A truly solid spot for good Jamaican cuisine. Just as yummy as they are fast and efficient! It's got a modest feel and there isn't a lot of seating, so I do typically stop in for take out. The food is star, anyway. While I favor the jerk pork, it's really hard to miss with any of their menu items. I've also tried the oxtail, the brown stew chicken, and a few other dishes. If you like beef patties, I would go early in the day because they are so flaky and fresh, and they're almost guaranteed to sell out...you've been warned! read more

Bad: Parking is horrible, because they sit on a corner lot There may be 11 spots including I think 2 handicap spots. I actually backed in front of the dumpster..tight. fit. I was nervous the car next to me would leave before me..they were angled a little slanted..but yay I pulled out before they did. Good: Service was good, food came out fairly quick. If you cared to dine in there are a few tables. I over heard a guest say the hot water in the bathroom was HOT , so clean up before eating..you good. The noise level was medium not too noisy. Fair: I got small oxtail meal..rice and peas cabbage and 2 plantain slices. Smelled good..looked good. Got my food to go. I asked for medium sauce.. (no extra cost) but look like I barely got any sauce. I had to move the oxtails to get the little juice to put on my rice, ugh.If you wanted extra sauce there was a upcharge.(REALLY)The oxtails were tender but lacked flavor.The plantains were DRY. Only took one bite. The cabbage was tender but still had a little crunch..I liked that..but cabbage is my FAVE VEGGIE. Sorry to say I got no Island Vibe from this place. I was disappointed . You go try it and I will SYOY. read more

Island Vibes Caribbean Grill - Oxtail meal.. where is my medium sauce? Looks like I got none. - Caribbean Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

A long wait but the plantains and oxtails completely made up for it. Wasn't the biggest fan of the Mac and cheese.

The red beans and rice was good, and the gravy for the oxtails had a good season flavor but the oxtails were over cooked so it was disappointing. The service was friendly read more

Island Vibes Caribbean Grill - Jerk Pork Lunch - Caribbean Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Looking for much to waste some time before my flight and found this place on yelp. Walked in and ordered the Jerk Chicken white meat lunch special. The food was good. The portion was large for $12. The only thing I would've liked was more cabbage. The lunch portion only comes with a few pieces. The meat was well seasoned and flavorful with the right amount of spice. The rice and peas were not dry and cabbage was cooked to perfection (hence me wanting more). The service was fast and the cashier was friendly. It's a a little small space nothing too fancy but the food is good so that's all that matters. read more

Ordered a small plate brown stew chicken meal which included protein, rice, cabbage and plantains, plus got an order of veggie roti. The wait was probably about 15-20 minutes but the food came out fresh. The serving size for a small plate was pretty substantial surprisingly and food was all very good. read more

Island Vibes had great Caribbean food! Loved the oxtails and the Roti! Was even better next day reheated!

The food is mid. I would almost say not very good. Everything looked delicious until I tasted it. The rice tasted burnt. The cabbage tasted like they could have came out the can , and the proteins are just whatever flavor wise. The service was great and they're very nice. But the food was extremely disappointing read more

Not real Jerk sauce. It's bbq sauce. You can literally smell and taste the tomato base and Worcestershire sauce. HUGE disappointment. The service was quick and nice though. Won't be going back. read more

Island Vibes Caribbean Grill - BBQ sauce not Jerk - Caribbean Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Sorry I have to take back my past review of this establishment. I was there a few weeks ago and I ordered jerk chicken and rice and pease... the jerk tasted old and when I seen them pop it out of the microwave I knew that it was my last time visiting this restaurant. The rice and peas did not have any flavor and the oxtail sauce was bland as well. The only thing that did not change was the juice pineapple and ginger is still my favorite. read more

Wanted some jerk chicken but went to another place that wasn't open for lunch but I couldn't go far from my job and seen this spot several times but decided to try and the spot I use to go to near here can cancel Christmas This lunch special we special . The rice taste like real rice and peas and they don't short you on the coconut flavor in the rice . Chicken was a little better than mid but the jerk sauce made it really good . They have other options but the service very West Indian but with a smile from the cashier lady from the looks outside it looks like a old car shop , but limited parking but good to grab and go or dine in . Your lunch also comes with a can soda which is undefeated because most spots will not do it and that's what you call a lunch . A fresh spot to me and I know I found me another gem . Big Up yourself island vibes caribbean grill read more

