Island Style - Boston

The best cow foot I've ever had! I was incredibly impressed! It was exceptionally fresh and bursting with flavor!

The jerk chicken and curry goat at this restaurant are fantastic! The cabbage and rice and peas are also spot on. Everything is perfectly seasoned, making it arguably the best place in Boston for these dishes!

Delicious food! I found the price a bit high for just a veggie plate and a bottle of coconut water, especially since I had to request the fried plantains as an addition. But I suppose everything is getting more expensive these days. The cooking was of good quality, though.

My first time ordering food there. It was not too bad I must say. I had the curry goat with a side of Mac and cheese pie. I wish they had a bigger space. The two young ladies in there are nice. They are doing the best they can but for the sake of parking spaces, they will probably need to hire more people to shorten the line and wait time.

She then offered me kidney beans with rice and stew, but I declined and asked for a coco bread beef patty instead. When she asked if I didn't want a meal, I thought to myself that a meal should be something I genuinely want to spend my money on, not something they were pushing because of poor service. Meanwhile, I could hear the staff chatting and laughing in the back while customers were left waiting, and there was no food being prepared or cooked promptly. This is why restaurants in Dorchester, Roxbury, Roslindale, and Mattapan struggle to thrive—due to a lack of customer service and a noticeable lack of effort. When my beef patty finally arrived, it was dry and tough, likely because it had been microwaved. Additionally, my dumplings were hard, so I ended up tossing them out. I paid $3 for two small, dry dumplings that were clearly left sitting around. I spoke to my Jamaican chef friend who told me that the best place to eat is Blue Mountain, and I should have called him first. I’ll be trying them next!
