I have eaten at Da Ragge, La Palma, and Calypso Mama in Greensboro, Dixon's Jamaican in Burlington, and a few others. In this area, I've tried Outta D Kitchen, Ah Fiwi, & Taste Jamaica in WS. I finally got around to trying this spot a few times, which has been around for a while, the oldest Yelp review was over 16 years ago. They have received just over 2.5 reviews a year, but somehow are still here. I ordered the Oxtail, a favorite - called in the order, based on Yelp reviews this seemed the way to go. On another occasion I tried the Curry Goat. The Oxtail and Curry Goat were very good, tender and flavorful, and the serving size was reasonable. On one visit the cabbage was well seasoned, but rather bland on the other. The rice and peas were just ok, and the plantains lacked softness and sweetness. I almost certainly come again - I want to try the Jerk Chicken, Curry Chicken, the Pepper Steak, and for sure the Turkey Necks.

The chicken was not fresh and lacked that authentic grill flavor. The rice was old and hard, rice and peas should be fluffy!! I'm from New York and grew up in Caribbean section of the Bronx, I know Jamaican food and what it should taste like. I ate one piece of the chicken, three spoonful of rice, one plantain . I was so disappointed I threw the rest away. 20 dollars down the drain. Service was ok although it took a while to make my order, I knew they were reheating the food which is a red flag. Ambiance was nice

I'm thrilled to confess that Island Vibez not only didn't disappoint, it actually surpassed my expectations. This tiny corner restaurant is more designed for take-out orders only, however do they offer an outdoors patio seating option for their customers! Unlike several Jamaican spots where attitude awaits you before you even order, this particular cashier (short male with dreadlocks) was not only patient with my friend and I as we went over their menu but kind enough to warn us beforehand that each meal is made fresh-to-order so it takes about 20 minutes before you're indulging. From traditional Caribbean cuisine like Jerk & Curry Chicken, Goat and (my absolute favorite) Oxtails to "islander local favorites" such as Ackee Sawfish, Beef/Chicken patties, hot & cold veggie dishes and Callaloo, you will NOT be letdown by the menu variety and sweet service that awaits you inside of Island Vibez, a true Winston-Salem hidden gem!

I ordered through Doordash today since I am rarely on that side of town and my food was still warm when it arrived. I have been craving a beef patty and I had heard that they have the best mac n cheese in Winston Salem. I have been hesitant to order because a side of mac n cheese is very pricey. To my shock it was actually enough for 2 servings and worth the price tag. I have to admit it is definitely the best mac n cheese I have ever purchased, even over the well known soul food spots. The mac and cheese was very creamy and yet still had your favorite crispy edges. It was not overpowered with sour cream like so many places locally. The beef patty was nice and spicy and the crust was very flaky. It could stand to have a bit more filling though. I look forward to getting the jerk chicken again and eventually trying their oxtails. I definitely recommend giving them a try.

I do think that this event at Wise Man Brewery was my first time ordering from them. I sampled both the Jerk Chicken with Black Beans/Rice, and the Haitian Fried Pork with Plantains! The jerk was really good with a fair amount of meat, and a heaping amount of black beans and rice! The chicken is extremely well seasoned, and true to their roots, very spicy! The fried pork chunks was my absolute favorite dish as the chunks were not overly fatty, tender inside, and quite flavorful! The accompanying plantains were large in portion size and right on the mark! The one downside to ordering from them is the extensive menu that they offer which ultimately slows them way down! I waited nearly 20 minutes for my food, and while they may say that you're getting a fresher experience, I say that's way too long for a food truck experience! While very good, I probably wouldn't reorder from them unless like this time, they were the only option!!

However, the fries and chicken was unseasoned. Ketchup made the fries taste better. I had to eat the chicken how it was, lol. Overall, it was a good deal. My kids enjoyed their empanadas.

I was especially interested in the Toasted Cuban Bread, the Authentic Cuban Sandwich, and the Pan Con Bistec, and tried them all over several visits, along with Chicharrones, Ceviche, plantains, Fried Chicken Sandwich, Ropa Vieja, Street Corn, and more. My experiences here were definitely a mixed bag with both the food and the service. On one visit the service would be fine, and on the next it would be awful. Time for food to arrive on the table varied greatly, even when the restaurant was not especially busy. The Cuban Sandwich is decent but it doesn't scream "South Florida". I was more impressed with the Pan Con Bistec, a better choice in my opinion, as is the Fried Chicken Sandwich especially with a side of sweet plantains or yucca fries. The Toasted Cuban Bread, the Street Corn, and the Ceviche were also pretty good choices, as are the Chicharroes. I did not care for the Ropa Vieja at all, nor the Cuban Deluxe Sandwich, too much going on, croquettes adversely effected both the taste and the texture if the Cuban! I was sorry to hear that the restaurant will close permanently on Aug 24th. The owners site a drop in business due to the downtown parking situation (which likely will only get worse with the coming changes), safety concerns by potential customers, as well as rising costs in almost all areas of operation. Winston will lose yet another solid, sit down restaurant, most likely to be replaced by another fast, casual spot with a trendy, funky menu.

The sauce/dip that comes with the yucca fries was bomb - some kind of aioli. The cocktail drinks were okay - a bit small and watered down but the food was awesome! Would come again.