I went yesterday 10/1/25 and wanted some good oxtails, rice & beans and cabbage. The service was good l, quick and food looked delicious. When I got home and ate it, it was so disappointing. Where was the Caribbean spices and flavor? It was fresh and cooked well, but had little to no flavor. I had some Jamaican dry seasonings I had from earlier this year, so I had to still get in the kitchen and cook to make a gravy to help this bland food out. I live on the other side of town so I wasted my gas. You fool me once and it's a wrap for me. No thank you. read more

Great service, friendly workers. This place was packed so I knew the food was going to be great. The workers were nice so I was a bit nervous (IYKYK) but the food was amazing, I always get lunch specials at places I've never been before just to try the food out. But I'm wishing I would've gotten a bigger plate because this was amazing! read more

Island Vibes Caribbean Grill - Jerk Chicken Lunch Special - Caribbean Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Service was horrible. We was a party of 4. I placed my order first and then everyone else placed there's and then I asked what we get she said in a very mean way you didn't order So I placed again. Ticket was $92.00 dollars We had two of the same order but one had extra gravy. I asked the lady could she right on the box so we can know the difference since they was similar. She bag the food and said here Then, when I got to the Airbnb and was eating there was plastic in the bottom of the gravy. Far as the food...... I have had better but I will give it a 2. As much as I spent everything was a totally turn off. We had two plates of jerk chicken and 2 of oxtails. Everybody shouldn't work in customer service nor own a business. Rude and mean people and she act like I owed her. read more

Omgee! I love this place. I work nearby and I kid you not, I eat here everyday. I eat here like twice a week (on a diet now lol) The food is ALWAYS hot! Like fresh off the skillet hot! I've never had a cold or warm meal from them. They have lunch specials everyday until like 2pm and they give you a great portion amount for the price. The food is absolutely delicious. I highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area. I've literally tried mostly everything on the menu (jerk chicken, curry chicken, curry goat, oxtails, etc) and all have been really good and most importantly, always hot and fresh! I'm currently in my car for lunch enjoying the brown chicken stew that I purchased for lunch. read more

The food was decent, but the service was really disappointing. The person at the register was super rude and acted like they didn't want to be there. Definitely felt like they didn't care about the customers at all. I probably won't be back. read more

The food 1 out of 5 I rate it a 5. the service was good The restaurant needs to have more seating for the customers The only thing I see is the waiting area needs to be looked at. read more

terrible service and always running out of patties 4-6 hours begore closing time! parking is terrible, overall their food is mid.

I absolutely love this place. The food is DELICIOUS and the service is EXCELLENT! I've eaten the curry chicken, curry goat, oxtail, brown stew chicken, jerk pork, callaloo with food, red peas soup, cow foot soup, rice and peas, fried plantains and cabbage. . Thanks to them I can say I tried roti and I am hooked. Their food is fresh and some items are made to order. So make sure you allow the extra time that is required. You can't rush perfection. I should also mention that they have a variety of patties, but my favorite is the beef patty. If you are familiar with authentic Jamaican food. You have to try this restaurant. read more

Island Vibes Caribbean Grill - Curry chicken roti - Caribbean Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Yes, just yes. I am always on the hunt for better lunch options in this area when I forget (or simply don't feel like) bringing lunch to work. I've passed by this location several times while on the other side of the railroad tracks and finally I decided to stop in. So so so good. I was expecting Golden crust-esque food but no, this is way better imo. I've since been multiple times since my first visit a few weeks ago. I have had the curry chicken and jerk chicken lunch specials and although both are good I am HOOKED on the jerk chicken lunch special with the curry gravy on the rice. I've also tried the curry chicken patty and it was fantastic. Def recommended especially for lunch time because their lunch special is such a good amount and very filling. I'll be going back to try the Roti soon! read more

I love this spot! When it comes to Caribbean food, I don't need a menu.. it's always going to be oxtails. I dropped by during my lunch break, placed my order, found a seat and two minutes later, my food was ready. I must've timed it perfectly because a line quickly formed thereafter. As I opened up my to-go box, the smell of deliciousness hit my nose and got me excited! The vegetables, plantains, rice and oxtails.. everything was on point. I only wish I was at home, demolishing the goodness so I could use my hands to pick up and suck the oxtail bones clean. Will I be back? You damn skippy I will be! read more

Everything is great here jerk wings sell out pretty quickly not enough parking small place for eat in but we'll worth it...

