43 Best Caribbean Restaurants near Cherry Hill

“We will very much miss this restaurant when the entire chain closes at the beginning of April. My wife and I, as well as our friends, have enjoyed the food since the Cherry Hill restaurant first opened so many years ago. Closing the chain doesn't make sense. This place is always popular, especially at dinner time and new menu items are introduced each season. Caribbean themed restaurants are not plentiful, unlike the dozens of steak house and sports bar restaurants in the Darden's (the parent company) restaurant portfolio. I would love to reach out and shake some sense into the idiot that made the decision to close the chain, because clearly this person has no sense and or even cares. Our condolences to all the serving, cooking, and back of house staff. Good luck in your future endeavors and thanks for your years of service and great food.“

“MANNNN OH MAN! Where to start… Trappixx is an amazing place to have a family dinner, date night, solo dinner etc. The Staff are amazing, friendly and on top of everything everything was a 10/10 best Jamaican food I’ve tasted ! GREAT EATS ! Recommend that garlic shrimp with the white rice ( mouth drooling ) lol but yeah definitely check them out !“

“The waitress was wonderful…until I brought my slimy lobster to her attention. I ordered the paella which came with a split lobster and claw. The inside of the claw and tail was really mushy and slimy. The waitress didn’t attempt to fix the order. Also, an 18% gratuity is automatically added.
On another note, the empanadas (beef) were really tasty.“

“Flew Up from down south and was told I have to try this little gem in the city. I most definitely was not disappointed . The food was amazing the owners so heartwarming and kind I had curry chicken, White rice, macaroni and cheese And the candy Yams Which were perfectly cooked and tasty. My cousin ordered the chicken soup, which was such a wonderful sharing..I am back down south and I am dreaming about the food… currently looking up a flight so I can have some more.“

“Great family setting. Nice atmosphere“

“First time trying this spot. Definitely did not disappoint! Very friendly staff also! We will be back :)“

“I don’t live in Philly, but every time I come, the food is a must have for me. I love how the owner connects with all her customers and makes everyone feel like family. The food is truly a gift from God. I feel like I become a better man every time I eat her food.“

“Yes, I wish I had taken a picture of my breakfast—saltfish and callaloo with fried dumplings (guilt snack—saltfish fritters). But that morning, I was rushing to work remotely. Their food is one of the dishes closest to my mom's breakfast. Guess what? I'm back from Rochester. My closest friend lives in Philly—huge advantage! Heeeyyy I'm back!! I'll order some breakfast dishes (maybe dinner dishes)!“

“Just ate there food was amazing ! Lalo first time I had it fantastically made. Rice was on point. 5 star“

“Walked in as I was craving Spanish food. Everything order was delicious and flavorful unfortunately they didn’t give me my salad that I paid extra for. However, everything else was 10.

When you walk in, you’ll have an option to order your food on screen and pay or you can order at the counter with the lady. Even if you’re not signing in, they will give you the option to tip. I personally don’t get that but a lot of restaurants do it nowadays..
Food was ready all they had to do was serve it. I waited a few extra minutes cause they fried my plantains fresh.“

“City Wide responded promptly to my repair request. Honest reasonable work. Very knowledgeable about gates and gate repair.“

“HIGHLY recommend, this is the BEST spot when you’re craving Caribbean! I’m in here every Friday getting my usual. Thankful for pepper steak and oxtail. Customer service is extraordinary!! Thank you all for always taking care of me!“

“Yesterday I got the Oxtails, rice & peas, mac & cheese and steamed cabbage. Every bit of it was delicious!!! the good there never disappoints! Kudos to the chef!!! Irie!!!!“

“My Brother took Me there, 10/12/2025. Im a Chef, and this establishment!!!! Five Star, the Turkey Wings, Full of Flavor. Collard Greens, seasoned just right and Mac & Cheese was awesome. Definitely get the Strawberry Banana Pudding. This is My ew Spot.“

“I mean the spot of down the way, it's a carry out only spot. But the food is A1!!! Fish is made to order so be ready to spend 20 min but everything else is pick up. 12$ platters are top notch. Recommend the jerk chicken n Mac. Platter big enough to feed two!!!“

“Today’s my 2nd time eating there. There’s a young lady who get the orders while the other does the cashier thingy. I appreciate the young lady who serves, she’s very pleasant both times I was there. She deserves a tip. I didn’t care for potato salad and cabbage with the added frozen vegetables, I’m so happy not to have that the first time, and I’ll order again if they don’t add that. Those items are great by themselves. Thank you!“

“Food was fye. I had the jerk chicken egg rolls and honey wings. It took 30 minutes for me to get the food. I went right before closing so that may have been why. The cashier helped me figure out what was good since I’m visiting from Memphis.“

“Easily the best oxtails I’ve had & you can’t beat the price point. The food is so delicious time and time again. I consistently order on DoorDash and delivery is always fast. The food is fresh and they’ve never let me down. I want to try other options one day, but the oxtails got me hooked.“

