“Delicious! We got the chicken, oxtail, and shrimp tacos (picked the corn and pineapple pico as toppings), jerk chicken bowl (corn, jerk cauliflower, pickled slaw and pineapple pico as toppings), and angry mac n cheese. Shrimp taco was my favorite since it was the spiciest. They accidentally left out the jerk sauce I asked for and yet everything was still flavorful without it. They do offer delivery but I ended up picking it up since online ordering kept giving an error message. Ordering over the phone was a little challenging so in the absence of online ordering it may be easier to just stop by and order in person.“

“I had a great experience at Caribeyond Restaurant! The flavors brought me right to the heart of Haitian cuisine. The macaroni pie was creamy, cheesy, and perfectly baked—definitely a standout. The black rice was rich and fragrant, and the chicken legs were juicy and seasoned to perfection. I also really enjoyed the fish cakes—crispy on the outside, tender inside, and full of flavor.

The only dish that didn’t quite hit the mark for me was the chicken patty. It was a bit dry and didn’t have the same bold taste as the other items. That said, everything else made up for it, and I’ll definitely be coming back to try more.

If you’re looking for authentic Haitian comfort food, Caribeyond is worth a visit!“

“I’ve been to a few of Island Cuisine’s different locations before, and this time I decided to give this one a try. I’m happy to say it absolutely lived up to the high standard I’ve come to expect!

I ordered the jerk chicken with rice and peas, cabbage, and plantain, paired with their pineapple ginger juice. Every element of the meal was flavorful and satisfying. The jerk chicken was tender, smoky, and full of that bold, authentic Caribbean spice. The rice and peas were perfectly cooked and seasoned, the cabbage had just the right touch of flavor without being heavy, and the plantains were sweet and perfectly caramelized.

The pineapple ginger juice was the perfect drink to go with the meal; refreshing, with just the right balance of sweet and spicy. I truly enjoyed every bite and sip.

This location definitely holds its own, and I’ll be back again soon!“

“1st time visiting. The happy hour food selections was not really appealing. The burger looked like a kids meal burger and was not worth the price. The plantains was not worth the price either. The Crispy Brussel sprouts was just about the only food that was very tasty to me.
