39 Best Caribbean Restaurants near Merchantville

“I thoroughly enjoyed the food. You must try the Happy Happy Drunk.“

“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.“

“Bring from a Caribbean family 🇹🇹, I'm always sceptical about eating West Indian food in the US, it never taste close to my Mom's cooking. I read the reviews and gave Solange a try. Outstanding! Chicken roti with mango taste like 🇹🇹. They also have all my favorites: tamarind balls and current rolls. Next time I'm in Philly, I'm making another stop! ❤️☺️🤤😋“

“For something different, definitely give them a try. The food was excellent, and staff were friendly. Had the Jerked Chicken and will definitely be back for that and more!“

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

“Georgiana’s Caribbean Cuisine never disappoints. The food is fresh, flavorful, and packed with authentic Caribbean taste. The portions are generous, the staff is welcoming, and every meal feels homemade. If you’re looking for great Caribbean food at a fair price, this spot is definitely worth a visit.Immaculate service!!!“

“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)!“

“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.“

Las porciones: de buen tamaño. El servicio al cliente: indiscutible, muy profesional! La limpieza: se respira lo limpio! El precio: excelente! 100% RECOMENDADO Antojitos chapines is simply a piece of our beloved Guatemala 🇬🇹 in the northeast of Philadelphia, the seasoning is so authentic that it makes you go to Guatemala without leaving Philadelphia, the marinated meat is so delicious that a portion is not enough especially accompanied with those freshly made beans and tortillas, which reminded me of my grandmother!! Not to mention the delicious appetizers such as the banana and bean fillings, the dobladas of chicken, the golden fried tacos accompanied by the delicious freshly made corn atol, simply the perfect place to taste the true chapin flavor!!

“Great family setting. Nice atmosphere“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“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!!!!“

“Recently tried this place and the food is delicious. I did a make your own bowl and the broccoli was crunchy and the noodles were cooked perfectly. I wasn’t a fan of dumplings wish they were chicken but weren’t bad . Definitely recommend“

“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.“

“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“

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

“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.“

“Came here on a Friday afternoon. It wasn’t crowded at all. The cashier was very nice. I got a large curry chicken with Mac & cheese & cabbage. It was soooo much food. 3 adults & a child ate from it & we were all satisfied. The food was super super good! I will definitely be back! Lowkey my new favorite spot! I’ll take this over McDonald’s any day!“

“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. 😊“

“great service. kind professional and good authentic Jamaican products“

“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.“

“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.“

“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. 😋“

“This place is deliiiicious. I’ve only done pick up. Not sure anyone ever actually eats there. It’s encased with plastic, kinda loud from some big fans, hard to hear. But absolutely none of that matters because they have the best jerk chicken you can get in Philly (in my experience so far). I lived in Florida for a while and ate a lot of jerk chicken. And this place does it right. Glad I came in and tried it! The people are nice. I’m a repeat customer. And I have no intention of stopping.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Food was amazing definitely the best Jamaican food spot in philly. Hat off to the chef….

Macaroni cheese was the best I ever had from a Jamaican restaurant.“

“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 !“

“Yes I recommend everyone to Hotspot“

““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!”“

“We’ve been in this neighborhood for a bit and I’m so upset we haven’t been here sooner. Wowww. We got the large jerk chicken platter which comes with 2 sides. My jaw dropped when I opened the container. They know how to give you food for the price, which is a blessing with how much it can cost to eat out now a days and how some places charge so much for so little- that’s not this place. The chicken was so juicy, flavorful and tender. Collards were seasoned well and don’t get me started on the mac and cheese.. I can easily be sat in front of a whole plate of that. I wanted to call after my meal just to say thank you to whoever is in that kitchen. Thank you angels! Everyone go get yourself a platter and a yummy juice or soda. I’ll have to report back with a pic next time. Def will be ordering again! My partner is from the south too and loved it.“

“Excelente atendimento do funcionário Noel 🤩🤩“

“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“
