“Amazing food! So glad I picked this place to try because everything was delicious. The jerk chicken, plantains, cabbage and rice mmmmm. 5 stars! I do however suggest that the page update its hours of operation. good says 1pm and the website and Facebook page say 11am. Didn't open until a little after 1pm. Another suggestion would be not to charge for the use of cards, especially during a pandemic, but either way I will sure be ordering again.“
“Irie Eats is a small family owned Jamaica inspired restaurant located in Uptown St. Louis, Missouri. This was the first time my wife and I had eaten at this establishment, and from the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed. They had Reggae music playing just loud enough to set chill vibes' atmosphere.The restaurant isn't that big, so a party of 10 or more would make the place seem crowded. My wife tried their Ox Tails, and I tried the Curry Goat, which all entries there comes with a side of rice and beans and cabbage. I must say, in my opinion, the cabbage was a miss for me and my wife. It seemed to be lacking seasoning to make it flavorful. The rice and beans would have also had some seasoning issues as well, but their saving grace was that I added them to my curry goat broth, and it brought them to life.The highlight of my meal was the curry goat, as was the ox tails for my wife. They both were well seasoned and savory. I made my own stereotype assumptions thinking that all Jamaican food was prepared spicy and had my mouth ready for a Caribbean spice punch that never happened. When asked, I was told that you have to let them know that you want it spicy, and they'll make the adjustment for you.Overall, the meal was just ok, being that the sides fell short of complimenting the main meal. I do feel that the price was a little on the high side at about $20 for my goat plate and around $24 for my wife's ox tail plate ??♂️. If we do go back, I would definitely like to retry the meal with a little spice added to see how it would bring the plate to life.Parking: Side of building parking is very limited and tight. I would avoid going in a big SUV or pickup truck if possible. There is only one way in, so you have to drive down a small hill and through the back of the buildings to get out and back to the main road.“
“My boyfriend and I stopped by after church, and we both enjoyed it. We did the 3-meat and 2 side $12 special. I had the curried chicken, jerk chicken, pork steak rice and beans, macaroni, and yams. He had the same but with ribs instead of pork steak and had their cabbage and greens picture. The pork steak and ribs won’t be repurchased but everything else was spectacular! The workers were nice and offered samples and explanations of what everything was. We will be back!“
“The staff was curteous with allowing me to sample their product...really impressed with the food and service thus will patronize them again in the near future--and the oxtails were extremely tender oh the collard greens yum yummy sweet delicious.“
“Upon my inaugural visit to the Caribbean Delight establishment nestled in the vibrant yet challenging environs of Saint Louis's south side, I embarked upon a culinary journey that one might say was as audacious as it was delectable. The moment my palate encountered their rendition of jerk chicken, a symphony of flavors enveloped my senses with a crescendo of smoky warmth, punctuated by a harmonious blend of spices that danced upon my tongue.The succulent meat (mind the bones), painstakingly imbued with the essence of allspice, scotch bonnet peppers, and thyme, transported me to the sun-soaked shores of the islands.Though the geographical context added a certain frisson to the experience, the culinary prowess of Caribbean Delight proved triumphant, transcending the locale and bestowing upon my discerning palate a remarkable gustatory voyage.Delicious pineapple soda as well! Bravo Caribbean Delight! ❤️?“
