Taste Of The Islands - St. Petersburg

It was early morning, the sign showed they were open. This is a restaurant on one side and a open store on the other. They were just putting food on warmers, I asked if the food was fresh. The elderly lady said yes but it was clear this was food from the day before. I order a jerk patty which was a bit spicy for me and a drink. She took the patty out the warmer I felt it and asked that it be warmed up. The patty was delicious, I wanted another one but I had already left the parking lot. I will go back at a later day to try their food.

Hubby and I wanted to eat some Jamaican food and found taste of the islands restaurant, it really enjoyed. they give them much as they can see on the photos.

If you are looking for authentic, delicious Caribbean food…specifically Jamaican, this is the spot! It’s really just set up for “to go” although there is minimal seating outside. Dishes come with rice n peas, dumplin and plantain. We got Jerk Chicken and Curried Chicken, both were excellent. They are building a Caribbean grocery store right next door. The staff is kind and the clientele is diverse.

So good!!!!! The curry chicken weekly special was awesome and fair price. The ladies at the front were amazing. Great customer service. Hot fresh food. Place was dirty but whatever , the food slapped!

Don't be in a hurry at this place.. remember you're on island time... And of course they're super busy because they're really good! If you can overlook that, you will be in for a delicious surprise. The wings were absolutely amazing they had just the right amount of jerk Caribbean flavors... Can't wait to go back and try the snapper and other dishes.
