I will start by saying that this place is now serving dog food. The food was absolutely disgusting - everything was hard, dry, and burnt, including the cake! Absolutely zero "F's" were given in the food preparation. The textures were appalling, as if the food had been scorched and then left out for hours before serving. The only remotely edible thing was the cold, burnt plantains, but even those were barely tolerable. I kept biting into gritty bits that I couldn't even identify as food, which made me seriously question the safety of what I was eating. If I had access to a lab, I would submit it to see what I'd [really] been served. I ended up throwing my entire meal in the garbage. To top it off, they've changed the name of the place, which just raises even more red flags. I can't help but wonder why they felt the need to do that. It's a waste of money, time, hope and food to ever go here. They disrespected the life of the poor chicken who died for this wretched soot seasoned, curry chicken slop. If my husband or anyone suggested this place I would seriously consider throwing hands. It doesn't matter what they are calling it now. Do yourself a favor and stay far, far away from this place. read more

Disgusting! The pattys were burnt! I ordered the jerk chicken wrap with rasta pasta and the food was horrible. I would never order from here again! I ordered to complain and they said they would redeliver the patties and never did. Soooo disappointing. read more

I really love this place and try to get here as often as I can. The food is so amazing and so full of flavor! There are many options to choose from as well, with something for everyone. The curried options are my favorite...chicken and goat. The oxtails are also a hit, as well as the chicken wings with curried jerk sauce. The staff is great with taking your order and describing the available options. The owner is also a great person, making sure you have a great experience. The restaurant is located at the far end of the Food Lion shopping plaza. Plenty of available parking in the plaza. Inside the restaurant, there is a very cool Caribbean decor which makes you feel like you are in the islands. If you are looking for great, authentic Caribbean food, go to Antonny's! read more

Imagine going to a Chinese restaurant in the pouring rain and seeing a Carribbean restaurant right next door to a side that you almost tripped over. Well that's exactly what happened. I walked in and looked at the menu and fell upon the fish dish. The waitress told me or would be 25 minutes for my dish and I told her that's fine... I will wait. Even the chef yelled from the kitchen did you tell them it would be 25 minutes. I yelled back she sure did Chef...so make it worthy of Yelp and the Gram. Man on Man was this dish worth it. Of a picture is worth a thousand words... I can stop writing my review now and just say LOOK AT THIS YA"LL read more

Anntony's Caribbean Cafe - Caribbean Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

This place is delicious! The few times I've been it hasn't been busy. The food is always cooked to order. They have a stuffed flounder that takes 20 mins to cook, but worth the wait! read more

Amazing food! Loved the ambience and service too. Will surely look forward to going back there.

I'm not out here, trying to change the world. I don't have to. Anntony's has that covered. Listen, if you like wings, YOU NEED THESE WINGS. All the sides slap-a-dap-dap, but the coleslaw and fried okra will take you on an existential culinary journey. Best wings in the QC read more

Great food, great prices, and location isn't hard to find! You get a lot of bang for your buck.

I ordered stew chicken and the chicken had lots of bones. The portion sizes were small compared to the cost $15. The rice was probably the best part but the visual appearance of the food wasn't the best. My plantains were dry and not recommended. read more

I ordered take out, when I arrived the food was ready and packaged nicely. The transaction was smooth and everybody moved quickly. I wasn't a fan of the furry chicken not sure what was different but it wasn't to my liking. Next time I will try something different. read more

First time customer. Overall, place was clean and colorful, staff was friendly, but food was average and salty. I tried the grilled fish sandwich and the taste was actually pretty good. I couldn't tell what the sauce was made of but it complimented the fish really well... however, the fish was a really thin piece of tilapia about 2"x5". The beef Jamaican patty was great and what I was expecting in terms of taste... but the fact that I can buy a golden krust package for less and have a bigger patty is not ok. The last item I bought is the chicken roti wrap... the dish was very basic as it only had chicken, potatoes, and curry inside a roti slide.. sort of... taste was good but the bones were all still in the chicken, it had too much liquid, and it was way too salty. Not close to the typical Surinamese dish. Maybe this is how they make it in other countries? I don't know. I'm glad I checked out the place but I don't think I will be going back. read more

Amazing flavor for the food, with prompt and courteous service. Fun and inviting atmosphere!

