    INTRODUCING JOSE! changed into his chef uniform just for us!

    I can't say enough good things about owner/chef Jose and his staff. Came here in February for my birthday and everything was great. Jose is from Massachusetts and a long history with some famous great MA restaurants. Came back Saturday 07-04-26 with 2 friends and he was closing because it was dead. He let us come in, made us fabulous steak tips and onion rings and served us drinks - and all his wonderful staff had gone home! We had a great time listening to Jose raving about his beautiful wife and family that gave all of us hope for future relationships! This place is a gem. Just before we left, more people came in. Jose could have just told us he was closed but instead welcomed us like old friends. Will definitely be back! Now he's opened for breakfast! Can't wait!

    Meatball sandwich and fries.

    Still a pretty tasty food experience. We had the soup and grilled cheese sandwich and the meatball sandwich. We also had some amazing onion rings. Service is always excellent. Good meal all around.

    What a pleasant way to spend a Friday evening--dining at a small, quaint, family-owned restaurant. I was drawn in by the glowing reviews and decided to give it a try, and I'm so glad I did! The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. The space is quite small, with five tables/booths and a bar area with chairs, but it's well maintained and charming. The owner, José, and his staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive. I ordered a glass of Cabernet, and my wife had an iced tea. She chose the pot roast with mashed potatoes and a vegetable medley, while I had the steak tips with the same sides. Both meals were delicious and clearly homemade. The side salads were crisp and fresh, featuring a nice variety of vegetables. I should also mention that they have a full bar. For dessert, we shared a tiramisu and a cannoli--both were excellent. José, who is also the chef, is clearly passionate about his craft and takes great pride in the dishes he serves. He's a true entrepreneur, and it shows in every detail. One note: there seems to be a glitch with the app's reservation feature, so I recommend calling ahead the old-fashioned way if you want to reserve a table. Pricing was very fair given the quality, portion size, and thoughtful presentation. We'll definitely be back!

    Cheese burger and onion rings

    We love this place! Great fresh food and a welcoming atmosphere. Today I had the cheeseburger and onion rings. One of the best burgers I've ever had. Highly recommend the empanadas too.

    Wow! We couldn't have been more pleased. Excellent service, excellent food, wonderful ambience, and spotless place.

    The meatball sub and onion rings.

    This little unassuming spot is so much better than expected! It is small inside, so we found sitting at the bar to be the most comfortable spot. The service was quick, they checked on us continuously, and the owner even came out and chatted with us. We had the fish and chips and the heavy hitter meatball sub and everything was amazing. We had the chocolate mousse cake for dessert and it was delicious as well. We will definitely make this a frequent stop!

    Food was amazing. The owners are friendly and treat their customers like family. It's a small, cozy place.

There is a seating area to wait for your food, and plenty of seating. You order at the counter and your food is brought to your table. The gentleman that greeted us was super friendly and helpful. One of the things that I immediately lived about this place was that many of the dishes have sizes. I almost never finish a regular size plate, and ordered the smaller serving size, which was still a lot of food (my son has to finish mine for me). The portions were quite large. I loved the little extra touch of the flower garnish. I ordered the jerk chicken with fried plantains. This jerk chicken comes in a sauce, rather than the dry rub you sometimes see in jerk chicken. It was soooo yummy and so tender it literally just fell off the bone. The fried plantains were also delish. My son had the curry. He loved it! I think this place is well loved, as there was a constant stream of people coming in to pick up food while we were there.

I just about inhaled the whole entree as soon as I got home. Highly recommend Ocean Blue Caribbean and look forward to trying more items!

I did get the boneless brown stew chicken and I was expecting it to taste slow cooked and tender, it was dry even with the gravy on it. Maybe I should have just got the bone-in chicken. I did like the flavor but it definitely could've been WAY better. We also got the oxtails and they weren't as tender as what I have had in the past too. Again, not as flavorful as I would've expected. I was expecting amazing food and the flavor overall was just not what I expected, ESPECIALLY for how pricey everything was. My favorite thing on my plate was the plantains, that's it. Won't be going back. Upside is the service was great! Nice people and nice atmosphere.

Upon arriving, you find your own table, which already has menus for you. There is a TV in the dining area, which was playing the FIFA game. We tried the beef patty appetizer and it was yummy. I ordered the jerk, chicken pasta, and I liked that as well. You could really taste the coconut flavor, it was reminiscent of another dish I couldn't put my finger on. When you're done eating, you simply go back to the front to pay. Also, I think it's really cool that they have the table of local business cards as well.

What we didn't know was Sundays are limited menu but that was ok. We had already decided we had to try the Jerk Chicken and Mum's fried chicken which are part of Sundays menu. We were served in to-go boxes which I also believe is because of Sunday limited service. But that's ok because it did not change the fact that the food was outstanding! The jerk chicken was probably the best I've ever eaten. Huge flavors with a hint of spicy. I ordered it with the Caribbean slaw which was amazing (I'm a slaw snob). It is slightly sweet but really crunchy. Mum's fried chicken was delicious as well. Fresh and juicy. It came with steamed veggies which were, well, steamed veggies. I'm not knocking them but they are what they are. We washed everything down with a rum punch and a cucumber margarita. Both were tasty. The more I drank the rum punch, the more I liked it (coincidence? I think not). Both meals came with a small cup of sauce. I'm not sure what it was, but I am as sure it was really tasty. If you are looking for excellent Caribbean food this is the place. It's nothing fancy to look at but it does it right where it counts, that being the food!
