Jamaican Restaurants near Freeport, NY

“Good place to get some delicious food. J*** chicken with rice and peas was very delicious but be a little cautious with finding a few chopped bone pieces. Shrimp and chicken patties were delicious and flavorful too, with a very flaky crust. Friendly staff.“

“The food is consistently good. Never had any problems with food or service. Owners make you feel like you are their personal friends. Little slow on the phone answering but that is because they are so busy. Well done Island Taste, keep up the excellent work.“

“Excellent & professional service. Your warm welcome and generous accommodations were greatly appreciated. Highly recommend. Authentic & delicious food. The atmosphere & ambiance were exceptional. Special acknowledgement to the owner & my dear friend, Naala & her professional & courteous staff, Shari, Jermaine, Nick & the entire Dunns River Lounge Staff in Rockville Centre, NY“

“If you are looking for amazing Jamaican food AND outstanding customer service, look no further! The owner only sells quality food and it is a family owned business. Amoya (hope I spelled it right) is mostly there serving the food whenever I go and she is an absolute pleasure to interact with. I can honestly say they serve their food with LOVE and GRACE. Money spent here is money well spent.“

“I called the restaurant today on my daughter’s birthday (2/26/24) to ask for a table for 5 people including two children. I was told there’s not enough seating for everyone but they would gladly accommodate us at the event space next door. I agreed. My family arrived at around 6 and the two ladies took our order and Yvonne took a few minutes to prepare the table for us. When she led us into the room we were so delighted and astounded! The place was so beautifully decorated, and she managed it in a very short time! All the food was delicious! She made my daughter feel so special, she danced with the girls and helped cut the cake! I was very lucky and blessed to have been given this wonderful memory! It was such a pleasure to meet Yvonne, she is so sweet and has such a good heart! I will definitely be back again soon!Dietary restrictions: Totally Vegan and plant based menu.Kid-friendliness: Yvonne was so sweet with my girls.“

“If it's one thing I appreciate from this place is the portions. Now a days it's hard to find good homemade type food for a decent price. But at Uncle Don's they don't skimp out. I love the sweet plantains. Rice and peas was a bit dry but the flavor is still there. Jerk chicken has flavor without overpowering everything else. The Spicy Beef Patty uff.. my favorite. The staff is very friendly and helpful. It is a great establishment for this community. It brings good & delicious carribean food to this part of Long Island. I highly recommend this spot“

“They did not have what I order but called and still fulfilled our order. I wish I took a picture of the food! Ordered the boneless jerk chicken, oxtail, rice&peas & Mac and it was delicious. Got sweet sauce and oxtail sauce on the rice. Tropical juices good too. Will order again!“

“The trick with this place is you have to catch them around lunch time when that jerk chicken comes right off the grill and ask for the extra sauces on the side to take this experience to the ultimate level yummy! Also just a heads up they make great soups as well I've tried the chicken soup and others as well great on a cold day to help warm you up on the insides! Last but not least the jerk pork is where it's at as a nice side to your Oder to add a little more flavor and variety to your dish enjoy!“

“Buffet has every selection of authentic Jamaican food. Curry chicken, stew peas, liver, pepper shrimp, escovitch, porridge, soups. Everything taste nice and fresh. Seafood is $2 more per plate but it’s nice to pick out the portion of what you want and not have one big heavy dish of oxtail. When u don’t want to cook but want home cooked food Ashlee have it. Respect“

“I admit I should be 5.star thankful that I finally found some ackees and saltfish for breakfast. ? But it needed just a little more spice for me. Not more heat, just more zing, y'know??But the curry mutton the night before, ? now that had some zing, hands down. ? So maybe, yeah ? it's 5 stars after all.?????Parking: Safest place to park is on the same side of the street as the restaurant. But it is located on the corner of a major intersection, so that's not saying much! Keep a sharp eye out! ?“
