I love this place. I usually get the oxtail plate with rice peas and cabbage. It's literally my favorite. Everytime im in the area I will stop by here

Petersburg area have limited Caribbean restaurants to choose from. Caribbean Kitchen new location is clean and odor free. The service was prompt and I ordered my food within minutes of coming inside. It took less than 10 minutes for my food. I always enjoy the grill taste of the jerk chicken. The prices are not too expensive and I enjoyed authentic caribbean food from here. The parking area is limited. There were a lot of take out orders.

Oxtails and all white jerk chicken was delicious! Will definitely go back! Portions are good also!!!

Food was hot and delicious! I tried the oxtails and jerk chicken! Was very pleased with both and portions were good also! Definitely will recommend and definitely will go back!

Was at Fort Gregg Adams for a work trip and a couple of my colleagues tried this place and had only good things to say about them so we stopped by for dinner on one of our last nights there. A couple pointers: don't expect dine in. Right now it's take out only. If you want a meat or chicken patty, come early; they sell out fast. If you want to wait for a couple patties, it takes about 30 minutes wait time (but it's well worth the wait!). The small platter was enough for dinner and left overs for the next day. A large would definitely accommodate two people. The food was great!! We really wanted the meat patty so we waited for our food about 25/30 minutes and it was well worth it. The oxtails were tender but not spicy which I liked. The meat patty though was spicy and well flavored. My co worker got the jerk chicken and she stated it was spicy but she liked it. I'd definitely come again!

Smelt like poop. And they don't have any done in anyway. We walked out. And we won't be back.

Jerk chicken with peas and cabbage, coco bread and a beef patty.

FYI this place is carry out only. We drove 35 min to eat inside and it is not open for dine in. Other than that, the jerk chicken was so moist and delicious. The only issue we had was there were little bone fragments in the rice and it was very hard to pick out. Definitely going back to try the curry chicken next time. So good.

I came back to this place after eating it once or twice a week and my very last visit the food taste old. You know that old when you walk in somebody house and can smell they long lived there for a long time. That Goodwill smell was basically the taste of my food. I'm guessing it was leftover which leads to think that's why there food doesn't take very long, it must be pre made and brought in. I think I'll leave it to Jamaica House on my food.

Yes yes yes! Jerk chicken + rice and cabbage was delicious! Their prices, you cannot beat. Worth it!

The food was definitely on point. I ordered the small jerk wing combo, a beef patty, and coco bread. Everything was fresh and extremely flavorful. Walked in to order and took about 15 mins, which wasn't bad at all. We all worth the short wait! Of course my wife had to try some of mine and immediately regretted not getting anything for herself. So we'll be going back today! read more

Oh my gosh, this place has one of the best roti's that I've ever eaten. I loved it , it was a perfect blend of spices. The meat was tender, almost falling off the bone, the roti pancake was perfect. And the portion was so generous. I actually made two meals out of it. It was such a good culinary experience. Overall, it felt like I had bought the dish on the island of Jamaica from a great chef / restaurant. You definitely have to get this restaurant a try. I can't give a review on the inside ambiance yet cause I haven't eaten in yet. But I hope to dine inside in the near future. read more

Very authentic Jamaican spot just off of E Washington, just behind the PuddleDock Rd area and between Ft. Lee and Petersburg. Going inside, I was transported to the islands - friendly and helpful duo at work, yummy chicken and beef patties, curried or jerk chicken, goat and other options. Went for a chicken and beef patty along with the Jerk Chicken. Very good, nice flavors. The chicken is served cut, on the bone, served with a jerk sauce over rice and beans and a side of cabbage. The rice and beans alone are outstanding. Good heat and spice but not too overpowering. Delicious! Nice to have an authentic international spot in the area. I would highly recommend next time you are looking for some takeout. read more

OMG this is definitely satisfying! My favorite place moving forward! ... I had to put my fork down after the first bite so I could take a picture of this experience! Yes, it's that good!

The food is Fantastic! The Jerk Chicken is exploding with flavor (and bones lol)! Sooo tasty. We called in for pickup. We started of with 1 beef and chicken patty. The beef patty was awesome. I could eat 10 of them or at least try. The chicken was good, but nothing like the beef. We ordered three entrees to share: Jerk Chicken, Curry Chicken, and Pepper Steak and that's in order from favorite to least favorite. Each comes with rice & beans and cabbage. The Jerk Chicken is a must try! The chicken is grilled and covered with a Jerk gravy. Excellent spices and a hint of heat. I must urge you to eat slowly, one to enjoy the flavor experience and two to search for bones. They just do a rough chop on the birds and serve it all, so happy hunting! Each entree is $9.00 for a large. The space is small so takeout is probably the best option. Don't wait! Try them NOW! I'll totally be back again. read more

Delicious tasting food. The food is seasoned just right. I got the curry chicken and the stewed beef. The orders only come with white rice and cabbage Or rice and peas and cabbage. I wish they offered plantains. The curry chicken tasted smooth and sorta sweet. The sides were delicious too. I also ordered a slice of carrot cake and it was soft, moist, and delicious. I traveled 15 mins to come here. I will come again!!! The customer service was good too because I've been to Jamaican restaurants where the cashier was rude.

