Island Jerk

Food requires some improvement
During my first trip to St. Simon’s island one weekend, I discovered this restaurant on Unilocal; the reviews were so positive, I had to try it for myself. Boy, was I disappointed.
I ordered the jerk chicken plate, which came with cabbage, 1 plantain (yes, ONE plantain) and flavorless rice. My fiancé ordered the curry goat plate, which came with cabbage, ONE plantain and flavorless rice. The jerk chicken was nowhere near authentic. It tasted as though the cook simply poured sauce over grilled chicken and served it to me. Tasted nowhere near jerk. The cabbage was decent; no complaints there. This is the first Jamaican restaurant I went to where I was only served ONE plantain. The server mentioned that only one plantain is served in Georgia, which is simply false. I have been to other Jamaican restaurants in GA and was served a lot more than ONE plantain. The curry goat was decent. The rice, as I stated before, required some major improvement.
The restaurant had two redeeming factors. The server was extremely friendly, accommodating, and informative. She told me where to explore on my first journey to St. Simons. She also suggested that I tried the mango lemonade. Delicious.
All in all, the food requires some improvement, but overall, nice ambience, friendly people, and delicious mango lemonade.

Generally, I pass through Brunswick when I come for business. I’ve never had time to visit downtown Brunswick so today I had some time to grab lunch. I’m glad I did. Island Jerk satisfied my hunger.
I ordered the oxtail and beef patty. Both were excellent. It tastes very similar to when I visited Jamaica. The food had great flavor and was not greasy which was awesome. Their house made vinegar was delicious. I enjoy any vinegary foods so I was glad to be able to add a little spicy vinegar to my meal.
The service was friendly and quick. It you need food fast and get back on the road, Island Jerk can do that. I lingered for a bit and they didn’t mind, which is also nice since I didn’t want to hit the road again right away.
I would recommend this restaurant to any local and visitor.

Awesome!!! Tasty and great customer service plus reasonable prices. What more could you ask for?!?

Although when I got there, they were pretty much in the weeds, Island Jerk staff were terrific and had big smiles on their faces. They were helpful and apologetic.
The food, wow it was excellent and a good rendition of true Jamaican cuisine. A small express plate of Jerk Chicken was more then filling. The cabbage was flavorful and the corn bread was wow-​zing!
This place is a little slice of heaven, I will gladly return.

Went here on a whim with my hubby the other day. I was so hungry we just stopped at the first place to eat that we saw. We were pleasantly surprised!!! I wasn’t sure how the food would taste, so I was offered a sample. I tried the jerk pork and it was so yummy! The service was great, the food was delicious, and the décor gave a comfortable feel. I will definitely eat here again. Have to save room for that rum cake next time. can’t wait to try it!

The food is authentic. The cook is from Jamaica. 95% made from scratch. Loved it! My new favorite place in historic Brunswick

I must admit. I
