17 Best Caribbean Restaurants in Mt Vernon

“fine dining at its best 👌“

“The food is always fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. My favorite dish is the steamed snapper,it’s consistently delicious and one of the best I’ve had. The tacos are also excellent and definitely worth ordering.

The service is friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere makes it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. If you’re looking for fresh Caribbean-inspired food with great quality and consistency, I highly recommend giving Ripe Kitchen & Bar a try.“

“If you like authentic Jamaican food with real spices, pepper and all that, this is the place to go. It’s very clean and well maintained. Thank you Bishop Lynne Middleton for introducing me to this amazing restaurant. Yes the food was delicious! I don’t normally eat outside fried chicken but I decided to give it try with rice & peas with oxtail gravy, callaloo. I enjoyed the meal for 2 days. Even my friend who ordered oxtail, she was raving about it as well. She said, “I should’ve ordered 3 more meals.” I’ll be returning there very soon with another friend who likes authentic Jamaican food. 🍱 However, improvement is needed via the phone line, it can be quite challenging.“

“Very good food, drinks (descent) and atmosphere. The owners are friendly and will accommodate you as much as possible. I remember my very first time going there it was my 2018 2nd Masters Graduation celebration. The owner surprised me with a nice setting with tables and covered chairs, great lighting and the aviance was breathtaking. My guest, family and I thought it was quite impressive. The prices are reasonable as well.“

“I visited this place twice and enjoyed the food on both occasions. On my first visit, I had the rice and peas and jerk chicken, which was solid. On my second visit, I tried the rice and peas and kingfish, which was also good. However, the price of the kingfish seemed a bit high for the portion size.

Macaroni looks appealing, but it wasn’t very good. I wouldn’t recommend it.

Dumplings are good.

I will be back when in the area. I want to try their breakfast menu.“

“Everyone wants a great service and a taste to remember meal that is worth it. This restaurant goes above their pleasant smiles and warm welcome during their customers interaction. They serve the food with pride always serving portion above the rest. This restaurant is top notch and continuously contribute to our sense of community.“

“"While the food was flavorful and the atmosphere was good, my experience with the owner was disappointing and raised questions about the establishment's integrity because he charged me $40.00 for hookah when it was only 20.00.“

“Had JerkQ’zine cater the cocktail hour of my wedding this past weekend on 10.10.2020. I ordered many small bites including cocktail patties, assorted surprise dumpling bites, and fritters. I did not get to sample the bites as they were all thoroughly enjoyed by my guests! Contact information was also provided to many who asked. Thank you Jerk Q’zine for making my day successful! #jerkq’zine“

“Delicious homemade food!!“

“Great food but terrible customer service I absolutely love your restaurant the food is amazing! But honestly, some of your staff could really use hospitality training. There’s no reason I should be leaving upset just because an employee didn’t want to serve me over something as small as extra gravy. Without customers, there wouldn’t even be a business, so the service needs to reflect that.“

“Definitely a great way to represent culture by way of the stomach!! Anyone who can appreciate delicious homestyle West Indian food should come here!“

“Its rare to go to a jamaican restaurant and they have a full comprehensive menu with all items available 7 days a week. In most places they only serve certain items on certain days. Everything is available everyday here. And the taste is top notch. From now on, I will come here everytime I'm in NYC.“

“Just Jerk is amazing. The food is packed with flavor, especially the jerk chicken which is perfectly seasoned and juicy. The sides are fresh and delicious, and the portions are generous. Great vibes, great service, and authentic Caribbean taste every time. Definitely a favorite. 🔥“

“There is no atmosphere to rate, the service is hit or miss. They can have a bit of an attitude. Normally the oxtail are out of this world good, but lately they have been a bit off. The last plate I got they were so fatty that I barely got any bites of just the meat. Meh.“
