Food is amazing and portions are large for the price. Service is great and very clean and you feel the Jamaican vibe. So far I've only had the jerk chicken, oxtail, carrot cake and rum cake. Everything was so delicious but I must say there was definitely a lot of rum in the cake but so moist. Highly recommend. read more

One word AWESOME to everything'. People food owner just awesome. Professional, knowledgeable and friendly. read more

Caribbean 450 - Curry chicken - Caribbean Near Me - Palatka, Florida

See all

Came in on my lunch break, and let me just say hospitality for me is everything, and that is met here! I walked in and the owner immediately broke the ice saying I walked in so serious, which I did. I simply said I know I was thinking of a million and one things. I asked what was popular and he recommended a few items I opted for the jerk chicken with rice. I also got a passion fruit drink that was there. I took my order to go. Most of the time I waited he conversed with me which was really hospitable. The food was delicious, I will be back. The prices were great I ordered a mini for $5.95.That was just enough food for me. I will say do not judge a place or anyone for that matter by outward appearances, the exterior does look a tad run down, however, food was great, service was awesome and that goes to show. Give them a try you will be happy you did. read more

This is always my place for dinner when I'm in the area for work! The owner is great: the food is spectacular. I've been here at least a dozen times and never had a bad meal. It's honestly a bit of a shock to find great island food in Palatka, but here it is. read more

Tried about 5 different dishes. All I can say is GO HERE AND ORDER A BUNCH OF FOOD! Pig out, take the rest for meals later. Oh wow. Every dish had a distinctive flavor. The plantains and Crab cakes were the best I've had anywhere. This place is on my "must stop" list for down here. read more

I was looking for some food cuisine variety in this area, and Caribbean 450 was the answer. Caribbean 450 is available for pick-up and dining outside. There is no indoor seating, which is quite disappointing because the first time I was here it was raining. You can also call in advance to place an order. Parking lot is limited but since Caribbean 450 is more of a pick-up, to-go kind of place, the parking spaces are readily available. FOOD: Jerk Chicken (4/5): Served with rice and peas and mixed veggies. I am a big fan of this! There were about 3 medium size chicken pieces with a leg. Chicken was cooked just right and was not dry whatsoever. Ask for some gravy on your rice, for it brings out the flavor and tastes much better. Mixed veggies were pretty good but tasted slightly sweet to me. Recommend this dish if you're not sure what to order here. You have the option between regular rice or rice and peas, mixed veggies or cabbage. Seafood Trio with Tilapia (3/5): Served with crab rice, crab cake, and 3 hush-puppies. This was just decent for me. Basically, fried tilapia with other fried food items in this plate. Once again, the fish was not overcooked - just right. Crab cake was kind of bready due to the flakes, but it was a good size - about the size of a palm. Hush puppies were okay.. I mostly gave those to my friend. Crab rice was tasty with the seasoning throughout, which tasted better with a little hot sauce. Brownstew Chicken (4/5): Served with rice and peas and cabbage. The five chicken pieces literally fell right off! Flavors were all there. There were two pieces of plantain included as well. I devoured this because I was so hungry. Cabbage was okay, I'd pick the mixed veggies next time. I also recommend this if you're not sure what to order. You have the option between regular rice or rice and peas, mixed veggies or cabbage. Great variety served at Caribbean 450 for your craving of traditional Caribbean food, fried seafood, burgers, chicken wings, dessert, and more. Overall, fantastic portions at a great price. This place is so convenient and cheap! read more

The 450 seems to be a really good Caribbean restaurant! I say seems to be good before I have only visited once for take out. I was hurrying thru town and needed something different and quick. About 15 miles out of town I called and asked if I could pick up an order in 15 minutes. The guy that took my order said, "sure it will be ready!" As promised Eddie the owner had my order of curry goat, rice and peas, sautéed cabbage, plantains and a big hunk of coco bread bagged and ready when I walked in the door. When we arrived home twenty minutes later my wife and I enjoyed warm and excellent Caribbean food. The order cost us less than $12.00 and was plenty for two. To be honest, my wife had refused to stop at the 450 a few times in the past. After savoring the really tasty meal she commented, "let's go back there next week." The curry goat was really tasty, the plantains were golden and sweet and the rice and peas and cabbage were excellent. Eddie the owner was very personable and the interior of the restaurant was inviting. Yes we will return and try everything on the menu. read more

Listen you must try this place it doesn't look like the best but the food is automatic and delicious and affordable brown stew chicken with rice and peas and oxtails it was lunch we got the mini $4.50 . Delicious read more

Service was good but the food was terrible. The atmosphere was also bad it looked rundown on the outside and the inside was empty. The food is way overpriced and not $4.50 at all only 2 or three of the items are $4.50 and they are the mini size. Overall a bad experience and I don't recommend this at all. read more

Would definitely recommend this place the food is really good it's kind of hot priced but it's good and I recommend this place the service was excellent read more

