12 Best Caribbean Restaurants near Jessup

“Great food, great atmosphere! The owner Eduardo is a very generous and welcoming host. I asked for his recommendation and he delivered a wonderful meal of beef stew, rice, and salad - i didn't even look at the menu! Turns out his wife prepares all the seasoning blends by hand for each dish, and the beans are naturally grown locally. Wonderful find, I'll be back next time I'm in town!“

“This is the BEST food I've had from any Caribbean style food spot in YEARS! When I heard the music and saw who was behind the counter I had a feeling I was in the right spot!!! Shout out to the Chef!!!! Everything is Delicious! The Rice and Peas, Cabbage, Plantains, Oxtails, and Curry chicken was EXCELLENT!!“

“Last Friday I just saw that it is opened! Enjoyed our first visit. We beat the late crowd. Service is sort of like Chipotle or Panda Express lines. Fast and easy. Good tasty! We got jerk Chicken bowls with veggies and plantains. Traditional rum cake I could really taste the rum with a more alcohol taste, not like the rum candy. Kids probably won’t like the rum cakes. But I still recommend this place and plan to visit again.“

“I ordered the Curry Chicken, rice and peas with plantains and I was pleasantly surprised at how DELICIOUS the food was. Everything was fresh, hot, tasty and so full of authentic Jamaican flavor. The food was Excellent, it was so good I could not stop eating. I have not had Jamaican food this good in many years! I have definitely found a gem and will be visiting or ordering often. I highly recommend D&D Caribbean Kitchen, you will not be disappointed. Thank you D&D, you guys set the bar high. My rating is 100 Stars ?“

“WoahThat's my review... woah. I gave the Atmosphere 4 stars because it is tucked away behind a business park. I saw that the ratings here were good and drove through to try it. But wow, it's 20 minutes before the lunch close (Arrived at 1:40pm) and wasn't sure what I was getting into. The place is packed. That speaks for itself, 20 minutes before lunch close. The first thing that happened as we walked through the door was that we were greeted by the owner. He later went on to ensuring my food was brought out asap, as he saw my lunch buddy was already eating. He was doing this for all the guests that had any sort of wait.But then... the 'woah'. I love caribbean food. I do, I love oxtail, I love rice and beans, I love stewed chicken... but damn if this wasn't the best darn caribbean food I have ever had. I stole a fry from my buddy, great fry. But then I got my food and tried the stewed chicken... the flavors... the mac and cheese side... wow, that might be the best mac and cheese I've ever had. I could only get through half of it before the itis kicks in, but that's fine, I wanted to bring this home so my family could taste it.I overheard they are making a juice bar, the no sugar added kind. Owner was super friendly and chatted us up. But hot damn, that food.. was.. woah. It actually makes the fact that it's tucked away in the back of a business park that much better... it made it a hole in the wall, a diamond in the rough, a gem.Will be back.“

“Jerk chicken 10/10Brown stew chicken 9.5/10Beef patty 8.9/10Ive tried from many Jamaican restaurants and this is by far the best one for my liking. Flavor of Jerk chicken was out of this world. Packed with spices and flavors. Perfectly seasoned. I will try their curry chicken and oxtail next time.“

“We have been waiting to try this restaurant while construction took place. Food was great, we both had the jerk chicken with the mixed vegetables and plantains. Portions are large for the $. We both really enjoyed our meal. Couldn't leave without getting a spicy beef patty! They were also excellent reminded me of My times in Jamaica. Atmosphere is great, staff is very friendly. I suggest stopping in to give it a try you will not be dissatisfied. Help support our local small business! Definitely a hidden gem.“

“So me and my friend wanted to try some Caribbean food and he told me about this place. The rice was really good, and the browns to chicken was really good. I didn't like the Jamaican version of collard greens. And if you grew up eating Stouffer's Mac and cheese then you know that that mac and cheese is Stouffer's. But I love Stouffer's ?. But also if I'm ordering from a Jamaican restaurant I don't want freezer macaroni and cheese. Other than that the food was great. Amazing Coco bread ?“

“Went there twice. Both times it was nice and clean. The lady who served me was polite and responsive to my request. I particularly didn't like the type of rice used to cook the rice and peas. It was cooked and Shelly. Just Not sure if was paraboil or what. Just would have preferred another rice (jasmine/basmati/ or a short grain rice) that would have provide more flavor. ?“

“I am a type 2 diabetic. I have a love/hate relationship with food. Finding something that won't spike my blood sugar super high is often difficult and frustrating. I chose the garlic chili salmon, a house salad and a jerk chicken meat only dish (for dinner).First of all, the garlic chili salmon was absolutely delicious. It was packed with flavor, not too spicy and not too sweet; the garlic and chili blend were perfect. My salad was fresh and packed with colorful vegetables such as grape tomatoes, red onion, romaine lettuce and shredded cheese.After about two hours from eating this delicious lunch, my blood sugar still remained within range. My meal was hearty, filling, flavorful and medically compliant. I am happy to say I will be returning.“

“Went to see One Love but wanted to have a full island experience for lunch beforehand. This restaurant was perfect! We met the owner when we ordered and she helped us select dishes that met each our tastes. The food was delicious and was just like being back in the Caribbean. Lots of food with the main dish and the flavors were to die for. The atmosphere was exactly what you would expect to see in any local establishment in the islands. Utterly wonderful experience.“
