I had high hopes for this place but.... Most of my meal as well as my friends was in-edible. The rice, beans, and cabbage was fine-but the meat? Barely meat. My jerk chicken was mainly bones and my friend's jerk pork mainly fat. See photos. My friend got a spicy beef patty as well which he said was no better than the one he buys at the dollar store. On top of the food being disappointing the guy tried to charge my friend 30$ for a medium plate and one beef patty. We had to point out that that did not align with their advertised price. Will not return. read more

After passing this little place for a few years and hearing the Caribbean music we finally made it for lunch. All I can say is that the oxtails were melt in your mouth. Amazing flavors also in the jerk chicken and tender not dried out at all. Cabbage was so good as was the rice and peas. Enough to feed a really hungry person and it did not disappoint. The people there were so friendly and made us feel welcome. I almost forgot to mention the real, homemade, fresh squeezed lemonade!! Loved it!! So the next time you are sitting in traffic on 112 and you hear Caribbean music turn in for a delicious meal. read more

My friend I ordered from here. We got several different things to try. It was good but we both ended up getting sick. We think it was food poisoning because it's the only thing we both ate. We will never come back here after that experience. read more

We saw someone recommend this place on Facebook, so we decided to give it try for dinner tonight. The Oxtail was everyone's favorite. It was so tender - the meat fell right off the bone - and the flavors were so delicious. The jerk chicken was also tasty. I've never had jerk chicken before, so this was a great first experience. The chicken had a beautiful smokey flavor and the texture was perfect! As for the stew chicken - the flavor was there, but (not sure if it was just our serving) it was full of small bone shards which was a hassle to carefully pick out. We ordered all of the dishes in medium and they serve a generous portion with rice and cabbage on the side. Wait time was quick (~5 mins)! I will say the plantains were not good - they were dry (almost rubbery), cold, and hard which was disappointing. Overall: This is a nice diamond in the rough place to try some great flavored Caribbean food! read more

I love this place. This is my Caribbean go to spot. Everything about this place reminds me of old school Caribbean kitchens especially the food. The food is great and consistent. I am from Brooklyn and there are plenty of Caribbean restaurants there. I found Caribbean Flavors a little over a year ago and now I dont have to go to Brooklyn for Caribbean food. I have yet to be disappointed. read more

One of my favorite Caribbean restaurants out here on the island. Literally everything we order from here is so good. We recently just used them to cater a party we had. The rice and peas was cooked to perfection along with the plantain, jerk chicken and oxtails. Even the beef Patti was delicious, and had the perfect amount of spice on it. I'm in love with their oxtails it's so flavorful. My only downfall to this place is that I never been here in person I have always sent someone else to pick it up for me. So I can't comment on what this place looks like but I do know they have a drive through options as well. read more

Born and Raised in Trelawny, Jamaica and moved to long island 3 years ago. I'm always missing that's good home cooking. Yesterday on lunch got tired of the same old place. I spent about 1 hour searching the internet up to make sure this place is authethicly Caribbean. So I felt confident that's after living here, I can finally find a spot to call "home" This place is Jamaican . They seasoned it well! Dont get me wrong My problems is : I Dont feel like it's right to pay $30 for ONE plate of curry goat and its TUFF like a well done steak. I called the store yesterday when I got back to the office to let home know it's overcooked and he's answers like and? What's you want me to do about it? Barelyl cared if the food wasnt the good or not Ahh I'll continue to drive to Brooklyn or Queens for what I want YESTERDAY WAS A HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT And he gonna ask me when I am coming back? To waste more money?!? Lmaooo never Sir ill rather that's read more

Ok YUM Tiny little casual spot, so friendly. Some bar seats out front so it's a real pick-up or quick fix spot. They were so helpful and kind. We just got a couple patties bc we were just getting a snack but they were so tasty and I wished we could have gotten a full meal there! Got the spicy beef and curry chicken patties and they were so good. Flaky pastry and plenty of flavourful filling. I loved both but my husband was particularly fond of the curry. I want to go back and try some jerk chicken and oxtail! read more

The food here is very authentic and excellent! Good, quick service, they don't need around. Great place!

