Food was good, was surprised how flaky the beef patty ($3 each) crust was and how flavorful the filling was. Got the oxtail with rice and plantains, very tender and well seasoned. Was only a bit salty at the end when it was just the rice drenched in the sauce but loved the rest of it. The veggie garnish and plantains on top were delicious as well. Pretty inexpensive yet still quality food! Would get beef patty again and try other dishes when I get the chance next time!

My reviews are different. I do not announce myself or tell anyone. I am here to do a review!!…read more As I find myself driving a semi-truck, those long stretches on the road always work up an appetite. Since changing my diet and becoming more of a fitness fanatic -- nothing like the Philly Fanatic, but close -- I've been more selective about what I eat. Still, Philadelphia holds a special place in my heart, and when I got off the road and I was craving a cheesesteak. I couldn't find a good cheesesteak spot in the Harrisburg area. I remembered the place off 13th Street, but they no longer sell cheesesteaks and the restaurant has changed. So I switched gears and decided to get some fish instead. It was only 9:30 PM, and At Hookers Seafood & Fish -- an amazing place based off the consistency but it had already closed at 8 PM. Back on the hunt for food, I stumbled across Got Jerk Island Grill and Juice Bar in Midtown Harrisburg. The moment I walked in, it felt like I was teleported straight into the heart of Jamaica. Caribbean vibes everywhere -- lounge chair up front, Bob Marley on the walls, and a laid‑back atmosphere that made me feel like I should've had a coconut water in my hand. I talked to the chef and told him to give me his best dish. He served me curry chicken, rice and beans, sweet plantains, and cabbage. I have to say -- it was the best curry chicken I've ever had. The chicken was tender, cut perfectly, and shredded apart in my mouth. It fell right off the bone, and the curry had just the right amount of spice so you could still enjoy the full flavor of the meal. That's when I knew the chef knew exactly what he was doing and chose the right cut of meat.

I had the oxtail with rice and plantains and it was great, really great! The food was cooked perfectly and served in a very timely manner. There was really no waiters and waitresses, we was kinda on our own with finding a menu (besides the all pictures one on the tables) and ordering but it was a very comfortable experience. I personally felt at home almost. The lady behind the counter was very nice approachable with a smile that can light up the room. And for the price you pay for a plate, you get a mountain of food on your plate. I paid $12.00 for my plate of rice, oxtails and plantains which was well worth it. They serve so much that you have to take half the plate home with you in a clamshell box. Go for it!!!

On my most recent visit, everything was bland and lacked seasoning. The rice was dry, and overall the meal was disappointing compared to what I remember from previous visits.

I hope they can make improvements and get back to the standards that made me a repeat customer in the past.

The doubles? Exceptional. Soft, perfectly filled, and full of flavor. And the hot pepper sauce? Whew. It didn't just add heat, it elevated an already outstanding dish to another level. I ordered so many doubles I barely had room for anything else but I had to try the dhal and it was exactly what I needed. Comforting, rich, and done right. Everything tasted like true, authentic Trini food, the kind that makes you feel warm, satisfied, and already thinking about your next visit. I was literally craving it every single day for the rest of my Lancaster trip. The space itself is on the smaller side, but really cute and inviting. The service was great: friendly, welcoming, and made the whole experience complete. Whether you're new to Trini food or already know what's up, Calaloo will not disappoint. Trust me, you'll be planning your next visit before you even leave.
