Island Jerk Hut

The music sets the ambience but the food and service I would not return unless I was just coming cocktails and music. Cashier said, " Our food would be ready in 25-30 mins. However, it was nearly 4 pm. Staff has no connection with the patrons. For sure, I want return.

Did not disappoint!! I really want to give them 4.5 stars as that's what they deserve. I was worried because we were ordering late at night, about 30 mins before they closed. However, they were pleasant on the phone and meals were delicious! We ordered two large oxtails, plantains with rice and peas as our sides. Only complaint is that there wasn't enough rice for my husband and I. I usually don't finish my rice but I did and wanted more so I understood immediately when hubby said he wasn't full. The other portions were EXCELLENT! Nice sized pieces of oxtails and plenty plantains! As an African, I'm always irritated with the plantain portions as they are not expensive but this place showed out and I loved it! We ordered takeout, so I can't speak on the ambiance beyond the friendly service. But I expect it to be nice also given our to-go experience. We'll definitely be back!

The oxtail was pricey, but well worth it!! So tender and fall-off-the-bone moist, not to mention the sweet potato was soft as puddin' and tasted superb with the brown sugar butter side. Go for the fried plantains as the side! They were a nice dessert after my oxtail meal. Oh, and service was very quick, and the location was basic but clean. Can't complain!

Island jerk hut has always been my spot, haven't been since they were in that small shack pre-Covid. The prices have definitely gone up but that's everywhere so it's the norm. The taste is just as good and the portions aren't bad. If you go during the lunch hour expect to wait 15-25mins. Service was good.

My husband and I ordered to go. I got the large dark meat jerk chicken w/ steamed cabbage and rice and peas. My husband got white meat jerk chicken w/ Mac n cheese and rice and peas. We got a side of plantains to share. Every bit of it was delicious. The price wasn't bad either! We'll 110% be back.

I went once at their old location and it was too far for me to go back so I was ecstatic to learn that they opened a new location- which is a breath of fresh air compared to the literal hut they once had. The new restaurant is brighter and bigger and yes they have indoor seating! (The old place had a picnic tables outside). I went during lunch and was welcome with a warm friendly greeting. I'm not a fan of jerk chicken but theirs is the only place I would get it from. Not only did I order the jerk chicken to share but I also decided to get another Caribbean favorite of mine which is the brown stew chicken. I ordered the small size and it still comes with 2 sides just as the large does. The small is a really nice portion. The prices here are much more reasonable than some of the other Caribbean spots in the area. And IMO, tastes a whole lot better too! Another note to add: they also offer military discounts!

I had Island Jerk Hut for the first time. I had a craving and MP's is always packed, so i found this place on yelp and stopped by. I walked in and it was several people waiting on orders. So they seem to be pretty busy. I just knew the food was gonna be on point!! So i went to order with the young girl at the counter. She wasn't friendly at all. She had a nice nasty kinda approach and kinda rushed me by continuing to say "will that be all"? Thats a pet peeve of mine, when I'm done i will say that'll be all... Lol. Dang.. But maybe she was having a bad day.. Her and the cook were having words because he was hot and wanted to leave, so maybe he was aggitating her. But seriously do that in the back somewhere boo... Anyways it was a few things they were out of. So i ordered the jerk pork with mac n cheese and cabbage and a beef patty... Several people were talking about those beef patties, but there was only one left... I was told about 15 mins. So i left and came back 25 mins later and my little box of food had been forgotten. They said they were still waiting on something. So i asked how long and kinda got brushed off. It was very busy but kindness and professionalism goes a long way. So i continued to wait. The side orders are out in front where you pick up your food and i ain't gonna lie it didn't look appealing at all. If they aren't gonna keep it looking clean it should probably be in the back. But thats just my opinion. The food is a little pricey, and they charge extra if you get mac n cheese. So i finally got my food and left. The pork was a little spicy but didn't have much actual flavor and it was alot of fat. More fat than meat. The mac was ultra dry. There was cheese on top but none hardly in the middle. So i was just eating noodles it felt like. The cabbage was alright. The beef patties was my favorite thing. It was mild with good flavor and flaky crust... The plantains were ok as well but you don't get alot. Maybe it was an off day for them. So I'll give them another chance. But i wouldn't go out my way to eat here again. 3 stars.

I've been looking for a good Jamaican restaurant so I thought I'd give it a try. I've apparently passed this one plenty of time and just didn't know it was there. It is off to the side with plenty of parking which was nice. I was greeted upon entering which is too tier for me the associate was pleasant and answered any question a I had as a first time guest. I ordered the jerk chicken dark, rice and peas with cabbage. It was super tasty the cabbage was bland and not as hot in temperature as I would like but everything else was extremely good I'd just order a different side the next time I came. They had bottled beverages and of course I pared my meal with a pineapple soda! They had the vibes with the music going and just an over fresh feel. The associate mentioned they have happy hour and good rum punch so I'll be back! This restaurant has a full bar and drink menu with some things I'd love to come back and try.

Pretty good! I usually get the Jerk Chicken but I tried the Brown Stew Chicken and wasn't disappointed at all.

I'd give this place more stars if I could! Jerk chicken and pork were huge on flavor and moistness. Macncheese incredible! Yams were gooey if you like that. Plantains were wonderful! Prices were better than other places. Restaurant was clean and orderly. Staff was so kind and helpful. Even the other customers were magnificent. The cook is from Jamaica and enjoyed sharing stories. The fastest trip to Jamaica you'll ever have!
