If you want to be ignored while you are ordering precooked food that takes 20 minute to get, from no less than 6 servers all seeming busy. This is the spot for you. It's regular Caribbean comfort food, but some how I managed to get cold over cooked fish jerky and hard fried, but cold plantains. Maybe the day food is better, but I got home to indifference on a plate and signed up for yelp right away. After this review I am ordering something to eat. If I were you I would think again about where you flip your coins. They already got my 13 beans don't let'em get yours read more

extremely awful food , extremely awful customer service!!! stay away from this place social distancing,you order your food then they take forever to serve you while having you wait while serving everyone that comes in after you! then think its funny when you inquire what's taking so long! they are not washing there hands like the rules say they supposed too! stay away corona virus!! food not edible! customer service will make you sick!! public service announcement!! 00 stars read more

I love the food and the staff gives a generous serving along with professional service.

Was there earlier today and the cashier was RUDE as hell, like if you don't like your job MA'AM maybe you should find something that you like. Because of the RUDE cashier the owner lost alot of business today, myself & about 8 of my coworkers. read more

I can't provide you with a picture because I threw the whole plate in the garbage. We ordered Ubereats for dinner,and the food was HORRIBLE!!!!! They didn't pay attention to the notes and got the order WRONG!! I ordered a medium jerk chicken with rice and peas,and macaroni salad. First of all the chicken was dry as hell. Instead of giving me a quarter leg like most restaurants do, they gave me pieces of cut up leg bones. The rice was lumpy and cold. I felt like I was biting balls of rice. Lastly, the macaroni salad taste like it's been sitting there for days. I use to be a frequent customer and I loved the food. However, something changed. The food taste HORRIBLE now!!! I wish I could ask for my money back read more

Love the food... is a more pricey C&j's. Almost identical however the thing that it does differently makes that spot better than C&J's (with the exception of the jerk which in my opinion is better at c&j's) They have a larger menu which is much welcome improvement. Especially, on the weekend were you can get some of my favorite dishes. I wish the weekend menu could be purchased every day. By only major complaints is the time it takes to get your food Especially because the food is already prepared. They should really try to revamp their serving system read more

Food is good, BBQ Chicken is way too tough feels like I am chewing for days until I just spit it out. Rice & peas is good along side some potato salad or macaroni salad. Now Customer Service with the young woman who takes orders at the register, she needs to change her damn attitude before someone slaps fire out of her. No need to be so rude & full of attitude 24/7. One day an older woman was in front of me in line and the register lady gave her the receipt and the older woman asked am I suppose to sign this? And the register woman replied, Well, aren't you suppose to sign receipts?" All I did was laugh because I was so glad it wasn't me she was talking to. But no one should have to be spoken to in that way when they are the ones paying you... read more

Maaaaan LISTEN Caribbean Vibes is hands-down the best Jamaican food in the area. The prices are very reasonable which is rare to come by these days and the food WHAT?! it always tastes like someone's granny is going ham in the kitchen. They never disappoint. Since I've moved to Lefferts I have treated myself to Vibes at least ten times. I recommend everything including the jerk pork, stew peas, chicken soup, curry goat...the whole damn menu. It's literally always crowded from the time they open to the time they close so be prepared to wait. However you get a number when you order so things are pretty organized. And although it's a no frills restaurant people always sit down and eat. This is a neighborhood gem that deserves your coins. read more

I ordered oxtail, dumplings and bananas and instead of getting oxtail, they served me a container full of fat. Clearly, this wasn't prepared properly. It's an on going issue; evidently they need to hire a new chef. Secondly, be prepared to wait 10-15mins to get your food because you have to wait for the staff to share their gossips amongst one another before they serve the customers. One star is by far too much, they don't deserve none. read more

Compared to the other places in the food wasteland that is Church Ave, the food here is good, most of the time. Other days it tastes like leftovers from the day before... stale rice & hard, grainy chicken. That's not the biggest issue, though. The biggie is that the staff here is so incredibly RUDE, the rudest I've ever encountered in any food establishment, no joke. Last week, I went to order food for 2 other people & the server was annoyed that I ordered more than one dish & sarcastically made a comment to that effect ??? I was stunned. I would assume she'd be happy that I was bringing the business money, but I guess not. The pricing also seems a tad suspect at times... I've noticed what they tell you at the register is usually a few dollars higher than what's posted on the menu. The place seems to be getting less & less crowded as time goes by, probably because of the horrendous service. read more

overall the food is not bad . I been going here for a while now . my biggest issue with this place is customer service . The workers seems to hate their job so the service they provide is horrible for lack of a better term . Fix it !! read more

Terrible customer service. The place wasn't even packed. I stood on line waiting for 5-10 min only to have someone who came in after me get served first. And when I pointed it out to the gentleman at the register he accuses me of having an attitude. This is my first and last time going into this establishment. read more

