17 Best Caribbean Restaurants in Lauderhill

“I stopped by for breakfast, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Sonia was absolutely amazing! She was warm, welcoming, and took the time to walk me through the breakfast menu, explaining the different dishes and making great recommendations.

The ackee and saltfish was cooked to perfection—fresh, flavorful, and seasoned just right. You can tell it was made with care and authenticity. And the hominy porridge? Let's just say it's not for the faint of heart! It's rich, hearty, and packed with traditional flavor. If you're familiar with authentic Jamaican breakfasts, you'll definitely appreciate it.

Between the exceptional customer service and the delicious food, this place earned every one of these five stars. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!“

“Veah was a great server. When you come ask for her. You won’t be disappointed by her service!“

“A Bumpy Start Turned Into Stellar Service at Pot on Wheels!

Pot on Wheels aesthetically is a very nice-looking restaurant, and I had heard great things about the food from my relatives. After a very long, tiring Saturday, I finally decided to make an Uber pickup and see for myself.

I searched the Uber Eats app and found Pot on Wheels, which immediately caught my attention. I placed my order for chicken brown stew—and that was it, since I prefer to enjoy my beverages at home.

Atmosphere & Arrival
When I walked in, the staff was really friendly and very attentive. The place itself is aesthetically pleasing and great for a date night, featuring good lighting, plenty of seating, and plenty of parking right in front of the establishment.

The Hiccup & Resolution
However, an issue arose when the hostess at the front said she never received my order from the Uber Eats app. This was confusing because I was clearly charged by the Uber app, and it had notified me that my order was ready.

Naturally, I tried to contact Uber, but I kept getting stuck in an automated AI chat. When the staff initially told me there was nothing they could do, I asked to speak with the manager. The manager came over, looked puzzled as well, and explained that a food truck accepts the orders and that I had accidentally ordered from the wrong location.

I realized it was an honest mistake after a very long day. Because of ongoing carnival events in the area, their food truck was handling a huge volume of orders while keeping up with operations at another location, and the app was still taking in orders.

The manager tried to see if she could honor my order or offer an exchange, though it felt difficult to prove my receipt because Uber Eats support was so unhelpful.

Exceptional Professionalism
What truly drove me to write this review, however, is how the manager handled the entire situation. She managed to find an extra order of brown chicken stew, letting me take the very last one. The way she handled everything made me feel so much more comfortable; she genuinely paid attention to what was going on, corrected my issue, and successfully managed other customers' orders at the same time. This level of professionalism is rare to find in a restaurant today.

The Food & Final Verdict
And the food? It was really, really good. The chicken was cooked to perfection, the rice was amazing, and everything was brilliantly complemented by the brown stew sauce.

I strongly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to have a good time and experience consistent service. Even though it was my first time here, I am definitely coming back—and I’ll be bringing more people with me!“

“Went at a time, around 1PM on a Saturday. The line was not long so was served quickly. It took less than 5 minutes from the time I placed my order until it was delivered to me. The servers were courteous and served with a smile. The only draw back that day, I tried ordering on line, but the website was down.“

“Tasty food and Ms Joy is very Friendly and greet her customers like family ❤️ she is always giving back to the community by sending food for people in need that cannot come to her restaurant like they used to because of their illnesses 🙏 god bless 🥰“

“The atmosphere takes me back home. The service is impeccable and the food is superb. When you go there, they know who you are and that makes a difference. I have to say it is the best authentic Jamaican food in Broward County and I venture to say South Florida.“

“If you’re looking for great vibes, amazing food, and a place that truly knows how to bring people together—this is it. 🎤✨“

“First time going to yellowtail Jamaican restaurant pass it almost everyday going home so I my daughter want something to eat so she say I should get her some food from yellowtail so I get her curry chicken and white rice and she love the food.“

“This restaurant is a hidden gem! The food is incredible — perfectly seasoned, cooked to perfection, and bursting with authentic Haitian flavor. The snapper was huge, meaty, and seasoned in every nook and cranny. The griot? Fried to crispy perfection with just the right amount of tenderness — not too fatty at all. And the rice? Aromatic, rich, and full of flavor. Every bite felt like a celebration.

The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, with a great selection of music that added to the overall vibe. Whether you're grabbing takeout or sitting down for a full lunch or dinner, this place delivers. The service was top-notch — friendly, attentive, and fast.

Highly recommend this spot for anyone craving real Haitian food made with love and care. 10/10 experience — I’ll definitely be back!“

“These guys were so awesome. Jean, chen, Lorenzo, and the other young Guy showed great customer service. I could tell the food was going to be good by how long the line was and it did not disappoint. I had the j*** chicken rice and peas with plantains. Definitely will be back for the wings!“

“Good is good and the prices is great“

“OMG!! The food was above amazing!!! Tasted just like my Aunt in the country made it. I had the liver and hard food,liver was sooo tasty with a hint of pepper!!! I am from Orlando and whenever I am in Fort Lauderdale this will be my spot to eat!!! The service is above par too...l“

“Our goat (cabrit) and chicken (poulet) en sauce were plentiful and very good.. tender, not too greasy (vs. many Haitian stews that have a thick layer of fat on top), and well-seasoned. The one customer-facing employee was professional re: service; however, he played his phone on speaker while he scrolled through his feed of various videos (some political, some profane) very loudly the whole time we were there.“
