Caribbean Hut

customer service isn’t all that great. I’ve been here a handful times and the service can be slow. Other than that, the food is delicious!!! My favorite is the ox tail!!!

The curry and jerk chicken were great as was the rice and beans. The fried plantains were perfectly fried and tasted nice and sweet. Everything was seasoned to perfection and the service was good. I will most definitely be back. Keep it up Hut!

So for starters, I am not on any level or any kind of expert on Caribbean food but boy let me tell you. This place straight up blew me out of the way! I was shockingly surprised and beyond satisfied with my meal! For like 10 bucks I tried not only the famous jerk chicken, but also the curried chicken. Until the other day I had never tried either one of those foods at all. I will absolutely go back and visit here again. I really did love it! And they’ve got an amazing homemade drink called Irish Moss there too! Last but not least, I am quite hesitant when it comes to trying strange, new or weird foods but I urged up enough courage to try my friends curried goat and ox tails and just for the record. I would’ve never known either one would have turned out that good. This place may not look like your fine dining sort of place, but you surely do get what you pay for and it really was absolutely delicious! I cannot wait to go back. Two thumbs up Caribbean Hut!

Wow, this place is crazy good! My husband got the ox tail and goat combo and it was absolutely delicious. I got the Jerk Chicken and it was equally wonderful. It would make Shawn and Gus proud! The portions were huge. The curry reminded me of the signature dish my Jamaican friend used to make years ago. It’s a small place, in a strip mall, off Woodlawn Ave and definitely worth the trip. We will be back soon.

Oxtails here are to die for! The stir fry shrimp and curry goat is also good here. I don’t care too much for plaintains so I ask for extra cabbage instead. The employees here have always been very nice and helpful. A must try if you’ve never had it.

Right off the bat, let’s drop the pretense: you’re not here for the ambiance. What you are here for is damn good Jamaican food, in a town devoid of other options. They make their own patties. They have cocoa bread. The ox tail and curried goat are out of sight. Even the veggies that come with the entrees are fantastic: cooked, but firm and delicious. And the jerk is yummy. All the sauces are rich and you can tell that they’ve been making this food for generations. If you’re nearby and it crosses your mind, go for it; you won’t be let down.

Yum! I had curried goat and jerk chicken. The curried goat was about as good as I had on the islands last year. The jerk chicken was more of a wet type with a sauce on top than the dried rub style I am used to, but all was good. DO NOT LISTEN TO Unilocal’S DIRECTIONS, it circled me around the block and led to the back side of a hotel. Google got it right, it is on Woodlawn next to a raw bar and down from The Gentlemans Club (at the other end of the strip mall).

I went to this place once a long time ago before it was bought out by the current owner and management. The food was horrible then, but talk about a complete turn around! This is the best Caribbean food I’ve had in years, bar none! The bold flavors, the spicy entrees you are supposed to expect in this cuisine are present and highlighted. I got the ox-​tail and jerk chicken to go today, the place was was calm and quiet seeing as it’s a day before Christmas eve. I got home and the pungent aromas hit me like a favorite toy under the tree on Christmas day (excuse the Christmas spirit). Once I tasted this food I knew I was hooked for a long time, the jerk is as bold as you’d find in one of those Jamaican restaurants when you’re on vacation in Montego Bay or any other road side restaurant there. The undertones of cloves, peppers, thyme, garlic, onions etc in all the dishes, you can’t go wrong!

Fantastic food, and very helpful staff, reasonable prices, definitely go! And get the chicken patties and combo

Giving them a 4 because the jerk chicken is delicious, 1^st time I had the curry shrimp. The curry shrimp was good but felt it was missing something… the jerk chicken definitely pushes that 3star to a 4. Yum yum

I stayed at a hotel on Woodlawn to be closer to the airport after spending the previous four days uptown. Being the self-​proclaimed foodie I am, the first thing I did upon arrival was start looking for places to eat. After doing a Unilocal search, I realized most places in the area had three or less stars (not a good look). When I stumbled upon Caribbean Hut, I noticed it had 4 (I believe). Knowing what I know, I know not all Caribbean people make good Jamaican food. So I started looking at the individual reviews. I saw enough positive comments to make this my dinner choice for the night. Upon arrival, the first thing I noticed (besides the music) was the young man inside cleaning (always a good sign). The second thing I noticed was the smell. There was a slight hint of food, but it didn’t smell like an overwhelming greasy spoon smell. It smelled like good food and that worked for me. After pondering for a few, I noticed traffic beginning to pick up, so I knew it was about to be on. I settled on the oxtails and curry goat with rice and peas. Let me just say I was NOT disappointed. Best Jamaican food I’ve had in a long time. And I was craving it. My only two complaints about this place were they didn’t have any beef patties (only chicken) and the curry goat was a tad salty. Yes, I was in a beef kinda mood that night. Next time I’m in Charlotte, I’m going back. Thumbs up.

WOW the Curry Goat and plantains were incredible I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for something different and good.

If you enjoy oxtails, rice and peas it’s worth a try. If you like roti, please pass and try something else on the menu. The potatoes and curry chicken were fine, but there was no channa. The roti skin was hard, to the point that when I bent it, the bread split. I’ve never had that before, and I’ve eaten some underwhelming roti. My Trinidadian Mom dryly stated, «That’s what you get buying roti from a non-​Trini establishment.»
My friend cleaned his plate, so all is not lost. Just pass on the roti.

Really Really good food especially the Jerk Chicken which I love! I found this place by accident someone told me about a burger place in the area so I drove to the area to get a burger from the burger joint but noticed a Jamaican Restaurant next door… so I was like I have to try this place out! Best move I made :-) …staff is really friendly and this spot is becoming a weekly visit from me :-) …enjoy & BLESSINGS!

Went here on a recommendation while staying at a nearby hotel. Nice mom and pop type place with really good food. Very small menu of authentic Jamaican food. Got the jerk chicken, spicy and flavorful but watch out for bone fragments. Reasonably priced and friendly service, if you’re in the mood for something different you’ll be very satisfied.