They have plenty of breakfast options from okra and Saltfish, to the fave Ackee and Saltfish. I've never been disappointed since I came. I stopped going to C and J, (the restaurant with the rudest staff and wait times )the first time I came here who staff is friendly and will crack a joke or 2 with u. Try their king fish or oxtail and rice and peas. My new yardie spot ..... read more

Spectacular food! However, the service is atrocious. I stood there for about 20 minutes waiting for someone to take my food out and give it to me after I ordered. So many idle hands doing nothing. read more

I've been going crazy to go here since I moved out of the area but today while on my way to the nail salon I finally got to stop in and get my favorite, stew peas with rice and peas and macaroni salad. Still taste just like I remember: Amazing!!!! Other food from here is good as well but stew peas(stewed pigtail with red beans and dumplings) is my signature dish to get. It's a must try restaurant. And surprisingly the cashier was nice today! HA! read more

Caribbean Vibes - Yummy-licious stew peas with rice and peas and macaroni salad. - Imported Food Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Love their red bean beef soup on Wednesday's, have to agree it's a bit intimidating to ask questions about the food / order when there's a long line behind you the workers are busy talking to each other instead of focusing on "customer service" .... so I just order what I know is good. Basically Don't expect great service, everyone for the most part are nice, maybe you won't get a smile but they might call you baby girl :) read more

The food is absolutely delicious! It never fails. They're reasonably priced and not stingy on the gravy. Lines can be long so prepare for a wait. It's worth it read more

I would recommend no one visit this restaurant. The service is horrible beyond with very rude loud staffs especially the cashier. I went there a few times just for the porridge and peanut punch and I can tell you its is the most unorganized and unprofessional and unpleasant restaurant I visited. I love to support black own businesses but I can tell I am never ever stepping my foot back into this place I rather go Hungry. My experience this evening from the cashier in this store was unbelievable. I can't believe the owner would have such a rude individual greeting customers or potential customers. I learned a great lesson this evening is not to support these classless restaurants that does not respect their customers. read more

Stopped in for a quick take out, we ordered the Curry seafood special. It was tasty and varied with crawfish, snow crab, Alaska crab legs, shrimp, and corn - a nice Saturday Treat. read more

Worst experience ever will not come back again! I been to this place before a few years ago with my sister when visiting New York, recently moved back a month ago and got back into west indie cuisine something that you can't get back in Cali so it is a novelty for me since I am from a west Indian background. I have come to accept that you not going to get great customer service in these places and in NY in general unless it is a high end type of scenery. But this was beyond ridiculous, yes I have to get use to stink bitch looks and against my better judgement should have not even bother going inside but was in the area so pop in. First off it was not even busy I was behind one person who was ordering complicated orders afterwards I was next the cashier in a rude tone ask what I want, her manner of speaking was notice by the person behind me who told the girl "why you have to have an attitude?" and stupid me should have end it right there instead I order, pay more than what I wanted for shrimp pasta/stew chicken and mad that I took such disrespect not only that the bitch handed my change rudely as well. I just have to say the food is ok but not that great for the way they treat their customers shit I am providing my time and money that keeps you guys in business and there are literally 10 west indian shops near by so for now on I will be going to Bake n Thing near my block or anywhere but Caribbean Vibes. read more

I'm not sure if I'll ever go this place again. They really SUCK with their customer service, I tell you. Food is good but customer service is behind disgusting. It's horrible and deplorable. Idk if it's a West Indian thing the staff are ridiculously rude. Caribbean Vibes is by far the worst food establishment I ever experience. How can the staff served food with stink faces, rushing people to order with attitudes for no apparent reason. You unhappy/upset/mad don't work there, find something else to do, plain and sample staff. This place don't deserve any STAR at all. read more

So so sorry I posted a negative post about this place last night and it was the wrong restaurant..so so sorry

Picked up food for a holiday party as this is what the workers requested. I called prior to make sure everything was prepared and ready according to contract. I was told yes and it took me about 15 minutes to arrive only to be told they needed 15 minutes to cut up the jerk chicken. Great, because I really don't have crap else to do. The staff is definitely not welcoming or friendly. They just seem angry to be at work. Nevertheless, the curry goat was good, very flavorful. The "jerk" chicken should be called bbq. There is no taste of jerk and it was extremely dry. Am I in a hurry to go to a place to feel unwelcome. Hell no. I rather cook at home. read more

A bunch of rude and angry Jamaican women. They get angry if you ask any questions about the food or try to add something to your order. By far the worst service I've seen. The women would congregate together in the front instead of serving the food and moving the customers. One time they were on Instagram they all had their phones out chatting completely ignoring the fact that there is an entire store filled with people waiting to be served. I even saw them cursing at this one guy and tell him move out of the store. They never wear gloves to serve the food and there is a lot of chatter over the food. This restaurant needs to step it up as far as putting these women in line and training. They lack service experience and etiquette. read more

