First try at Oxtail, WOW! It was delicious. The sauce was rich and savory with the most tender meat. We also tried the jerk chicken. Totally enjoyed the spices and bbq sauce was great. The fried okra was crispy. The cabbage tender but not mushy. This store front restaurant has a comfortable atmosphere with island vibes. Also we enjoyed the attention of the friendly staff. read more

Fan-friggin-tastic... Strip mall locations are sometimes diamonds in the rough, but this place was an absolute emerald! From the greeting at the door, to the chef-delivered yumminess that followed, Caribbean & Soule is not to be missed. Ox tails...typical fall of the bone presentation, but the gravy/roasting sauce was a complex combination of ridiculously good flavors. It took me less than a minute to ditch the fork and knife attack and go hands-on. A side of the sauce was included, which made for a perfect dousing for the delicious dirty rice and beans. Fried plantains, done perfectly...firm and not gooey, made the plate lick-able. Worth every penny, and a "do not miss" if you're in the area. Forget buffets for a day and treat your senses to Jamaica's finest!. read more

First time visiting based on recs from staff at the Lincolnville Museum. Dined in mid-afternoon on a Tuesday. There appeared to be only one person working. She apologized for being short staffed and out of several menu items ... pretty much everything I wanted to eat. In spite of that, there was not a long wait for the food. We ate a veggie plate and jerk pork plate. The jerk was a little too spicy for my lunch guest and a bit fatty. My veggies were tasty and portions were hearty. There were a couple of dine in and take out customers while we were there. There is no outside seating. There are booths and bar seating. The venue and bathrooms were clean. Typical island decor and reggae music. read more

Great flavors pushed it to a four. Missing menu items was the reason that was going to hold it at a three. Did their crab cakes with a side of beans & rice (yummy) and the shrimp curry was home made, and the collard greens stellar. The Coco bread was not bad, fresh, and also high-carb. That's probably the fun of it! We were the only ones there on a Wednesday evening but the food took a half an hour-- we weren't in a hurry. It also means it was all done fresh, from good ingredients. The two sources of audio, one from the TV and one from a reggae music source, was a bit distracting. It's a clean and friendly place, and the chef makes his own hot sauce which is very very good (you must like it hot, but it's not unforgivably hot). Good small operation; not a lot of seating but a table for six-eight friends could be done. Has booths and cafe tables. We're enticed to go back. read more

My sister and I dropped in on a whim and are so glad we did. She had the oxtail, I had the jerk shrimp. We also had okra, mac & cheese,plantains,and dumplings. I took a bite of my shrimp, put my fork down and slapped the table. Without a doubt, the best jerk ever. The oxtail was so flavorful and melt-in-your-mouth. My sister said she's never had any that good. We are traveling and decided to eat here for a 2nd night in a row. Who knows when we will ever get a chance to come this way again. The owner and her daughter are both delightful. Don't expect a quick meal if you are rushed. Food this good takes time and is worth every second of the wait. read more

They are open again! This charming restaurant was closed for a time and I missed the fabulous ox tail and rice and peas! It has reopened under new management and they have retained at least one of their cheerful helpful servers. The place has been remodeled. New floor and comfortable booths. The food is still the best for miles and the prices are affordable. We stopped in for lunch yesterday and I ordered the oxtail and my wife the curry chicken. We had a meat patty as an appetizer which my wife thought too sweet but I enjoyed it after adding some of the homemade hot sauce which was fantastic! To our surprise they had run out of chicken curry but it was worth the wait! They discounted or bill by ten percent for our trouble! The chicken and oxtails were great and anyone who appreciates great Jamaican food will love this spot near Flagler hospital. Give them your business!! read more

After waiting for 2 hours for our food, the jerk chicken was good & flavorful along with the steamed cabbage. The peas & rice were okay. My husband said his collard greens were cold & the Mac & cheese was good but, wasn't temperature hot either.

