22 Best Caribbean Restaurants near Woodlawn

“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!“

“The food is delicious and the portions are enormous. I got a bowl with brown stew chicken, rice n peas, and plantains. It's enough food for multiple meals (for me). I just wish I'd asked for a bit more brown gravy!“

“Great brunch. The food and service was c the best!“

“I visited Judy's Island off the recommendation of @A.I Brown. The restaurant had a nice vibe, the staff was very pleasant and accommodating, and the food was good!! I had the jerk chicken and my husband had jerk lambchops. Both were good...and we would visit again!“

“We searched for a Jamaican spot to get some food and when I tell you they did not disappoint. The food was good on the second day as well. We traveled 3 hours back home with half of our meals and the flavor was worthy of slapping someone mama not mine though. My grandprincess enjoyed her honey bbq wings and gave them the thumbs up.“

“I had the veggie stew, black rich and plaintain. All were very well seasoned. A nice portion. Very clean.Very pleasant attitudes. I wish them well. A lil music in the background and they are good.“

“Super-friendly guy behind the counter (the owner, maybe?) who asked questions about what I like and provided informed recommendations that were exactly right! Delicious teriyaki vegan “chicken”!“

“I've been going to this Caribbean spot for a long time when they were in the old market near Green St. I hadn't been in a minute, but I'm glad I did. Brother went and bought quite a bit. Ox tails were awesome. 1/2 jerk chicken mac and cheese greens plus yams was awesome. Basically, everything was delicious. Mike and his wife can throw down in the kitchen. Check it out for yourself.“

“Super excited about this new location. Somewhere tasty & delicious to order from in the Reisterstown / Owings Mills area. The jerk chicken, rice & beans, with cabbage was absolutely delicious. Service is phenomenal and Ruth is the absolute best!! Can’t wait to visit again one day soon!“

“I love the food it is so Delicious! I give them 10 Stars“

“Caribbean food is so hard to find made well in this area -- to no surprise given how far away the Caribbean is. This is the first Caribbean restaurant which I enjoyed, and I've tried most in the state I'd wager. It's homemade soul food that can be healthy (if you select the right sides😉). Pricing and value is outstanding. Unfortunately, Baltimore doesn't lend itself to the best atmosphere though, but what are you going to do 😂🙏.“

“This is the total Jamaican experience.
The chef is amazing the way he blends spices and prepares the food. Omg I love this place. Best Jamaican food ever. It's out Brooklyn and I live 45 minutes away but it is well worth the drive. I plan to visit Straight Jamdown Island Cuisine again and again. This guy loves to cook. I love Straight Jamdown Idland Cuisine.“

“I went there and ordered the jerk pork with rice and peas with steam cabbage on the side, food was one of the best I have since I've been in the states ain't gonna lie❤️❤️❤️ not to mention the interaction with the cashier I didn't get her name but she gave the best service I had “

“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.“

“Definitely enjoyed myself. Danced and ate my food. Food took a little long but I will say one thing still had a good time. Felt comfortable.“

“I had an amazing experience at Caribbean Dynasty Restaurant & Lounge! The vibrant flavors of the Caribbean dishes were absolutely delicious, and the lively atmosphere made it a perfect spot for a night out.
