The Island Spot

If you’re looking for authentic Jamaican flavors with an island vibe, The Island Spot is the place. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warm hospitality that makes you feel right at home. The atmosphere is vibrant, since we dined on Sunday after church, the gospel music was on point. The food was absolutely outstanding! We had the Curry Chicken with rice & peas and cabbage, Brown Stew Chicken with rice and peas & cabbage and a beef patty with coco bread. The chicken was falling off the bones. It was so good we placed a to go order for dinner. The rich, flavorful gravy had us savoring every bite. Our server Marlow provided top-notch service. He was friendly, attentive and made some great recommendations. The expedient service, the vibe and delicious cuisine delivered an unforgettable Caribbean experience. Can’t wait to go back!🏝️🔥

Today's wait longer than expected for not busy at the time. I thought possibly a good thing because maybe the food is been made fresh. I ordered Ackee and Saltfish. I was surprised at how small the serving size was for the price, pic included. Server seems preoccupied with his conversation with fellow employee then his phone. I rated this place in the middle because I had better service earlier in the week and the Jerk Pork meal tasted okay even though again the serving size was still surprising.

The Island Spot in Carrollton recently catered lunch for our corporate office, and when I say the food was on point, I mean it. Everything was so true to authentic Caribbean and Jamaican flavors. From the main dishes to the sides like the cabbage and plantains, every single item tasted fresh, well seasoned, and exactly how it should. It is rare to find food that captures the true taste of home style Caribbean cooking, but they absolutely delivered. I could honestly eat here every day if I could. Highly recommend for both catering and dining in.

Love the Jamaican food here! It has become one of our most favorite eateries. The service can be a bit slow when it gets busy, but I promise you it's worth the wait. I highly recommend you visit this authentic joint if you're in the mood for a taste of jerk or curry chicken or better yet, oxtail!

Honestly one of the best Jamaican food I’ve had in a while! The serving of Oxtail was decent, rice tasted good, and the callaloo was also good. Callaloo was a bit too soft for my preference, but maybe others like it that way. However, it was very tasty. The oxtail was a tad bit salty, but the tenderness really made up for that. Overall, I did enjoy it! Definitely my new go-to spot. Customer service is also immaculate.

I was getting a lot of recommendations to try this place out being that I moved to Dallas recently from Jersey. As a Haitian woman, I kept my expectations low, and I’m happy I did so. The flavors of everything ordered was something i’ve never tasted before. The red snapper had some sort of sweetness to it. Why? The portions were tiny. And if you know anything, caribbean people gonna give you some rice. They gave us a scoop of rice and the beans were not soft. Paid $10 for one piece of the escovich fish filet. By far the tiniest piece of fish I’ve ever seen, smaller than the bagged frozen fish from the supermarket . The stewed chicken was bland and also hard. The curry shrimp… bland.The beef patty.. bland. Too expensive for their portions. Won’t be trying again, maybe only for drinks. It’s nice inside, and the service was good.

We had such a great experience at this Jamaican restaurant for my hubby’s birthday lunch. The food was fresh, flavorful, and full of authentic taste, and the bread pudding was amazing!! As you can see in the picture, we devoured it. What really stood out was the service. Our server, Marlo, went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcomed and taken care of. He was attentive, friendly, and made great recommendations. And just found out that he also made the bread pudding! OMG!! It’s rare to find both amazing food and excellent service in one place, but this spot delivered both. I’ll definitely be coming back and asking for Marlo!
