So, I was very surprised that it’s 6+ restaurants in the locations, but I respect the professional hustle. The food was good! The portions was great, it exceeded my expectations. The owner was very nice when I asked several questions (it was extremely busy) I would recommend ordering before getting there, the wait was an hour. He got my food out in 35-40 minutes. The parking is terrible and the eating section is nothing fancy, but I’ll definitely support because it was clean and the food was good. The oxtails was delicious. The greens a bit salty, but they brought the heat w/ turkey(tender & favorable) meat! The chicken was tender. Cheesy Mac & Cheese!

Do yourself a favor and grab an oxtail cheesesteak! Absolutely delicious. I had this place on my list of restaurants to try in Charlotte for several months, I’m glad I finally made the trip! I hope they get some brick and mortar space for a sit down meal soon because I’m confident it will be packed. Definitely recommend and will be back.

FINALLY had #CravnCaribbean & it's good & the portions are real niceee. We ordered Oxtails, mac n cheese w.collard greens w.smoked turkey. The greens were kinda salty for me. Also Curry Chicken w.rice n beans and steamed cabbage 🥬 😋. My Curry Chicken didnt have a thick gravy like traditional Curry Chicken typically has & it had lots of broken & tiny bones in it. I definitely wouldn't order it again. So if you're on the Westside in Charlotte check em out y'all...

Y’all I’m going to be honest…this is the BEST Jamaican spot in Charlotte! I just went here yesterday and the food: 1. Looked BETTER in person than the IG pictures lol 2. Tasted BETTER than any food I’ve had in CLT in a long time 3. Had the BEST customer service I’ve experienced all year - which is saying alot This food is like that, like that and I highly recommend. Check it - the food was so good, we started thinking about our next order RIGHT after we finished the last bite…see y’all next week! What I ordered - Jerk oxtail and shrimp fried rice - Jerk chicken wings with Mac n Cheese & Collards Meal type Lunch Price per person $30–50 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Oxtails Mac and Cheese Greens

I was pleasantly surprised at how absolutely delicious everything was! My co-worker(family), & I had been planning for a few weeks to get food from here, but because our office is in Gastonia, & the hours of operation, it just hadn't worked out til today. We each ordered something different.. fried jerk wings, ox tail cheesesteak, oxtail fried rice w/shrimp, oxtaill fried rice w/ fried snapper, macaroni and cheese, cabbage, rice & peas, & plantains. Everything was cooked well, seasoned well, & the portions were good! We were all happy, & will definitely eat here again! Food: 5
This place is crazy. Set up in a ghost kitchen spot and that's a perfect name for it because when I placed my order it's like a ghost got it. It took over an hour and a half for them to process an order placed at the kiosk. Nothing crazy. Regular food that they have on their menu. The food was good but the service.....we gotta do better. Probably won't be coming back here again but if you decide to try it make sure you order ahead....at least they got the order right 🤦🏼‍♂️ Food: 4 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1
Orderd for online. Was not there to pick up, so not sure if this is drivers fault or restaurant, but portions given were very poor. Barley any rice, chicken or drizzle on my jerk. First time eating here and was excited, not sure if I will return again.

I’m kind of disappointed in having to write this, but I used to absolutely love this place. My last two experiences have been less than pleasant. First, myself and my partner ordered from here, she always gets the jerk wings, this time around her jerk wings were pink inside. It turned her off completely and out of the entire entree she was only able to eat 2 wings. Completely throwing her off she’s been a bit standoffish about returning. I should’ve took heed, as I ordered last night, I got the oxtail fried rice as usual. As I started eating, beginning to chew I bit something super hard and crunchy, resulting in my back took cracking. I’m not sure what I bit into but I’m very upset. Food: 3 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3

The food here is phenomenal, but the little lobby and the small seating area designated to probably six restaurants is a bit nerve-wracking. The wait from the time we placed our order was an hour and a half. I can not say that it was worth the wait, but the food was indeed delicious.

Being from the Caribbean, I am always looking for good Caribbean food in Charlotte. I came across this restaurant online and decided to give it a try. The process is simple, you order online and pickup at the location. I purchased the Oxtail and Brown Stew Chicken meals. The portions are large, the food was okay, I’d prefer it to be less greasy. Overall, the restaurant is a good option in Charlotte for Caribbean food. Service Take out Meal type Dinner Price per person $30–50 Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4
