Went 2 times in 2 weeks with friends and we all got salty food... This is definitely not a place for authentic Caribbean food. Owners/operators may be from an island but the cooking dose not represent that type of cooking. #Saltynospice read more

Staying nearby on business and came in for lunch due to the great yelp reviews. Very glad I did! I am not a frequent visitor to Jamaican restaurants but this is by far the tastiest Jamaican food I've had. Looks to be a family run joint. The service is friendly and quick. Food was awesome- had the combo with curry chicken, oxtail, cabbage, plantains, and pumpkin rice. Everything was delicious and I was stuffed! Definitely recommend if you're nearby- very close to the motor speedway. read more

They are never ready! No matter what time of day I go in I have to wait 30 minutes for basic items. Today I even called in and they told me the side wasn't ready call back in 30 minutes. Ok I can understand maybe you ran out but when I call back in the given time and it's still not ready the shit is ridiculous. How are you never prepared? It honestly sucks because their food is actually good. But when I am already spending an outrageous amount on food why should I be kept waiting all day? read more

Food was amazing had jerk snapper best in charlotte I usually frequent Caribbean hut but unfortunately after having this I'm switching it up customer service was also excellent and it was clean in there read more

Best Jamaican food I've had in Charlotte. And the lemonade....!!! I had the Jerk chicken with cabbage, pumpkin rice, and a side of plantains. The cabbage wasn't what I was expecting; however, it was delicious! The pumpkin rice was new for me and I was not disappointed. I couldn't even tell you what it tasted like. The plantains were on the small side but they were good. I'll definitely return. read more

Some of the best food I have ever eaten in my life. The curry chicken was so tender, I could cut it with my fork, and the stir fry cabbage was flavorful, but still retained its crunch. Highly recommend. read more

We ate here Sat. night with some friends. It is in the strip mall where my children used to take Tae Kwon Do lessons (shout out to Black Belt USA!!) The staff was a little over-whelmed by the crowd on Sat. night, but they were super nice and we were not in a hurry so we said no worries! The food was worth the wait! We had the curry shrimp with pumpkin rice, cabbage and plantains with the fried okra app. Our friends had the curry chicken. Everyone loved their food! Good size portions, beautifully presented, full of flavor. You can tell that they use super fresh ingredients. The owner even stopped by our table to introduced himself. He explained where he was from in Jamaica and was so friendly. You can tell they everyone there really cares about the food and making customers happy. We highly recommend Quidley's! We will be back for sure! read more

Excellent food. I recommend the fried snapper. My husband had the curry chicken and he really enjoyed it as well.

Loved the food. The best Caribbean food I had since i moved to Charlotte from up north. I been down here over 3 years and where I'm from we have a high population of people from the Caribbean island so I'm used to top notch Caribbean food and Quidleys is where it's at. They even have delicious snapper fish and oxtail and even some of the good Caribbean spots can mess that up. However i only gave it 4 stars because a combo dish meal is $16 and to me that's a bit pricey but the food is good so guess I don't always have to get a combo. read more

Service Service Service! Inattentive and dismissive from the moment you walk in. Not a smile seen or an apology given from staff at any point during our experience. Aside from that, the food was tasty. read more

If you're looking for good Caribbean food try Quidley's Delight at 11915 N Tryon St. Their number is 704-910-1781. They are right next to the barber shop. It's a lovely family run restaurant with both eat in and take out. Great food and friendly people. We should support small businesses like this! My mom and I had a wonderful dinner there tonight. I was really impressed with the food. read more

Two Words. Delicious. Food. This place would have 5 stars if it were not for the service being a bit slow. If you like Jamaican food you definitely want to give them a try. The oxtails, yams, rice and peas, and cabbage were all great! read more

This place was horrible I have no idea how it got so many good reviews. When I went they only had 2 chicken options because they where out of everything else. Chicken has the bone in so I was constantly picking through sharp bones. Beans and rice was mushy and tasteless. Not to mention there are no refills and flies everywhere. read more

Hands down THE BEST Caribbean food I've encountered in charlotte and I think I've tasted almost every Caribbean restaurant here. I had a curry goat/curry chicken combo plate with rice and peas, cabbage and yams and a side of pumpkin rice (just so I could taste it). The food was delicious and nicely played and more than I expected. The curry goat was low in bones and fat and the curry chicken white meat was moist and succulent. The location isn't the best but it was definitely worth the drive. Nom nom nom read more

Quidleys Delight - Curry chicken/curry goat combo (so appetizing almost forgot to take picture) - Caribbean Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I eat at this restaurant at least once a week. My carvings are for natural authentic food. I love there food. I don't like that they run outta Mac and cheese but overall a great place to eat read more

Food is delicious... service is meh. Don't come here expecting great service but you can surely expect to have the best Caribbean in Charlotte! Try the oxtails read more

They do not hold back on the portions the buttery shrimp is to die for. This will be our go to spot for now on the others in the area can't compare read more

My wife and I truly enjoyed our first visit to Quidleys Delight! We do not have much experience with Caribbean food but I was impressed by the reviews on Yelp so we gave it a chance. Thank Goodness we did because it was awesome! The Curry Chicken was great, tender flavorful, stew-like. The pumpkin rice was very good, nice flavor, pretty color. The rice & beans were what you would expect. We tried the Snapper Brown Stew at the suggestion of the staff and it was quite tasty. A whole fish deep fried then stewed with vegetables in a sweet flavorful brown sauce. It takes patience to carefully pick out the meat and to avoid the fish bones. The plantains were so-so (my wife makes wonderful plantains) and finally the cabbage side dish was yummy too. The staff were so pleasant and friendly. The food took quite a while to prepare which I believe was due to the Brown Stew Snapper. read more