I can't complain, I'm hungry again and wouldn't mind eating from here again!! I rated 3 stars because i can lol. The food was good. Now I believe I order curry goat with sweet corn and I mean the corn was sweet, atleast smelled sweet yet the taste wasn't expected. Still good though, I just can't recall the seasoning although I'm familiar with it. The goat did not have curry on it at all, yet it was very tender and that was a good thing. I only had one piece that was gamy and I don't want to taste that at all. For 10 dollars I can't trip but I will mention a Haitian restaurant I ate out at in Las Vegas... Now they can cook!!

This was my first time going to Caribbean & Soule Restaurant. I'm always on a search for good Jamaican food being that I'm from Jamaica. Now on to the review. Upon entering the establishment the vibe was there so I immediately got excited. The place was empty, just my wife and I and the two people that I assumed worked there. The person behind the counter handed us a menu. my wife and I glanced over the menu real quick because we already knew what we wanted. my wife asked for soup and I got jerk chicken, rice and peas, plantain. Those are the foods we use to see if a Jamaican/ Caribbean spot is going to be good. The soup was delicious I would get it again. the Jerk chicken "was not" jerk chicken, it was baked chicken with jerk sauce on top. it had ok favor. Now the rice and peas was ok but it was dry. on top of that I didn't get a Jamaica style serving (all Jamaicans know what I'm talking about). price didn't match the light weight food (add more food or cute price). Wait time wasn't to bad. Customer service was great. I will be back to try it again. read more

We inquired about an over water tiki hut and were told they stop seating those at 8pm because it gets dark. That's fine. Was told a 45 min wait, we agreed to join the list through yelp. We asked for first available, indoor or outdoor. On the plus side, the wait ended up being closer to 30 mins. However, there were tons of free tables the entire time we waited. Tiki huts were empty. The whole inside only had 2 tables sat. We asked to see a menu while we waited and got an audible sigh and eye roll. When our table was called, the hostess called 4 other groups at the same exact time, leading to a lot of confusion. As we are sitting and eating (it's now 9:30) a couple walks in. They're led to a table on the patio and asks to go into a tiki hut instead, which they are promptly sat in after they clean it off. So we asked our waitress, what's the deal! She said oh just ask the hostess and they can put you on the list for those huts. So not sure what happened. Overall- ambience 8/10 Food 7/10 Service (waitress) 10/10 Management (hostess) 4/10 Not sure if we'll go back because of the disorganization, unnecessary wait times, and rude hostesses.

I ordered a spinach and cheese empanada and it was very flavorful and my son got a piece of flon, which was a new experience for him. Although he didn't care for it, I did eat it the rest and i thought it was pretty good! Glad we stopped by but wish we had come here first!

The ordering process seemed chaotic but I ordered two Cuban sandwiches and a Cafe Con Leche for lunch. Told the wait would be 15 minutes, we sat outside in the meantime. After 25 minutes and no sandwiches, I inquired inside as to the status - finally, five minutes later the sandwiches were ready. However, no Cafe Con Leche . Again went inside, waited for the front desk server to process several orders before I could ask about the status of the drink. Nothing had been made, so another five minutes for the drink order. By this time I was plenty hungry, and was disappointed with the Cuban sandwich. It's basically a toasted ham sandwich, nothing particularly unique about it. Given the hassles just getting the meal entailed, not a great experience.

Read the reviews for this place, was hungry wanting something different so my hubby drove us there…read more Walked up, a nice gentleman greeted us, told him we're newbies and asked what he would recommend for a burrito, he recommended the jerk burrito which I obliged and my hubby ordered the Baja beef, we also ordered the jerk chicken riblets. Couldn't wait to taste as a young friendly lady completes our order. Friendly man and friendly pretty lady- I wanna slap you both cuz this food is so damn good!!! Riblets- couldn't stop eating them and will return to get more while I'm still here and some for the road home to Atlanta, Ga. Burritos- are large and very good, again we will be getting more tomorrow or Wednesday for sure. I took pictures of the riblets but not the burritos, but will when I return. I hope this food is low in fat if not I'm going to have to walk this off.