Food is good. The absolute worst service ever!! The staff is horrendous. They are so damn slow it's ridiculous. Some of them are holding personal conversations when they should be fixing orders. They rarely look happy when dealing with customers and it doesn't matter what time of day you enter. The women behind the counter look unhappy at 7am, 3pm or 10pm. It's chaos behind the counter which is horrible when you have an establishment that is always jam packed with patrons. On the plus side customers do get a lot of food for their money, there's a lot of variety and the food is fresh. They also open very early for breakfast and stay open quite late. Love the oxtail. Love the curry goat. Love the stew peas. I get their beef soup every Saturday! read more

I been buying food from this store for a while now but last night I had the most nastiest experience in my life. I made a purchase but when I got home and started eating I noticed a long strand of curly hair in my food. I notified the store and I spoke with a manager, she told me to come in to get for a refund with no hesitation. Upon back arriving back in the store I was greeted by this so call non professional assistant manager and his approach about the situation was very nasty. I was was in disbelief that someone in a customer position was dealing with the situation in this manner. After this review I will report this to the consumer affair. read more

I went into this establishment some time ago and made a simple order and I simply asked the cashier (nicky) after waiting close to a hour and a half for my food that what's going on because I have to be home at a certain time and I've been for so long ... she began to get high rate and very disrespectful towards me I'm the type of customers that patronize this restaurant almost every other day and be treated like that is disrespectful and it doesn't stop at her other food servers are very disrespectful and not patient with customers treating both young and old horribly my money will not be spent here any longer I refuse to let this malnutrished bitch talk to me like that further more people need to take a stand until these jamaican restaurants can act right! read more

BEST BEEF PATTIES EVER!!! I also had the Curried Goat and it was delicious. My coworkers got the ox tail and it was just as good. For great Caribbean food look no further. read more

Expensive for no reason they charge and tax for everything. The curry chicken is ok. The mac salad has too much sugar at times. I have had food twice here that was cold. I don't like the stew chicken as much. They really fell off. read more

Lol if you get a chance order a combo of oxtail wit fried jumbo shrimp w rice n peas and sauce! Can u say lit? read more

if you want to be treated like shiiii don't come...omg they have the worst customer service ever.....completely rude!!! i'm never returning!

Best oxtails around! The food is great but the service is trash. The cashier and servers have attitude for days and they will almost always mess up your order if you're not paying attention. Be prepared to wait, there's ALWAYS a line. read more

I had the brown stew chicken with rice and peas and macaroni salad, the food was flavorful, the service was good, the restaurant was clean, and there was a lot of options on the menu to choose from. And the food looked very appetizing once you enter the resturant! This is definitely my new favorite spot! read more

If you're looking for Caribbean food with an authentic well seasoned taste this is a great restaurant to get food from. Unfortunately, I am forced to give it 3 stars because the systems and protocols in place as well as the customer service is subpar. If you aren't use to how they operate at this restaurant, one wouldn't know that you need to order first with the cashier. Once you order and pay, you then have to wait for one of the 6 people behind the counter to select your "ticket/receipt" from a stack in no particular order just for your food to be placed in a to-go dish and packaged to get you out of the door. Well this can take about 20 minutes or more, even though all food is usually ready and on display buffet style behind a protective glass. Many of the employees seem to be turning around in circles behind the counter and would be more efficient if they would form some sort of assembly line. As you wait for your food, chances are you would have built up so much anger and frustration from watching the disorganized staff and their inability to get your food shared and to you in a timely manner. Sadly, businesses like this will continue to stay in business with no improvement because the food is amazing. It is truly a poor reflection of the management team and the business should really examine their practices in an effort to strive for a more efficient system. Customers should leave satisfied by the service they receive while in your establishment, as well as the great taste of the food they have purchased. It is unacceptable that if you have ticket number 300 and you're staring at the food you ordered in the display, someone with ticket 305 is being serviced and leaves the restaurant before you. Excellent food here, but horrible customer service and super long wait. read more

Great food but the SERVICE SUCKS - the servers especially the cashier have an attitude for no reason. It happens every time I go there, it's sad because the food is great. They really need a new staff. attitudes for no reason. read more

love all their food.. ALL OF THE FOOD .. BUT wish staff serving the food would serve according to ticket numbers. they sneakingly and boldly serve their friend before you ..regardless of how long you there waiting . also they should call your number before start sharing your food ..so you can actually see and guide them accordingly.. read more

Caribbean vibes is an amazing restaurant, kind and wonderful staff with plentiful portions of their food. I've been multiple times on my trip to Brooklyn and I would recommend it to everyone and anyone looking for a delicious meal of Caribbean food! read more
