Island Pride

Local hole-in-the-wall with excellent authentic Jamaican food serving hefty portions. The goat was falling off the bone and the cabbage was perfectly cooked. My sister got oxtail and plantains which she claimed were some of the best she's ever had.

Delicious Brown Stew Chicken!This weekend I ordered the "Brown Stew Chicken" & Sorel Drink. The chicken & "gravy" perfectly seasoned & flavorful. The Rice/Peas & Greens also tender & tasty. Generous Portion. See Photo.

So disappointed. After moving to the area from DC, I really wanted some oxtail and took a flier on this place and I'm upset that I wasted my stomach space on this! I've never had a more bland oxtail dish and some of the meat wasn't even fall off the bone and I couldn't even get the gelatinous meat part off the bone. I even ordered extra gravy and tasted that and it had no flavor either.Their only saving grace was their spicy beef patty which was decent. I'm giving 2 stars instead of one because they did give decent portions as well.

It's a very popular and busy spot. Very delicious food choices, jerk chicken, jerk pork, curried chicken, beef and chicken patties, and much more. This is mostly a take put joint. Service is quick, depending on your order. Their prices are reasonable and good portions for the price. The staff is friendly and attentive. I recommend Island Pride.

Thank goodness some things remained the same! This was one of my favorite grab and go place (Montgomery Collage days) ... they mawesome Jamaican food. My number one choice is the Curry goat stew... well balanced flavor and spice, Got I with cream spinach,, collard greens... mmmm so good.

Don't waste your time trash... I ordered curry chicken I received rice and chicken bones with two potatoes.. the Caribbean food in Maryland is dead altogether especially this place

Did not enjoy the jerk pork roti. Roti was rubbery (like microwaved for too long) and that was paired with a side of jerk pork. The pork itself was just okay - a bit salty and not spicy enough for my preference. $25 for the roti and a bottle of coconut water, which in hindsight was very overpriced. Will not return.

I visit there frequently and I normally loved the food and the experienced but today was horrible! I paid for a large oxtail and when I got home i had may be 4 small oxtails with little to no meat. It's always the short, light-skinned woman that works there, whom give the smallest portions. This is the first time that this have happened to me. The owner and the owners always serve the perfect size and you don't feel like you're getting your money worth. People have told me to avoid her, but I gave her the benefit and she was as they said STINGY! I recommend to the owner to train her, because she's causing your business to not have returning customers. I couldn't enjoy the meal like usual, because I was upset!

I ordered the oxtail meal, cocoa bread, and beef patty and it was delicious! Perfectly seasoned to the point I will be back again soon. I live in the area so this will be my new Caribbean go to spot. Friendly staff team also!Nikki L.

I wish I had read reviews that the owner changed before ordering!! The portion size was plentiful but the food was bland!!!!!! I don't know how a Jamaican place can cook bland food!! No seasoning whatsoever!!! Don't waste your time ordering from here
