    the front of a restaurant
    Ian W.

    I stopped in at Island Flavor in Downtown Bennington recently. Upon entering, the place smells great with the aromas of fresh cooked Jamaican food. The place is takeout only or DoorDash delivery or pickup. There is a big blackboard on the side wall with food offerings. There are a couple game boards in the front with a place to sit to wait for your order. They offer Jamaican meals jerk chicken,curry chicken, oxtail, curried goat, esco fish, steamed fish, curry fish, served with rice & beans and steamed cabbage & plantains. They also have festival, meat pies and juices too. I ordered a Steamed Fish Dinner ($20 plus tax) served with rice & beans (peas), steamed cabbage and plantains. They said it would take about 30 minutes to be ready, which was fine with me knowing the food is prepared to order. I got my order, boxed and bagged in 30 minutes as quoted. I enjoy this dinner at home. The steamed fish (snapper) was filleted topped with chopped peppers, onions, & greens in a savory sauce. The rice (light colored) & beans was soft going well with the shredded steamed cabbage and 2 plantain slices. Good flavors! I will be sure to order some meat pies with my next order

    Esco Fish!

    Tried this Jamaican cafe in Bennington,Vt. Got the curried chicken comes with rice and beans, fried plantain and sautéed cabbage. My husband said it's good but want more curry sauce. fried plantains was not ripe, and cabbage could have been warmer he said. Now my esco fish was made to order. It was as expected but could use a little salt. It brought back memories of my Jamaican co-workers, i always look forward for lunch breaks/dinner breaks just to smell and taste their food. Love the rice and beans. Will try the beef patties next time, non available today. We do like our food hot (temperature) i guess i could have warmed it up in the microwave. This a take out place.

    It was excellent, but too salty for me. Next time I will ask for less salt and see how that goes.

    Found out about this place from a tik tok and man were we so happy. This place was absolutely…read moreamazing and the nicest family that runs it. Got the oxtail, curry chicken and jerk pork. The oxtail was out of this world. The rice and beans, plantains and cabbage were incredible sides. Amazing flavors and seasoned so well and price so reasonable for what you get! Will definitely be going back here 100%

    Just when you think you've seen it all and eaten it all in Saratoga along comes this place. Jumpin…read morejesus on a pogo stick. Fan freakin tastic. The wife and I decided to check it out on a Friday and it's at the k of c (not kfc) and this guy is just whipping up authentic Jamaican (I know because I've had authentic Jamaican) in this rando spot with 1 other person. At 7 there's a line and no more oxtail stew because they sold out at 330. So we get jerk chicken, brown chicken stew, rice and peas, cabbage, fried plantains and a meat pie. See you in 45 min!! So we go to Stewies and get a 4 pack of corona for $7.99 we head back and the line is longer. So we grab the food and it's a whopping $38 bucks. For all that food. Ironically the same price I paid for the sub par chicken parm at Noah's a few days before. So for $45 including the corona's from stewie's, we grab a table and have some tasty ass jerk chicken. And the brown stew was insane. Meat pie? Meat hi!!!! Rice and cabbage spot on. I still struggle with plantains but these were fairly good. But that's because I'm not a plantain fan. Otherwise this is the real deal. No frills insanely tasty and Jamaica spicy. So if you're looking for a cool laid back date night grab some suds from the stewies or maybe a nice rose and dig in. I should've taken some pics...next time.

But for our little family with two impatient toddlers and somewhat more adventurous palates, we soon learned to seek quick, casual, and delicious. And Jamerican offered that. Unfortunately, on the evening we wanted to try it out, it poured, so we returned for lunch the next day. We ordered the jerk chicken meal and the ackee and saltfish meal--which were simply amazing. So flavorful and generously proportioned. The jerk chicken was incredibly tender inside yet crispy on the outside. The seafood was scrumptious as well. The very kind owner even gave our kids a side of. mac and cheese for free. The seating was very cleverly set up next to the food truck with a canopy for sun cover. This was one of the best and most unforgettable meals during our short vacation in Manchester. The food truck is next to a little brook with a trail good for hiking.

It was tender and fell off the bone. Then, the jerk chicken, those were some of the best jerk chicken I have ever had. Very flavorful just enough spice! Our least favorite is the curry goat. It was gamey and too salty. Lady was very friendly. I can just go back for the jerk chicken. Will miss you when I leave VT.