First time there. Jamaican pattys, wings and Rasta pasta. All were great. Will go back just to eat these again!

On this trip I tried the rotisserie chicken, cornbread & black eyes peas and rice. The white meat chicken was cooked perfectly! It was extremely tender and full of seasoned juices. The skin was soft and dripped of the tangy yet spicy sauce all throughout. Not too much; but enough to chase the meat with. The peas and rice had an incredible heat to them! Not in temperature; but in spice. They played well with the tangyness from the sauce. The cornbread was not a hit to me. I'm accustomed to sweet moist cornbread; and this was a little more stiff without the sweetness. Overall the meal was very satisfying!! My family enjoyed it. read more

Anntony's Caribbean Cafe - This is the rotisserie chicken, black eyed peas and rice and cornbread. - Caribbean Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Some of the locations have fallen off tremendously, but this location has seemingly stayed on point. Reasonably priced whole chickens and other great options. They have some meat pies, but other than that I wouldn't call this place traditional other than that. Kind of Americanized. Still great food though. I havn't gotten anything besides a whole chicken in quite some time, because its just cheap, easy and feeds a lot of people. Give them a shot, there aren't too many other decent options in the area. read more

I'm not exaggerating when I say this, but the food almost killed me today. I'm deathly allergic to fish. I found a hard, brown piece of food stuck to my jerk wings. I ripped it off. Upon inspecting it, not only did it not look like chicken, but it STRONGLY smelt of fish. Genuinely, I haven't been this flabbergasted in years. I haven't had a bad reaction to seafood since I was a child and was subsequently tested for it, so if I would've continued eating the chicken, I would have a hefty hospital bill. Notwithstanding, the rest of the food was a travesty. The mac and cheese was very bland and had large chunks of onions, the cabbage wasn't that great because there wasn't a lot of juice, the cornbread and the chicken patty were soggy and looked undercooked (also, what is it with this place never filling up the patties all the way? They're always flat and look sad. I'm Jamaican, fill those patties to the brim!). And finally, the plantains my mom and I shared. They were dry, hard, and not very flavorful. According to my mom, she didn't like her food either. She found a twig of some sort in her greens (no I'm not exaggerating, it was in fact a small twig. I guess she knows more about struggle foods than I do, because according to her, the greens tasted like they were straight out of a can.). She also didn't like the seafood she had--shrimp, scallops, and some sort of fish?--from what I saw, it was very greasy and there was more breading than seafood. She literally picked all of the breading off. It also smelt terrible too. Yeah, this place used to be really good when my mom and I first moved near Charlotte in 2016. Nowadays, the food is...abhorrent? Mediocre? Disrespectful? Today sealed the deal for this being the last time I have food from this establishment. This was pure laziness and very negligent. And now I'm on high alert for the next few hours for if my throat closes up, so thanks. read more

OMG!!!! After searching grub hub for something different but taking caution because I've been down this road trying something new and was completely pissed for trying to step outside of my comfort zone,but my god i've found a new fav.The succulent ribs are delicious,The rasta pasta wasn't what i expected but still good,The cabbage was ok.( didnt care for the vinegar taste) and the portion was just a spoonful but overall great place to eat.I will definitely order again read more

I was hoping to find some great rice and peas, cabbage and oxtails here. The food was mediocre. The oxtails weren't bad but they weren't good either. The rice and peas were not good and the cabbage was not fresh. I will definitely try a different restaurant when I have a taste for oxtails and rice and peas. read more

Great food! Jerk chicken is pretty good! They actually make their own jerk sauce too. Coco bread and beef patty is on point. Rice and peas is great too! Will definitely be back! Day 2: I made good on my promise, it was soo damn good!! This place is a gem y'all definitely missing out! read more