Relatively new Caribbean spot in the burg, only open about 7 months. I was told by an employee that the specialty was curry chicken and jerk chicken........I was told by a friend that the oxtails were great but I opted on the 'specialty' curry chicken with rice/beans, cabbage and a side of jerk. Sadly, the rice was kind of gooey and unlike any Caribbean rice/beans I had before, the cabbage was good, the curry chicken was ok, and the jerk chicken was pretty dreadful...the sauce had a really weird taste and no spice at all. I'm sure they offer something on the menu worth purchasing but I doubt I'll return any time soon. read more

On a friday during lent, looking for a place with seafood near our hotel. What a great place!…read moreWalked in to live music and got seated right away. The place is warehouse size HUGE, so i doubt they ever completely pack out. The low country seafood boils are amazing, and very generously portioned. My daughter opted for king crab legs and they were perfect. The seasoning and sauce was lick your plate clean kinda yummy! Me & spouse had the fried catfish, which was amazing. Perfectly fried and seasoned. Clam chowder was new england style. Delicious, but not hot. Just warm. We were so hungry we didnt send back. Got a local IPA on tap. It was warm & stale. Our server was so kind & honest about it. She shared that several people returned their tap beers that day because they were warm, and admitted she didn't know enough about beer to help me so the bartender would come over. Wow! That's outstanding customer service! Apparently the IPAs in bottles were EXPIRED as per the very nice bartender. So I got a Sam Adams instead. Whatever, you're here for the seafood and it is excellent. Just disappointed with a huge bar, you would expect the beer to be ok. Our server, i wish i could remember her name because she was so nice and smiley. Definitely would return here if in area again. This was a pit stop on a roadtrip vacation.

I noticed that same great spirit with his other customers as well. I haven't even talked about the food because I was so impressed with our server. Thanks again Justyn. NOW, I ordered the small flounder dinner with onion rings and coleslaw. There were 2- nice size pieces of golden crispy brown fillets that tasted like fried seasoned fish at a cookout The hit is "Always" the hush puppies that look like onion rings. Theres a hint of sweetness with that special one of a kind flavor. The coleslaw was chopped fine and Delicious. The Onion Rings need ATTENTION. They looked pretty good on the plate, but there was hardly any onion inside. Flat and NO Flavor. Definitely cheap frozen rings. Captain Tom's use to have thick cut, excellent seasoned battered onion rings that you would expect in a southern seafood restaurant. The young man that seated us and the cashier were friendly and accommodating. So my dining experience would be 4 stars, but your Staff made it 5.

Cabbage is wet and so was the sweet potato casserole... you cannot get a Togo cup for your wet side dishes unless you pay $1 extra per container. We got there when they first opened. I'm not sure how or why the side dishes were cold but they were. Our waitress was VERY nice. You did a little discount if you pay cash... but who is really paying cash....

Skrimp Shack has fried haddock. It's not in a bun and doesn't come with macaroni salad but it will do. The fries were really good. Those were fish fry joint kinda fries. Haddock was good too. The shrimp were quite good as well--they tasted fresh and not frozen. I'm happy. The only stinker is the packets of cocktail and tartar....they can't make that in house??? Oh well.

I ordered the catfish dinner and it was good. I enjoyed it... The service was good and I can tell…read morethey work really hard at this location as it's always busy. Buttt the restaurant could use a little TLC- few upgrades, and deep cleaning. Just saying

I order the baked chicken meal for my mom (who is wonderful cook in her own right) and she loved the homemade freshness and flavor of the food. Of course I had to taste everything and I agree!!! I would have though my mom had cooked that meal!!! Now ... on to the steak and cheese... can I say that it was creamy??? Well, the cheese mixed in the meat gave it a creamy taste that was sooooooo good. I'm sitting here writing this review and literally salivating. Support this business and became a fan!!!

Good food at a reasonable price. We were seated at a strange table that was part bar, part hallway, and barely in the dining room -- would not sit there again. Lots of people coming in and out for take out, etc.

Happy to see some Jamaican food in colonial heights especially since this area lacks diversity. The…read morestaff is very friendly and certain food items are made to order which is nice. I ordered the brown stew chicken and a beef patty. The beef patty could have used more filling however, the flavor was amazing. The brown stew chicken wasn't your typical brown stew chicken. The flavor profile was much different. Great flavor just wouldn't have thought I was eating brown stew chicken. The chicken seems to be grilled first and then gravy added to it. Not really sure. I definitely will go back and try other menu items just not the brown stew since it really should be called something else.

Food was good hot and fresh. They ran out of ox tails and Mac and cheese by time I got there.read more
