Visiting my husband at work in Clarksville, TN, been craving oxtails for some time now, so imagine the excitement when I stumbled upon this place. I was excited to taste the food and support a small business. Unfortunately, the food was subpar. Some of the oxtails were cooked just right - falling off the bones, whereas others were tough. And if they weren't tough, it was fatty. cabbage was under seasoned, plantains were just meh. Rice was the best dish ordered. Food did stay warm through delivery time. Delivery time using DoorDash was prompt and entire order was correct. read more

T & D Island Spices - Oxtail Plate - Caribbean Near Me - Oak Grove, Kentucky

4.6 stars rounds off to 5 stars. Quantity- 5 STARS . They were very generous! Lots of meat and sauce! Service was strange yet friendly. I didn't know who was taking my order at first. The lady who did was nice. 4 stars 4.5 Stars - Food: Just a tad too savory. The oxtail was still delicious. I actually liked the plantains. I usually hate plantains. When you eat it with the oxtail and rice, the flavors of each item balanced each other out. I just needed a hint of more spice & heat. The cabbage was bland ehhhh.... But the quantity overrules the taste factors. Rice and beans were good. I still don't like beans. I will definitely come back to try the mutton. :) read more

I am a big fan of Mr. Bills reviews for the local places here on Yelp so when I saw how much he enjoyed T&D, I told hubby we needed to try it. Hubby got the jerk chicken, I selected the Brown stew chicken. The servings are very big. We only got the medium size but both of us had leftovers for the next day - and we can eat. I'm embarrassed to admit I stole his plantains that came with his order. I loved LOVED them. I would def. encourage y'all to add a small order of them because they were so delicious. His jerk chicken was really flavorful. Sides - that cabbage is so yummy - were overflowing. I didn't really care for my meal or the drinks. I think it was mostly my fault however, because I am not familiar with the dish and there are certain spices I am not a fan of. I believe there were a couple of those in the brown stew. Same with the drinks. Hubby enjoyed it tho. All in all, a filling and flavorful meal. I dreamed about the plantains late read more

The employees are the friendliest and the most accommodating. Fried chicken is a new item on the menu and is not served everyday but these amazing ladies made it for me. The food was delicious. Don't get me started on the plantains.....yummy! read more

So I've been stuck is BFE, Illinois since October recovering from breaking several bones in my foot and the ONE thing I miss about not being home is the various cultures and cuisines I've come to love, Jamaican being #1. I was in the Clarksville/Hopkinsville area and the craving hit me hard, so I relied on my Yelpers to help me find a good spot! I was a little worried because the last review was 9months ago, so let me help you by telling you this spot is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. We would have dined-in, but Covid, so my boyfriend and I both ordered the Large Jerk Chicken. I ordered my hot sauce on the side and he wanted his on top of the chicken. His mistake because hot is extremely hot. I laughed at his tears and grasps for water. I probably shouldn't have, but it's too late for that now. There was beyond enough chicken on one plate for the two of us, in addition to rice and peas, cabbage, but not plantain because I don't share those. With oxtail gravy dumped on the rice, I couldn't stop eating! I can't wait to get back to the area and try the oxtails next! Stop in--early if you want oxtails, and I promise you won't be disappointed! read more

I love the food, spices, and the owner is so polite and knows exactly what she's doing with the food. My favorite is the Jerk chicken with spicy sauce. The rice and beans are amazing. The restaurant is always so clean on State Line Rd. The aromas will definitely give you an Island feel that's so amazing!!! They do not disappoint. read more

First time ordering here and it certainly will not be the last. The Trenton Road location is right there on my way home, so you can bet I'll be stoppin' by for some more. We decided to give this spot a shot during the COVID-19 Pandemic and it was a delivery. The food was delivered by GrubHub pretty quickly too, so thanks for using that service! We ordered the Jerk Chicken and the Curry Chicken...we also asked for some mild beef patties, but they were out. This was good food, I don't really know how else to describe it. We've had food in Jamaica, in the mountains, cooked at some lady's house and served at a roadside rest-stop...and this was just like that. Rustic, delicious, super flavorful. I'm a fan of the heat and the Jerk Chicken gave me all that I can handle and then some. Super tasty, I wish I could say more. Simply good food does not need a huge elaborate write up. If you're lookin' for something new to try, give 'em a shot!! read more

T & D Island Spices - Jerk Chicken/Curry Chicken and some tasty side dishes...and that plantain! - Caribbean Near Me - Oak Grove, Kentucky

The Jerk chicken here is very good and spicy just as it is supposed to be. They do add a sweet sauce on top although it is optional I would highly recommend getting it. They also serve you a lot of rice and peas with cabbage and plantains on the side. This is the place from Clarksville to Nashville to get Jerk chicken! I have been to the Jamaican restaurant in Nashville and it doesn't compare at all. So if you are in Nashville make the drive to Clarksville and you will not be disappointed.. read more

T & D Island Spices - Jerk Chicken Lunch Special - Caribbean Near Me - Oak Grove, Kentucky

Pricey but still quite good. Great for lunch or dinner. But it took a little while longer than I liked for the food to be made. Must be a price to pay for good food read more

Love the lunch special!!!!! Very yummy, the sweet jerky is amazing I have also gotten the large portion, comes with lots of rice and chicken - so that's a + ! Service is fast and cooked right outside on the grill 9/10! read more