I love their cakes! Seriously, try a piece. The coconut cake is my absolute favorite! Itried the Caribbean jerk wings, crab cakes and plantains. The plantains are the perfect crunch, and soft texture. They were cooked to perfection. The wings have great flavor and the crab cakes are delicious! They are a bit spicy but there is a sauce you can add to them that cools the spice a bit. The crab cakes are worth trying. The customer service generally is great, however the day iwent, there was a guy that took my order that seemed attitudinal. Food was great, still, so that's why they'll get 5 stars from me- guess he was having an off day. The owner has came out and talked to me before so generally iknow the customer service experience to expect. Still worth checking out this hidden gem, if you're in Charlotte,NC. read more

This place is wonderful! I've been on multiple occasions and tried different items from their menu and all of them have been great! The decor is a Caribbean Theme with a hand painted mural on the wall (see one of the attached pictures). You come in and seat yourself and a moment or two someone brings you a menu (I've never had to wait extra long for service...even when it's packed). The place is casual and they play Caribbean music sometimes but I have yet to hear anyone who actually works there or cooks the food have a Caribbean accent....who cares the food is excellent. My favorites are their crab cakes. You can get these as an appetizer and they come out over Red Leaf Lettuce with a vinegar sauce sprinkled on top. Succulent, fresh, full of flavor and the Caribbean tarter sauce that accompanies them parallel to the flavor. You can buy this sauce to take home also...I bought some to serve with some crabs cakes I was making for our seafood Christmas. The last time I choose to order the Crab Cake Sandwich, with Calypso Collard Greens, and Rasta Pasta. The Calypso Greens have sauteed garlic and onions mixed in with a mild spicy vinegar taste added. The Rasta Pasta is noodles with cabbage and carrots added. Everything was good (see the attached picture) and I ate everything! They also have great Beef Patties, Wings, and Rotisserie Chicken. You can find a coupon for them in the yearly coupon book letting you get a meal free when you purchase one. So if you want to try them out and not fork over a lot of cash then use this coupon but I'm telling you that you will not be disappointed. One of the best Caribbean cafes here in Charlotte! read more

A friend took me to Anntony's in the distant past but at that time, the food was just so-so so when my date suggested we go again, I was only a little excited. One time should not make or break a place so we went. Upon arrival we were seated and our drink order taken. Our waitress was very pleasant and efficient. There was music playing at a comfortable level and the establishment was clean and colorful. Both my date and I ordered Ox Tails, Cabbage, Rice and peas and it was served with Corn Bread. Our food arrived within minutes of being ordered. The food was so fast, it was if they were waiting for our arrival which was a pleasant surprise and very rare in the restaurant industry. Unfortunately, I don't like spicy food so the cabbage was not to my liking. The ox tails although tender in consistency, they did not have a lot of flavor so I would not have known what I was eating had I closed my eyes. The food was fine, but just not exciting even for this second visit. read more

We ordered take out, the entire process felt rushed. The cabbage was mediocre plain no Jamaican flava, greens tasted like they hadn't been washed or fresh out a can...kinda gritty!! My husband enjoys the wings so they get 2 stars based on experience read more

Sometimes you just need to eat something that nurtures your soul without waiting 45minutes for it to be ready or worrying about it being fried...well, maybe that's just me. At any rate Anntony's on WT Harris is a solid place for some good Jamaican food. I have been there several times ordering different things. My favorites are the baked island wings, beef patties, ox tail, curry goat and callaloo greens (the rice and peas are a given). The service is always friendly and the portions are good. You can also get delivery via UberEATS. In all honesty, there have been days where the seasoning hasn't been quite right, usually just low on salt. Otherwise, always well cooked and tender. I have noticed these inconsistencies less and less though so maybe they have a new cook/chef. Nothing has every been to the point where I haven't wanted to return. read more

Anntony's Caribbean Cafe - 3 beef patties to go. I couldn't help myself so I took a bite before snapping a pic - Caribbean Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Solid 4 stars for Anntony's! I must admit I had not expected to eat here the day I tried this place out, but I was pleasantly surprised. We were even calling the place "Anthony's" before we got there... man it's always nice and humbling to look up and read what you had been calling the place for the last 30minutes was really incorrect. My stupidity aside, we walked in and the place really is decorated to the nines with the "Caribbean theme" and I really liked the used of the tall ceilings to display the nation's flags. Very casual and laid back... the servers were very friendly... I think my co-workers said we had to beat the lunch crowd, so I bet this place can get pretty packed. I chose to go with the pork sandwich with mixed vegetables and plantains. Had to wait the longest compared to my buddies, but it was worth the wait... The waiter even came by with a piece of cornbread for me to much on. My plate was cleaned and I was super glad I had saved my plantains for last... :) I definitely have plans to come back and try the chicken! read more

