“Okay, I just finished eating my food 5 minutes ago and immediately ran over to write this review! Let's start with Michelle and Chef put some respect on his name, Marcus! They are both so kind and full of love. I felt like I was visiting my family. They answered all my questions and got me excited for the food. I was able to watch them make everything and wow, wow, wow! I could watch them make magic all day! I felt like I was watching a cooking show. Are there any producers out there? Get them a show asap! The FOOD! Wow, so many fresh vegetables, flavors were on point, and every bite was filled with love! Stop reading and go now! I live an hour away and yep it was worth the drive. Drive, ride the train...do whatever you need to do to experience this amazing place! I can't wait to go back! ? Much love to Michelle and Chef put some respect on his name Marcus!“

“Thank you to the 2 lovely ladies that help us today, The oxtail was amazing with the white rice and plantains, the curry goat taco and jerk-chicken taco were amazing, I definitely recommend coming here. We are definitely coming back to try all the other foods. Very delicious.“

“6/2024. I have been back several times. Went today, my #1 place for oxtails! If you love oxtails you have to go here. The staff are so courteous!! Prior review: Last week, I had a craving for some ox tails and decided to get some for my hubby and I at Royal Blends. It was my first time. I know getting ox tails these days are expensive, I got large for both of us. The portions was a good size, was not disappointed. The oxtails with the rice and beans were GREAT!. The ox tails were nice size and so tender and flavorful!! The staff was very nice too. Next time I have a oxtail craving, I will be back!!“

“The BEST Oxtails anywhere!!! I ordered oxtails with Mac & cheese, plantains, and rice with beans. Mouth watering, finger licking good food! The restaurant people there are very nice too. I was super happy, and full, when I left this fantastic Jamaican Restaurant!“

“Best Caribbean food in Poughkeepsie. Portion is less than other restaurants in the area but enough to fill your stomach. Savory stew chicken. Freshly cooked fried chicken, curry chicken and goat, oxtail with rice and beans dishes are few among the popular items offered. Best place for a quick bite or pick up your lunch or eat in the restaurant for dinner. Good friendly customer service.Parking: Street parking with paid parking meterKid-friendliness: Kids can get fried chicken or stew chickenWheelchair accessibility: No wheel chair access“

“I have had everything and I must say every dish is just delectable...but my most two favorites are cow-foot and fried chicken...I most definitely recommend Island House your number one spot for an authentic Jamaican cuisine.“
