If you're looking for authentic Caribbean food in Winston-Salem, Island Vibez is definitely worth a visit! I ordered the oxtails with white rice and cabbage, and everything was absolutely delicious. The oxtails were tender, flavorful, and fell right off the bone. The cabbage was seasoned well and paired perfectly with the rice. A couple of things to note: the wait was a little longer than expected, but that's because the food is cooked to order, and you can definitely taste the difference. The music inside was also a bit louder than my preference, but it didn't take away from the quality of the meal. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my dinner and will definitely be back. Great food is always worth a little wait!

i stopped by this place on a random day after passing the restaurant for a while. i didn’t know that new management had taken over and created such a good restaurant with a great chef! great customer service and environment this place is great. honestly, i can say this with no bias.. this is the best Jamaican in the winston salem area. you can tell chef Hiskey Don has the passion and the true Jamaican flare that’s needed to provide you with the best Jamaican food. i’m very particular with Jamaican food because there’s soooo many misses but this is a hit! if you’re not coming here, you’re def missing out! don’t be like me and ask why didn’t i try this earlier! reminds me of real jamaican food straight from the island. the curry goat was perfect and the jerk was perfect as well as the mac and cheese even the veg was seasoned and tasted good. most places give you a side of nasty veg but this was good. that tells you everything he makes he put effort into! if im being truthful, everything was perfect. I could see myself going and getting something different off the menu every time I go there because I know it’s good. this isn’t a place where only specific items on the menu are good.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolute fire. No shortcuts. Real island vibes. I finally got a chance to eat at Island Vibez Jamaican Restaurant, and I’m not exaggerating when I say this was one of the best restaurants I’ve had in Winston-Salem, PERIOD... From the moment I opened the container, the smell alone told me I was in for something special. The oxtails were falling off the bone. Slow cooked, rich, and full of flavor all the way through. Not just saucy on the outside, but seasoned deep. The gravy over the rice was perfect, not greasy, not watery, just straight comfort food done right. The mac and cheese deserves its own shout-out. Baked, cheesy, slightly crispy on top, and still creamy underneath. You can tell it wasn’t rushed or scooped from a tray that’s been sitting all day. It tasted like somebody actually cared.Then there were the fried okra .. crispy, seasoned, and addictive. Even people who usually don’t like okra would mess these up. Every bite had that crunch without being oily. What really stood out to me was consistency. Everything on the plate worked together. Nothing felt like an afterthought. This is the kind of food that reminds you why Jamaican cuisine is special bold flavors, pat