I'm extremely simple, I love veggies patties - period. It doesn't have all the veggies a traditional authentic Jamaican/Caribbean would, but it'll do. I have tried their jerk wings and enjoyed them. Peeps rave about their special sauce and while I liked the sauce, I wasn't crazy about it. Overall, the food is pretty good, and the facility is clean with vibrant colors. read more

I will agree with some of the reviewers that you can come and everything is delicious then come again and nothing tastes the same. I've found that it depends on who is cooking that day. Now I tend to look in the kitchen to see who's there and that determines if I'm ordering or not. Always, always get a Swank to go no matter whether or not I'm eating. read more

Anntony's Caribbean Cafe - Wings, greens and potato salad! If to come on the right day they do all three the best!! - Caribbean Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

We came here last night because I've heard really good things about their Caribbean food. When we arrived, we were seated immediately without any waiting. I wasn't expecting it but they had live music which was an added plus cause I love live music and the musician was singing some Bob Marley classics. The wait staff wasn't horrible but I've had better. The food was good. I had the ribs and now I see why they are called Succulent Ribs on the menu...because they were exactly that lol. The issue we had with the menu was that we couldn't order the oxtail or the stew chicken dinners because they didn't have any more. That sucked cause we really wanted the oxtail too. You would think they would be overly stocked with food on a Friday night but apparently not. On another note, to the owner who has all of the flags from the Caribbean hanging from the ceiling, I politely ask that you please add the Haitian flag up as well. Since I'm Haitian, it was the first thing I looked for as we were being seated and was later told that they have it but it was not up. What's up with that?! read more

So, my wife and I love local spots and international food. As a black person from the low country of South Carolina, I like island food as it is very similar to the things I grew up on. I really wanted this to be great, but, alas it was not. The beef patties seemed like they were microwaved and the meat inside was not great. The Mac and cheese was dry, though it did have a perfect amount of cheese. Maybe the batch I had just cooked to long. The jerk chicken wings were not great. There was no umph to the skin of the chicken. The server was friendly and attentive, so that was a plus. Like I said, maybe I just caught them on a bad day, but, I was not impressed. I am willing to pull a notorious B.I.G. and give them one more chance. However, this is where we stand based on this experience. read more

I came to Anthony's Caribbean Cafe for the first time on Sunday. I was extremely pleased with all the food I received for just $12. I ordered the brown chicken special with over rice, with mac and cheese, and black beans. The food was delicious! They give me a large portion I had enough to eat before work and I have some for left over for when I return from work. Also, when you go in you order from the bar and the food is ready in about 10 minutes in my case. I will be back for more! read more

Today was the first time I have visited this restaurant and it will also be my last. I was not impressed with the Cuban Pork Roast, Calypso Rice and Slaw. First off, normally, Cuban pork roast is made from a butt roast or pork shoulder, not a dry store bought pork loin. Someone left the bay leaves in the cooked rice and them chopped up. The saving grace for this meal was the coleslaw and cornbread. I was looking forward to chomping into a succulent piece of pork and instead had to gnaw my way through something that never should have been sold to a customer. read more

Tucked away in the corner of a strip mall, this restaurant is easy to miss. But you can tell that it has a loyal customer base. Folks know each other. I came here with several colleagues and had a quick lunch. Folks are really nice here. The owner came by and offered us a small plate of chicken wings and it was yummmmmmmy. Not only that, they came by with a small batch of curry for us to sample as well. I went with ox tail in brown sauce and it was fantastic. Loved it. This is the real deal. I don;t always go to a carribean cafe, cos most don;t do the food any justice. But this place does it right. Its kinda hard to find, but i think its worth the trip. read more
