★★★★★ 5.0 Ernest J · Oct 2025

MP Island Cafe is an absolute gem for anyone craving authentic West Indian cuisine. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with island vibes — reggae colors, tropical décor, and a warm “Wah Gwaan” that makes you feel right at home. The food is incredible. Their jerk chicken is perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection — smoky, spicy, and tender — and the jerk sauce is on another level. They also offer a wide variety of classic Caribbean dishes like saltfish and ackee, dumplings, oxtail, and much more. Every plate tastes homemade and full of flavor. Beyond the restaurant, MP Island Cafe doubles as a Caribbean grocery store, so you can grab essentials like dasheen bush, yams, or island spices to recreate your favorite meals at home.

Great staff, tasty food, they just need one more cashier to keep the line moving. Servers are really nice!

came at 11 AM — when everything should’ve been fresh — but the jerk chicken was burnt, dry, and hard. The cabbage had no flavor at all. For this to be early in the day, the quality was unacceptable.

MP Island Café has amazing food and a wide selection to choose from when dining in or taking out. The staff are friendly and take your order promptly. The beverage selection is wide and so is the alcohol (beer) selection. The best food (in my opinion) is the jerk chicken [white meat] and the two sides as a choice of mac and cheese. There is plenty of seating since a majority of the customers order out or get delivery. You can listen to their music while you eat and it isn’t loud in there at all. Overall, MP Island Café is a great place to go for food whether you’re eating out, dining in, or delivering to your home.

★★★★★ 5.0 Charilla Gillett · Feb 2026

Cynthia..Antoinette and Leo made a delicious meal enjoyable. Its so great to find actual home cooking admission all the processed food chains. Jamaican style is amazing. I love the curry. Think it was chicken i actually got veggie plate but curry had meat but oh my is it good. Im not a vegetarian just wanted something nourishing. So it hit the spot. Its Cafe style & not real fancy. Im a designer so ambience is big with me. So thats the only negative I have. If ya decide re redecorate let me know. But otd a fun place. Would recommend
