32 Best Caribbean Restaurants in Jacksonville

“amazing ! great authentic food“

“Great spicy food really enjoyed the jerk chicken and free water & fried plantains at Regancy these guys and their food are great people would highly recommend“

“Stopped in for a quick lunch not long after they opened for the day and was the first sit down customer. Restaurant was clean, quiet, and cool on a hot Jax summer day, with just the sounds of reggae and cooking coming from the kitchen. I wanted something that’d come out fast so I asked what was ready and selected the curry goat w rice and peas and cabbage. The food was great and medium was a good sized lunch portion.

The atmosphere was chill so I stuck around for a little bit to do some work before heading out. The bar and stage and large dining area suggested that the place can also get pretty lit on the right day and time and that’s something I’d love to come back and see next time.“

“Was in Jacksonville for the holidays this year, fun in the sun is an understatement. As usual I had to stop by and do a review so here we go.
Bahama Breeze was huge, a lot of space inside. There was also outside seating available, I was suprised at how many people were out for Christmas Eve but it wasn't full/busy. There were bars both inside and outside that one could choose from, the outside bar was more of a sports bar vibe with TVs to watch sporting events.
Service was decent, I have to be honest and say when I got seated I think they forgot about me. It took about 15 minutes for someone to come and speak to me. It happens, I was kind of hidden in a corner so I don't want to make it a huge thing. My waitress was kind and she got my order out to me quickly after she acknowledged my existence. I got some of my food to-go at the end of my stay and she added more to it before I left, which is always appreciated.
Food was good, I wasn't too thrilled with the flavors of the food. I did not hear anything about the establishment so I came in blind so I was open minded about the experience. A Caribbean place in Jacksonville right? Who knew? Lol! My drink was amazing. I had the King Carnival, highly recommended. One thing I will say is all the food I had was extremely filling, I started with the Chicken Tostones and that almost took me out! Great portions, but again it was lacking in the flavor department. Directly after I had the stuffed plantain bowl, I loved the sound of it on the menu: caramelized sweet plantain, yellow rice, ground beef, alllllllllll the goods. When I had it all together it was just......ok. Again no expectations but I was hoping to get more bang for my buck. I would love to go back and give it another try soon.“

“It’s a lot of goodness“

“Delicious food and excellent customer service. Family owned and a local staple in jax. Don’t forget the cornbread! They also have great vegetarian options!“

“I love Pepper Pot Restaurant, the food is delicious, the service is awesome and prices are affordable.“

“Friendly staff and owner. I didn't know what to expect but was greatly surprised. We had the pork enchiladas and a shrimp platter. The shrimp platter was my favorite. The plantain appetizer with avocado was amazing too. I'm going to have to add that one to my personal recipes.“

“Great Music Great Food Love Going There Every Time“

“Food was on time and delicious. Definitely recommend Say Grace Kitchen & Catering. 😋“

“Listen I did not know this little hidden gem was right up the street from where me and my husband live, we decided to stop at the laundromat and do a couple of loads of laundry and noticed this place next door and was like, let's go check it out, Ms. Gina. I believe she is. The owner, greeted us very pleasantly... We ordered three fried chicken beans and rice plates & two banana colas... We were the only customers at that time. So the place was empty. Her attitude was quite friendly and refreshing. The atmosphere What's pleasant? The food was amazing. The chicken, even though it looked dried out. Trust me, when I tell you. It was very juicy & well-seasoned... The coleslaw. Was amazing. I wish I could have had a lot more than that. L o l I started to go back and ask her to do me a pint of it... Sometimes you have to get out and explore your neighborhood. The food reminds me of straight-home cooking, which is refreshing. That means a lot coming for me. I don't eat out because I am very picky. We'll be paying, Ms. Gina. A visit again... So if you guys are ever on the west side of Jacksonville, go check her out, you won't be disappointed... For 3 plates & two banana colas plus tip..it was $43“

“great food and great service 15 out of 10. I will eat there every time I'm in the area“

“Anytime we go out of town for the weekend we always look for Small "Mom and Pops" authentic restaurants that are in the area we're staying. I happen to look for Jamaican restaurants as that is my husband's go to home food and happen to find Choppin Coppin which had great reviews, So we gave it a try.. but I must tell you if you don't pay attention to the GPS you will pass it by just like I did because it is the last store front in a very small Plaza and parking is very limited. CHOPPIN Coppin is 1000% authentic Jamaican cuisine that is without a doubt undeniably delicious. I ordered the medium oxtail with cabbage and rice and my husband ordered the large ribs, oxtail and chicken with rice and ginger based salad. It was absolutely delicious and very flavorful to the point my husband ordered a third plate to take home for later. If you're looking for authentic Caribbean food without a doubt this is a must try to enjoy while in Jacksonville....“

“I try to support local businesses in my area when I can, so I decided to try this food truck I’ve seen around town called Taste of Jamaica. I went with their jerk chicken combo. Everything on the plate was amazing. Super hot food, very moist and flavorful chicken, and the plates are big. I got the small plate and can still eat off it twice. Highly recommend stopping and getting lunch/dinner if you see this truck. Thanks for providing me a delicious meal🙏“

“First off, I want to thank the lovely woman at the counter for being patient with me. I had the cury goat with yellow rice and fried Plantains. The rice was good, and the Plantains were delicious. The curry was exceptional. The meat was tender and had so much flavor. I travel for work, and if I ever find myself in Jacksonville again, I will find a way to visit Sunrise again. I'll get the ox tail curry whenever that happens. This should be a food stop for anyone in Jacksonville or those visiting. Also recommend the in-house Sorrel drink they have. 10/10 delicious beverage to have with any meal here.“

“The food is great I recommend to all my friends and family.“

“This is the best and most authentic. I was born there and it’s true Jamaican food!!!“
