moist and smoky... they cook their jerk chicken on the grill right in front of the restaurant. Rice & peas were perfect & I'm picky about rice. The cabbage was freshhh. I was being fat & ordered a side of The Jerk Pork which was amazingly tender & flavorful, I liked that it wasn't salty. I'm so happy lol

    This is what y'all selling the paper bag took the oil up for me at least. Shit is disgusting

    This is the most nastiest Jamaican food I've ever had coming from someone in the Caribbean. How can you guys say your authentic and the shit taste nasty. Food is oily has no flavor. I'm currently in the hospital for two weeks and wanted some home cooked food and this is what you guys are selling. Listen I understand everyday doesn't have to be the best but you don't sell people no oily ass tasteless ass Jamaican food I will personally come to the store and speak to the owner. Y'all need to be closed down and for all these people that writing reviews talking about 4.5 stars y'all don't have no tastebuds in your mouth knowing damn well this isn't Jamaican food

    Jerk pork with white rice and cabbage
    Tanya M.

    I ordered the jerk pork special for lunch. It came with cabbage and white rice. The jerk pork was very flavorful and nice and tender. It was seasoned to perfection! The rice and cabbage paired with it was excellent! I'm looking forward to going back!

    Goat curry
    Nat I.

    Finding it was a bit hard on the first try, it's located right next to the post office and directly next to a seafood store. This hidden gem is amazing. So glad I found them from google reviews. I figured they deserved a yelp review as well. I always get chicken curry or goat curry, and both are super tender and full of flavor. The medium size is around 14 bucks and honestly I eat it for lunch and dinner. Good amount of food. I definitely prefer this over fast food in the area. I love how I can call in an order and pick it up, no time wasted, especially since I gotta squeeze it into my lunch time. The owners are super friendly as well. Love this place and love their food!

    Heaven in a box!!! Brown stew chicken.

    Yum!!! You want to taste the island? Come here, I promise, you will feel transported to Jamaica…read morewith the first bite! I came in straight from work, got 1 plate of jerk chicken and some Pattie's.... Wound up taking another plate home so the family could enjoy as well. The jerk chicken is so tender and perfectly seasoned and chargrilled. The restaurant is got an island vibe with some island music playing in the background (not to loud, but just enough to finish the vibe of being transported with every bite. I swear... if this place was beachfront or like it's own standing building with an outdoor tropical place... you would definitely think you got transported. It's super clean including the bathrooms. The owner is filled with joy everytime I saw someone walk in/leave. My server was Lucy (she's also a bartender there), if you go.. ask for Lucy (she work the later part of the week), tell her Trisha recommended her With the quality of food, the cleanliness of the restaurant, the amazing service that I received today... this place is going to be a neighborhood favorite without a doubt!

    Ordered an Oxtail platter, brown stew chicken, plantains & a beef patty, the only thing that was…read moretruly edible was the plantains. The beef patty was badly burned and the oxtail and brown chicken smelled spoiled as if they had let the food sit out for longer than it should and then heated it up and served it the smell and taste was overwhelming so as I took a closer look I saw white spots on the oxtail that looked as if mold may have began growing. not to mention the flavor was not there at all and overall I just would not recommend this place

    I dropped in here for lunch today. I was greeted right away (it is unusual to be greeted in a…read morefriendly way in Jamaica restaurants normally LOL) and given a menu--and I already knew I wanted a lunch special with jerk chicken, based on the web site. There was island music playing in the background to set the vibe, along with a map of the Caribbean at every table. My jerk chicken came out quickly and was delicious. The plantains were the perfect consistency, which is important to me because some places dry them out. I asked for a side of pepper sauce and it's quite hot, so consider yourself warned! While I was dining, the owner, Peter, came over and was chatting with the patrons. The ladies at the next table clearly knew him well, and I love that there are local relationships at the restaurant. It was fascinating hearing about his transition from the finance industry in Trinidad to being a restaurant entrepreneur! I only wish I had had had space to try the rum cake. It would be a joy to come back to Irie Diner and support a local business!

Great service from the staff and felt very welcomed as if I was vacation to the islands. I ordered the brown STEW chicken bowl for lunch and he came with rice and beans and I chose cabbage. Everything was delicious. Very authentic taste and I completed my entire bowl. The inside was very nice. There's a bar area and a lot of seating.
