Incredibly great food nestled away here in Poughkeepsie. I've had Jamaican food all over here and…read morenone of these spots can compete with Empire Fusion. If you are craving authentic great Jamaican food, you won't regret coming here. The restaurant is spotless, the owner is very nice, and her food is out of this world. I got the Oxtails, peas and rice, sweet plantain, and steamed veggies. My Wife had the Jerk Chicken. Everything tasted amazing!! I will definitely be back as I'm dying to try her Mac and Cheese again (it was sold out). 5 Star

Just spent an hour getting to know the owner, Michelle, who is a warm, beautiful woman and chef!…read moreShe's from Kingston, Jamaica and takes so much pride in her cooking. Empire stands out among all the Jamaican restaurants in the area for its fresh, home cooked meals. We stopped by for some beef patties and ended up getting a half dozen plus two spinach patties when we found out that they're homemade and not frozen. They are outstanding! Michelle was open on New Year's Eve, and we might come back for dinner because everything was so good! UPDATE: We returned on New Year's Day because we were craving more Jamaican food!! We ordered the jerk chicken, oxtail, and vegan curry chickpeas. The flavors were mouthwatering and we couldn't believe how tasty the curry chickpeas dish was. Please do yourself a favor and stop by. You absolutely won't regret it!

I never had an issue with customer service or their food, they are very welcoming. They are very…read morenice and helpful which is a blessing bc majority of Jamaican restaurants are extremely rude. Their prices are great and their portions. I been going here for over a year. The reason I gave 4 stars is because it says it closes at 830 and sometimes 930 however if I go anywhere from 5p- 7p, most of the food is gone and they're not making more.

A few weeks ago I ordered fried chicken and it was straight up RAW. I could still taste the rawness…read moreand I could tell they did not or do not clean the chicken PROPERLY before seasoning and frying. I decided after that to give them a break. I went back last night to purchase food for the 1st time in a few weeks. I bought cow foot, and man, this time, the food again the meat I should say was straight up RAW.. NOT COOKED PROPERLY.. NEEDLESS TO SAY IT GOT ME SICK!! NEVER AGAIN. TIME TO GIVE ISLAND HOUSE A WALK!!! 2nd strick in my book. No good Jamaican restaurants around, these people swear they can cook.. thumbs down!

The yams were overly sweet and burnt. I never seen burnt yams. The fried fish will give you high blood pressure! That thing was soooo saltyy, I couldn't eat it. Even my kid complained. I'm thinking maybe I'll give it a try again because it was like the 1st week it opened but I'm not in no rush. Their customer service is exceptional! The restaurant is nice and clean. Good vibes and good music. Oh, and I did wait about 20 mins for my food, totally understandable if I want fresh food and plus there were others before me.

I'm surprised at myself for this review, since I'm usually a steam tray skeptic. However, their…read morecurry chicken was so good that now I have to reconsider that principle. If anything, the steam tray might have made it more tender and flavorful, and it wasn't at all worse for wear! But maybe the real highlight is the vegetable mix that comes with the rice, with still-crunchy celery. Plantains were tasty and soft, though not crunchy.
