    Oxtail with rice, butter, beans, greens, and plantain
    Joy F.

    I had to make another stop so I got oxtail again and this time I added some plantains and some greens. The service is always great. It only took five minutes until my food was ready for pick up and they rung us up as soon as we walked in and had a welcoming face, the ambience was great. The place is very colorful, and there were so many beverages to choose from

    Jerk BBQ Wings Full combo no cabbage...

    0/10 - Complete Waste of Time and Money I spent over 30 minutes just to pick up an order that was completely wrong and honestly inedible. I paid $27.66 for undercooked wings, no cabbage (which was supposed to come with the combo), and a meal that was nowhere near what I ordered. To make it worse, there was no receipt, no apology, and no accountability. I'm genuinely considering filing a chargeback--because I didn't pay almost $30 for food I couldn't even eat. Absolutely disappointed. Double check your order before leaving, because clearly they won't. I won't be returning.

    I would have loved to give a glowing review, but my order was incorrect. The service was adequate…read moreand quick. It took about 10 minutes for my food to come out. I appreciate that the food is made to order -- it was piping hot! My only gripe is the fact that I replaced my rice with mac and cheese (which costs extra according to the website) and my order was wrong. The cabbage and jerk chicken were alright, but I was disappointed to see rice instead of mac and cheese. I would recommend checking your food before leaving to avoid this issue from occurring. Also ask for utensils because they don't always remember to give them.

    This spot was a great find overall…read more 5/5 Today I had their jerk chicken and all I can say was that it was amazing. It came fresh off the grill and it was the best I have tasted since moving to Maryland. The portion size was perfect for the price. The chicken was well seasoned with the perfect amount of spice and smokey flavor. 5/5 The beef patty was hot with the right amount of flake and filling. Every bite had beef and crust. 5/5 -The fresh juice is made in house and made daily. I got 2 drink today the ginger and pineapple and the ginger and cucumber. Both had me wishing I had gotten more flavors. 4/5 I also had the oxtails Mac and Cheese was also good, but it is a really small portion for the price. The staff was super friendly and answered all of my questions. I look forward to returning to try other options on the menu. There is no space to eat in, but it's super clean and organized.

    I finally made it to IQ Bar And Grill to take advantage of their happy hour. They have one bar…read morewith less than 15 seats. When I walked in, the only seat available was on the corner and it was oddly placed and there isn't any counterspace for whomever sits there. The hostess offered me a two-seater table next to the DJ booth, so I sat down. I looked over their happy hour menu and decided upon a margarita because that is what I decided to go with prior to arriving since their spirit menu was lacking in variety of real tequilas. I walked over to the bar to look at what they offered and didn't see much either. The hostess is extremely extra and started calling me baby from our initial interaction . . . . ummmmm . . . . is this not a place of business, I wondered. It triggered me and reminded me of being asked, "You want hot sauce and ketchup on your french fries baby?" from the corner store lady when I was little. It's no now and was no then. I'm guessing some people find this as being extra friendly when talking to black people but I find it unprofessional and belittling. It took a minute before she came back to take my actual order and meanwhile, I noticed a lady that was behind the bar earlier, now walking around. I tried to speak to her multiple times but she ignored me. I wanted to ask how the blueberry syrup for the margarita was made since sir was behind the bar earlier. When my server/hostess finally returned, I asked her if she knew and she quickly responded by telling me how the margarita itself was made instead of how they made the actual blueberry syrup. I wanted to make sure there wasn't any artificial blue dye. I went ahead and ordered the margarita and it was ok. The lady who I saw walking around brought me a glass of water after I ordered my drink I said hello to her as she placed it down and told her thank you and she didn't even acknowledge me or say anything back. Very awkward. The young lady who was serving me seemed to be the only server for the entire restaurant. Because of this it took so long before she even came back to check on me. I wanted to order food but kept trying to get her attention that she was busy with other guests. As I sat there there were more people who came in and walked out when there was nowhere to sit at the bar and some chose to be seated at tables. I tried to order food at the restaurant next door by calling but was informed they were not the same and I would have to order from IQ. I needed to leave so when I got up to take a phone call and walk out, I came back in and my server was there waiting for me. I asked how long it would take for me if I ordered food and was she informed me 20 minutes I said no thank you and Jess to close me out and bring me the check. She run me up on the tablet and only showed me the price. I gave her my payment and ask for the receipt when I noticed that it asked me to give additional gratuity for single digit percentages. Knowing that only occurs when an automatic gratuity is added on to your bill, I asked to see the receipt. She wasn't able to show me the receipt because she already charged my payment. I asked if gratuity was already included and she said it was a service fee. And then asked how much was it and informed her I wanted to see what I was charged so she pulled it up on another device to show me how much the service fee was. Why did I have to ask and why was this not told to me ahead of time? I'm so over restaurants charging automatic gratuity or service fee, giving you crappy service, and then hiding the fact is already included. Don't show me how much I owe, show me everything that I purchased so I can make sure I was charged correctly. Now this was easy because I only ordered one drink. Also, it was not written on the menu that gratuity was automatically added either. Part of me is so over it.