Honestly, this place is legit, even down to the menu style. (If y'all frequent Queens, you know what I mean) Its a very unassuming spot off of 347, but once you spot the vibrant green shack, you can't miss it. Service right now is just drive thru (but completely welcome during the times of COVID). I ordered a small curry chicken and my elixir, peanut punch. A serving includes rice and beans, cabbage and a plantain. Now, to be fair, I've grown up on Indo-Caribbean food. So, I went into this not expecting things to taste similar to my mom's cooking. But, still, this food tastes like someone's mom's cooking and that is by no means a bad thing! Everything is perfectly seasoned, the plantain and cabbage are tender, the curry is flavorful. And the peanut punch, as always, is amazing. Smooth and sweet peanutty flavor. Do yourself a favor and get that as your drink. If you've never had authentic Caribbean food, I can only describe it as slightly similar to Indian food. But its still truly unique in its flavors. Normally you'd have to be dragged to Queens in order to sample. But now that there is a place on the island that does it right, there's no excuse. You have to try! read more

I had my husband pick me up an oxtail dish to go. I checked their website and the medium was priced at $12.99 and the large was $16.99 advertised. However, it ended up being $21. It was delicious with the beans and rice. The oxtail was very flavorful and loved the spices used. No complaint on the food. They should update their website so customers know the prices and know what to expect. read more

Freshly made food at a terrific price point. It fills your belly! - Bill S When I dine in the Caribbean Islands, I'm sitting down to a whole roasted fish in a restaurant with tablecloths. I smell the sweet salty air while sipping a glass of wine, life is good. When my son went to college in Albany, he found a local Caribbean restaurant serving home cooking meals. The owner said to him: Child, Let me warm your body with the power of the Ox. He was there all the time and telling me about the different items. Oxtail? Sounds like osso bucco to me! Both my sons have been home for Fathers Day and today we want to order some food. Sandwiches? Nah. Ramen? Nah. Burger. No! Hey, how about the new place on 112, Caribbean Flavors? Dad, you can try Oxtail! Sold! I placed the order and drove to this new take out restaurant. This is not a place where there are tables and wait staff. Place your order and pick it up. I pull up to the drive in and gave my name. I paid with my debit card and picked up my food. So far, easy peasy. My Oxtail platter had plantains, rice and cabbage covered in a rich brown gravy. Son #1 is now in the zone. Son #2 ordered a small Curry Chicken. This is a nice choice, they have platters that are sized small, medium and large. I opened my medium oxtail platter, this was a lot of food! The oxtail wasn't spicy, I found it was very flavorful. The dish works well with the plantains, a little sweet and little heat. Perfection. If you're looking for a new restaurant choice in Port Jefferson, Caribbean Flavors awaits. read more

Visiting a friend in the area read yelp reviews say this place is good.... may be that gives me a high expectation.... We ordered oxtail, chicken, shrimp and red snapper. They ALL are very greasy :((( Thanks God, oxtail and chicken are succulent at least. Particular the oxtails, full of Caribbean flavors! However, red snapper is a HUGE miss! Buried in loads of oil, saggy and sad:( ((( There is no way to taste fish itself. Rice bean and cabbage are light. read more

I did not expect such an authentic Caribbean drive-through restaurant in Port Jeff. The curry shrimp tasted close to the one that my dearly, departed West Indian parents (both from Montserrat) treated the family to on some Friday evenings. There was a heaping amount of jumbo shrimp, which came with a side of rice and peas, cabbage and plantains. I mixed the curry into the cabbage for spectacular flavor. To drink, I asked for homemade ginger beer. The owner Steve, who is Queens-raised by Jamaican parents; and his hospitable El Salvadorian-American wife, Lucy; said that that they ran out. I do not like bottled ginger beer, so instead I had the bottled "Pat's Erotics" sorrel, which was tasty. The fruitcake was good but a tad dry. Some rum would have moistened it, and I told the owner so, and he took my criticism well. If anybody is ever in Port Jeff and wants some authentic Caribbean food, try Caribbean Flavors. read more

I'm so glad this place opened up because there aren't many West Indian restaurants on Long Island. I drive past and have been wanting to try it because of the bright paint job--so that drew me in. Also, I love Caribbean food. Before going, I checked the rating and website so I know what to expect and how to place an order during COVID-19. It was quick and simple. Their website doesn't really work for ordering. It's okay because it's a straight forward menu. I called, and told them what I wanted and the told me to come right away. No wait time. I get to the drive-thru, tell them my name...and that was it! I love this place! A cute/small dairy barn sized drive thru with BIG flavorful food. I was so happy once I got home. I hadn't had this for a long time! I had a small jerk chicken (which comes w cabbage, rice and peas and plantain) and a spicy beef patty. It was perfect! Can't wait to try other stuff on their menu. read more

I have been here many times. I strictly get the jerked chicken meal with a drink. The food I have gotten is great and the atmosphere is cozy and genuine. The older gentleman is super polite and all the people that hang around the spot have all been friendly. I hope to see this place get hot plates soon so the food can be even better. The outside sitting area is nice. I sometimes order the food and head to the actual port of port jefferson and enjoy my food with the awesome water view. I recommend you check this place out at least once. read more

