an excellent place to eat. my wife and i recently camebackfrom a visit to st. maarten, where we ate much local island food. unfortunately, there are not many places like it here in the states. or so we thought. i stumbled upon island frydays, by accident, but when i smelled the familiar smells and saw the large grill out front (called lolo's in the caribbean) i was excited. as soon as the man on the grill gave me a sample of his chicken, i was sold. this place is incredible. they serve all sorts of wonderful items, but i was most excited for the jerk chicken, their fried plantains, and rice with gravy. i paired that with another island favorite, a jamaican ginger beer, and was in heaven. you can dine indoor or outdoor, and the friendly service, and great prices make this a must try in cincinnati.

found this on urbanspoon. i have been to jamaica and this broughtbackgreat memories. they do amazing food. the goat was a surprise i think it was better than what i had in jamaica. the beef patties are true to tradition and lovely. the staff is amazing let us try free samples. spoke with the owner trying to get him to open a second restaurant in bowling green kentucky. owner was super cool. i will be here again as soon as i can make my waybackup there. try the jerk chicken it is truly amazing! bravo guys 5 stars from me.

rude & incompetent. i called in on a wednesday night to order takeout. after four unsuccessful calls which resulted in screeching electronic noise, i was told to hold for a minute. 5 minutes later i continued to hear people talking but no one had returned to the phone.

when i attempted to callbacki received an "our normal hours of operations are" automated message. this was almost an hour before their wednesday closing time. (8 pm)

no worries. i just had island frydays for lunch, and it's a safe bet i'll be goingbacksoon to sample some other menu items. i got the jerk chicken sandwich($3) and a beef pattie($2). the sandwich was huge for the price, and the pattie was definitely worth it as well. the bread used on the sandwich was big and soft, and really quite good. there were 2 jerk chicken breasts, lettuce and tomato. i wish i hadn't been in such a hurry as i pretty much had to inhale it. one bit of advice: don't get the pattie if you are in a hurry, you will scorch your tastebuds when the magma contained in the pastry shoots out- hot!! i don't know where else to get these patties around town, it definitely reminded me of jamaica. where's my red stripe and cuban cigar?!

sorry, i don't get it.. lots of positive reviews for this place, and i can't for the life of me figure out why. the gold standard for caribbean food for me is a place called eats in atlanta. i can only say they aren't losing any sleep over places like this.
went in on a friday between 6 and 7. not only was nothing ready, there was a guy there who had been waiting for close to an hour. they don't take your order and give you a number or anything. they just tell you it's not ready and then you kind of hang around while other people who want something they do have get waited on. extremely loose and disorganized, like they never worked in a restaurant before.
finally got the food. i got a large jerk chicken plate and my wife got a small. get the small - there's virtually no difference for the extra money. there's the option of regular or yellow rice, which they don't tell you about when you order. and the option of gravy (or grease, rather) on the rice. oh, and white meat or dark meat although i asked for a mix and could not find any dark in there at all.
quality-wise, whoever said this is hot/spicy must have really sensitive taste buds. one to ten scale, i'd say 3. and that's generous. again, portions were miniscule, but could be due to the fact that it took so long that they were afraid of running out again. my wife's portion was pink inside, so for all that time it still wasn't cooked all the way through.
i'd also note that the way it's chopped up you would probably be well advised to take someone along who knows the heimlich maneuver since the chance of swallowing a bone is pretty high.
i can't say it's the worst meal i ever had. i've had some really bad ones. but i can't see any reason to ever gobackto this place. i mean, you could go to kroger and get an whole chicken for less than what they charge for this, and while it wouldn't be fantastic, the quality and value would still beat this by a long shot. i'd have rather gone to chipotle.
thumbs down, big time.

great hidden gem. the place is a little hole in the wall... the food was great, and the servers were sweet. very laid back. not many people in the restaurant, but there seemed to be a lot of take out patrons coming and going. sampled a few items on the menu, and i have no complaints about anything. i can't wait to getbackhere soon and try the rest of the menu! i suggest going with someone who is willing to try new foods so you can get a variety.
