Marlene's Caribbean Take-Out Restaurant - Lakeland Florida Location

Great place to eat

Wow, the food was amazing! I've had Jamaican food before and this was top five of the places I've eaten from. Everything was seasoned perfectly, the spices hit every taste bud. Thank you for great service and food
I will definitely be back for more.

She serves old food, not good quality better off going to another Jamaican restaurant. I ordered curry chicken you could tell it was old and ordered Fish from her one time, and there was hair all over the box. We’ll never be back

This was my first time trying Marlene's take out. Ordered on door dash. The delivery was punctual.
The Food was edible. Definitely not what I was hoping for. My wife and I tried the curry chicken and the curry turkey dinner plates. Rice and Peas as the side. Rice was ok. The plate came with cabbage and cornbread. It was not worth the money, imo. Nothing special about the Mac and cheese. Neither of the curry dishes tasted Anything like we've had before. We are very familiar with island food. Jamaican and Haitian food in particular. This was definitely sub par. I can not write anything about the service and the actual establishment itself as we ordered delivery. But I won't be a regular patron of this establishment.

I just ordered 2 oxtail with rice and peas. It was my first time eating from that restaurant. Honestly, I did not like it. I’m feeling nauseous. It did not taste fresh. I’m highly disappointed because each order was 22$.

If they could decorate the inside better. At least paint the walls Jamaican colors. Looks unoccupied when you first walk in but the food definitely makes up for it. It was hot, seasoned well. The customer service was great actually.
Parking is bad too if you can’t find a spot behind the building you’ll have to walk.

I’m plant based and the cabbage and rice and peas (red beans and rice) are amazing; seasoned very well, I look forward to tasting the plantains!I’m very satisfied with the quality of the food it’s flavorful.

Recently had Marlene's ox tail, jerk chicken,cabbage,Rice and peas for my wife's bday party for a total of 15 people.... very very good food I must say. She had the food ready for me to pick up very easy process everything was correct and exceeded my expectations. I'd give more stars if I could.
