If you’re anywhere near Indiana and haven’t been to Caribbean Roots, you’re missing out on one of the most heartwarming, flavorful experiences around. This isn’t just a restaurant—it’s the kind of local gem that makes you feel like family the moment you walk through the door. The atmosphere is laid-back yet full of life, with a genuine warmth that you can’t fake. You can tell this is a place built on passion, pride, and community. The food? Absolutely unforgettable. Their jerk chicken is a masterpiece—perfectly spiced, juicy, and packed with authentic Caribbean flavor that lingers in the best way possible. Every bite tells a story of tradition and care, and you can feel the love that goes into each dish. They don’t just serve food here—they share culture, soul, and generosity on a plate.
What really sets Caribbean Roots apart is the humbleness of the people behind it. They treat every guest like a neighbor, going above and beyond to make sure you’re happy. It’s local dining at its finest—authentic, approachable, and filled with personality. Whether you’re here for a quick bite or a full feast, you’ll leave with a full stomach and an even fuller heart.
Do yourself a favor: check out Caribbean Roots. You won’t regret it—you might even find yourself planning your next visit before you’ve finished your meal.

100% recommend! My fiance and I come here at least once a week. The chicken is full of flavor. The workers are so kind. Just walking by smelling the pits outback sound be enough reason to give them a try!

Some of the best jerk chicken I’ve had in a long long time. The empanadas are perfection. And I genuinely don’t really like sweets but their rum cake is superb.

My husband and I have been driving past this place for months and months, and we finally decided to stop in and try the food. We're so happy to leave this review as we were blown away at how good and fresh the food was, and the portion size was spot-on too. We got the jerk rib tips, cabbage, mac & cheese and cornbread. Everything was delicious. The customer service was warm and friendly, and the restaurant was spotless! We'll be going back this week. It is good to know that Miller Beach has a nice dine-in/take-out restaurant with delicious food and wonderful atmosphere! PLEASE KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!

Not what I expected. The coleslaw was bland so I added some white wine vinegar. The empanada was not all that great either...

My wife brought this home for dinner for us and this is easily the best food I've had in a long time. I'll be having this again without a doubt.
Ohhh I wish I live close to this restaurant! They have great service with great food. We ordered Dominican chicken with green plantains, ox tail, fried chicken and ram cake. They were all delicious! Restaurant, including bathroom were very clean.

The hours use to be limited and only open 3 days a week so this visit came highly anticipated and didn't disappoint. From the cashier/host Kiara and only Ryan they were knowlegable, well spoken and good hosts. This is as good as it gets on Lake Street in Downtown Miller Beach and comes highly recommended. Support small owned and local business's like this fine establishment.
This place is amazing I go here for lunch at least twice a week. My food is constantly flavorful and hot service is always pleasant and helpful. Hidden gem and I love it and I'm hard to please

Small shop with big flavor. The jerk chicken was very good and the jerk ribs hit. I got extras to take home. I’m going back soon.
