I have been a loyal customer for 7 years and I tried to give him chance after chance BUT the food isnāt as flavorful as it used to be, the portions are wayyyyy smaller ( paying $20 for a dinner with 6 pieces of meat and mostly gravy for goat) and tyr customer service is horrible. Definitely not what it used to be. I used to come twice a week and changed to once a week. But after finding hair in my food and the owner pretending like he didnāt see it ( even though other customers and workers did once it was pointed out and clearly not my hair) I have washed my hands with this place. ( he did replace my meal but they gave me even less) picture below. I didnāt think it would come to the day I say this but just go to āDi big jerkā for flavorful carribean food with good customer service.

After moving from South Florida to Northern Florida, I struggled to find authentic curry goatāuntil someone recommended Caribbean Spice. Even though itās an hour away from my home, their curry goat was worth every mile. It reminded me of my late father's cooking and perfectly satisfied my craving. The owner was friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. I also tried the brown stew chicken, and the bread pudding was so good it didnāt survive the drive backāI finished it on the way home! Iāll definitely be returning to explore more of their menu.
Vegetarian options: Rice and peas, steamed cabbage, plantains
