“ The oxtail was fantastic and perfectly cooked! Plus the sides were all so delicious! I highly recommend. ”
“ This was I nice change for the pittsburgh area. When I walked in the guy was cleaning the door and windows. The Staff was very nice and the food was excellent one of the best jamaica eatery I have been to. I only thing you need to be aware of is if you park across the street be extremely careful because cars fly down the street in both directions. Also if you don't finish the food Do Not reheat in the container they provide you transfer to a microwave safe plate. ENJOY PEOPLE this is definitely a hidden gem. ”
“ I tell you this At first I wasn’t sure if I wanted to go inside but Hunny it a jewel a treasure full of goodness , I will always come back great food and great service and a healthy portion.. ”
“ Very friendly and clean. My first time trying Jamaican food. She took the time to explain and help me pick my first dish. I had Oxtails and they were amazing. My husband had curry chicken. I also got some beef patties. I've been a couple of times since then. I finally triedsomething different. Brown Stew Chicken. ”
“ Seems like today's the day for reviewing places I've eaten at in the past year and this take-out is one of them. The Chicken Jerk is the best I've had. It had just the right amount of spice and the portion was huge. I actually ate it for lunch and dinner because of the portion size. Go there. You won't regret it. ”
“ Delicious Jamaican food! Jerk chicken, cabbage, rice & beans, and a side of macaroni salad. (Macaroni salad is slightly sweet. Sooo good) Big portions! Will be back soon!! ”
“ I have been ordering from this place for months now. The food is delicious with hearty portions. They have never disappointed me. I love the spicy jerk chicken with rice & peas and steamed cabbage. Terrific flavors just like I had in Trinidad. I only gave four stars for the atmosphere only because I have never been in the restaurant. 10 out of 10 highly recommend! ”
“ Yummy , I am eating right now and stopped to write a review. So much food. This is enough for 2 people easily. The food was hot fast and tasty. I ordered the salmon and it is delicious. Not spicy at all, I will have to try the jerk next time. I ordered white rice and received the beans and rice but that’s ok because the rice is delicious. I would add drinks to the delivery options but I called before I ordered to work out that option. Who ever answered the phone was very nice and accommodating. I will order from Island Spice again. I really also enjoyed the cabbage because it not greasy or overcooked. 5 stars ”
