I love my Jamaican food almost as much as my Puerto Rican food and I'm so happy I stopped in here…read moreat The Halfway Tree because it was delicious! I had the oxtail with rice and plantains and it was great, really great! The food was cooked perfectly and served in a very timely manner. There was really no waiters and waitresses, we was kinda on our own with finding a menu (besides the all pictures one on the tables) and ordering but it was a very comfortable experience. I personally felt at home almost. The lady behind the counter was very nice approachable with a smile that can light up the room. And for the price you pay for a plate, you get a mountain of food on your plate. I paid $12.00 for my plate of rice, oxtails and plantains which was well worth it. They serve so much that you have to take half the plate home with you in a clamshell box. Go for it!!!

So far this is the best jerk chicken I had. It is not spicy yet it was still flavorful. The mac & cheese was also magnificent.

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.

Food was good, was surprised how flaky the beef patty ($3 each) crust was and how flavorful the filling was. Got the oxtail with rice and plantains, very tender and well seasoned. Was only a bit salty at the end when it was just the rice drenched in the sauce but loved the rest of it. The veggie garnish and plantains on top were delicious as well.
