Delicious fast friendly easy and fun. Love this place. Everything is made fresh daily.

This place has been open about 3 weeks now, situated right beside the new location of Dynasty Buffet in Franklin Square. They have 2 other locations in Charlotte. The staff is very welcoming, and the atmosphere is great. A portrait of Bob Marley was hanging on the wall, Island music was playing on the speakers, and Jamaican colors were lighting up the interior. The food is also authentic. I had the Small Oxtail and Curry Goat Combo for $14 ($17 for a large). The Small is actually a hearty portion of food. All entrees are served with rice, vegetables, and plantains. For rice, options include white rice, yellow rice, and rice and beans. Vegetable of the night was cabbage. Unfortunately, only 2 plantain pieces are included. It was odd to receive a plate consisting of 1/3 rice, 1/3 vegetables, and then only TWO pieces of plantains - one of these is not like the others......Anyway, the Oxtail is fantastic. It is made stew-style and has just a hint of spicy to it. Great flavor! The green Curry Goat tastes like lamb and gets spicier and spicier as you eat more and more of it. Mix the rice with the sauces from the meat - you'll be glad you did! Consider ordering some Coco Bread for $1.50 to sweep up the sauce. I had it nice and hot, with steam still rising out of it. It is starchy like a dinner roll, and has a bit of sweetness to it as well. Overall, my meal was great. However, it appears that none of the meats are boneless, and sometimes the bones are annoyingly small to pick out. I'd also prefer more plantains with my meal, instead of having to order an additional side. Their alcoholic beverages license is also pending, so all of the alcoholic drinks on their menu are currently unavailable. read more

Food was bursting with flavor with a nice accent of spice in the jerk chicken. Oxtail is very good and so is jerk chicken. Rice and beans go very well with both of the meats. Customer service was exceptional. Portions are large and worth the price. Would recommend if you are hungry. read more

I have frequented Caribbean Hut at 2 of the Charlotte locations. Yesterday I read the reviews for this location since it's the closest and was a bit skeptical. However to my surprise the oxtails did exactly what they needed to do. Delicious. I was happy to get my fix and I will be returning soon for the curry shrimp! Plus the cooks rendition of Bob Marley's One Love made me smile. read more

This place is phenomenal! I usually get the oxtails or curry goat. Big portion sizes and excellent value. Cannot recommend this place highly enough. Truly a hidden gem. read more

Our meal exceeded our expectations! The jerk shrimp, cabbage, yellow rice, and vegetables were cooked just right. We will definitely return! read more

I ordered a large oxtail and rice and it was delicious!! The meat was falling right off the bone. The ox tails weren't super fatty. Had a lot of meat on them. The portion size was great. They gave me more ox tail than rice tbh. Customer service was great. the man that helped me was super friendly. 10/10 recommend. read more

Just went out in the rain to eat here. Called first to make sure they do dine in. Got there and looked over the menu for about ten minutes as me and my wife decided what we will eat. Ordered my wife first, jerk chicken and oxtail large combo. Second I ordered curry goat and oxtail large combo. "Sorry sir, not enough for that". Ordered large curry goat. "Sorry sir not enough for that." Oxtail? "Sorry sir." Don't offer to put something together. Doesn't offer other items. Just smile and say sorry. Now I know I may be asking for a lot, but how about go to KFC and they don't have enough chicken? How about going into a pizza ship and no cheese? Better yet walk into Burger King and only to be allowed to eat chicken sandwiches. Then top it off charge me for 20 dolllars for one small a$$ tray of food. 730 and close at 9 and don't have ish to eat. I will never go to this place or any other Caribbean hut again. From New York and this type of service or serving of Jamaican food ought to be ashamed of yourselves. Way better food service and portions. read more

The Caribbean Hut is a authentic Jamaica restaurant.I love the Oxtail and rice it runs me a good 20.00 dollars but ots totally worth it.The service is great the people know your face kind of place Just Amazing read more

Decided to try the lunch special which was any of the chicken dishes. I had the jerk chicken with rice and peas and it was delicious. Paired it with a pineapple pop. My friend had the curry chicken, also delicious. I will be back again. Great portion for the price. You shouldn't leave hungry. read more

I'm in love with the tofu curry and coca bread! They still aren't serving inside, take out only. The people are very friendly and accommodating. read more

Wow! Talk about clutch. I don't come to Charlotte often, but when I do, I never like leaving without some curry goat or jerk chicken. But all my main spots were closed. But Carribean Hut came through. I ended up with curry goat and curry chicken, and it was magnificent! I wish they had more sides available, but when I showed up they were closing. Next time I want to try the mac and cheese. And I'm not sure how or why, but it seems like this place gets better every time I eat there. A while back, I had jerk chicken and it was pretty dry. This time everything was cooked to perfection. Definitely will be back. read more

Portions sizes are huge. Jerk chicken is awesome. Would definitely recommend this place.

