About this business

The Island Express Grill in Columbus, Ohio offers a diverse menu of Caribbean-inspired dishes including jerk chicken, Rasta pasta, and island-style mac and cheese. While some diners praise their Caribbean fusion take on classic dishes and generous portions, others note the restaurant's interpretation differs from traditional Caribbean preparation methods. The spot seems to hit the mark with their Rasta pasta and beef patties, though some customers suggest tempering expectations when it comes to authenticity of traditional Caribbean dishes.
