Reviews for Queens island cuisine in Asheville, NC
A fantastic, delicious surprise to find this amazing food truck. The whole fried red snapper with escabeche has such an amazing... depth of flavor that I will begin a quest to try to replicate it at home. The jerk sauce should be bottled, I would definitelyhave it as a staple in my home. The chicken and pork is on the bone, and has the added flavor it imparts at its best. My onlyregret is that I didn\'t try the goat curry, because the complex aroma had me hooked. Unfortunately, the peas and rice and thecabbage slaw are too good to pass up and I was full. Read more
I just finished an entire plate of oxtail and jerk chicken and they both were delicious! Growing up my grandmother?s Jamaican... cooking, I?m always on the lookout for authentic, well prepared (and spicy) island food. I?ve had a lot of Jamaican food overthe years in Asheville and Querns is up there at the top!\nQueens Island is well worth stopping by!!! Five stars all day ???? Read more
If you are craving incredibly delicious, flavor-packed Jamaican food, then look no further! We were lucky to have Queens Island... visit our neighborhood. I\'ve worked in the restaurant industry for over 20 years and let me tell you, \"Queenie\" can cook! Hermarinade game is next level! We ordered the Jerk Chicken and Brown Stew Chicken with rice, festival and plantains. The foodsmelled amazing and tasted even more incredible. The brown stew chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender, stewed in a rich browngravy like sauce. The jerk chicken had the perfect slight tang and kick. My husband and I took one bite of each dish and oureyes were rolling in the back of our head! The rice with the brown sauce, with the sweet plantain and that delicious festival(which my daughter took and ate all of ours) had us licking the plate. I\'ve had \"Jamaican\" food in lots of restaurants overthe years and I can say this truck is the best and is legit! My husband said of the 20 food trucks we\'ve hosted, this one ishis favorite! AND Queenie and her family are such friendly and lovely people! I also appreciated the art on their truck. It\'sclear a lot of pride and love goes into their food and their work. Run out and try their food, you won\'t regret it. Read more
Galldang do I love Queenie?s food! Huge portions and every single bite is so incredibly flavorful, you can taste how much she... loves what she cooks! I recently got oxtail (the most tender meat I?ve ever had?my god), jerk chicken (so, so tasty), brown stewchicken (absolutely perfect). I also tried the ackee, a tropical fruit I haven?t had since my mom lived in Costa Rica years ago,that tastes like the lovechild of eggs and cashews; and her cabbage and red peas & rice are just packed with flavor. I don?tknow what this woman does to put so much magic into each bite but I hope she keeps doing it forever. And Queenie is sweet as canbe! Go get it. Read more
Queenie\'s food is so delicious, no lie! My husband and I had her cater his father\'s day meal. I usually don\'t eat lobster... because of previous experiences but after tasting their lobster I absolutely love lobster now. Thank you Queenie and Kiaree forbringing Jamaican comfort food to Asheville, NC. Bravo Queens!!! Read more
