I LOVE their food especially the Curry Goat Roti & their Jerk Pork. And their Chicken soup in the winter is my absolute FAVORITE. The beef Pattie’s are always fresh & hot as well. Great place overall.

BEST Caribbean restaurant hands down!! We had oxtail, ackee and saltish and steamed fish. They all were all absolutely amazing!! The taste of each meal brought us back to Jamaica! You could tell that lots of love and care went into every meal! Just like mama use to cook it!! Wait, how could I forget the Jerk chicken and triple mixed porridge. Best in the WORLD!!

I was longing for some nice Jamaican restaurant food because I was tired of my own cooking. My husband introduces me to Island Jerk Restaurant and it is my choice when I don't feel like cooking. The food is delicious, I could taste the love in the food. I fully recommend this restaurant, if you want real authentic Jamaican food. ...

Not only am I their merchant service agent, but my wife and I enjoy their food as well. They bring a touch of Jamaica to Deer Park Long Island. They also have another location located in Wyandanch by the rail road station.

First I want to say I’m very particular when it comes to food. On that note my experience today at Island Jerk restaurant was incredibly. I had called the night before to place my orders of Jerked chicken, head goat soup, cornmeal porridge, callaloo and dumplings. When I got there my food was ready to go. Thank you for excellent customer service and very tasty food. I am very happy customer and I will definitely come back.