This was a unique and interesting experience - today was my first time there. The cashier and I just didn't click which I'm okay with - I think there was just miscommunication. With that said,...moving on to the food. I ordered curry goat and they had just ran out, and I have no problem when that happens; I just figure that must be a popular dish. Also, I guess I'm just used to Jamaican food tasting a certain way and not tasting... that way. Moving on, I then ordered the oxtails and some pieces were more "fall off the bone" than others (minus 1 star) - I'm used to all of the pieces being "fall off the bone." The rice was different-tasting and the meal came with a lot of grease (minus 1 star). I'm used to oxtails being a bit greasy, but this seemed a lot greasy. Lastly, it seemed as though ALL of the flies in the Fort Campbell / Oak Grove area came there to hang out (minus 1 star) and enjoy the loud music - imo music in restaurants should play the background, not center stage. I think T & D stands for "Too many Damn flies in the restaurant." Very clean looking and bright, freshly painted walls with no decorations (no paintings, posters, etc. celebrating West Indian culture). Unique and interesting experience. read more

Food And Service Is Absolutely AMAZING !!! Been Coming Here For 5-6 Years And I've Loved It Every Time !!

I just moved here from Texas and wanted to try the local Jamaican spot. The building left much to be desired but the inside was clean and tidy. The staff for the most part was pleasant. I ordered the jerk curry chicken meal and it tasted quite bland and needed more seasoning. I had authentic Jamaican food before both in the states and overseas. This might be the worst tasting food I've had. I would recommend more passion in the food by the cooks and for people to go elsewhere. I wouldn't eat here again or recommend this place to friends. I felt sick later that night and feel it was from this place. read more

This is the best food and nicest people. You can drive by all day every day and smell the fresh cooking jerk chicken. Place is clean and good is fresh everyday. My #1 spot. read more

There food was great but the customer service is horrible, I jus waited 45 min and was skipped numerous times during lunch

Flavor and quality is always on point when I order from here. Must try the ox tails with the pineapple drink!

I just knew I was going to like this place. So I was surprised when I didn't taste that Jamaican island taste. I order my favorite meat... Oxtails and it didn't taste authentic. I felt let down. I ordered beef patty with cocoa bread and I wondered why the patti wasn't in the bread well it wasn't slit open. I was surprised. I should have just went to the one I always went to... I know better next time. I didn't even eat it read more

T & D Island Spices - Tasted Americanized. It didn't have the flavor I was holding my breath for. Next time I will go to where I know it's authentic - Caribbean Near Me - Oak Grove, Kentucky

How am I just now discovering this place?! Fresh, authentic food. I had the jerk chicken with rice, veggies, and plantains. Delicious! There was a line and a wait but well worth it. They have cheap lunch specials. I heard the curry chicken is also popular. Not a ton of seating-many people took theirs to go. Overall, a great meal. I will definitely be back! read more

T & D Island Spices - Jerk chicken with rice and veggies. Awesome! - Caribbean Near Me - Oak Grove, Kentucky

Had the lunch special of jerk chicken w/cabbage, 1x plantain, and rice ($8). Meat was tender and they added the spicy sauce onto it - still not spicy to what i am accustomed to but it works. They ask if you'd like sauce (gravy) over the rice and give their recommendations based on your choice. It was too much rice to me compared to the portion of meat and cabbage. I've also never been to a place that gives ONE plantain chunk. They offer an array of drinks (sodas, juice) and jerk seasoning sauce for your own kitchens. You can pay via credit card or cash, and they are relatively quick with filling orders. Seating is minimal, and be aware of the hours 1130AM to 1300 because fort Campbell soldiers fill up the spot quick. read more

Every time I come this way, I have to stop to get the jerk chicken spicy spicy with ox tail sauce! It's always so good and a lot for what you pay for. read more

You want some good quality food in great quantity, come here and get this food in your belly. Decent price for the amount of food you get. The menu does not have many option but that's why the food taste so great. Because there not trying to cook a million things st once. read more

My favorite place to eat Jamaican food in Oak Grove and Clarksville. I haven't had Oxtails this good in a very long time reminds me of home.

Super tasty food however I ordered off Postmates and menu was weird because it did not describe much. However everything I ordered came nicely packaged and tasted amazing. read more

My favorite place to get jerk chicken. I like the cabbage, her homemade sauce & the patties are great too!

Best Jerk Chicken I've had in Clarksville. A hidden gem. The building is plain and simple but the food is full of flavor. Lunch special served from 11-2:00 was Jerk Chicken or Curry Chicken. read more

Sweet Jerk Chicken with Rice, Veggies, and a Plantain. The jerk sauce was a fantastic blend of sweet spice and smoke flavor accenting fall-off-the-bone chicken. The veggies, rice, and beans were on point! Lunch special with drink was less than $10! Will be back again! read more

I eat there all the time. The food is flavorful and the people are very friendly. I especially love the oxtail and jerk chicken. I will definitely go back. read more

One of the best places in the Fort Campbell area. Simple, but delicious menu. Great staff and the owners are really welcoming. Just wish they had lunch specials on the weekend, too! We'd be there all the time. read more

They fucking trash... they don't never got no oxtails and u can only get what they have at the time... not what is on the menu

The best Jerk Chicken I ever tasted. I grew up in NYC where there are thousands of Carribean restaurants. T&D Island Spices and More has the best tasting Jerk Chicken. Super cool owners . Carribean products if I feel like cooking at home. They are definitely an asset to the community. read more

Delicious food but small space so I always get takeout. I love the curry chicken and the beef and curry chicken patties.