I came here with a friend and ordered the salmon and he got the red snapper. The food was made fresh as we waited. We sat at the bench on the side of the store facing the carvel. The owner was very nice and made sure we was satisfied with our order. Our food came with veggies, rice and beans and plantains. My salmon was very tasty, I couldn't finish it all so I had leftovers the next day. I will be back to try the oxtails !! Enjoy!! read more

This was the best Caribbean food I've ever had and I've had really good Caribbean food in Barbados, Costa Rica, etc. This was better than them all. Got the curry chicken and jerk chicken with Mac and cheese, rice and beans, corn bread, and some delicious cabbage marinated in some sort of amazing seasonings. The flavor of everything was so good! Wish we lived here so I could come more often. They gave us rum punch and jerk pork for free too. Very friendly staff! read more

While I was driving by, this place caught my eyes with its bright yellow and green colors. After work, I immediately dropped by to pickup jerk chicken, oxtail and red snapper. Right away the aroma filled my car, making my mouth salivate the entire way home. Without any hesitation, we devoured the food when I got home. If you want food bursting with spice and flavor, look no further. Everything was so flavorful, the meat was falling off the bone, the rice was moist, and the meat patties were delicious. The fish was different and equally delicious and reminded me a bit of Chinese sweet and sour fish. Will definitely be back! read more

I saw quite a few positive reviews on the very popular Long Island Food & Drink Facebook Group and had to try it out! The service is incredibly friendly, prices are wonderful, and the food is top notch! Located on Patchogue Rd in PJ Station, this place looks like an old dairy barn with the drive thru. It's situated between Speedway & Carvel. There is a fairly large parking lot. This is a drive thru/ walk in convenience store. Due to the quarantine, they have drive thru service only right now. The service was so friendly. I called in my order because I know the oxtails are popular and sometimes they sell out. They told me the order would be ready in 10 minutes. This place is quick. When I arrived, my order was ready to go and piping hot. The prices are wonderful! Patties are just $3 a piece. They have various specials of the day posted on their Facebook page. The food...so delicious... better than food I've had in the Caribbean on vacation! Thinking about the food is currently making my mouth water as I type this. Everything was expertly prepared and the servings were incredibly generous. I decided to order the oxtail because it's always one of my favorite Caribbean dishes. This place knocked it out of the park! The oxtail was so tender, almost melting in my mouth. 100% addicted. The gravy on top of the oxtail gave that umami flavor. The rice, cabbage, and plantain were cooked great and packed with flavor. I decided on the large order which was perfect for me (big appetite). For $16, I got lunch & dinner combined! Also tired out a spicy beef patty on coco bread. I loved the patty on the bread. I thought it gave it a very nice taste. Honestly, the coco bread is was great on its own too. Overall, I'm so happy a place like this opened up in Suffolk County to satisfy my oxtail/curry/Caribbean cravings. I will 100% be back for the delicious food and great hospitality. read more

A really nice surprise to find solid Caribbean food in Suffolk County, let alone in Port Jeff! We love Caribbean oxtail, and will have it whenever we get the chance. I really like that they serve their platters with cabbage, instead of collard greens. The cabbage is a nice balance to all the flavors of the oxtail, jerk, etc. The oxtail stew/gravy today was just a little bit on the salty side, but still okay. I would have preferred a little less salt, so you can taste the other flavors more. I feel like they could have cooked down the ox tail more too, so each piece has meat falling off the bone. And slightly more meaty oxtails would be nice. But that's just me being picky at this point. I'm really happy to have discovered this little takeout spot, and looking forward to coming by again in the future to try the jerk chicken. Support this business! They do a great job and bring some missing Caribbean flavors to the area. read more

We came for takeout during the pandemic. The food is delicious but too salty. The curry shrimp, the braised oxtail, and the rice accompanying both entrees, had great flavor, but too much salt added, otherwise they definitely would have received 5 stars. The Mac and cheese was absolutely delicious! And the oxtail was unctuous and perfectly cooked. We also got the carrot cake, which was ok, a little dry. Will definitely come back to try the jerk chicken and patties. read more

If you're tired of burgers, pizza & tacos try this place Caribbean Flavors. I think the building was a dairy barn prior to this restaurant. I ordered mac & cheese only because the owner/chef stated in the Newsday article how good it was. He was wrong...it was DELICIOUS & CHEESY. I also ordered a med oxtail dish. AWESOME too. Friendly conversation & service was A+. Give it a try you won't be sorry. read more
