Absolutely 5 stars. I took the wrong turn driving in Kaneohe and saw Island Pattys for the first time. Lived in NY for few years, came back to Oahu for good. I got really excited when I saw this place. I missed Jamaican foods so much so I thought I'll give it a try. My cravings satisfied! It was absolutely delicious! It brought me back to Queens NY, where Jamaican foods are the best! I had the jerk chicken with beans and rice, spice was perfect.

I will definitely come back on Saturdays since you're close on Sundays. Highly...