This place is absolutely great! The vegetables are very tasty and awesomely seasoned. The rice with the gravy is to die for. The jerk chicken is super! Everything has the Caribbean seasoning and nothing was dry. OMG this food makes me want to keep eating but I am full already. Will come back for sure!! You do not want to drive by this area and miss out on this jewel of Caribbean food. Great variety in prices. The music they play is absolutely awesome. First time and I will be back. If you love someone tell them to try this place. You will not regret it. Place is clean and nicely set up. You can sit in or take out. This place is a must for a good plate of Caribbean Food. If they keep serving quality food, fresh and nicely seasoned I am sure people will catch on. Great tasting food! Keep that awesome music and Caribbean Vibe going. Love it! read more

If you are, by any measure, sensitive to exorbitant salt intake or trying to be mindful of the amount of salt in your diet, then I truly don't recommend this place. I ordered the jerk pork with dirty rice and mixed steamed veggies. My favorite part of my dish was the veggies, followed, by a wide distance, the rice. That should state the short of my experience. Yes, it's flavorful and had a small kick of being as we'd say in Spanish caliente, but it was too salty to enjoy the spice blend of their jerk. This is a mom and pop place and maybe I'll try again, a different dish obviously because I want to support small businesses. read more

Very good!!! Satisfying meal, good size portions. First time I've had plantain outside of the Caribbean that I liked. Will come back! read more

We stopped by this establishment for the first time tonight. We tried the jerk chicken, the curry goat, and the oxtail. All of it was absolutely delicious! We live about an hour away and vowed to come back often. The food was spiced and cooked to perfection. Not to mention the wonderful hospitality. This is your sign to try Caribbean 450!!! read more

We stumbled in here on our drive home. The last reviewer said to try everything, so we did just that! My favorite dishes were the Oxtail and brown stewed chicken. They even have fresh juices, carrot juice was delicious! Eddy greeted us with a smile and great recommendations. I didn't eat the rum cake til I got home but I was wishing I had ordered more of it! Thank you Eddy for the great experience read more

Oh holy moly! This little local place is so amazing I wish I had 3 stomachs to fill. Friendly people and intensely flavored food. The jerk chicken was smoky and fell off the bone, the catfish was crispy but not dry or gummy, and the brown stew was meaty and tender. Even the rice and cabbage were packed with flavor. Generous portions. Washed it all down with fresh fruit juice made in-house with love. read more

Very good food and flavor. Ordered the regular sized Jerk Chicken with white rice / ox tail gravy and broccoli. Plenty of food for lunch! One son ordered chicken wings and fries. The seasoned crinkle cut fries were excellent. Wings were good size and tasty. My other son ordered the jerk burger. It was plenty big for lunch and tasty as well. He also loved his french fries. I definitely recommend this for a tasty meal. Roomy and clean inside. Four TV's inside with Gators vs S.Carolina football on. Volume was not overly loud, however. read more

Don't sleep on this place! If you're looking for real island food, this place is it! They're polite, food isn't over cooked or tasteless, portions are good for the dollar and I haven't found a dish I don't like. I stop there whenever I'm in the area! read more

Perfect for those of us that eat fast food all the time and desire something close to a home cooked meal. Love the curry goat. Reasonable prices for the portion size. read more

Dis be da place mon! Having spent time down island and having had jerk chicken, pork and curry goat, this place is it! I got meals for four of my friends that live in the area and they all thought it was great. We got the Jerk Chicken, Jerk Pork, Brown Stew Chicken, Curry Goat and Curry Chicken and there was nothing left for the dog to steal. Everyone liked it and promised to come back. Great place and I think this is the first time I've given 5 stars on Yelp. When I come back I know where I'll be eating and they do have inside seating. read more

If you like spicy, this is a good place to find it. I don't know what authentic Caribbean food tastes like, but I'm going to guess this is close. I had the catfish trio which included a nice sized fried (not spicy) catfish filet, a large (spicy) crab cake, and some spicy "crab" rice. I'd never heard of this before, but it was really tasty. My husband, who doesn't care for spicy food, had a shrimp plate with 12 fried shrimp and some fries which he really liked. Spicy ginger beer which I really like, and Jamaican creme soda for Roger, were a nice change of pace for beverages. Both meals cost less than $20 which was a reasonable price for what we got. They had goat, but I don't have the nerve to try that. I think they do more carryout than restaurant seating, but they have plenty of seats. Give it a try. read more

Love the curry goat! Friggin delish! This place is an amazing nugget in our little town. We're lucky to have an unique eatery like this in a small community. read more

They catered a wedding and I can't say enough good things. Food was beyond delicious. Thank you for making the day that much more special.

Such a great place! I had the fried butterfly shrimp and it was the best ever! Support this little restaurant - it's wonderful!

This restaurant is outstanding for what it is. I've hit it for lunch several times. Always good, and an exceptional value. Get the cornbread. At first I was annoyed at the upcharge, but after having it, it was AMAZING! More like a desert than a side. All seating is outdoors, but I usually get it to go. Definitely worth it. read more

Great food, super cheap, friendly service! Almost everything is $4.50. Great variety!

This was my first experience at this restaurant and I was very pleased with my meal. I tried the goat curry and broccoli. The serving was huge and delicious. In my opinion, I think this is the best food in Palatka. I will definitely be returning. read more