Best oxtail in I've had in a while, it was melting off the bone. The staff were very friendly, and the food was ready much sooner than I expected. The I got the combo and have enough to feed me for a whole. All in all, I'm pretty glad I found this place and can't wait to come back. read more

Didn't have Mac and cheese or plantains but overall the food was good! Would recommend that you call to see what sides they have ready before you go! read more

I ate at Quidley's for the first time this evening and it was amazing! I ordered the large jerk chicken plate with plantain and yams. I can't wait to go back. read more

Food was good, what they had to order, and the service was not. I wanted the jerk chicken salad, but they were out of lettuce. Half of their sides and not all of their drinks were not available to order either. Had to wait an hour and 15 minutes to get our food, and the waitress seemed to care less that we were waiting so long. It was also hot in the restaurant and the music was too loud. Overall the food wasn't worth the experience. read more

The food was amazing. The chef worked hard to renovate the place and has provided us with a great ambiance and delicious food. His passion reflects in his food. Loved everything. read more

Very good food. Great cabbage and coco bread! All in all a very nice meal. If you are in a hurry call and order take out. If not, sit back and enjoy the place. Really good food! read more

Very unpleasant experience as out of all the entrees, only jerky chickens is available at 7pm. Why would you even open?

My brother and I would give this place 6 stars if we could fast pick up nice service and amazing food. I'm a vegetarian so I got the curry vegetable roti and he got oxtail peas and rice with greens. my brother hates vegetable but today he tried my vegetable roti and said he's definitely getting this next time. We will definitely be returning here in the near future read more

Everyone working is so nice, good music, chill spot. good prices, DELICIOUS food! , great customer service. Will be back again

Literally the best Jamaican place around, I'm a huge fan of jerk chicken and theirs is among the best I've had, some with the goat and ox tail, AMAZING PLACE read more

Found this place on yelp by looking at the ratings from others & decided to give it a try. We came in in a group 10 & waited an hour by the time we actually gotten our food. The food was sooooo good that it made up for the time. I most definitely will come & again when I'm in town. read more

I'd love to give this place 4 stars but the wait and lack of good timing really brought our experience down. Great food, we had the curry chicken and shrimp with rice and peas and plantains. However we waited an hour for our food and were never asked about drink refills. We had a 5 year old with us and his mac and cheese was served 5 minutes after the rest of the table and was too hot to eat for 15 min. Again, good food. They need to work on timing and kitchen speed. Also they could use some shades on the windows as the lunch time sun was baking us through out the meal. read more

I have searched high and low since I moved to the south from N.Y. to find authentic carribean food..the heavens opened and out fell "Quidleys".. I can officially feel at home now! The food is amazing.. owner is hilarious! please all my fellow W.I please support.. i promiss you it taste the way its supposed to..I was about to give up on my search! read more

So I went here today because my sister, Yo has been raving about the beans and rice.....was disappointed that they were out of it today but I ordered ox tails, cabbage, and curry chicken....EXCELLENT food....Establishment is 1st class....Blessings to your business Quidley's!!!!!....keep doing what you all do. Joy S. read more

We did a takeaway on a Sunday for lunch and was very unimpressed. They did not have the curry or the fried chicken that was listed on their online menu. Left with not many choices we ordered the chicken stew was just ok. The jerk chicken felt like was made with ketchup-just too sweet for our liking. The rice and beans too was just mushy and lacked any taste. Felt stale almost. Safe to say that we will not be going back again. read more

If you are looking for some island fare, check this place out! Get any kind of shrimp!!!!! Delicious.

This is the best Caribbean restaurant I have experienced in Charlotte!! The food is amazing! You can tell that fresh spices are used to prepare everything. For me presentation is a PLUS! The presentation even in a togo plate is awesome. I've had the ox tails and the jerk chicken! Both were tender and falling off of the bone! For sides I have experienced the cabbage, which is beautiful by the way. The fresh pepper and colorful red cabbage are a pleasant sight. I've also had the yams and the plantains. Both of which were delightful. This place is great all thumbs up to a job well done. Not to mention the price! It's great everyone in charlotte or passing though the university area needs to try Quidleys!! read more

Worst customer service ever. I had to wait for an order I placed for two hours. I called to place an order and everything is fine. When I come to pick it up, I have to hear bs excuses like they ran out of food. Then I have to hear they are still making the jerk chicken even tho I ordered over an hour and a half ago. They are super disorganized here and I'm never coming back. They don't even have the decency to offer an apology or give you anything for free as a way to make up for the shitty service. Never again. Don't waste your money here read more

I LOVE the food here. You get your moneys worth and can taste the love and perfection in every bite. keep up the good work Quidleys!

This restaurant is well needed in our area. Been there a few times and this is what I saw. The place was very clean and staff very friendly. The food was good, but the curry chicken, Barbecue, and Jerk chicken was cooked too hard and burned( black). I feel they need more help. They run out of food lot and the wait for food is very long. I ordered Barbecue Chicken to go and when I got home to eat it I found pieces of oxtail and jerk chicken, no barbecue chicken at all. I love Caribbean food, and hoping they do better. read more

Mannnnn, the food was "sub par". Better off going to the Walmart down the street and getting a box of beef patties. ‍

Good Jamaican food. Fresh and hot. Get there early cause they do sell out. Brown stew chicken was excellent. Oxtails were small but flavorful. Whole fish was fried to perfection. The patties were awesome!! read more

See all
