Dunns River Island Cafe Hallandale Beach

The good: There were so many good options that it was hard to figure out what to get. Great service by the staff. The bad: The lobster, shrimp and salmon meal had few shrimp. Also, there's a 18% grutitudity for eating in. The review: Overall the meal was good and the service was better. I would definitely come back to try a different item on the menu.

In a word No. The other review about the ox tail being extremely fatty is very accurate. I wish I had listened and not ordered from this place. The beef patty was weird to say the least and just not good. None of it was good actually. The rice and beans was the real edible part and barely edible. Find a different restaurant to order from is what I recommend.

I'm a truck driver and it's hard to find good food on the road. I used to pass by this place many times when I lived down here but I always had my ex wife to cook at home so I never tried it. Well I'm back in town for a few days and been ordering the pasta non stop. Whoever is making this pasta should be charged with assault on the taste buds. The flavor is so rich and it's cooked to perfection.

My go-to is always the jerk chicken with rice and peas, but this time I added some Thai wings on the side — and let me tell you, they were mind-blowing. The sauce wasn’t runny at all; it stuck perfectly to the wings and even to my fingertips. They were that good. And this was a DoorDash order! I usually pick up my food. My food came fresh and still warm. Honestly, 10 out of 10.

I tried this restaurant for the 1st time & it didn't disappoint at all. The food was good the presentation on the plate was nice as well. The only issue was the 18% gratuity was a bit much for 3 people dining in. Our tab was almost $100. No one ate oxtails either... ($98 & some change) Usually it's added to party of 5 or more people. In most restaurants I've dined in.... Next time I will order to go! Overall food & atmosphere 8/10.
