Giving them a 4 because the jerk chicken is delicious, 1st time I had the curry shrimp. The curry shrimp was good but felt it was missing something ...the jerk chicken definitely pushes that 3star to a 4 . Yum yum read more

Caribbean Hut - Curry chicken, delicious .... - Caribbean Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Man o Man! I wish I had a picture of the food my S/O and I order from this place. First of all, my S/O was so impressed by the affordable prices he made sure we stopped to eat there. We are not from the area so he had to rely on reviews for local good food. This place hands down is the place you want to go for "authentic" Caribbean food. The amount of food for the price we paid was AWESOME. Okay now for the taste... it was EXCELLENT. Nice and hot from the kitchen to the table. Not too spicy not too bland. It was perfect. He and ordered King Fish and Tilapia. It came with a mix of cabbage and other veggies. It was sooooo good. Okay, I'm going to through this other bit of information because it means alot to me.... the cleanliness of the restrooms was superior. No foul smell, no linger tp's on the floor, appropriate soap. Touchless as well. I can tell you that I have been in big named chain restaurants that had worse bathrooms. read more

The food and staff are excellent!! The young man at the counter greeted us warmly and happily answered some questions we had about menu items. We tried the oxtail and goat combo, jerk chicken, and the moss drink as they seemed to be the popular choices. The food was very flavorful with lots of spice and aromatics. The restaurant itself was nice and clean. This is definitely our go-to place in Charlotte. read more

Caribbean Hut - Oxtail and goat combo, large. So packed with flavor, I scraped my plate clean. - Caribbean Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Yep.... this right here is a real gem. Walked in to this place with high hopes. It exceeded. The people were super nice. Really helpful and friendly. I got the curried goat and the oxtail. Both amazing. Rice outstanding. Just a really plate across the board. I'll come back here for sure. read more

I ate dinner here and it was fabulous. I thought I was in Jamaica. I had jerk chicken, rice, and plantains. Huge plate.... delicious.... ten bucks! Don't miss this place read more

I would love to give this place 5 stars but I can't in good conscience.... can you say plantain!??? Every time I place an order for a meal with plantain, they either say they don't have any (regardless of day of week or time of day) and/ or just don't give you any (presumably because they are out of it as usual) and don't tell you that your meal will be missing the plantain you ordered. I can't tell you how many times I've disappointedly opened my plate to notice that there is zero of the plantain I ordered. Perhaps they should discount my meal or offer a substitute instead of charging me for a large stew chicken with steak veg AND plantain then conveniently omitting the plantain ... buyer beware and check your plate before you leave. The fact that no one responded to my review should speak volumes about the bs at this restaurant! The website said they close at 9 on Sunday but they close at 8. News flash... your food is not that good relative to the bs! Go to to mangos in noda where both the food and customer service is worth your money. Kick rocks Caribbean hut! read more

Flavors for oxtail and curry goat combo were cool. Did not like they did not have Roti skins nor did the little guy know what Dhalpuri was!!! And then the tiny little 2 strips of plantain and how about meat with your bones? Smdh... I will go to other places for Roti and head to Atlanta for other things. This will be my last resort. read more

My favorite Caribbean restaurant to eat, It took me a while to find authentic tasting Jamaican food and this is it. A big fan of the oxtails but anything on the menu will surely make your day. read more

Awesome place to eat! Jerk Chicken is good, always hot and served quickly upon order. Will certainly recommend this place!

The food here is amazing and the staff is always warm and welcoming. Highly recommend the curry goat, oxtails, and beef patties!

Super yummy food!! I had the chicken combo meal, and it came with rice and beans and steamed cabbage for $11. The waitress was really nice :) read more

Caribbean Hut - Caribbean Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Always fresh and delicious. I love this place. Have only been there for dinner on Fridays after work. It's never been crowded, most tables are empty. Majority of people call in their orders. The service is always fast and friendly. They're very accommodating. I don't like spicy so I always get the brown stew chicken and oxtail combo. My friend loves spicy so she goes with the chicken and goat curry. They make their own hot sauce too. read more

First time trying this restaurant. I'm from Jamaica, and i don't understand how the owners allows this food to be sold. I had the Jerk chicken meal, and the food taste like someone poured 3 pound of salt in my food. Why does jerk chicken have gravy! Jerk sauce is one thing,but i open my meal and saw nothing but gravy!!! WTH!! read more

Customer service is TRASH. I would never go back to the woodlawn location, N Tryon employees are nice. The bald girl with the little bit of locs she has shouldn't be interacting with the public at all. read more

Loved it! Big portions and good customer service. And most importantly great tasting food and homemade juices

This was a real surprise. I found this by chance and having never tried Jamaican food, thought I'd give it a try. Superb. Tried the jerk chicken, rice and beans with cabbage. Great prices and friendly staff. Doesn't look much from the front, but has a very peaceful atmosphere. Will definitely go out my way to come again. read more

