My family decided to visit Caribbean Deck Cafe while we were vacationing in the Poconos. From the moment we walked in, Shaine treated us like family! He allowed us to taste test a few dishes and we enjoyed talking to him about all kinds of things. As for the food itself, it felt like we were at Shaine's backyard barbeque! He kept piling it on and the portions were huge! We tried the curry goat (my favorite, though everything could arguably be considered a favorite!), the oxtail, stew chicken, and jerk chicken - each dish was full of flavor, hot/fresh, and oh so satisfying! The curry goat was seasoned to perfection, the oxtail was meaty and tasty, the stew chicken meat was fall-off-the-bone (see photo), and the spicy homemade jerk sauce was out of this world! Anytime we go to the Poconos, we plan on being back here for sure. The sides consisted of plantains and cabbage, and both paired very well with each meal. Rice options are rice and peas or white rice (rice was delicious). We dined in and appreciated the large plates and overall attentive experience. After our meal, Shaine hooked us up with sweet potato pudding and Hennessy cake on the house! And I must say: Both hit the spot! The sweet potato pudding was like a slice of sweet potato pie with pudding consistency - it was hot and sweet, and it was exactly what I needed after the amazing meal. Hennessy cake gave me rum cake vibes (note: I don't drink alcohol and am far from a connoisseur) and it was also great! We want to thank Shaine for really going above and beyond to take care of our family. The Poconos community is blessed to have him and Caribbean Deck Cafe! Every 5-Star Review is well-earned/well-deserved, and you will NOT regret visiting. Very highly recommended!!!

Lawddddd! Worlds cannot describe how scrum-dilly-umptious this food is. I went on a Friday afternoon so there was no line or wait. The servicing size on the large plate is good enough for two people and worth the money. If you’re at the outlets or just in the mood for some real Caribbean food, this is a MUST!

Over priced. $14 for a small jerk chicken rice and peas? Come on now. This is a truck, not a 4 star restaurant! The small size should cost 7-9$

Shane’s hospitality is unlike any other! You will not find another business owner that put this amount of love and care into his vision. This man is GOAT (greatest of all time) & HIS CURRY GOAT IS INSANE!!There was so much warmth and kindness in his soul. The lengths he went to make sure we enjoyed our experience was more than we could ever ask for or expect.If you find yourself in Poconos looking for flavors that are more exciting that what’s normally offered. Please give Shane a visit and if you have time get to learn his story. You will be shocked and amazed to see what an amazing soul he is after all the trials and tribulations he has gone through to make his dreams come through!!We love you Shane!!

Incredible food. We came in real late, most food takes hours to make, so your options are what hasn’t been taken, and a few of the favorites were gone. But the manager was really nice and gave us a free taste of what was left for the meat Pattys and ox tail on top of our meals. It was the best!
