18 Best Caribbean Restaurants near Brandon

“We all had a very experience. Had to wait about 30 minutes for a seat on a Saturday evening. Food was great but the kitchen was a bit slow. We were in a booth that was pretty tight getting in and out of. This has been a fun additional restaurant option and sorry to see them close.“

“We are so thrilled that Hey Mon opened up within WALKING distance of our house. We will definitely become regulars. Our whole family loves their Puff Bread . The Roti Bread is OUT OF THIS WORLD! The sauces are delicious! We haven’t even begun to try the dinners but we’ll be back!!! My goal is to make my way through the entire menu by the end of the summer. We go to the Caribbean every year for Spring Break. What a way to have the islands here all year round!“

Ordered the steak & shrimp Tropi Boy, The Chick Shack Sandwich & a grilled cheese kids meal. Man o man! So so so good! The flavor of the meats are mouth watering. I don’t know what kind of sauce they use but I want more of it! Thank you for the yummiest dinner we’ve had this week! Thankfully we live close so this will become a regular spot for us. ♥️“

“Island Jerk Shack did NOT come to play.

They catered half the food at my wedding, and let me tell you… it was an absolute HIT. Like, people still talking about it kind of hit. The jerk chicken was unreal—perfectly seasoned, smoky, juicy, with that authentic island flavor that instantly transported me straight back home. 🇯🇲✨

The rice and peas? Flawless. Rich, comforting, and exactly how it’s supposed to taste. This wasn’t just “good catering food”—this was real Jamaican food, made with love and serious skill.

So grateful we chose Island Jerk Shack for such an important day. The food brought warmth, joy, and a whole lot of flavor to our celebration. If you want authentic island vibes and food that feels like home, look no further.

10/10. Would cater my wedding again. Would eat this weekly if I could. 🔥🍗🍚“

“Place is really close to home so that's convenient. Good food. Best for takeout, not eating in. They don't speak much English so point to tell them what you want and they'll take care of you. I ordered the vegetable tray, since I'm not eating meat right now. It was seasoned to perfection and perfectly crispy brown. I didn't miss meat at all.“

“Have heard abt Tara’s for over 30 years but never stopped in. Recently changed to a vegetarian diet and wanted to get something good and filling. I ordered the Vegetarian Sampler and a vegetarian roti, my husband ordered the Boneless Chicken Roti. He enjoyed his order and I loved mine‼️. I would suggest if you don’t know what you want as a vegan or vegetarian, order the sampler. You will not be disappointed, the flavors are memorable ‼️ 😋
I now have a place to eat when I want flavorful vegetarian food. They serve all types of meat dishes on the menu also so everyone has a choice! I suggest you give Tara’s a try, you won’t be disappointed 😊“

“This food was very delicious, I forgot to take a picture but I got the pernil and it was moist, and yummy, the side I chose was malanga mash, MY BELLY IS FULL! You get a lot, 2 people easily could’ve eaten from my meal.

My husband got the caren de res con papa y sanaorias. It was Yummy! And Anna whole slice of avocado!

I washed my food down with their fresh made mango juice, and my hubby got a canned Coke. Seriously, stop by and get your fill. All that for less then $30!!! You can’t go wrong!

Don’t forget to smile, they ladies here are awesome!“

“love the atmosphere and the karoake is what I go for and Im from out of town“
