Taste of the Island

Review: Taste of the Island

The Jackson metro area has a wealth of great restaurants serving up Southern and American cuisine. You could eat out for weeks and never have the same fried catfish or cheeseburger twice.

Another of my regular lunch spots in the Jackson downtown area. The Jerk Chicken along with red bean rice is as good as it gets. I stay in the Tampa Bay Area which has many Caribbean restaurants due to the proximity and taste of the island matches up. Get in there around 11:30 or 12 and you might be lucky enough to lay your hands on the fried plantains.

Jackson sure has changed. Once upon a time, “international food” meant Taco Bell, Dynasty, and not much more.

This Carribean take-out restaurant is located right in the heart of downtown, and it’s bringing yet another flavor to the rapidly diversifying local food scene. Try the jerk chicken or the fried...
