MP Island Cafe

Our first visit after fellow workers brought back lunch and I saw the food and portions, it looked and smelled great! I took my family there for lunch on Saturday, everything was excellent, they were slightly busy, yet they greeted us with a smile, asked if it was our first visit? They helped us by telling us about all the food, which was plentiful and had great taste. We all had Jerk Chicken white meat with 2 sides, green beans and sweet potato. I recommend completely!

I was warned about this place but I had decent experiences so I continued to spend my money here. I’ve been to this location and others plenty. This time I ordered delivery and received a very unusually small amount of oxtails which cost $20.99 plus tax and all the extra fees. Instacart was no help so I loaded my 2 under 2 in the car and went to the location. The lady at the front was very rude and not helpful. There was another lady there who seemed like she wanted to help but was too afraid of Rude lady. I didn’t want a refund. I only wanted the amount of food I paid for which in the end I still didn’t receive. The saddest part of it all…if she had given me a reasonable amount it probably wouldn’t have hurt her or her pockets but as the old saying goes… “it be your own people” smh. I won

What is going on? This food is not good at all!! I love mp’s and I do not mind the price because the food is so good however, today someone is playing in my face. This macaroni and cheese is nasty, soupy and the cheese is chunky, the oxtails ain’t right and cabbage is mushy… I’m outraged… I noticed new staff maybe someone else is cooking.. I can’t eat this… please fix this because I love doing business with y'all, I love oxtails.

Food quality was amazing, their jerk chicken was immaculate and authentic. They asked if I wanted white or dark meat as well. Rice cooked to perfection, mac n cheese was delicious as well Extremely well seasoned Had the beef patty and it was incredible, specially for the price Everything was great for the price If you want authentic tasting food, give this place a try.

I’ve been a MP Island customer for over 11 years. This was my first time at the Portsmouth location. I went for lunch right around noon on a Tuesday. They were quick and the service was amazing! I got jerk chicken with rice & peas, cabbage, plantains, and a chicken patty. Everything was fresh and delicious. I will definitely be visiting this location more.
