Just tried food from their food truck. Delicious!! The brown stew chicken was perfect. The jerk chicken was spicy and worth every bite. The mac n cheese was better than other Jamaican locations in Delaware. The rice and peas was ok, the jerk sauce gave the rice some flavor. I enjoyed the food and would stop by the restaurant in the future. Thanks guys!!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

The staff was so friendly. Greeted us with love and comfort. Lots of seats to dine in. We both got the oxtails. Let me tell you the food is soooo good. We drove from DC to here because of the Instagram reviews. They did not disappoint at all. I literally had 8 oxtails in my platter (4) big ones (3) medium size and (1) small one. Even the small one had good meat on it, as you can see in the picture (the one with the collard greens). My girlfriend had 8 oxtails in hers also. (3) big ones (5) medium (pic with the cabbage). To explain...I've been to other places and they are really stingy on giving you decent size oxtails. You may have (1) big one and a lot of the small ones. I'm 6'3" 283lbs and I was full after this meal. Lol. The rice and peas was so flavorful. The plantains were nice, soft and sweet with just a little char on it to take it over the top. It was so good. They were out of the mac and cheese because of the time of day we went. So no reviews on the mac. Going back again soon to try the Brown stew chicken with the Mac and cheese.

A Hidden Gem for Jamaican Cuisine! I've visited Hummingbird Island Cuisine three days in a row, and each time I've tried something new and loved every bite. The food is consistently flavorful, hearty, and satisfying. The service is top-notch: I call ahead during my lunch break, and my order is always ready when I arrive, which is a huge plus. The staff are incredibly warm, kind, and patient - whether over the phone or in person, they make you feel welcome. It's rare to find such authentic Jamaican food paired with such great service. If you're craving delicious, soul-satisfying Jamaican dishes, this is the spot. Highly recommend - and yes, I’ll definitely be back!