We ordered the jerk chicken platter and 12 jerk chicken riblets. Brief conversation later, we leaned the chef was from NJ too and was a surf instructor at the Asbury park beach. We got talking for a bit. Now for the food, the first bite was quite a pleasant surprise and we thoroughly enjoyed the food. I love the coconut shavings on the jerk chicken, took it another level. The rice platter was great - Spanish rice, jerk chicken, chips, fresh guacamole, avocados and fried plaintains. Quite filling. Overall, I loved the food and their simple menu. They have a table or two right next to the truck. It's the same place as GameStop's parking lot. Quite a truck, hard to miss. Will definitely recommend!

Servers were friendly, a bit on the "chill" side but honestly just giving off the "island vibe". One thing to note, there appears to be and "indoor' type dining area and then a more outside, screened in type area. We accidentally entered to outside area and sat there before realizing this. It was a pretty pleasant evening and they did engage the fans out there but if it's a warmer period you might opt for Inside Dining. We had draft beer, the amber lager made for Mango Mangoes, Tasty and cold! Here's what is surprising, the menu is pretty varied but it's not so complicated that you get exhausted looking at it. Just enough to give everyone a choice and we were all about it. I had the Chipotle Shrimp Tacos with seasoned fries as my side. Really good! I was worried the Chipotle treatment might be overwhelming the shrimp but it was pretty subtle and the shrimp came through. There are plenty of sauces and seasonings on the table if you want to amp up the experience! Others had the Daily special Reuben, which they thought was a pretty standard Reuben but VERY good and worth a return trip just for that. Another ordered the Corn Cake, entree version, 1 Cake and it was a large serving! Everyone left very happy and agreed this was a great choice!

Showed up 45 mins later, right at the time the food was supposed to be ready for pickup. When we arrived, they had not even started our food and said it would take another 15 minutes. Since we'd already paid, we decided to wait . 25 minutes it was finally ready. When we got to the hotel, it was apparent this was not authentic Jamaican food from the appearance alone. What was supposed to be red beans and rice was plain rice with a handful of green peas in it. The oxtails were tough and tasteless, the rice a mushy mess and the macaroni and cheese a gooey and bland. The sorrel and ginger drink tasted like gasoline- I have on idea what was in it. After paying a hundred dollars for two plates and two drinks, I was highly disappointed. I never expected to get this level of low quality food in Florida. The service was already bad - I would have forgotten that if the food were tasty. Instead it was just insult added to injury. What a waste of time and money!

Even with a full house--which makes total sense since people drive for miles for their amazing food--the service was flawless and we had a great celebration! We were seated in the back area, sharing the birthday energy with another lady celebrating her special day too. Our servers, Jenna M and Eva, were fantastic. They were prompt, incredibly friendly, and gave all excellent, informative menu suggestions that made the celebration feel even more special. Everything we ordered was perfect. The main seafood courses were freshly cooked and delicious, the salads were wonderful, and they have a great selection of sides with perfectly prepared fresh vegetables. Schooners truly delivers it all: a great atmosphere, excellent food, fair prices, and top-notch service. It is easy to see why so many of our friends keep coming back here. Thank you, Jenna M and Eva, for making my birthday celebration even happier! We will definitely be back. Debra & Dennis Strickland Jacksonville, FL

I ordered the Media Noche sandwich, which is normally one of my favorite Cuban sandwiches. I paid almost $17, and for that price I expected something really good. Instead, the sandwich was disappointing in both flavor and quality. I've had much better Media Noche sandwiches for a fraction of the price. Then came the café con leche--almost $7! At that price, I honestly felt like I was paying more than I would at Starbucks. For a Cuban restaurant and bakery, café con leche should be one of the things they absolutely get right, especially when charging that much. To make matters worse, the food kept repeating on me all day, which made the experience even more unpleasant. I don't mind paying higher prices when the quality, flavor, and experience justify it, but this simply didn't. Nearly $24 for a sandwich and café con leche that left me disappointed is way too much. Unfortunately, based on my experience, I would not recommend Paladar Cuban Eatery & Bakery.