“Found this treasure place when I was looking for Dominican/ Mexican food for lunch at work. Really really good slow cook ribs. I really want to know how they seasoned it even there might be some recipes online. When you chewing the chicharrones the juice/fat just come out and it taste really really good.Ribs/ chicharrones(crispy slow cook pork belly), rice and beans, salad, and maduros(sweet fried plantains) for $13.Do not go to Applebees, TGI Fridays, McDonald’s, meals from local tea like this gives you better and healthier choices, and they deserved more customers.Part of ribs and chicharrones(the part doesn’t include much fat) became too hard/too dry to eat after long time cook, some of them are not eatable anymore since it’s too hard. There should be a way to avoid this problem. As I know the Cantonese type Chinese BBQ restaurant has slow cook ribs and crispy pork belly too (with different seasoning of course) , but theirs doesn’t have this problem, and pork belly are perfectly brown. I don’t know how they do it. Maybe cover meat with aluminum paper and be more accurate at the timing and temperature by cooking them not as long as Latin chicharrones(chicharrones taste harder/crispier). If you try pork belly from both restaurants you will know what I meant“

“I ordered a large oxtail platter with cabbage, yams rice & beans. My yams were very hairy like they were canned yams. I usually order mac & cheese instead. The rest was pretty good it just seems like every visit the oxtail become less & less (stingy).“

“I love this place it’s take out!
The lady at the counter was friendly and courteous. She made my plate exactly as I instructed. Food was great! Meat tender rice has that flavor I was looking for cabbage yess yess was absolutely good.“

“First time at this restaurant...Food was on point definitely be back soon..“

“Excelente atendimento do funcionário Noel 🤩🤩“

“OMG They have AWESOME Oxtail. I went to this Jamaican restaurant for lunch and I ordered macaroni and cheese and corn bread and I noticed they had oxtail on their menu and I told they lady who worked there that I never had oxtail and I was told by my family and friends that oxtail is so good so the the lady asked if I wanted to order a platter I said no because I already brought fried chicken and I just want the Mac and cheese and corn bread to eat with my chicken so she was kind enough to ask me if I wanted to sample the oxtail and I said yes she then hand me a small cup with oxtail and gravy. OMG that oxtail was tender and falling off the bone. It tasted like beef stew and the gravy was AWESOME so awesome that I was licking the gravy off my fingers. I will definitely be ordering a oxtail platter from this restaurant in the near future. 😋“

“Well, this place is not extravagant is not fancy BUT it carries so much flavor. We bought the jerk chicken, it you cant handle spicy food( like me), grab your cup of milk. We wasn't expecting the level of spiciness but it was good punch. My favorite items was the oxtail, flavorful, falling of the bone, juicy, well seasoned. The rice had a sweetness that I couldn't identify but it was a good balance for the spicy chicken. Parking is awful. Is very close to an intersection and difficult to find a spot. So go with someone that can drive around if you are picking up. Customer service was just OK. Definitely going back for that oxtail.“

“Food was amazing definitely the best Jamaican food spot in philly. Hat off to the chef….
family enjoy the food will be back for sure!!!
Customer service was amazing …
10/10 highly recommend!!!!
Macaroni cheese was the best I ever had from a Jamaican restaurant.“

““I visited Aamir’s Halal Gyro and had a great experience. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The Special Lamb Gyro was incredibly juicy, fresh, and full of flavor. I really enjoyed every bite. The ice cream was also amazing and tasted delicious. The food quality and customer service were excellent. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for tasty halal food. I will definitely be coming back!”“

“I have been going the this Restaurant for years now and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon. This is a great chill spot on the weekends and week days for lunch and dinner .However after dinner the dancing starts and it is everything safe and fun for a party with great drinks and great food and chill people. 😊“

“Wow, I had tried the jerk chicken over white rice with a side of mac and cheese and yams with an additional side of cabbage and my oh my from the first bite in the car to the excitement on the way home ! It smelled amazing and tasted even better! Everything was cooked perfectly, seasoned spot on.. loved the environment as well very friendly people! Will be back for sure 100/10“

“The Ultimate Feast with oxtail, jerk chicken, curry chicken and 3 sides is a well prepared-and well-priced meal. The staff are friendly and patiently answer food-related questions.“

“Good food will be back to try the rest of the menu . Best jerk chicken coming from Philly“

“I just finished eating at my job. You guys catered to c Cinnaminson and Walmart and the food is always delicious. ❤️❤️“

“Yes I recommend everyone to Hotspot“

“So I got the Grilled Steak and rice and beans with salad and guacamole the steak was so juicy tender and the flavor was amazing this is a amazing restaurant and I will be back the staff is respectful and the restaurant is clean the food is cooked fresh right in front of you no complaints“

“The food was definitely official my 1st time coming but the prices and how the charge extra for different sides was a little outta pocket. I got oxtail, mac n cheese, yams. I was charge for yams and Mac extra. The Mac was definitely homemade.Customer Service was horrible, the light skin lady very rude I ask 2 questions she kept saying do you want the food or not. I said yes twice. There's too many jamaican spots or food spots for that to be treated rude.“

“At the first moment you step in that place the personel give you a pleasant feeling. Very hospitable hosts, it is a good place to go out with your friends or with your date. Great food, talented chef, comfortable cost and generous service. Warmly recommended.“

“great authentic Jamaican food“

“I wish I could eat at Island Taste everyday! The food is delicious and takes me right back to Jamaica because of the authentic taste of the food! The prices are also reasonable compared to other Caribbean restaurants in Philadelphia. Keep up the great work Island Taste!“

“Got the Oxtail w/ rice+peas and candied yams as takeout.
Oxtail was fall off the bone, rice was flavorful, candied yams were perfectly spiced. My friend got chicken curry and that was super yummy too!
Gentleman at the counter was also friendly.
Seating seemed crowded, but I can def recommend this place as a good spot for takeout.

They were out of patties, but I'll def be back to try that and the coco bread!“
