Island Fork - Jamaican/Caribbean Cuisine

Oxtail Rasta Pasta is

Really friendly staff and the food was delicious! Will definitely be coming back!

So I landed in Austin and I was extremely hungry. I stopped by this restaurant for a bite to eat. First, the order took more than 25 minutes to be made ready. Second, once I got the food, the rice didn't look appealing because it looked warmed in a microwave. Since I paid all that money for the Oxtails, I figured I should try and eat them....well, they were EXTREMELY SALTY! In fact, my entire dish was wayyyyy too salty. I couldn't eat it and I'm very disappointed with this.

Island Fork Jamaican restaurant is a spot worth waiting for. Although the wait time for your food might test your patience, the payoff is absolutely worth it. I recently placed a to-go order of jerk chicken, and let me tell you, it's easily one of the most delicious jerk chickens I've savored in the Austin area. The seasoning was spot on, striking the perfect balance between spices and heat. If you’re a fan of bold and flavorful dishes, Island Fork Jamaican restaurant is a must-visit.

Everything was delicious. We got curry chicken and goat, brown chicken, and oxtail. We definitely will be back.

Been looking for a good Jerk spot since moving from London. Spoilt for choice there with good Jamaican food. This place is decent, good quality meat and rice+pea. Lots of differences to what I’m used to, no option for gravy on chicken or sides, Coleslaw is steamed instead of cold. No homemade signature sauces, normally see a ferment hot sauce and home recipe jerk. Good portions. Definitely coming back.
