Great local spot for Jamaican cuisine. Food was good, staff very friendly, portions are decent size. A bit Americanized though… the jerk chicken entree arrived with a container of barbecue sauce. Entrees are fairly priced so good value for your money. Improvements could be made by removing the big plastic wall between the person taking the order and the customer. It’s a bit of a shouting match to get the order through to the person behind the plastic dividing wall. The menu presentation could be better if laminated and placed on the order countertop. I’d definitely visit again though,
First time trying oxtail and curry goat plates. Also had the beef patties. Beef patties are delicious!! Great flavor, not too much pepper and crust is flaky. My husband and I did not like the rice and peas, just not what we're used to and the lettuce instead of steam veggies was also a cooling the tongue surprise. Great tasting overall. We will be back
Island Fork Jamaican restaurant is a spot worth waiting for. Although the wait time for your food might test your patience, the payoff is absolutely worth it. I recently placed a to-go order of jerk chicken, and let me tell you, it's easily one of the most delicious jerk chickens I've savored in the Austin area. The seasoning was spot on, striking the perfect balance between spices and heat. If you’re a fan of bold and flavorful dishes, Island Fork Jamaican restaurant is a must-visit.
So I landed in Austin and I was extremely hungry. I stopped by this restaurant for a bite to eat. First, the order took more than 25 minutes to be made ready. Second, once I got the food, the rice didn't look appealing because it looked warmed in a microwave. Since I paid all that money for the Oxtails, I figured I should try and eat them....well, they were EXTREMELY SALTY! In fact, my entire dish was wayyyyy too salty. I couldn't eat it and I'm very disappointed with this.
Been looking for a good Jerk spot since moving from London. Spoilt for choice there with good Jamaican food. This place is decent, good quality meat and rice+pea. Lots of differences to what I’m used to, no option for gravy on chicken or sides, Coleslaw is steamed instead of cold. No homemade signature sauces, normally see a ferment hot sauce and home recipe jerk. Good portions. Definitely coming back.
