Island Vibes

Nov. 21, 2023Came here with my friends and tried out their Jerk Tuesday. Comes with rice, charcoaled chicken, and sweet plantains. Make sure to get their spicy sauce (extremely spicy but so good)!!! I usually get their Ox-Tails (hands down), please check them out

We tried Island Vibes today for an early dinner. Very small place. Food decent at best. Ox tails not to my taste and over priced. Small order with a lot of rice and beans was almost $19.00/Wife had fish and rice and beans. Two soft drinks and two meals with tax was $61.00. I'm going to stick with a chain restaurant for my ethnic adventures.

My friend brought us here, but I had them bookmarked somehow. We ordered 2 dinners. A jerk chicken dinner and an oxtail dinner. Everything was feeshly prepared and seasoned well. My large oxtail wasn't that large, tho. Everything was ok, just nothing to write home about. I could try some other things. I might double back when I'm in town. Their prices weren't bad. It also appears to be a lounge or bar after dark.

Tried this out for lunch today. Husband got the small oxtail plate and I got the jerk chicken plate. The food was hot and good but portion size to price is more on the steep end. They give you plenty of rice and beans, and cabbage and peppers which are both good but the oxtail was small and only had 3 pieces which isn't worth the price in my opinion and the jerk chicken had a kick but was also very dry and over cooked. Service was good and clean area just very humid inside the restaurant. I would recommend to try this place at least once.

Wonderful People... Wonderful Food... Wonderful feel and look! Went in late night 15 minutes to close and ALL these assertions still held true.

The food was delicious and the portions were large. Spiced well and not overwhelming. The oxtail was perfect and the jerk pork was tasty. A small place that does a lot of takeout business. They have Caribbean music playing nonstop and they even played some stuff from an artist that my wife and the cashier were talking about. We will definitely be back!

Came all the way from Memphis an was told about this place from a good friend I got the curry chicken. Definitely seasoned well Rice was ok not as seasoned an the cabbage was good as well. I also ordered a side of Mac n cheese. I was not a fan I could tell it as day old an that they just popped the Mac n cheese in the microwave an nuked it Besides tht I enjoyed the curry chicken an would definitely go back for the jerk wings

I love this place... I love they have roti and the flavor of the food is amazing. Last time I came here was about 10 months ago and they only had carry out so it's honestly a food you should seat down and enjoy but the option works for now. My favorite is the Ox tails plate. Hands downs. They have other plates like Curry Chicken Roti and Curry goat roti, but that's what my heart desires every time I have come. My dad brought me some after I gave birth to my daughter and they wrote a nice congratulations message on my box. How sweet?They do fill the box to over it's capacity so that's always nice :). Even the small plate is filled to a max.The restaurant does have an island vibe specially during the summer. They feature flags from different countries as decor and bright colors. The staff has always been nice and friendly.Always a good experience and great food.Come check them out!

I am born & raised from Chicago Illinois- me & my husband tried it on 02/15/2025. This was far most the worst Jerk Chicken I've ever ate!! The chicken was very very very dry!! the cabbage had too much vinegar!! the rice was dry!! although the plantain was ok!! IMJ if you're looking for some real good jerk!! Do not go here,, I'm sorry but you guys have to do better!! but their very nice,, thats the positive part!

First off- I ALWAYS recommend Island Vibes to any and everybody who wants Jamaican food. Always! I been coming there for yearssss. I was so pissed off when my girlfriend brought my plate home. I know inflation is crazy but please make this make sense! $18 per plate- $40+ spent in total on two plates like.... A whole 2 1/2 pound pack of oxtails from Costco is about $28-$30 A bag of brown rice- $1.80A head of cabbage - about $2You get my point! What in the scam is this?!! Y'all gave us 2 small ssa oxtails and a whole plate of sides! Like what? If I wasn't almost a hour away, I would've brought this right back up there I promise!!! Ain't no way y'all playing with people money like this! And she ain't know y'all was gone do that until AFTER she paid or else it would've been a HECK NO!!! This wallet is smallllll- compare the size of debit card to this container and IMAGINE what size oxtail could possibly be in it. This really irked tf out of me and I dont even make reviews but this was some bull$h!t!
