11 Best Caribbean Restaurants near Charleston

“The cocktails are fantastic. Whatever your preferred libation pleasure, they can make it or have a rendition of it that's probably better than your standard.The one food option (a Cuban when we were there) was great and a nice little bit of substance to the belly while we continued to order their well crafted drinks.Like others have said, they make quality cocktails efficiently.Definitely hit this spot. You will be glad you did.“

“I’m a sucker for good customer service :) I’ve been here several times. I told a friend you could eat off the floor because it was so clean inside which is huge to me. I have enjoyed my meals, but the one thing that took me over the top was their coco bread. If you only try one thing please let it be the coco bread :) no regrets I promise. I got a side of Mac & Cheese and the side is huge and priced real good! Oh, my review wouldn’t be authentic if I didn’t mention that I wasn’t a fan of the Rasta pasta…trust me I really wanted to be, but it was new to me, and my taste buds said no thanks. The pasta and sauce combination were off but I have no clue if it’s suppose to be that way (more pasta than sauce…the flavors didn’t hit for me). Definitely coming back to try more items on the menu!!!“

“I was so excited to dine at fuel after a long day at court (custody battle...lol), and naturally I was a little high strung, however upon my arrival my mood instantly shifted being greeted by Winner (I think that was their name?). Their service was impeccable, and I enjoyed my time and my meal (i indulged in the jerk chicken rice bowl with a humble side of hot wings, and a Shirley temple to wash it all down) despite the smell of I suppose a very high tide. I WILL be returning!“

“this place is PHENOMENAL!!!we've been a few times and looking forward to the next. portions are ridiculously large, prices are fair, wait staff and manager super friendly.the jerk chicken , brown stewed chicken, and curry chicken are to die for. 10/10 absolutely recommend!“

“I was not impressed when I visited a while back. I found out why: I was not served by Antoine last time, and that made 100% of the difference. The food was better, the atmosphere was more fun, even the wait when there was one was nice. The place is 4 stars' worth, but Antoine is a 6.“

“Very unique spot with an equally unique menu. I love the overall ambience of the restaurant, the patio/garden area is beautiful and the cocktails are amazing! Definitely one of my recommendations to my friends who visit town as it’s unlike any other restaurant in Charleston.I first went here in 2021 and have been a fan since, and I’m excited to try the new menu by Chef Damian!“

“I love this place! Lunch here is always on point. The oxtail….. baby it is so mouth watering. If you’re looking for a low key spot with great food, wonderful music, and a very attentive staff, look no further than The Crepe Palace.Kid-friendliness: Kids are welcome and they have great options for the little ones. My son loves the desert Crepes.“

“Awesome outdoor restaurant with good food. You do have to serve yourself, but it is a nice place to sit and enjoy a taco and a beer. Lots of shade from trees.Parking: Not many places to park but short walking distance from downtown main drag. There are a decent amount of pay for parking lots nearby.Kid-friendliness: All the seating is wooden benches and tables outside and kids can run around.“

“In the Charleston area, and looking for authentic Caribbean food comes to Caribbean Delight. Some of the best oxtail I have tasted in a long time, the rice and peas cooked to perfection. The curry goat was tender, and plantains were delicious. The staff was friendly and the food was ready quickly.Parking: Small parking lot“

“Pretty darn good latin cuisine. Being raised in the South Bronx it reminds me of the Puerto Rican ran shops that offered chicharrones and plantains. Very nostalgic. There's a small language barrier but luckily the menu has pictures and I can honestly say the food looks just like the pictures. You don't have to dress up and the environment isn't exquisite but if you came for the food you got the right place.“

“I live in Atlanta now but the Jerk Chicken here is THE BEST I’ve ever had in my life and I’ve eaten at over 90 Jamaican restaurants and counting so with that said I will be back in 2 weeks it’s a 5 hour drive but it’s worth it because I’ve ate here so many times but never had to drive this far but I will in 2 weeks“
