• 20/7/26This place is always amazing! The bbq jerk tofu is one of my favorite things to get when I want something tasty and filling. The vegan Mac n cheese is the best side also!!

• 7/6/24The flavors were great, although different from anything I've had before. The Jerk BBQ Tofu was a large enough for 2 big meals. I opted for yellow rice and it was unlike any I'd had before. The tofu is fried and then covered in what I would describe as a somewhay sweet, mild jerk bbq sauce. The Plantains were wonderful and perfectly caramelized. The Johnny Cakes were a little heavy/dense, but I drizzled with honey and they had a lovely flavor. My only disappointment was in the size of the Cabbage side. It is cooked perfectly and has just the right amount of garlic, but I thought for the price, the side world be a little larger considering cabbage is pretty cheap.

Desert Island Eatery - Surprise, AZ
This place is an absolute treasure in Surprise, Arizona! While Desert Island Eatery isn’t strictly vegan, their vegan menu is to die for—especially the jerk tofu. It’s perfectly seasoned, packed with bold island flavor, and has that irresistible crisp-tender texture that tofu dreams are made of.
And don’t even get me started on the mac and cheese—rich, creamy, and comforting in every bite. It's the kind of meal that makes you forget you're eating plant-based (and then makes you proud that you are).
The vibe is welcoming, the portions are generous, and you can taste the love in every dish. Whether you're plant-based or just craving something flavorful and unique, Desert Island Eatery delivers every single time. A must-visit spot with food that feeds your soul.
If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Desert Island Eatery is an absolute hidden gem in Surprise, Arizona, and their jerk tofu

• 21/8/26The best ever, I love this place. After I eat there I am sad because I have to wait some time again until I can order. The bbq tofu and Mac plate is my favorite and I appreciate that they have vegan options so much!!