Delicious! The servings are huge and everything was full of flavor. They do sometimes sell out of stuff later in the day so keep that in mind! Their prices are very reasonable and the staff are always really sweet. read more

Good jerk chicken with a nice amount of spice. Ox tails were great and the ricce and peas were on point. Mac and cheese were a little dry but it was a solid meal. I got both dishes large and had a good amount of food. Only thing is I didnt get any gravy on my rice(even though I asked) but I wouuld definitely visit again and make sure I take pictures next time. read more

This is undeniably the best Caribbean food I've ever tasted the staff is great the atmosphere is also what more could you ask for I give this Restaurant A++++ read more

Food is outstanding! Portions are more than favorable. Service is always pleasant. Being from NY, I feel somewhat in authority to highly endorse this business and their food. I drive 1hr 45 mins roundtrip to support them. You will NOT be disappointed. read more

Food has its days, some days its great and other days it's mediocre. My only complaints is that the chicken should be grilled longer. Offer collards green more please. Sometimes the jerk chicken is a little loose in texture for me. I will continue to support and order from this location. read more

Great value for the money! We had 2 of the lunch specials and had so much delicious food! The plantains were amazing, great rice and the chicken was so tender and good. read more

Service is excellent! Food is delicious. Very nice and clean. Bob Marley music playing and TVs on the way. Lunch special is very inexpensive. read more

I ordered the jerk shrimp, cabbage, and yellow rice for myself and my sister. I've had Caribbean food before everything was extremely spicy that we couldn't eat it at all read more

This place is the real deal! Had a large jerk chicken plate and it was perfect! The chicken was delicious with just the right amount of spice, the rice and beans were great, the cabbage, the oxtail sauce, washed it down with some champagne kola... so great, just like we were back in Jamaica! So glad we have this place in town! Gonna try the roti next- they're huge and looked terrific! read more

I really can't think of a time when I was so excited for a restaurant to open in Gastonia. This city has seen so much edible diversity in the last 6 years that I've been here and Caribbean Hut has thrilled me! Word on the street via community food scouts was that they would be opening Friday (yesterday) and I wanted to go on opening day because I honestly couldn't contain my excitement. Hubs and I went around 7pm so we could snag some dinner and planned to bring some back for my neighbor and new Yelper (shout out to Jonathan M!) so we got take-out. The restaurant is beautiful, clean and decorated with pics of Bob Marley. Gaston and surrounding counties turned out for this place! There were so many customers and even though the restaurant was adequately staffed, there was still a considerable wait to get our food. (Tip: Call in your orders) No worries mon because they have at least 3 tv's and we were entertained by Usain Bolt achieving his triple-triple! I ordered a small jerk chicken plate that came with rice and beans, veggies and plantains and hubs got the veggie plate with same.(TON of food and only $13/$9 bucks) I also ordered a side of mac and cheese but they were out. Everything was sooooo good! Lastly, I'd like to point out that I heard Caribbean accents on both sides of the counter and that, my friends, is always a good sign! Welcome to the Gas-House Caribbean Hut! read more

Okay, the food is absolutely a 5 star rating. The food was amazingly good. Now, the problem here at this location is not having any oxtail ready to serve even though it's on the menu. Really wanted to have the oxtail but it wasn't prepared in time to serve. The other problem was the waitress. She looked and acted like she just hit a crack pipe. Totally erratic behavior and a very off putting way of speaking. She didn't really know the menu and there was definitely a lack of communication between kitchen and staff. Needless to say this food was so good I will go back, regardless if the wait staff is chasing the dragon in between taking my order and bringing my drink. read more

Would give 5 stars but I had a few issues at this location. Their menu is generic. All locations have the exact menu board but not all locations serve everything. That's misleading. The food is delicioussssss. They should have a choice of dry rub jerk meats or saucy. Did I say food was delicioussss lol. It is!!! Serving platters are too huge which gives the illusion you're getting a lot more than what you're actually getting. I'll be going back. read more

Food was decent but overpriced and service was incredibly slow and unorganized. Every table around me including ours was missing part of our orders even after requesting what was lacking. $13 for shrimp entree and had about 5 small shrimp. Two small overcooked plantain slices. Waitress was sweet but it seemed she needed more help with all of the tables full and better communication from the kitchen. Would not eat here again. read more

Food was hot and fresh! Good seasoning like mom's cooking. Place was clean. Servers was very nice

Good Food if they have what you want.....Theyre always out of something. Go to the carribean hut in Charlotte They keep everything fully loaded.... read more

The restaurant is clean and well organized and the staff is very nice. My main issue was the food. I don't know if I got a bad batch but I ordered the curry chicken and ox tail combo to try out 2 things at once since it was my first time. The food tasted very salty and I was unable to finish it. read more

Food is really good but the kitchen was a disaster. They have no organization when it's busy. Watched as 2 ladies held kitchen tickets in their hands and trying to plate one dish at a time. Was going very slow and a big party in there was getting food over the span of about 40 minutes. The first half of the party were done eating before the last few got their dinners. They have good stuff they need the kitchen staff to communicate and figure out a better system to plate multiple dishes at a time other than slapping down everything one at a time then re reading a ticket to figure out the next dish to plate. In other words if you go here have time lots of time to spare. read more

Very tasty. I had goat curry. Comfortably spicy. For me a carribean restaurant is a welcome addition to gaston county.

Food is ABSOLUTELY fresh! Red velvet cake is DELISH! Employees, servers, and the chef are very personable, accommodating and friendly! See you soon! read more

Loved this little stop on our road trip home.. some of the best Caribbean I've had in a while ! Tina welcomed us and spoiled us. Homemade Jamaican style fruit juices LoVe read more

We went yesterday on a whim to try Caribbean Hut. It's been open a month or so. I don't eat Caribbean on a regular basis (as the only ones nearby have been in Charlotte), but do enjoy the food. Theirs was no exception. They serve a variety of meats (chicken, goat, oxtails, etc.) in either the traditional jerk style or curry style as well as BBQ. I had the small jerk chicken, which came with greens and choice of rice (white, yellow, or rice and beans). I chose the rice and beans. The chicken was tasty, spicy, and moist; and, there was plenty of it. The greens were perfectly chopped and not overcooked or overseasoned. The rice was delicious, tender, and flavored. The meal was truly great. Service was excellent. Recommended and reasonably priced. read more

This place is amazing! The staff are super fun, the food is unbelievable, and the atmosphere is great! I don't live close but I will for sure be coming back! read more
