Island Spice Grille & Lounge

I used to live in the area and this was my favorite go to spot for Jamaican food; I’ve NEVER been disappointed. I haven’t been in two years since I moved to Charlotte so I was really excited to place an order today. I placed a to go order for ackee and salt fish and it was so disappointing. Honestly it looked more like scrambled eggs, it was mushy with barely any salt fish and it just taste ok. I thought I at least had the rice and peas to fall back on but they weren’t as good as they usually are either. I didn’t bother to finish it.

I have ordered from here on more than one occasion and have never had an issue until today. There was hair in my food. This is very unsanitary and I’m disappointed that I now need to find another place to frequent.

We had the best time here. We tried each other's dishes and the food is so delicious! The food was so good that our group wanted to meet the chef. He came out to thunderous applause! I will definitely be going back. The server was very attentive and friendly. The bar drinks were creative but just OK. If you like jamaican food, I highly recommend Island Spice Grille!

Wow! An absolute hidden jewel of a restaurant in Edgewood Maryland! We have been traveling back and forth to church services down here and never knew that this place was right on the other side of the road. We were pleasantly surprised and the food was Absolutely Delicious. Our service was excellent. Shaniqua and Manager Cecil made sure that we were well taken care of. Very Clean and well kept restaurant. Simply Beautiful atmosphere. Highly recommended.

I traveled over an hour to visit this establishment, as I saw an ad online for the restaurant. The food looked really good and I'm a sucker for a good meal! I took my sister for her birthday, and we really enjoyed ourselves. Our server was Serena B. and she was super nice and friendly. She made recommendations from the menu as we explained it was our first time at the restaurant. The menu choices, I can't remember all the items, but I do remember there were some good choices. I ordered the rasta pasta, which wasn't bad. I did need to add some salt, but not a lot. It was pretty good, not too spicy, but not too bland in flavor. Let me back up, I forgot, I did order an appetizer, the