We just ordered two jerk shrimp dinners and they were sub par. The shrimp was extremely spicy. Since when us jerk spicy? Jamaicans would be offended if they tasted this food and the Mac & cheese is trash! Please do better! This is ridiculous! read more

This place used to be great but it has gone downhill since. They're always out of items and the prices recently went up on some things on the menu. Forget service, dry. A ramp up is definitely needed as they will continue to lose business. Don't get me wrong, the food tastes great, when they have it but I'm currently in search for another go to Jamaican restaurant :( read more

Horrible horrible horrible........ I was looking forward to good food due to the reviews I been reading from other customers.... I ordered a large oxtail dinner and was enjoying my food until I half of a huge bug in my food. I have never experienced anything like that in my life. Did call the Woodlawn location to complain and was offered a new entree but I won't be eating from this franchise again. read more

Caribbean Hut - Found in my rice be careful - Caribbean Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

The best brown stew snapper! Staff is friendly & you can tell the people cooking enjoy what they're doing...

FOOD WAS TRASH!! THEY DONT DESERVE ANY TYPE OF STARS.... Thought I was getting a traditional Jerk cabbage rice n beans plate but to my surprise I received cinnamon peppered jerk chicken with no white meat. Only 2 legs and 2 thighs of old dried barbecue. So disappointed! The WORST JERK PLATE I HAVE EVER HAD read more

Really good when we ordered from the Gastonia location but the Woodlawn location ran out of sides and oxtails. We were left with cabbage and plantains. The one who answered the call was not speaking clearly and kept saying "I only have plantains and cabbage on this side okay?" We arrived after they told us it will be ready in 10 mins and they had to ask us what we ordered and had to make it on the spot. read more

WARNING!!!!! GREENS ARE FROM A CAN........ My fiance and I are huge fans of Jamacian food. We have traveled all over the United States and tried many different places. Our experience at this Caribbean Hut has been nothing but disasterous. We ordered lunch one time and as most expect the entree' comes with peas and cabbage. When we got there to pick up our food we checked our order and they put greens and peas on the cool instead of cabbage. When we made a complaint about them putting there wack greens on our plate instead of cabbage we were told they were out of cabbage. Since when does an entree not have cabbage???? We were not happy then they acted like we were just going to except it and move on. The most recent experience was today. We decided to give them another shot to redeem themselves. However when we got in there to sit down we over heard them telling another table they were out of cabbage again. Believe me this place will not get our business ever again. They never have cabbage and expect us as consumers to eat the BS Canned greens they are trying to serve! read more

If you want real Caribbean food this is the place! It was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The plantains were amazing and I could have eaten them all day. I got a small portion and it was huge. I can't imagine what a large would look like! read more

This was my first time here. Small place but the food and service was excellent. I had the butter shrimp and my boyfriend had the oxtail and goat curry. Everything was very tasty. They ran out of soup so I'll have to come back soon to try it. read more

Have gotten the oxtail plates. Pretty good. Sauce is a little sweet so I wouldn't recommend submerging your rice in it. Place actually closes at 10pm! Not 10:30 like it says here. read more

I hate dishonesty and this business will rip you off. On Sunday june 28th at 12:34 I placed an order for 2 large oxtail plates. When I picked them up they only put 5 oxtails in each and filled the largest part of the plate with rice. I called and told them I was unhappy and they agreed to put my name down for another meal. I made sure they had my last name, offered my phone number, and clarified the order. At this point I was still fine with how they handled it and was still willing to be a customer. I called to finally pick up the order they want to say they do not have record of my order being messed up and that I cannot recieve the order. The girl that took my order stood beside him and told him I never ordered. I can hear her lying. I really liked this restaurant and had just saved their number in my phone, but I can no longer spend my money here. I eat hear almost once a week. I know portions and they really tried to rip me off with all that rice. I just wish they would have taken responsibility. read more

So for starters , I am not on any level or any kind of expert on Caribbean food but boy let me tell you.. This place straight up blew me out of the way! I was shockingly surprised and beyond satisfied with my meal! For like 10 bucks I tried not only the famous jerk chicken, but also the curried chicken. Until the other day I had never tried either one of those foods at all. I will absolutely go back and visit here again. I really did love it! And they've got an amazing homemade drink called Irish Moss there too! Last but not least, I am quite hesitant when it comes to trying strange, new or weird foods but I urged up enough courage to try my friends curried goat and ox tails and just for the record. I would've never known either one would have turned out that good. This place may not look like your fine dining sort of place , but you surely do get what you pay for and it really was absolutely delicious! I cannot wait to go back. Two thumbs up Caribbean Hut! read more

Caribbean Hut - My Curried Chicken and Jerk Chicken combo with Rice and Plantains. - Caribbean Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Went here on a recommendation while staying at a nearby hotel. Nice mom and pop type place with really good food. Very small menu of authentic Jamaican food. Got the jerk chicken, spicy and flavorful but watch out for bone fragments. Reasonably priced and friendly service, if you're in the mood for something different you'll be very satisfied. read more

