Discovered Island Spice after reading a list of black owned restaurants in Pittsburgh. Discovered…read morethis place, not too far from me that I never knew existed. It's in a small strip mall at the edge of Carnegie (almost in Heidelburg) where Family Video used to be and next to a Subway. The menu was appealing because I love Caribbean food, and I'm sick of our usually takeout places. Called ahead and ordered. While they have some seating, they were not currently doing dine-in (this review was written during Coronavirus time). When I entered the first thing I noticed was that the place was spotless, which I find to always be a great quality in a restaurant. The gentleman working (Donald) was polite and pleasant. He was just finishing up our order when I arrived. I was excited to see a variety of Carribean bottled beverages in the cooler. My 8 year old daughter was even happier when I brought her home two bottles of pineapple guava juice that is hard to find. The portions are huge! For the meals, you pick your meat, cooking style, a veggie and a starch. My husband ordered jerk pork, with Mac and cheese and coleslaw. I ordered jerk chicken with Mac and cheese and a tossed salad. I also ordered an extra side of plantains (not many places serve it around here), and then fish fingers for my kids (which are $6 and come with a healing portion of fries- not mentioned on the menu). As you can see from the photos, their servings of Mac and cheese fill both side dish areas of the take out container and even spill out a bit. It was creamy, and not a super duper cheesy taste. I thought it was a refreshing break from spice of the jerk chicken. The side of coleslaw was quite generous- no itty bitty cups here. The tossed salad was very fresh- no bagged mix here- with thin slices of a few other veggies mixed in. I liked my husband's pork a lot and will probably order it next time. It was significantly less spiced than my chicken (granted I'm not a big best-seeker, though I love jerk). The pork was very tender. My chicken was unfortunately a little overcooked and dry, but damn the flavor was good. The plantains were a delicious addition. My kids were very happy with their fish fingers and fries (and shared in our sides). My kids are 8 and 10 and eat a decent amount- we still have significant leftovers. All of this food for about $51. So glad that I found this place- will definitely return.

Ocasionally the fried chicken will be a smidge raw in the middle which I experienced once. The dessert of the day doesn't seem to change. The quality of the mac and cheese is inconsistent. Some days it tastes phenomenal, like the best mac and cheese you can commercially buy and others it tastes like it was made last month. Despite this I will be giving this location 3 stars simply for the price of the food and the quality on a good day you can get. The fried chicken is crisp and well seasonsed. The two flavors they have, buffalo and lemon pepper are both fantastic and I urge people going here to try them both. The oxtail is a unique experience but not somethign I would wake up and immedately try to eat. The sweet tea and grape drinks are sweet enough to hurt your teeth, so they're perfect. If you're looking for affordable fried chicken wings in the area I highly suggest checking this place out. The bread pudding dessert was fine, but nothing earth shatteringly awesome. It woudln't be what I came back here for. The grits are food coma inducing but the lamb feels unnecessary, the shrimp was much better. Suspiciously every time I've been here its dead empty so service isn't bad, just odd cause you're like the only person sitting there.

This review was posted on Next Level Catering's Facebook page (formerly Thyme After Time) in…read moreCharleston, WV. They have since deleted the review and blocked me. I'll add screenshots if required as well as the civil suit that we won (names blacked out of course). READ UNTIL THE END. We hired Anthony and his catering service for our wedding last year. At the tasting, the service, people, and food were great. My wife and I were in agreement immediately. They were quick to respond and reassuring leading up to the wedding date. However, the day of the wedding they were supposed to arrive at 2pm with 150 people's worth of food. They, unfortunately didn't arrive until around 6pm, where they brought about 80 people's worth of food and less than that of drinks. The lemonade was watered down and the coffeemaker they brought was broken. The food was dried out and cold when it was being served. My wife called them DIRECTLY AFTER OUR CEREMONY (yes, the woman that was just married. No one tried reaching out to us) to see what happened. The woman on the phone gave two different excuses on two different occasions: 1) they got lost 2) they had to run back to Charleston. The staff at the wedding were nice enough and the lead caterer there was very apologetic, stating that they would get in touch with us to get us squared away. That never happened. My wife and her stepmother reached out to the company multiple times and got the runaround. They then stopped responding completely. I have reached out to Anthony Wilkins directly but he blocked me. I don't recommend this place not because of the food but because of the unprofessional owner. If he would have owned up to his and his company's mistakes, it would have lessened the stress and hardship on my wife, guests, and memory of an otherwise beautiful day. If you do go through this place, get EVERYTHING in writing and copies.

Definriely a very nice Caribbean restaurant. I thought the prices were very reasonable, the…read moreportions were great, and the flavors were pretty much on point. I tried several items, including the brown stew chicken, rice and peas, cabbage, and the beef patties. The brown stew chicken was delicious. I got it in the large size and it was indeed quite large. The chicken is seasoned well but not too spicy. It's tender, and although I tend not to like dark meat, I really enjoyed it from this place. They served it with potatoes, which were nicely cooked, and carrots, which went really well with the sauce. You get 2 sides with your meal so I choose the rice with peas and the cabbage. The cabbage was very flavorful and just tasted homey. Several other vegetables mixed in too. They gave me a ton of rice and peas, which is great because I thought it was delicious. Soft rice, especially with the chicken, just mixed perfectly. Delicious, delicious, delicious. The beef patties were also very tasty. The inside is in a way almost creamy. It's filled with juicy meat, and the outside stayed nice and crisp. Very nice. All in all, definitely a great place. One of the better Caribbean spots in Pittsburgh for sure. I'd order delivery from them again (I think they are delivery only).

Fast forward a year or so and much to my joy they announced via social media that they had stopped cooking out of their home and started a food truck! One day I saw that they would be on Larimer Avenue in the Larimer section of the city so I made my way there expeditiously as T.I. would say. LOL! I already knew that I was going to go with their Curry shrimp with cabbage and rice & peas! I also got a Tropical Rhythms Island Mango drink to wash it all down. A few minutes later I had my food and made my way home. You guessed it, expeditiously! LOL! As soon as I started to dig in I was taken back as I hadn't had Jamaican food this good since Mama Rose on nearby Mayflower Street in the late 90's! The shrimp was perfectly cooked and full of flavor! The cabbage was tender and the rice and peas were delicious as well! My food was so good that I told my wife about it and ended up going back the same day to get us their Jerk chicken for dinner. Unfortunately it was near the end of the night and they had ran out of cabbage, but gave us extra chicken which more than made up for not having anymore cabbage. The jerk chicken was absolutely incredible! Very authentic and just as delicious! Be sure to follow them on Instagram @caribbeanvybzllc to see where they will be next! I still can't believe that authentic Jamaican food like this can come out of a food truck!

Tonight I got a plate of the brown stew chicken. Started with the rice and beans - those had good flavor and seasoning. The chicken was juicy and well-infused with the gravy sauce. Little bit of spice, little bit of sweet, just very amazing. Portion was plentiful. The gentleman operating the food truck was down to earth and friendly. I lived what I got and would be thrilled to get over to their other locations sometime, but in the meantime, happy if they can bring the truck my way again!
