This is the real deal! Fantastic curry and jerk recipes. Fried plantains are delicious too. Worth the trip from anywhere in and around Roanoke! Generous portions at a reasonable price too.

I googled this place while traveling with my employer. And it was GREAT!! I had the oxtails with rice and beans and jamaican cabbage, coco bread and a beef paddy and it reminded me of the Islands. The oxtails are so tender and mouth watering. Also, the customer service was better than most of these big chain restaurants. I would definitely recommend Island Jerk. Thank you for feeding my soul.

So the place doesn’t look like much but if you have ever been to Jamaica and gone to the real local places, this is what you might find. (In fact a little fancy in some cases.). The gentleman behind the counter was Jamaican, and everything on the menu was Jamaican. (My Jamaican friend was super ecstatic about the place – and that’s really the best recommendation you need.) Can’t tell you how the chicken tastes – but it’s on the menu.

For $13, the large jerk chicken would have been a pretty good deal, until you actually taste the food. All you can taste is lighter fluid. An hour after you eat the chicken and you burp, you will still be tasting lighter fluid. IDK how I’m the only person to complain about the lighter fluid taste but that’s all you smell or taster.

This place never lets me down. Their curry goat is the best. I simply can’t get enough of it. Living in Charlottesville makes me appreciate this place that much more because Charlottesville knows absolutely NOTHING about authentic Carribbean cuisine. The truck owner is cool. He comes off as a little irritable, but that’s only because he works so hard.

Wow! Just… oh, my God! We stumbled upon this place when our lack of planning a dinner reservation but us in the hooha. Scrambling, we looked to the left and saw a food truck. With low expectations, we ordered but were pleasantly-and I mean PLEASANTLY-surprised. The food was an explosion of flavors. I recommend the jerk chicken and curry chicken. The meat falls off the bone, the flavor is indescribably sensational, and the price is worth it. Trust me. My fiancé and I talk about this place expanding to a restaurant all the time. It should.