I stayed at a hotel on Woodlawn to be closer to the airport after spending the previous four days uptown. Being the self-proclaimed foodie I am, the first thing I did upon arrival was start looking for places to eat. After doing a Yelp search, I realized most places in the area had three or less stars (not a good look). When I stumbled upon Caribbean Hut, I noticed it had 4 (I believe). Knowing what I know, I know not all Caribbean people make good Jamaican food. So I started looking at the individual reviews. I saw enough positive comments to make this my dinner choice for the night. Upon arrival, the first thing I noticed (besides the music) was the young man inside cleaning (always a good sign). The second thing I noticed was the smell. There was a slight hint of food, but it didn't smell like an overwhelming greasy spoon smell. It smelled like good food and that worked for me. After pondering for a few, I noticed traffic beginning to pick up, so I knew it was about to be on. I settled on the oxtails and curry goat with rice and peas. Let me just say I was NOT disappointed. Best Jamaican food I've had in a long time. And I was craving it. My only two complaints about this place were they didn't have any beef patties (only chicken) and the curry goat was a tad salty. Yes, I was in a beef kinda mood that night. Next time I'm in Charlotte, I'm going back. Thumbs up. read more

Caribbean Hut - Curry goat and oxtail combo. Good choice. - Caribbean Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

See all

Curry chicken , rice & peas, cabbage, side of mac and cheese....listen I ain't mad!!! Living in South Charlotte, Carribean food is Hard to come by!!! I would Always have to travel to North Charlotte jus to eat good. So Yes I'll definitely be back!!! read more

I went to this place once a long time ago before it was bought out by the current owner and management. The food was horrible then, but talk about a complete turn around! This is the best Caribbean food I've had in years, bar none! The bold flavors, the spicy entrees you are supposed to expect in this cuisine are present and highlighted. I got the ox-tail and jerk chicken to go today, the place was was calm and quiet seeing as it's a day before Christmas eve. I got home and the pungent aromas hit me like a favorite toy under the tree on Christmas day ( excuse the Christmas spirit). Once I tasted this food I knew I was hooked for a long time, the jerk is as bold as you'd find in one of those Jamaican restaurants when you're on vacation in Montego Bay or any other road side restaurant there. The undertones of cloves, peppers, thyme, garlic, onions etc in all the dishes, you can't go wrong! read more

Was in Charlotte on a business trip and found this heavenly establishment online....OMG the best Caribbean food I've had in a while the Mac n cheese didn't look like the advertisement but it was still scrumptious and the Oxtails were mind blowing..THIS WILL DEFINITELY BE MY GO TO CARIBBEAN RESTAURANT IN CHARLOTTE FROM NOW ON! FYI the service was great as well #GOMAB1914 @impulsive_3 read more

Yum! I had curried goat and jerk chicken. The curried goat was about as good as I had on the islands last year. The jerk chicken was more of a wet type with a sauce on top than the dried rub style I am used to, but all was good. DO NOT LISTEN TO YELP'S DIRECTIONS, it circled me around the block and led to the back side of a hotel. Google got it right, it is on Woodlawn next to a raw bar and down from The Gentlemans Club (at the other end of the strip mall). read more

Fantastic food, and very helpful staff, reasonable prices, definitely go! And get the chicken patties and combo

I was very disappointed in this restaurant. The jerk sauce had a decent flavor, but the rest of the meal (rice. veggies.) were totally uninsipired and tasteless. The beef patty tasted like it was straight from the frozen box. One friend got the curry shrimp and she said the curry sauce was tasty. Other friend got the jerk chicken I believe and has to pick around bones. I would not visit here again. read more

Jerk chicken and oxtail are extremely salty, to the point its not edible. I had to wash it down with soda. The neighborhood is not particularly great either. Won't go again. read more

I leave two stars. This is why... The service I have received from Caribbean Hut has been poor. We have been long time customers of the Woodlawn location, LONG, like back when it was Island Paradise. The food is generally very good for what you can get in Charlotte, though very inconsistent. They often have no oxtails, and sometimes no goat. What makes me write this review is what occurred this evening. We called at 8:45 and were surprised that they even said they had oxtails. We placed an order for pickup in 20 minutes. We got there within those 20 minutes...got there and were told they had no oxtails, no record of our call and no ideas for resolution. It could've been a single individual's mistake, I get it, it happens. However on top of super mediocrity, I will not be back and will deter anyone that might ask about where to get good Jamaican food in Charlotte. Dissatisfied is the word of the day. read more

I love Jamican food. Friends suggested this place but they either ran out of meat and was lazy on this day and gave very little on my plate not only was it bits and peace. It was not even jerk chicken it was just baked chicken with jerk sauce on it I can make that at home this place is horrible will never be back hopefully I can find a real restaurant that actually out love into the food and serve real jerk chicken wing be back to this place read more

Oxtails here are to die for! The stir fry shrimp and curry goat is also good here. I don't care too much for plaintains so I ask for extra cabbage instead. The employees here have always been very nice and helpful. A must try if you've never had it. read more