Sadly Conch Fritters were sold out - all the more reason to come back and try again. We had the $39 IQ Jamaican Platter which included ackee and saltfish, callaloo and saltfish, fried breadfruit, fried dumplings, and plantains. My friend had the bottomless Mimosas, she enjoyed them. Let me step back for a minute. Good People DO NOT SHOW UP HUNGRY BELLY ACTING A FOOL. Your food is made fresh when you order it. Now let me tell you THE Jamaican Platter is plenty of food, enough for two people. The food was delicious, served hot and seasoned just like backhome. Me greedy backside ordered the ox tail and grits and yes I did share some with my friend. Just so you aren't surprised you will be served GIANT Oxtail seasoned to perfection, it will have meat and marrow. The grits were more akin to polenta, creamy and delicious. There was a DJ and an MC the vibe was cool, relaxed and welcoming. The food delicious. I definitely look forward to returning and I hope they have Conch Fritters. Stop by and get some terrific, fresh, made to order food. You won't regret it. One Love!

    I stumbled across this Jamaican food truck while searching for Caribbean food on my way home…read more The gentleman who helped me was incredibly friendly and welcoming. I asked if the jerk chicken was spicy, and he explained that he purposely doesn't make the chicken itself spicy because not everyone enjoys heat. Instead, he lets customers choose between a mild or spicy sauce. I appreciated that because it gives everyone options and the sauce is yummy. He told me my order would take about 10 minutes, and it was definitely worth the wait. Everything tasted fresh and was piping hot when I got it. The jerk chicken was flavorful, juicy, and reminded me of the authentic jerk chicken I've had in Kingston, Jamaica. The cabbage was delicious too--honestly, every bite was good. I also noticed the grills set up behind the food truck, which made me feel like they were preparing the jerk chicken the traditional way. You can tell they care about the quality of the food. If you're looking for authentic Caribbean flavors and great customer service, I highly recommend giving this place a try. I'll definitely be back. Five stars!

Yes, at my own event That alone should tell you everything! Every single guest was raving about the food all night, especially the Rasta Pasta, which was a clear favorite. Kemar was exceptionally professional from start to finish. He delivered everything ahead of schedule and made sure the chafing setup was correct and ready to go, which made the entire process stress-free for me. What really stood out was the attention to detail. I had guests with dietary restrictions, including pescatarians and vegetarians, and Kemar handled everything with care. There was no confusion or crossover, and my guests definitely noticed and appreciated it. I truly can't express how satisfied I was. Not just with the service, but with how happy my guests were. That's what matters most when hosting. I would absolutely recommend Islington Kitchen for any event, and I'm already looking forward to stopping by the food truck to support again! ****************** Catering Order: - Snapper - Barbe-Fried chicken - Jerk wings - Rasta Pasta - Fried plantain - Yellow Rice ****************** Thanks again!
