Islander's Cafe

I always drove by this place when going to work and never had the opportunity to stop in. Today was my lucky day! I stopped in to get some lunch, and was shocked with the amount of people that came in and out of there! It's a tiny place, takeout only, and their service is quick! Let me tell you, I was only in there for about 10 min and a good 15 people went in and out! They have $10 lunch specials, and wow is the food delicious!!! The lunch specials come with a canned drink, or you can get a bottled water. I got the jerk chicken lunch special, but they have a huge selection of sides and sauces you can choose from! I'm so happy this place is on my way to work, I'll definitely be coming back more often!!!

I fell in love with Caribbean food after living there for a few years.Tried this place based on the reviews.We had jerk chicken, curry chicken, and stew chicken.Those 5 stars reviews are 100% correct!Great food!Superb service!Super friendly staff!Very generous servings!Definitely will be back next time we're in the area.Highly recommended!

The service was excellent. No issues And it was a well run lunch spot. The food was not expensive. It was a great price for lunch. You can eat there there is minimal seating.

This was a decent place especially if you're looking for a good lunch takeout spot. The service was good and the food was surprisingly a bit bland. The cost was fair for the portion size I received.

The service was great, food was flavorful and great price if you catch the lunch special before it ends at 2pm!! No complaints for a home cooked meal @ $7!!

Islander's cafe is a Hollywood GEM ran by lovely chef Roseline. The food is always made fresh and hot with consistent flavors. The food is exceptional value for portions served, and I am a sucker for a good deal!There are so many options to select from for a quick grab and go lunch . You get a protein plus two sides and a drink for under $10bucks! Deal!!! Inflation proof here!The options I've tried are in my past 5 years as a regular.Fried pork chops-big meaty tasty not your baby chops.Fried chicken - seasoned savory batter not overly greasy Fried tilapia - light and crispy also seasoned wellCurry chicken- delicious chunks of meat in a yellow curry perfect for riceJerk chicken - tender moist with just the right amount of jerk.Brown stew chicken- OMG my favorite goto for chicken in sweet brown stew gravy mixed with rice & peas. The sides also include three different types of rice. Yellow rice, rice & peas, and white rice. Always happy that the rice is soft and hot and not dried out and greasy.There's also corn, cabbage, fried plantains, green beans, corn bread , and I'm sure there's a few more I'm missing.Dinner portions are also generous and take care of my hungry family. Thanks for feeding the neighborhood!

Our family friend had them cater for their son's birthday party and we really loved he food.So when we were planning for my baby shower, we made sure we got their contact information.My Hubby placed the order in advance and we were able to pick up an hour before the event.My Hubby, knowing me well, ordered me a side of macaroni and cheese to myself.For the baby shower we had jerk chicken, brown stew chicken, and cabbage.The food was so delicious and myself and other guest especially raves about the macaroni and cheese.

I wanted to like this place... like I really wanted to like this place, so much so that two stars is me "wanting to like this place." Anyone who has ever traveled the Caribbean knows the best places are off in the cut, not many aesthetics, the service is less than desirable, but the food is amazing! This place meets that criteria with one exception... The food is TERRIBLE. First of all this place sells more soul food than Island food. I went to this place 90 minutes before closing and the server basically told me "what you see is what you get; we are about to close." I had the "brown stew chicken" rice and peas and macaroni pie. The brown stew chicken tasted like Sweet Baby Rays BBQ chicken, the rice and peas was dry and cold and the macaroni was No Bueno. Most places I'd give another shot, but I'm sorry "Islanders" cafe... rename your place and I may come back...not expecting a taste of the Caribbean but a soul food pot luck.

The best place for lunch or dinner! Everything is amazing especially the Mac n cheese and curry chicken! Today I had shrimp--the best!!! The food is always delicious and great prices too!

It appears to be closed down, I've went there several days during their working hours but it was closed up with metal shutters.
