Seriously melt in your mouth. This place is an incredible restaurant with fresh, carefully made food. Would come back again and again if we lived here.

(Note: I've often found this restaurant space to be cold inside, even when it was Home 231.) We were served by an incredible young server, Jonathan, who looked after our every need. We were also visited tableside by Chef/Owner Geno Goodman, and had a nice conversation about the restaurant biz. Our food was delicious. We started with the smoked deviled eggs, which were nicely smoked and seasoned. B had a special, branzino, with collards and Mac and cheese. I decided on a small rack of ribs with collards and corn on the cob. Everything was simply wonderful. The ribs were falling off the bone and amply sauced. We were interested in desserts, but decided against until next time. That won't be too long. I think we have a new Harrisburg favorite! Thanks, Geno and Jonathan!

My reviews are different. I do not announce myself or tell anyone. I am here to do a review!!…read more As I find myself driving a semi-truck, those long stretches on the road always work up an appetite. Since changing my diet and becoming more of a fitness fanatic -- nothing like the Philly Fanatic, but close -- I've been more selective about what I eat. Still, Philadelphia holds a special place in my heart, and when I got off the road and I was craving a cheesesteak. I couldn't find a good cheesesteak spot in the Harrisburg area. I remembered the place off 13th Street, but they no longer sell cheesesteaks and the restaurant has changed. So I switched gears and decided to get some fish instead. It was only 9:30 PM, and At Hookers Seafood & Fish -- an amazing place based off the consistency but it had already closed at 8 PM. Back on the hunt for food, I stumbled across Got Jerk Island Grill and Juice Bar in Midtown Harrisburg. The moment I walked in, it felt like I was teleported straight into the heart of Jamaica. Caribbean vibes everywhere -- lounge chair up front, Bob Marley on the walls, and a laid‑back atmosphere that made me feel like I should've had a coconut water in my hand. I talked to the chef and told him to give me his best dish. He served me curry chicken, rice and beans, sweet plantains, and cabbage. I have to say -- it was the best curry chicken I've ever had. The chicken was tender, cut perfectly, and shredded apart in my mouth. It fell right off the bone, and the curry had just the right amount of spice so you could still enjoy the full flavor of the meal. That's when I knew the chef knew exactly what he was doing and chose the right cut of meat.

I first learned about B&L Caribbean Restaurant through social media and immediately added it to my…read more"must try soon" list. So when I found myself in Carlisle for Ice Fest 2026, it felt like the perfect opportunity to stop in for an early dinner and finally see what all the buzz was about. Quick logistics note before we dive into the food: parking can be a bit tricky. Metered street parking is available but the area stays busy, so be prepared. The Pomfret Street Parking Garage and nearby lot are great backup options -- especially when you're walking in sub-zero temperatures and just want to get inside somewhere warm as quickly as possible. We walked in around 3pm and were the only guests at the time -- not surprising given the weather outside, but stepping into the warm, cozy interior felt like instant relief. The man behind the counter greeted us right away and was friendly and ready to help. After surveying the menu (and trying not to order one of everything), we decided to sample both the traditional Caribbean offerings and a nod to their hot dog roots. We ordered the Jerk Rib Platter ($16) with macaroni and cheese and cabbage as sides, plus a lemonade ($5). We also added a Hot Dog Combo with fries ($8) topped with chili, mustard, and onions, along with a Diet Pepsi. Total came to about $35 with tip, which felt reasonable. While our food was being prepared, the screen behind the counter kept lighting up with new online orders, so clearly we weren't the only ones with this place on our radar. Our food came out quickly and looked fantastic -- generous portions without being overwhelming, which was honestly refreshing. Jerk Ribs: Absolutely incredible. Moist, tender, fall-apart-in-your-mouth goodness. The jerk sauce added afterward brought a delicious balance of sweet heat that built gradually without crossing into "regret" territory. Perfectly done. Macaroni & Cheese: I do not say this lightly -- this might be the best macaroni and cheese I've ever had. Big, tender noodles. Creamy, rich cheese sauce. Perfect seasoning with whatever magical spice blend they're using. I would return solely for this mac and cheese and feel zero shame about it. Cabbage: Another unexpected standout. Perfectly cooked -- not mushy, not bland -- just tender, lightly sweet, and finished with a subtle tang that kept it interesting. I wasn't sure about ordering cabbage at first, but now I'm wondering why I don't order cabbage more often. Hot Dog: A solid addition. Grilled (not boiled -- thank you!), topped with chili, mustard, and sautéed onions that elevated the whole thing. Fries: Standard seasoned frozen fries. Perfectly fine, but clearly not the star of the show with everything else shining so brightly. Overall, B&L Caribbean Restaurant absolutely delivered. Warm hospitality, incredible flavors, and a menu that already has me planning my next visit -- because I need more mac and cheese and cabbage in my life, and that fried catfish is already calling my name. No plane ticket to St. Lucia required -- just bring your appetite.

It used to be called Sad Seafood. This place has been around for years and has always been known for its amazing crab cake sandwich, but today I didn't want to catch any crabs, so I got myself some fish instead. I ordered the lunch special, and I must say, the mac & cheese is very good. The cabbage, of course, were a little bland--I personally would prefer a bit more vinegar. The fish was crispy with a nice seasoning on it, too. I think it could definitely taste better, though; personally, I like a little spice or "bite" with my fish. However, I guarantee it would pair perfectly with the sweet potatoes if it were just a little bit hotter! The pricing is very reasonable, and the amount of food you get for the size is delightful. I will definitely be back--maybe next time for some crab cakes and hush puppies, especially since there are no more Long John Silver's in the Harrisburg area.
