The vibe you have your one love kind of music playing and some other know island music playing to enjoy the atmosphere it was very vibrant and chill with a lot of space to enjoy food and drinks and sit down. The service was smooth and pleasant and quick with us getting our order. We both got the small jerk chicken special where it comes with two sides 13.99 x2 plus taxes. With our two sides we got Mac and cheese which is up charge , and the other sides are no up charge all sides were good and didn't miss in the flavor department and jerk chicken was delicious and had that nice spice to it with the chicken be dark meat and falling off the bone you know it was made with perfection I was very impressed and would definitely recommend this place if your looking for some good Jamaican food.

The jerk Chicken was perfect. nice heat even though I'd like a little bit more. the rice and peas were top notch I can't complain at all. I'm happy with what they did with this particular spot especially if you knew what it was prior. it looks real nice on the inside. they have a nice bar and plenty of seating... I think the next thing I'm going to try is the Escovitch Snapper...

Small restaurant with polite and courteous staff. Music really nailed the vibe. Clean bathrooms for those who care!

Bear with me here; maybe this goes out into the abyss but I'm still gonna say it…read more Years & years ago I was wandering around the area & came upon Island Krave. It was brand new & the woman tending the store was friendly, energetic & passionate about the food she was serving. I ordered jerk chicken but she insisted on letting me have a taste of everything on the menu. Everything was delicious & I now had a new obsession- the sweet coco bread. For years after that whenever I was around I would pop in. I've since moved to GA and been living here for almost ten years. Any transplant will tell you sometimes only family & food keep you tethered to your home state. So happens this wknd I was in town for my sisters wedding & got my hair done a couple blocks away from Island Krave. As she finished up I placed an order on Uber eats, really excited for this meal- something familiar & missed. To see how the quality & care has declined truly hurts my heart. The portion of meat they served me was actually disrespectful to people who work hard for their money & choose to support a small business. These pictures are after they added some. If you're going to chop it to smitherens you need to measure it out to ensure the portions make sense. Anyone that cooks can tell you this is a thigh at best. & this is a $17 plate. I don't want to talk down on the place too much it's just sad how much of a let down the entire meal was after I felt like they threw my stuff together thinking it was being delivered and they wouldn't have to look me in the face. The Mac was good & the flavor of the chicken was as well. Cabbage mushy & salty. Rice is not yellow. & apparently $5 gets you one slice of coco bread now (I got two bc of my troubles, ha!) Idk I hope they can figure it out but personally I would never spend another dollar in this place.
