Absolutely blown away by my experience at Liberty Island Foods (LIF) if I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would!
From the moment I walked in, I was warmly greeted by the cashier, J**n, who was friendly, professional, and made me feel right at home. The atmosphere was spotless and inviting, with beautiful decor, comfortable seating, and a big-screen TV adding to the relaxed and cozy vibe.
The menu was filled with a wide variety of mouthwatering Caribbean dishes that made it hard to choose just one! I decided on the jerk chicken pasta and curry chicken, and both dishes exceeded my expectations. Everything is clearly made to order, a short wait for food that's fresh, hot, and full of flavor is a welcome trade-off.
The curry chicken came with rice, cabbage, and plantains, all cooked to perfection and bursting with rich, authentic Caribbean flavor. The jerk pasta was served piping hot and had just the right amount of heat, true to its Jamaican roots.
For my drink, I tried the Jamaican pineapple ginger, naturally sweetened with honey. It was slightly sweet but incredibly refreshing and delicious, the perfect complement to the meal.
I couldn’t resist also trying the jerk wings. I went with the medium heat level, and while they packed a serious punch, the flavor was phenomenal. Just a heads-up, if you're not big on spicy foods, definitely ask for the mild version. Either way, they’re a must-try!
The staff as a whole was exceptionally friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. It’s rare to find a place that delivers on every level, food, service, price, and ambiance, but LIF nails it across the board.
I’ve definitely found my new go-to spot for authentic Jamaican cuisine. Do yourself a favor and check out Liberty Island Foods, highly, highly...
