13 Best Caribbean Restaurants near Bristol

“Para Los Boriquas! 🇵🇷 Wepaaa 🇵🇷 comida buenisima! 🥘 los dueños y la mesera Keomy Excelente“

“As an event coordinator for our program, I had the pleasure of working with Milton from Jamaican Kitchen to cater a meeting we hosted in December for 55 attendees in Hamden. Although the nearest Jamaican Kitchen location was in Bristol, Milton kindly agreed to deliver the order to Hamden, going above and beyond to accommodate our needs. Having previously enjoyed their delicious food for a smaller group at the Hartford location, I knew Jamaican Kitchen would be an excellent choice. Milton was instrumental in helping me design a menu that fit within our budget while addressing the dietary restrictions of some attendees. The menu included rice and beans, steamed cabbage salad, sweet plantains, mini cocktail chicken and beef patties, jerk chicken, and vegetarian stew. Milton delivered the meal ahead of schedule, and everything arrived warm, neatly packaged, and clearly labeled—making service seamless. His professionalism, positive attitude, and responsiveness to my various inquiries made the entire experience stress-free. The attendees were thrilled with the meal, with particular praise for the cocktail patties. If you are looking for authentic Jamaican cuisine, exceptional service, and a reliable caterer, I highly recommend Milton and Jamaican Kitchen.“

“Chef Queen is the BEST! Absolutely delicious food is her speciality. Stop by, you won’t be disappointed!“

“Great Oxtail Dinners with beans & rice, Yummy“

“Delicious jerk chicken and brisket! The chicken in particular was cooked beautifully and had great heat and flavor. We got the combo platter at the Continuum event yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it. I didn't get a chance to come over myself to say hello since I was inside, but I'm glad my husband and I got to enjoy the BBQ for lunch. See you guys again!“

“The empanadas DID NOT fail me! This was exactly the taste I’ve been looking for at almost every restaurant. I got the beef empanada with the cubano. The seasoned meat on the cubano tasted like my childhood. I will for sure return for more food !“

“The owner is so nice, we enjoyed Everything we tried. I am not a fan of spice and loved the Rasta pasta he let me try it first. The wings were cooked perfectly and the crispy fries were amazing. Also we had the Cheeseburger and so yummy and juicy and you can’t beat his prices. Definitely will be back and we can’t wait, Thank-you. Definitely a 10!“

“best lil diner in wtby fast friendly and awesome food.“

“Bliss Vybz has always had delicious food but I had the pleasure of experiencing the catering services last week and was very pleased! They arrived on time and made sure everything was in place and being appropriately heated before they left. The curried goat and curried chicken were well seasoned and paired well with the white rice. The jerk chicken was authentic, smokey and delicious! The rice and peas and steamed cabbage complimented the meal and soaked up all of the flavors from the the gravies! The salmon bites were the talk of the party! They were so tender and flavorful! The service and attention to detail they provided was outstanding! I definitely recommend them for any event corporate or personal! There is so much more food to try. You will not be disappointed!“

“DO NOT JUDGE BY APPEARANCE!!

This place is a diamond in the rough. The food is deLICious! ESPECIALLY the smoked/bar-b-qued chicken. OMG, could eat that every day!

The owner talked to us for about 20 minutes. (Nice guy!) Over the past 5 years he’s had to keep increasing the size of his smoker because of the increase in customers. He’s about to do it again. The new one will fit 15 spits! Let that be an indication of how good this food is!

There were a few things I wish were different. There was no menu at the counter and nothing was labeled. If you’re not familiar with Caribbean dishes, you won’t know what to order. Of COURSE they’ll help you, but labels/menu would help. Also a larger selection of drinks would be nice. (Meaning non-alcoholic drinks.)

And, yeah, the place isn’t pretty. But, folks, you don’t HAVE to eat there. We did, and that’s how we met the owner. Worth it!

Seriously, try this place. Try that chicken! Soooooo good!“

“First time ever going into J’Stax.I felt instantly welcomed.The aroma of flavors was amazing. Food was fresh from the kitchen as I was ordering my food. The lady who served me was very patient and kind, so were the customers. They helped me out ordering since I wasn’t 100% sure of what I wanted everything looked amazing. And the taste of the jerk chicken, ox tails and curry chicken was absolutely incredible. Chef’s kiss honestly the meat was tender and full of flavors. Definitely will be returning soon.“

“yum. I don't get attitude 🥰 I get great food. thanks.“
