Kadene is the absolute BEST! Friendly, professional, and accommodating. I am EXTREMELY pleased with the service, as well as the food. I wish I could give Island Taste a million stars, but Kadene is the REAL star of the show‼️🏆❤️🙌🏾🎉🥰

If you are looking for great Jamaican cuisine. Here is the spot: right on 5th street a busy location. My favorite can’t go wrong is Oxtail, Pig feet, Fried fish and their Fried Chicken. After a long day at work from the hospital this is my must go spot for great comfort food to smooth my soul. The Oxtail is ultimately my favorite I will drive far just for it. Plus perfect for left overs to bring to work. Adds flavor the next day:) If you want a quick fix their Jamaican patties are great. Easy to hand on hand while walking and driving. I saw they have soup specials. What even more cute is the have daily specials. I always try to make it on Thursday for the cow foot.

I'm so disappointed in the food I had to write a review as soon as I finished eating. Their oxtails overpriced to only get 6 pieces of oxtails full of fat & bones. The oxtails barely had meat on them, the rice was hard & the platter itself wasn’t hot. Food didn’t taste fresh. $21 dollars wasted never again.

Food was amazing! I ordered jerk chicken, rice and beans with cabbage topped with mild jerk sauce. I was satisfied with the amount of food for a medium. Anymore I would of been sleep afterwards. The customer service was pleasant. Will definitely comeback again! Highly recommend it, if your in the neighborhood stop by. You won’t regret it.
