A Taste of the Island

I discovered A Taste of the Island by accident a few months back and I have been on it ever since. Every time I go, the service is good. The food is fresh, and the price point is a great value for the portion size and quality of food. My go-to quick meal is a Beef Patty with Coco Bread. Now, the beef patties are good and flavorful so you gotta get them early as they usually run out during the day (I get two when I go). The coco bread is always thick, fresh and very buttery. It is great by itself as well as with the patty. For a main entreè my go-to is the Brown Stew Chicken with Rice and Peas and Steamed Cabbage. Babeeeeeeee. It is a 10/10 every single time. It’s never a miss. The chicken is meaty, well flavored, and perfectly tender. The rice and peas are flavor and tender and hiit even

I literally just ordered jerk chicken lunch special, and my chicken was old and hard. My food was not hot and the sauce they gave me on the side was cold. Then to top it off if you wanted plantain it was an extra $5 which I declined. I asked for hot sauce, and they were out of that! If I had time, I would have gone back to tell them, so letting them and you all know here.

Food is mediocre at best. I had the curry chicken, with rice and cabbage, not fresh at all. Music too loud. My friend ordered the fried chicken wings, they murdered them hard and burnt. Nothing write home. $40 DOLLARS WORTH OF DISAPPOINTMENT.

A colleague and I were looking for a local place for lunch. He had never tried island food and suggested A Taste of the Island. Great choice! We both had jerked chicken. The flavor was great, the portions are big and the staff was very friendly.

Myself and my husband just got food from there today 12/28/24 @ 6:01 p.m. The young man working had an attitude. When we ordered our food we asked to have oxtail gravy on our rice, my husband even asked to buy a cup of the gravy. Out comes my food I ordered the medium rib plate, it looked like a small and I was charged $17.24 for this plate, and when he showed my plate there was ni oxtail gravy. So I asked if I could get gravy on my rice, he caught an attitude. We will not be back, always trying to support the people and get ripped off& attitudes
