“ 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 ricepea. 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. ”
“ Just stopped by for takeout. Me and my fiance ordered the curry chicken, the rice and peas, and the cabbage. Everything was pretty good. Chicken had lots of flavor and rice was cooked perfectly. Our to go plates were packed full with food. I got full with just half my plate. Service was great, everyone was really friendly,even tho we showed up 15 minutes before they closed (we didn't realize they closed at 9 and we were really craving it lol) ...but we were still greeted with smiles. Looks like its the whole family running the place which i love. The restaurant was clean and i liked the artistic chairs they had, adds a lot of personality to the place. ”
“ So far my absolute favorite place, the flavor was sooo good and portion size was better then other places I like having more meat and they gave it for the price. I've had Jamaican and Caribbean food from all over the US and so far in the Austin area this place is it! I definitely will be back again and again! So glad my friend told me about this place keep up the good work guys! ”
“ By far the best Island food I have ever tasted in my life. There is not one thing on the menu that is anything less than phenomenal. GOD Blessed the Chef's. The Customer service is outstanding, and the atmosphere takes you out of Texas and straight to the West Indies!!! I can't wait to go Back. I for see more of these chains popping up all over!! SAVE ME A SEAT PLEASE!!! ”
“ The customer service is warm & friendly. The food takes you [back] to the Islands!! It is flavorful and prepared with love. The portions are abundant for the price. The restaurant itself is very clean. This will be my go-to place for Caribbean food. ”
“ 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. ”
“ Island Fork is somewhere everyone should visit at least once! This was my first time having oxtails and, I kid you not, it was life changing; my plate also came with plantains, rice & beans with gravy and salad...everything was incredibly delicious and complemented each other perfectly. Right now, every Sunday 1pm-5pm, they have a Dj outside, bottomless rum punch(with authentic 100proof rum) with a Domino’s on site and BYOB. I will definitely come back as soon as I can! ”
“ Thought this place was really good. We tried the Curry chicken and the Jerk chicken. They both came with plantains, salad and rice and peas (beans). My wife enjoyed the plantains which were crisp as well as sweet and tangy but not greasy. The curry chicken was good as well as the Jerk chicken. The Jerk chicken reminded me of the chicken and peas and rice I had on Roatan island. Both the Curry and the Jerk chicken dishes were a little spicy but not extreme, the Curry chicken being a little less so. The rice and peas were not spicy but be aware that there are little pieces of pepper mixed in and will catch you by surprise if you get one. I will definitely eat here again. ”
