36 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“

“This is my 3rd trip and the food is always delicious and flavorful. This is the best Jamaican spot in Jacksonville, in my opinion. The atmosphere is a vibe and they even have brunch on Sundays. If you’re in the mood for some delicious Jamaican food this restaurant will not disappoint your taste buds.“

“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.“

“Okay, so we love Bahama Breeze! Our last visit to Town Center was just awesome. We grabbed some seats at the bar and immediately got into their amazing drinks, plus that incredible crab dip – seriously, you gotta try it!

But honestly, the best part of our night was our bartender, Bobby. Not only does he mix up some of the most delicious cocktails ever, but his company and personality just made the whole experience even better. He's genuinely fun to hang out with and you can tell he really loves what he does.

Hot Tip: If you're feeling a little daring, just tell Bobby to surprise you with a drink. Trust us, he absolutely will NOT let you down! You'll end up with something perfectly crafted and super tasty.

Big thanks for a great time, Bahama Breeze, and a HUGE shout-out to Bobby for making our night so memorable! We'll definitely be back to see you!“

“The Curried Goat is the bomb 💣“

“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 prices and large portions. Staff was excellent and the food was great!“

“I ordered the Red Snapper Escovitch dinner and it didn't miss a beat!!! It was seasoned to profection & very delicious!!! I also got an order of plantains which was very delicious!! Their staff was very nice as well as the atmosphere. I would definitely recommend them!!!“

“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....“

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

“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🙏“

“Very good experience and the food is great“

“Went for a bridal shower lunch and really enjoyed myself. The service and food definitely deserve 5 Stars. I was able to sample a lot of the menu and everyone really enjoyed their food. I don't even eat shrimp but I have to comment on how well it was fried and seasoned because everyone in the group was raving about it. I ordered the veggie rasta pasta which was absolutely delicious. I also had some of the oxtail rice and macaroni. Very well seasoned I just wish there was more meat in both. I also had a mango mocktail which I really enjoyed. Will return again soon for more yummy food and try something off their cocktail menu now that I've given birth since my visit.

Vegetarian options: The veggie rasta pasta was just what I needed. Super flavorful with the right amount of spice. Will order again.“

“The Girlfriends Brand celebrated our 6 year anniversary with a host of friends. The accommodations were perfect. The staff, Noel & Wayne, were amazing and the food was 10/10 Several entree options were ordered amongst our party of 20+. The fresshness and the flavors… whew… We could not have chosen a better place to celebrate. If anyone is thinking about visiting, this is your confirmation!!!! Thank you Chef Richard & Team!!!“

“The food is absolutely amazinggggggg“

“I got the brown stew chicken meal with beans rice and Mac n cheese and also cornbread. this meal was THEE BEST JAMAICAN FOOD I've ever had. I've tried other places and this one doesn't compare to them, this is above top notch in taste. That cornbread is 🔥🔥🔥🔥 I will be back again, they're never gonna get tired of me because their food hits the spot!“

“Decided to try something new and I’m glad. The food was delicious. I got the jerk chicken and an order of curry chicken. Great portions as well“

“Authentic and consistent. This was the first Jamaican food I ever had when I came here in 2008. It's been good every time. No complaints at all. Today I gave my mom and my sons their first taste of Jamaican food from here and she LOVED IT. (Oxtails, peas and rice, with vegetables)“

“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.“

“I'm going back today“

“Man oh man!! This was the best Jamaican food I’ve had in a LONG time. I ordered the Oxtail plate with candied yams and cabbage with rice & peas. The oxtail were cooked to perfection; perfectly tender just the way I like. And don’t get me started on the gravy!! Chefs kiss! My gf ordered the veggie plate because she is vegetarian (obviously). The Mac and cheese was delicious and you can tell love was put in it, but let me tell yall about them GREEEENS!!! Baby, don’t leave without them. All in all, the experience was wonderful, customer service was exceptional, and the atmosphere was cozy. 10/10 recommend.

Vegetarian options: They offer a veggie plate with meatless sides.“
