Island Jerk

I waited about an hour and a half for curry goat and oxtail. I would definitely return, it was worth the wait. They have a sign with a disclaimer at the front of the restaurant that says the food is authentic and not fast food, so I was prepared to wait. I also had a spinach patty and beef patty as an appetizer while I waited. Some of the best Jamaican food I have had anywhere in the U.S. There is also a smoothie vendor inside the restaurant with very delicious products. Highly recommend, just wouldn’t take a chance if I were in a big hurry.

Here is a polished version of your review—clear, warm, and natural while keeping your voice: --- Skeptical at first, but once the food arrived my mouth was watering. The mango–strawberry slush is amazing. I had the goat with rice and it was cooked to perfection. The downside of this place is that it lacks a bit of organization. It was also a little chilly to sit and eat without a coat, and the prices were slightly higher than expected. Overall, though, it has a great, homemade which all make , comfort food

The food tasted amazing. Service felt friendly, attentive, truly welcoming. Portions were very generous. Even the smaller plate came loaded with Sweet n spicy chicken, rice. The larger plate was massive, more than enough for one person. Excellent value with great flavor in every bite.

No doubt about it the food tasted good. Portion was good for the price coming from NY perspective. However when you walk in for an order, wait an hour, only to be told that the order was not submitted to the chief after said hour shows an inherent issue. Total food took 1:30 mins. Overall if you have patience food is comparable to food I ate in the past. Prep in advance if you are time constrained(40+ mins).

Unassuming restaurant with some indoor seating. Extremely friendly and down to earth owner. Got the oxtail and Curry chicken combo with some extra plantains and it was literally 5 pounds of food (weighed it for S's and G's, lol). Food was good, would have liked it slightly more heavily spiced but the flavor was on the right track and quite enjoyable. Everything was fresh and tender. Would definitely come back here again.
