Reviews for Island Thyme Caribbean Grille in Orlando, FL

This is definitely more Carribean fusion than traditional Jamaican food. The jerk chicken was on point, but the other dishes we... got were just ok. The jerk shrimp and grits was too salty. We were sad that there weren't any patties or coco bread. Prices arevery reasonable, generous portions. Staff were friendly and there wasn't too long of a wait for food. Read more

Great food. Great amount of flavor. We had Caribbean chicken, jerk chicken, and jerk pork belly Mac and cheese. This place is... fantastic! Read more

Great food! Friendly staff. Quick service. We ordered the beef patties (empanadas) and greens and they were the bomb! Big... portions. Decent price. I?ll definitely revisit the next time I?m in the area. Read more

Food here is delicious, especially the mac & cheese, sweet potato fries, and bbq ribs. I had three individual side dishes that I... was charged for. However when my fries came back, they were combined in a large container that didn't hold enough as a singlecontainer. Basically I was charged $8 for $4 fries. Disappointed in them for this. Update: After receiving a message concerningmy previous post from Island Thyme, I visited the restaurant on 4/25/22. As an older, African American, woman in her 60s, I knowwhen I'm being disrespected. I wrote truthfully about the size of my previous order. It was of minor importance. However, thechef/manager/owner/ whatever his title), was a bit dismissive of me and the situation. He said, "Im not going to argue with youabout it." He walked away after instructing the staff to give me an order of free fries. I wasn't looking for free food. I stillpurchased fries & mac n cheese (pictured). I wasn't arguing. I was explaining what I had not received. Whether I spent $24+, forthe sides or over $90 on my previous visit, I deserve to be treated with respect as I give everyone respect. On a side note: thefood was delicious. It just isn't delicious enough for me to continue to go to a place where I have had a negative experience. Read more

Some of the best carribbean food in Central Florida. The jerk shrimp and grits was to die for and the jerk chicken was out of... this world. So much flavor in every bite. If I could rate this place 6 stars, I would. Read more

Awesome place for lunch or dinner! The oxtail is Magic! Slow cooked and hearty goodness! I had the oxtail over mac and cheese... which is homemade not packaged! Everything is clean and made from scratch!! I also had the empanadas which came with an amazingsauce! The owner is the nicest guy! I will be back!! Read more

I found this restaurant when looking for a favorite dish of mine; oxtail. This restaurant not only serves the BEST oxtail I?ve... ever had but also serves great jerk chicken. The restaurant offers dine-in, but I?ve always taken my meals to go. If you arelooking for great island food, you need to give this place a try Read more
