10 Reviews on “Island Krave”

  I really enjoyed my dinner and catching up with my supper group of dining friends. Not only was it my first visit to Island Krave but was my first time meeting Jordan, Cindy, Lindsey & Emily.The restaurant seemed a little flabbergasted that our party had showed up, and judging by the size of the place I can sorta see why. However I got the distinct vibe they either didn’t know we were coming or were just unorganized that day.We started off with a plate of mixed apps and I tried the Coco Bread and Beef Empanada. I also tried out a smoked wing. The wings were huge BTW. For my entree I selected the Jerk Chicken & Dirty Rice. It also came with two sides and I chose collards and fries. Somewhere in there an ear of corn also showed up with a BBQ sauce on it. My meal was delicious and I washed it down with an of O’Connor Red Nun.Good time. Good company. This was an excellent dinner and I’m looking forward to returning soon.

  I read a lot of reviews about this place so I had to try it out. Walking up to the doors it looked to be a quiet place. It was very small on the inside, there was only one lady working the front and she greeted us with a smile. There was another older gentleman who sat at the bar and stared at us the entire time we were eating. I’m not sure if he was a part of the owning family or a regular customer. It was a little weird. A sample plate was brought out and immediately we fell in love with the Jerk, Stewed and Curry Chicken. So we ordered one of each. The jerk chicken was delicious but I would say it was more of a sweet BBQ sauce than it was a jerk sauce. I was a little disappointed with the curry chicken and the stewed chicken once it was brought out. It definitely tasted better on the sample plate than it did in our meal. The sides that accompanied our meals were all delicious. So to sum it all up. The food was pretty good, a little pricey for the small portions but still good. I would go back again if I was already in the area but I wouldn’t make a special trip for it.
