  • Chef Marco

Ordered uber eats, chicken and pork jerk plate. Only got charred chicken wings. Did not taste like jerk! No pork. Ordered cabbage, did not get it, frozen soggy veg instead. Ordered and paid for mac and cheese, never got it. Rice tasted like rice a roni out of the box and beans very bland. Just not good food or details…. Stay away! More

Use to go here all the time & never have I ever was told you must spend more than $5 for a card purchase. Tuesdays are $1 empanada days... I ordered a crab empanada and beef stuffed potato and a separate order for my little pregnant sister & was charged and given a deviled crab over cooked. I am not interested in going back

  • Andrea Cooper

As always, I love Island Crew! I have been quite a number of times with family and friends since my son brought me first. The food and customer service never disappoints. Everything was cooked perfectly. Very happy as always. I will keep coming back. Pappy and Junior, you have an awesome establishment. We appreciate you. More

Food is top notch! Their customer service is great... From the regular staff. New employees with a hothead and attitude will ruin your business. Don't feel obligated to keep them employed. Let them go and give any other NICE person a shot. Heck they make kiosks just for things like this.

  • Gary Fusani

I ordered the oxtail with creole rice and plantains, my wife got curried chicken with creole rice and potatoes. We also tried sides of mac&cheese and banana pudding. Everything was delicious and generously portioned. Would definitely recommend and will order again in the future.

  • Key FINE_WINE

Bad customer service when I was told my meal come with two side I got one when calling an asking I was told rice was a side when an I actually ordered two plates an the other came with two sides including rice also why would you put a bone on some plate that payed for meat More

  • Kara Broker

Best food EVER! THIS is REAL authentic Caribbean cuisine. The owner of this restaurant had a dream. He worked hard for so many years to make this dream come true. He wasn't going to come sideways. Come eat here!! He has conch! So good. Best authentic food around! More

  • Pure Glamour and Bodycare

This place is amazing,these people are hard working & kind. I highly recommend Island Crew! I’m heading there now for chicken soup! Thank you all for great service & I pray God continues to bless your family business! It’s the turkey wings on Sundays for me...

  • Sandra Shepard

It's gone downhill. Sad I used to go frequently. The counter person acted as if she didn't care. Watered down cabbage with no flavor. When Jerk chicken is made properly its dry. Mine was swimming in grease. So disappointing. Won't be back. More

  • Karen Lime

Had a coworker recommend this place. The food is well cooked and fresh. Everyone had oxtail but I wanted something light so I ordered the eggplant and it was very crispy and light. The red sauce went well! Very nice lunch and affordable too!

  • Shawn’Quavia Lowman

If I can give a negative review I would! This place needs to be shut down immediately! I ordered for my lunch had to blow the phone up more than 2 times just for an answer, the young lady got my order all wrong! Once i got there the service

  • Larryza Askew

I’m highly disappointed I’ve eaten here about 4 other times and I was ok. I ordered curry shrimp and grits the morning, super excited cause it’s my favorite breakfast. I got it home and took y first bite of shrimp and a little bit of grits.

  • Melissa Jordan

I’m giving less than 5 stars bc they ALWAYS forget to send an item. This time it was the banana pudding which was the entire reason for my order. Then, they did not send salad dressing AGAIN after I specifically notated which kind to send,

  • Jay Ball

Found Island Crew on a website of Black owned businesses in Tampa and decided to check it out. During my visit I got to meet the owner, Chef Pappy who is from Haiti. Before Covid-19, he used money from his restaurant, as well as donations,

  • russ nolastname

Sometimes l just need a good deviled crab and they are loaded up with crab here and fried perfectly. The item itself is not spicy but they supply hot sauce and thousand island dressing. I also had the fried Conch and collards they put some

  • April Cumberbatch

It was our first time visiting. I was searching for a place with a conch salad, and this popped up saw the reviews and decided to give it a try. We ordered the conch salad, conch fritters, devil crab, and blue raspberry ice. Everything was

  • Niyogi Linzie

Yo this place is on super hit. I am Uber eats... Found this place because of uber.. Yo it was the smell of the food that made me place an order after the delivery. I told them it better be good over the phone. I ordered Jerk wings, yellow

  • Bo Brown

I took my cousin to this restaurant because theyhave been good in the past but idk what happened today. I never had the jerk pasta and my cousin ordered the jerk pasta and it was disgusting. I feel so bad offering that place to her and it

  • Brian Alleyne

THIS IS NOT IT!!!Anyone giving this so called Caribbean Establishment anything but 1 star has either never had good caribbean food, or is was paid to leave a positive review. I really wanted to like this place since I am from the islands

  • Lorene Alexander

Highly disappointed. Food was disgusting. As soon as I opened the container I instantly smelled the burnt black beans and it lit up the office I work at. Called back to as for refund only to be told that they knew the beans was burnt but

  • Genesis Lee

Stopped by here because I was close and wanted some Jamaican food. And I’m glad I did. The menu is impressive, I ordered curried chicken, rice and peas and plantains. It was good. I can’t say it’s the best I’ve had but it was certainly

  • Elizabeth Jiminez

  • Stacy Malara

Was really craving oxtails and decided to give this place a try, as my usual place was closed. Spent $25 for heavily seasoned oxtails (with hard rice) and $10 for salty chicken soup. An expensive disappointment is what I got. More

  • The King

I know the picture doesn't do it justice, but I was driving with the food shaking around everywhere. But I had the Brown Stew chicken, and it was really good. Rice was bustin. The cabbage was good too. I would definitely go again.

  • Kahleel Maxwell

I had the brown stew chicken ! I don't know how all the other food taste but I do not recommend the brown stewed chicken I took three bites and it immediately hurt my stomach and had me on the toilet for 2 hours.

  • Rara Perry

Food was terrible beans were brunt requested a refund was told no refunds in-spite not being posted anywhere in the restaurant or website staff was rude highly disappointed will never return shut this place now More

  • Stephen Williams

Ordered off of UberEATS, but if this is what their food is like, I wouldn't even bother dining in, because this was just disrespectful. I ordered jerk chicken and jerk pork, pictured below. The chicken was baked,

  • Ladyfly Fly

I love this place, the food is so good. I been to alot of restaurants and lately I've been very disappointed but not today..... thank you island crew for your great food and awesome staff.

  • Shalda Etienne

First time ordering from this place and I thought it was nice. The staff was polite, it didn't take long to receive my food and it's tasty. I would recommend other people to this place as well.

  • Vee Lee

Picking around to see what I find that’s bearable.. Goat completely undercooked. Cabbage overcooked. Rice, well idk what type of rice it is but not the Jamaican style rice I was expecting..

  • Jackson Davis

Fantastic portions of fresh food, of great quality, at a fair and very reasonable price. Don’t sleep on their Cuban food options, including a Veggie Cuban and an impressive Deviled Crab!

  • Jeishkalee Vazquez

Food delicious but I ordered CRISPY fried chicken and they ran out of batter and instead of telling me before handing me my order they made it regular and then handed it to me. More

  • KooKoo4 CoKo

It has tons of flavor big chunks of conch I go here all the time to get this dish.I love the fresh taste of lime and heat and a hint if sweet. It is the best in my opinion.

  • Mack McK

I should of read some of the reviews before I drove 35 minutes to get here. I no longer live in Miami, so anything I am near a place that sells conch I MUST give it a try.

  • Andrew H.

Anytime I come to Florida I always looks for a place in the area that has conch. I was excited to see that Island Crew Restaurant had both conch salad and conch fritters!
