Ordered jerk chicken, fried chicken and curry goat. Everything was bone dry! Jerk chicken was a dry rub no juices and dry like it had been smoked. Fried chicken definitely was cooked days ago and reheated and dried out. Curry goat was chewy and not tender at all. It was so dry that they did not have enough liquid to put over the rice. Flavorless and the rice and peas was dry and the gravy tasted tomato based. The food was clearly not fresh maybe cooked days ago and reheated. This was a waste of time and money. In service – the woman was not friendly whatsoever I felt like I was bothering her to order. I would not recommend this place for anything. It’s been years since I’d been there. What a disappointment- won’t go back.

It’s uncommon these days to get a good value for your money, but A Taste Of Island Spice does just that! The food is flavorful, the portions are great, and the price is affordable. The seafood is made to order, so you’re guaranteed to get a fresh meal. I had the catfish dinner and it was delicious! My sister had the stew chicken which she said was very good. Highly recommend.

Great Food,Ample Parking, Terrible Customer Service!
This is my 2nd time to this restaurant. My brother in law and sister in law eats here more regularly.
I cannot understand why this restaurant has not done anything about what appears to be a the 4-year old issue of ‘sucky’ customer service.
If you look at the reviews of this restaurant you’ll get appreciation for how much people are loving the food. However it is also very apparent that folks, including myself are tired of the attitude we get when we call or stop by to get our food from this place!
Last time there was a nice lady that dealt with us. I believe she might be the chef – she mostly works in the back. The roles here might need to be changed- the current lady at the front needs to go to the back and the lady in the back need to be the one to deal with customers period!
I agree with the almost 10 negative reviews that specifically mention this lady – google review even gave her bad reviews its own section.
Guys! Please fix this. Not good for business

Food is so good! I tried the oxtail and jerked chicken. Will definitely try more of the other dishes they have.

Im not sure what’s going on over there. This used to be my go to spot for oxtails, rice and peas and jerk chicken. I don’t even mind the extra cost, but yesterday they lost my respect. I remained a faithful patron despite the nasty attitude of the girl who worked there temporarily…until I didn’t see her as much- cool…but when you mess with the sole purpose of me going there- the food- it’s a wrap. I share the large oxtails with my daughter and we never have a problem. But on my last visit, they gave me SEVEN oxtails! Who counts food, right? Read on to see what led to my counting. Two of them had so much fat I would need a script of Lipitor to eat them. Three of them were so tough the meat didn’t retain the flavor, and two were just bones…. with all this rice and peas and soggy tasteless cabbage. I know meat is expensive and I would be good with that many pieces of meat if they were tasty and had LEANER – not lean- leaner meat on them. So, my advice- Go across the street to Reggae Kitchen (if they HAVE FOOD DONE) or depending on what you want 14 Parish….or settle for Golden Crust

I saw this restaurant On line, and drove a far way feeling for some good authentic Jamaican food.
I prayed about the experience, and I must say the young lady at the front was very Courteous and the rice and peas and jerk chicken tasted superb. The appearance of the restaurant is well overdue for a face lift, but I am glad I did not let that deter me. The cook looked pleasant as he glanced at me, and the food I tasted was delicious and the presentation was amazing. I would visit again to taste the oxtails.

Best patties around and oxtail is just amazing! Much better than the known name brand down the street. I was glad that it was closed and ended coming here instead. Simply Excellent.

Excellent Jerk Chicken as always. Portion size is good. Although there is complaint about customer service. I don’t come to restaurants like this for customer service. I come, pay, get my food and leave. The business model is not complicated. If you want customer service go somewhere else. I come for authentic Jamaican food. At least as close to it as possible.

Let me start off by saying this. The service was poor. The woman who was taking the food extremely RUDE and not welcoming whatsoever. I ordered a large plate of oxtails, and it came with only one small single slice of plantain. I have never gone to any Jamaican food restaurant and received one small single slice of a plantain, not EVER! To to it off, it was salty. That plate wasn’t definitely worth $25. Oh, and the jerk chicken was dry. I went to this place because I read that they had over a 4 rating. I was extremely disappointed and will never return to this nonsense of a restaurant if I’m ever in the area.