Reading the reviews, everybody was talking about the jerk chicken. I'm usually a curry chicken dude, but I decided to follow the reviews to the jerk. I have to say THIS IS, HANDS DOWN, THE BEST JERK CHICKEN IVE HAD IN GA. This is. It was juicy and tender, with flavor through and through. THEY PUT THEIR FOOT IN DIS SHIT! Can't wait to try other stuff. read more

Island Vibes Caribbean Grill - Jerk Chicken, Cabbage, Plantains, and Kola - Caribbean Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Food is just OK. Everything is definitely prepared early in the day, so if you're getting dinner your rice will be extra dry and veggies not taste fresh. If the staff would acknowledge their customers and showed the smallest amount of kindness I would recommend or even return. read more

Oxtail was really good. I didn't care for my sides though. The pineapple ginger that's made in house is also really good.

Nice and friendly and warm. Food was good . They have fasting service. Family runs the restaurant. Fresh to order. They even make there on drinks that they bottle. read more

One of my absolute favorite Jamaican spots! This place is close to my office, so I'm a frequent visitor. I always come during lunch and get the jerk chicken special which comes with cabbage, rice and peas, plantains, and a canned soda, but I ask for double rice and peas with heavy oxtail gravy. In addition to this, I get a curry chicken patty. Island Vibes has a plethora of patties...jerk chicken, curry chicken, beef, crab, callaloo, and more. The food is some of the best Jamaican I've had and many of my coworkers agree. Definitely a must try if you're in the Hapeville area. read more

Good food, fast service, but the front desk cashiers are stiff, unfriendly and could use training on smiling

I ordered the goat roti and it was okay. It just didn't have much flavor and it was more bone and fat than meat. Unfortunately I didn't enjoy my food today, so I'm not sure I'll come back. The good part about this was that the pepper sauce was really good and very spicy which I did like a lot, but the food was just alright. I've had Roti before many times and I've always enjoyed it, this time just wasn't enjoyable. read more

The oxtail was excellent paired with yellow rice. I don't typically like plantains or cabbage, but these were so good! Food was hot, fresh, and lots of flavor and portion sizes were pretty large, even for a small order. Served within 5 minutes or ordering. Restrooms were clean. Only reason I gave it 4/5 is because the beef pattie tasted like dog food. Definitely will come back! read more

I called to place a phone order at 7:35... she said they close at 8, don't take phone orders this late and the doors close at 7:50. I said ok I'm 12 mins away, I pull up at 7:47 they see me pull up and lock the doors and then tell me they are closed. I said but I just spoke to you and you told me 7:50 and it's 7:48. She shrugs and walks off. Keep in mind the door says they are open til 9pm. I swear we try to suppose to black businesses and this is what you get in return. I'm sitting in the parking lot writing the review At 7:50... the time she told me they would lock the doors. Piss poor read more

If you are near the airport and have an extra 30 minutes to have a hearty stick to your bones kinda meal this is your place! My family and I stop here whenever possible! Everything is fantastic! Our go to meals are the curry or jerk chicken with rice and peas. You must get a beef patty with coco bread as well! My husband normally has champagne cola and I have a Ting a grapefruit soda! Portions are large so most times you will be able to take home leftovers. Don't plan on wearing white when you visit because you will be gnawing down on those bones getting the last bit of meal and juices. read more

The oxtails and rice and peas are really good although I feel they could add more seasoning to the vegetables that come with but super good

Food was amazingggg best jerk chicken I've had in Atlanta yet!!! Don't expect good customer service when you go lol but that food, very authentic and soo so good! read more

Brown Stew Chicken Lunch.... That is what I ordered. This is what I got. I am Jamaican and have never seen brown stew chicken look like this. No flavor, not seasoning, just "chicken" that looks like liver and some nasty rice and peas with an under fried plantain. Do not waste your time because this is not it. read more

Some of the best Jamaican food I've had! Jerk chicken is moist, smoked and tasty. They have some good rice and peas especially with the oxtail gravy. Their curry chicken is very flavorful and I like the carrots and potatoes in it. Worth the money, will definitely keep going. The only thing is not a lot of parking due to size of parking lot but worth trying to figure it out. read more
