Island Sips & Bites — Restaurant in New York

OMG!! So, I read the reviews and the location was convenient. I decided to try. Rave reviews about the Oxtails. I sent my daughter and ordered a medium and large Oxtail and a beef patty. The beef patty was the first thing I ate. It was soooo thin. Like the filling was smeared inside, super thin. I didn't even taste the filling. The Oxtails- soon as I took the top off, the smell hit me!! A very strong sour smell that was trying to be disguised as a garlic smell. The meat was extremely tough. My children and I did not eat the Oxtails seriously because of the smell. Very very sour smell and the longer the top stayed off, the stronger the smell became. I would never go there again. I won't even walk on the same block. Save your money. I always go to Mike's Island Grill but I wanted to try something closer to home. The medium, large and beef patty came to $40. Very small portions. I could get a large from Mike's and it will feed 2 adults,...

This place is TRASH!!! I work in the area and I wanted a Jamaican style beef patty so I gave them a try. When I walked in I was not greeted properly there was a heavy set Caribbean women at the front who was on her cell phone when I walked and continued to be on the phone the entire time. I asked if they sold beef patties she replied yes I asked about Coco bread she replied he said he will get some idk who (he) is ! But I continued and ordered two patties which came up to 8 dollars which means I spent 4 dollars each that was strike 2 for me but I paid with a 10 dollar bill the lady gave me back a dollar said she didn’t have anymore change smh strike 3 so I left and got back to work only to be very disappointed the patties were not good I could have went to dollar tree and gotten 1 Jamaican style beef patty for 1.50 and enjoy it better than that .. overall I will not recommend a sole to this place 1 out...

Island Sips & Bites is a true gem! From the moment you walk in, the warm, welcoming atmosphere sets the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. The authentic Jamaican flavors are unmatched, each dish bursts with freshness and bold seasoning that truly represents the essence of island cuisine.

The staff is friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do. Whether you're craving a quick bite or a full meal, Island Sips & Bites is the place to be. I can’t wait to return and explore more of their...
