6 Best Caribbean Restaurants near Durham

“Some of the best Jamaican food I’ve had in my entire life. I was raised on West Indian food coming from south Florida and couldn’t believe we stumbled upon this amazing food truck on a trip passing through North Carolina. We stopped at Bull City Ciderworks in Durham to try some ciders and as we were about to head out Irie Flavors pulled up. Mad at myself because this was the only picture I took but we ordered a bunch of things off the menu. My go to is always Brown Stew Chicken w/ Plantains, Rice & Peas. They had it so we had to try, it was tender and full of flavor. That was my only picture before we dug in. We also ordered a bunch of Beef Patty’s which were amazing! They were hand made, with the fresh scotch bonnet and a nice spice to them. An Order of The Oxtail which came with some Dumplings in the gravy also w/ Plantains, Rice & Peas. Order of the Jerk chicken wings. Everything was absolutely delicious. Service was pleasant and wonderful. Really can’t say enough good things about this food truck.“

“Let me tell you chef ??!!!!! My daughter was there about 2 weeks ago for a college tour. She came home telling us about Vittles at the Park. She is a picky eater and she talked about was the Cajun Catfish. Here we are 2 wks latter, with other family members and we all were thoroughly pleased with those at the front counter to everything we ate. I had the flounder combo with 2 sides (collards and candied yams). I opened up my dinner and I know I wasn’t going to finish it all because there were 3 nice size pieces of fish. I started eating before you know it all was gone. That’s how good the food was. When we’re back in town we will definitely be back & we have more family members accompanying us as well.“

“Great food Crush! 5 stars! But Crush the pimento seeds...please ♡“

“It was so good I loved it“

“If u can wait at a sit down restaurant; why not have the patience to wait for great food. Ordered the jerk wings, jerk chicken dinner, jerk shrimp with two sides and the Philly egg rolls. I’m reading theses comments and see folk just mad u had to wait. Staff was working churning out orders and I notice no one had an attitude except folk who want something quick fast in a hurry. It had a wait but I can tell you most customers were ordering at least 3 plates. Everyone was enjoying the vibe and just relax. I rather wait on my food and make sure it right. I drove by at 4:47pm on Saturday and the line was out to the boa boa lunch buffet and when I got back at 6 pm there was a line to boa boa. I will be back and hope the folk who in a hurry realize they would wait an 30 min to hour to be seated and 45 min for the food to be prepared give this establishment some grace. The reason I’m passionate about this is when I got home, I was throughly impressed with my food and ate off my families plate. I glad my wife wanted to go. I would gladly stand in line again so I can get another chance to eat.“
