14 Best Caribbean Restaurants near Portsmouth

“The best around. Goat is excellent. Chicken is excellent. When we are delivering in the area we get excited because we know what's for lunch. When I'm in a 20 mile radius I will always stop by for the best food around. Portions are excellent and prices are fair“

“Food was great, no notes. Ordered a 3 meals: 1 curry chicken snack with mac, 1 small curry chicken meal with Mac and green beans, and 1 small jerk with rice and peas and green beans. We arrived later in the day so they were out of a few sides but we enjoyed our meals. They also gave us some chicken soup.

Ordered at the bar and waited for them to call our name. Portion sizes were very generous. My family agreed we would definitely eat here again.“

“This small grocery store has a surprisingly large and welcoming atmosphere, offering both takeout and dine-in options. It's my go-to place for hard-to-find Spanish and West Indian ingredients, including spices, vegetables, and canned goods that the larger supermarkets often lack. I also appreciate their buffet featuring a delicious blend of American and West Indian cuisine. I always make sure to grab a bag of their flavorful beef patties and coco bread before I leave.“

“I jerk, chicken eggrolls, very nice atmosphere. On Wednesday nights karaoke service was great.“

“Our new favorite seafood spot. Absolutely delicious! 😋“

“Very polite staff. Very clean establishment. Fast service. Very loving environment.“

“I drive all the way from Norfolk and honestly, this isn’t even my first time — I come here a lot! FruitSplash Factory never misses. Every time I walk in, the customer service is warm, friendly, and consistent, and the food is always fresh and full of flavor.

The drinks are amazing, the food stays top-tier, and the quality never changes no matter when I come. I love that they really take their time with everything they make — you can taste the care in every order.

This has definitely become one of my go-to spots, and I’ll keep making the drive because it’s always worth it. Highly recommend! 💕“

“Food was amazing. Staff was very polite and friendly, great. Vast all around the board, this Is a place that I would let my family know about? And I will be revisiting this place before I leave and go back home to Washington State. Thank you so much, 876 flava for the amazing food.“

“the food was very flavorful and hot when it arrived but the dark chicken was too small. I wish I could include a picture but I don't see that option. I ordered the dark meat jerk BBQ with cabbage and rice“

“I'm so glad I found this place! The food is amazing - hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The rice and peas, oxtail, and cocoa bread are a must-try. Reminds me of home! The owners and staff are super friendly and attentive. Great service all around. If you're in the mood for delicious Jamaican food, definitely check this place out! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thanks Bobby.“

“Very nice portion size. The plantain were perfect and the rice and peas were soft and nice with plenty of gravy. Curry chicken was delicious. Unfortunately people aren't buying local drinks, so they did not have any currently. I hope they find a way to bring back the sorrel juice or maybe add homemade ginger beer. The best food comes from the smallest places that are reasonably priced and they focus on the food. Very clean dining area.“

“Just don't use online ordering. Never works and end up making food after you waited and get to the restaurant.“

“My daughter brought me for a birthday brunch surprise. This was my first time here. I love the atmosphere, nice music played, relevant program on TV. The food and drinks were reasonably priced. Our server was polite, knowledgeable and efficient. My granddaughter loves their homemade macaroni and cheese.
I had a wonderful time and I'll come back again.“

“Shout out to Yummo Bucko! A party of 4 we all spent close to $100, please know a 15% gratutity is added to each person no matter the size of group. This place will fill up fast (small and quaint), opens at noon on Sunday. I checked online to see if reservations could be set up and didnt see where that was an option, upon entering we were asked if we had a reservation. Even though we didnt we were told to select wherever we wanted to sit.

Food ordered: Sampler - grits where stiff and saudage links appeared and tasted as if straight out of (brown & serve box)

Fried shrimp - seasoned well and fried perfect

Eggs Benedict (2x) - one with fried, one scrambled it comes with two crab cakes and 2 lamb chops (lamb chops were supposed to be grilled medium well. Lamb chops was a new born baby lamb chop and so tough to bite)

Side order of original French Toast - ( one piece of bread cut in half $6.00)

Lamb chop brunch meal - comes with 3 lamb chops, smothered in brown gravy (I missed that part on the menu, I just wanted med well grilled lamb chops which came out the same as above. The menu stated mashed potates came with; however received cheesy grits with lobster meat. NO on the grits and the lobster was OK).

Lemon Pepper wings to go - brought order out and gave to the wrong person with no bag, just plopped down and walked away.

4 Mimosas which was ok.

Will we try this place again??? - Possibly on another day, just not BRUNCH.“
