5 Best Caribbean Restaurants near Ponte Vedra Beach

“Pusser's Bar & Grill Ponte Vedra is the perfect place for our Ladies afternoon out. The outdoor seating allows you to bring a fur baby, (pet's on a leash) to enjoy the waterfall, lakeside, while in staying cool in the shade. My close friends meet here on a regular Monthly basis. A great time relax, catching up on life events. A must try, there Happy Hour Specials!! Grilled Shrimp Skewers, 🍤, Freshly prepared Guacamole dip, chips, Veggies Carrots 🥕, Celery platter, and Fritters. We've never been disappointed with the Food, Service, or Atmosphere. Highly recommended!!“

“Was in Jacksonville for the holidays this year, fun in the sun is an understatement. As usual I had to stop by and do a review so here we go.
Bahama Breeze was huge, a lot of space inside. There was also outside seating available, I was suprised at how many people were out for Christmas Eve but it wasn't full/busy. There were bars both inside and outside that one could choose from, the outside bar was more of a sports bar vibe with TVs to watch sporting events.
Service was decent, I have to be honest and say when I got seated I think they forgot about me. It took about 15 minutes for someone to come and speak to me. It happens, I was kind of hidden in a corner so I don't want to make it a huge thing. My waitress was kind and she got my order out to me quickly after she acknowledged my existence. I got some of my food to-go at the end of my stay and she added more to it before I left, which is always appreciated.
Food was good, I wasn't too thrilled with the flavors of the food. I did not hear anything about the establishment so I came in blind so I was open minded about the experience. A Caribbean place in Jacksonville right? Who knew? Lol! My drink was amazing. I had the King Carnival, highly recommended. One thing I will say is all the food I had was extremely filling, I started with the Chicken Tostones and that almost took me out! Great portions, but again it was lacking in the flavor department. Directly after I had the stuffed plantain bowl, I loved the sound of it on the menu: caramelized sweet plantain, yellow rice, ground beef, alllllllllll the goods. When I had it all together it was just......ok. Again no expectations but I was hoping to get more bang for my buck. I would love to go back and give it another try soon.“

“Friendly staff and owner. I didn't know what to expect but was greatly surprised. We had the pork enchiladas and a shrimp platter. The shrimp platter was my favorite. The plantain appetizer with avocado was amazing too. I'm going to have to add that one to my personal recipes.“

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

“This is the best and most authentic. I was born there and it’s true Jamaican food!!!“
