Customer Reviews
Was in the area for a volunteer event. Someone at the event recommended this place. I’m super picky with island food because it can be so hit or miss and some things just aren’t authentic. But not this place! The ambiance was cool. It was a bit slow so it was quiet. There were only 2 people at the bar. The guy that took my order was cool. I ordered brown stew snapper, rice & peas, cabbage and a side of plantain. When I tell you that the snapper was so damn good!!! I’m writing this as I just finished my plate. I had an hour commute home before I was able to dig in. Everything was still so fresh. I will definitely be back to try other options on the menu.
Stopped in with my client and was greeted upon entrance, which is always the best start. We decided to dine in, and both got the jerk chicken sandwich. I also got a side of rice and peas. I go to Jamaica at least twice a year and was there 3 weeks ago, so I consider myself quite experienced with the cuisine. The sandwich was delicious and the portion was more than expected. I love that they use coco bread! The rice and peas could have used salt, but other than this, it was tasty as well. I will definitely return because I enjoy good food, so it will be my mission to try other offerings. Way to go Oasis Island Pride, you won me over!
Boy oh Boy I was not pleased with this food at all. My husband and I love authentic island cuisine and I’m sorry but this was not it. Jerk Chicken is supposed to be smoked with bone in chicken not grilled chicken with a bit of sauce on top. Greens are completely nasty no flavor whatsoever, barely any flavor/seasoning on the cabbage. Plantains should be cooked a bit longer and have some color to them like darker in color. Omg the rice and peas the absolute worse taste like cheap box rice again not much flavor. My first and last time going there not to mention they messed the order up both plates should have had rice only one should have cabbage. My husband and I are both sitting here with stomach aches.
Fantastic Jamaican spot! Giant dining room or a cozy bar by the entrance with a pool table to give you a choice of atmosphere. Food is absolutely fantastic! Juicy, fresh, and jerk has a perfect kick to it.
This place is great! We got the jerk chicken with rice & peas and stir fried cabbage, and the jerk chicken pasta! Both were very delicious! The service was also very good and the staff was friendly and attentive. We will definitely come back :)
