I went yesterday to buy 2 soups. I got a fish broth and stew peas soup. The stew peas soup was spoiled and sour. I always go there and never had a problem but the staff was rude then gave me spoiled soup. That's ridiculous

Carls offers flavorful authentic Jamaican food and usually gives hearty servings. The chicken is very succulent and spicy (as I like it) and their plantains are the perfect flavor and texture. My only grievance is that it has the word “seafood” in its name yet only has one seafood item.
April 2025
Best Jamaican food for miles! I've been coming here since 2007 and I always stop by when I'm in town. Brown stew chicken is my favorite. And you can still eat a full lunch for unsee $10!!! Definitely check it out.
