The Island Spot

I've been missing some good Jamaican food! We had a favorite family owned spot we went to weekly back home in LA, so I was really pleasantly surprised to find this spot.We do a lot of to-go but I've eaten there and I like the ambience. Service is great! Everyone is really friendly.I love the oxtail and red snapper and the chicken patties are my favorite.I highly recommend this place but come with an appetite!

Coming from the east coast where there are many Jamaican restaurants, this Island Spot does not disappoint! I ordered beef patties, plantains, jerk chicken, jerk bbq, stew chicken, rice and peas and Cabbages. The truth is, the meats were a little salty but we're decently seasoned. The jerk bbq was INCREDIBLE! That was the best item that we ordered. Our server was kind and let us stay there until the restaurant closed at 10pm on a Friday night. We had a great time and enjoyed great music. You wouldn't think it's a busy place from the outside but it's a nice location and busy.

So I've been wanting to try this spot for a while. My & my friend made a vow that we would try at least 2 new Restuarants every month. So The Island Spot was one of the places we picked for August. When I went I had a drink while I waited. I only drink brown so the host who was also the bartender made me an amazing drink. I had the Flaming Hurricane. For food I had the two meat plate with jerk and curry chicken with rice & peas and saffron rice. This food was soooooo delicious. This was my first time having Jamaican food and they did NOT disappoint. The service was amazing. The ambiance was very chill and relaxing. This food was so amazing we're going back another weekend. Def gotta get those jerk chicken nachos! Do yourself a favor and visit this place. Prices are great, service is great and food was amazing! PS.... I felt EVERY bit of that 1 drink! No weak drinks made!Double PS... I'm American not Jamaican. So what might be good or decent to me might not be to an actual Jamaican!

You get a nice amount of food and that's quite impressive for an oxtail entree. Oxtails were tender but I wasn't a fan of the gravy. Service was fast and was a simple process to order takeout

The Beef Pattie is Excellent!!!! Came out piping hot and spicy! The food!!!!! OMG is great and fresh!!! I can't wait to come back.!!! IYKYK!! The service was also top tier!great atmosphere!!!

I really wanted to love this place. We walked in and it took about 15 minutes to be seated. Once we were finally seated, it took another 30 minutes until someone approached us to even take our order. Once we finally ordered, the drinks were not good at all. Very syrup-y and lacked alcohol. I ordered the fried snapper and it was very much over cooked. My sister ordered the oxtails and jerk chicken. She gives it a 5/10. Overall I give mine a 4/10. Customer service was the worst part.

Food:The nachos were good as well as the 3 meat chicken combo.Service:Very nice people! Ambiance:Chill and casual.

I have never had a bad meal from here. The food is absolutely delicious. Perfectly seasoned every time. Every time I come back to Dallas I try and stop by

Yes! Another Caribbean restaurant for me to enjoy. I went in and placed an order for stew chicken and rice and mac n cheese. I got my order to go and was warned beforehand by the workers of the wait time. My food came out piping hot and they were very generous with the portions. My favorite part of the meal was the white rice. It was cooked to perfection. The stew chicken did have a tad too much browning in it but it was still delicious. The mac and cheese was good and had a different flavor. I definitely plan on going back next time I'm in the area.The interior is a bit dark and dim. They're a couple of tables and chairs and a bar with chairs. They were playing music. They were people seated enjoy their meals. The staff members I encounter were all pleasant.

I was really disappointed with the food, especially the oxtails. The gravy was the biggest letdown--it seemed like plain brown gravy was made separately and then added to the oxtails. The flavors didn't blend well, creating a strange mix between sweet and savory that just didn't work. The cabbage had a stir fry flavor which also seemed to compete with the gravy and oxtails.
