MP Island Cafe — Restaurant in Portsmouth

I have been visiting since 2013 or before, but think that the time has come for me to say, "adios, amigos!" Thought I was the only one who has noticed grave changes in the quality, volume, and price uptick for the meals, but was shocked to read many of the reviews up here. Some of the complaints up here, are relatable to mine: gravy spilling out in the plastic bag (more than 1 occasion), amount of meat sparingly small for the amount of money charged for the meals, food is cold with no temperature for human consumption, lack of respect as compared to before. I noticed on several occasions that customers who appear to be regulars (lunch clients), are treated with more respect than the average person who goes in on rare occasions to make food purchases. I won't be surprised to see them out of business in the near future. As some people wrote up here, "Norfolk's" location has much better service, and customer service. Purchased 2 "Roti-chicken curry" recently and was charged $24.00 + tax. This is outrageous. There is one particular male server who runs in the back when he sees me coming, but prior to this new behavior, he would always be polite and assist. Not sure of the new standard of conduct, but it's time for me to say my "adios amigos!" Remember that it's the patrons that help keep you in business, whether they are...

A disappointing difference between this store compared to their place in Norfolk. They were out of the Breast and Wing lunch and the portions for the thigh and leg meal I did get were very small. The rice had a taste of perfume and the chicken was dry. I asked for heavy jerk sauce which I was given 2 small containers of it. While the presentation was good, it was the only thing that was (other than the beef patties I ordered). They don't seem to be consistent although they do only a 3rd of the business of what their Norfolk location does. Although they are both owned by the same person, this location lacks the value and flavor for the money. I think the pictures...

I've been coming to MPs for yearrrrs. They don't disappoint. I can eat off a large meal for a couple days. Delicious, filling, flavorful, consistently!!! This past visit, I brought my homegirl, and she had never been here. She was sooo excited to try everything!!! It was probably my favorite visit because she just raved about the food and spoke so highly of it when she tried her meal. We both had jerk chicken w/m, and cabbage, but I got spinach rice, and she got yams. I got beef patties and a chicken pattie also. Everything was good. I'm sure she will want to visit again, and I just moved from 5 now I'm closer to the Norfolk...
