What User likes about The Island Spot:
Delicious authentic Caribbean cuisine! I really enjoyed the oxtail and the beef patties. The restaurant transforms into a club in the late evening, which can get quite loud. View all feedback. What User doesn't like about The Island Spot:
The waitress was lovely, and the drinks were spot on, but the food didn't feel authentic to me. As a Jamaican, I found it too salty and it just wasn't to my liking. I think I’ll stick to the drinks next time. View all feedback.

I enjoy my two visits and plan to see every other Thursday again. I love poetry nights. fun, silly hostess, clean environment and great moods.

The parking is tight in the area however the overall experience was great being in the Oak Cliff area.

I prefer this location of The Island Spot because there was live reggae music on Friday night. I had the jerk chicken nachos which were delicious. The drinks th...

The food is fantastic, and the service is outstanding. The only downside is that they ran out of coco bread, and the drinks could be a bit stronger.
