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

The owner Carlene is a delight and the food is delicious. This is one gem in St. Augustine that you don't want to miss. My entire family loves it when I bring home dinner from Caribbean & Soule! 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

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

Yea no.. not Jamaican food. Not even close. Service was good. Food, not so much. The owner said someone taught him and he definitely tries but misses the mark 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

Food here was great. Love the rice and peas. The service was also great. Very kind and helpful.

Very slow service, different prices on different menus awful Jamaican Rum Cake, juices overpriced! And I'm still waiting for my food! read more

In town for a 4th of July getaway; wanted something different and ordered Caribbean (delivered to our hotel room); was not disappointed with the meal; was delicious! I ordered jerk chicken, collard greens, and red beans and rice; my husband ordered bbq ribs, broccoli, and plantains. We both enjoyed our meals. 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. The lady at the front was very nice & welcoming but, if you don't have 1.5 to 2 hours to wait make sure you call your order in for pickup. The decor highlights Jamaica & their culture. read more

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!! Delicioso , anyways yes . #DM read more

My must go to spot whenever I'm in the area. Phenomenal food and even better customer service

Classic homestyle Caribbean cuisine that will blow your socks off! Oxtail, Jerk Chicken, rice and peas, dumplings are INCREDIBLE! Lady who served us was very nice and hospitable, however, they do run on island time, so expect a 25-35 minute wait on the food read more

This is an authentic Caribbean restaurant Oxtail & curry goat were very well seasoned & tender the rice n peas also well seasoned & the cabbage was delicious the young lady that served us "Carrie" gave A1 customer service my wife & I thoroughly enjoyed our experience read more

It's very true that it's the hole in the walls that give you all the food feels! Though the restaurant doesn't look like much it packs major flavor. We had the oxtail, rice and beans, Mac and cheese, and coco bread and we wiped the plate clean. The service was officiant, quick, and friendly--would definitely recommend! read more

In a town where "ethnic food" means a Chinese buffet or one of a dozen Mexican restaurants, the place shines above. Simple, flavorful Jamaican food. Beef patties, um..best we ever had. Oxtail, excellent. Jerk pork, wow. Cornbread, Mac and cheese..all an attack on your taste buds. And of course, can't forget the super friendly, warm and welcoming owner. A++ read more

They have wonderful food! Love the jerk chicken and beef patties. But my favorite dish is the oxtail.

The renown goat curry that I assumed someone spent generations perfecting the recipe and laborious hours stewing arrived cold and a on plate. I love using a fork to scoop cold curry off the surface of a plate. Maybe invest in a microwave and bowls? read more

We love eating here. We often share a meal with an appetizer and just enjoy the unique environment. They have very delicious healthy food and superior service. It's like the best kept secret in St. Augustine. Once you eat there you definitely want to go back. With all this Covid and flu going around I don't know how they have enough chicken soup for the day. It is perfect ~ so yummy and nutritional. It's our favorite spot to go enjoy a home cooked meal and feel right at home. read more

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

1 star for the Jamaican decor and another for the service. The jerk chicken is probably the worst tomatoey chicken I've ever had. There was no jerk seasoning and that nice char from the grill. It tasted like a weak bbq sauce. The greens were a sugary no, no, no. The cabbage was tasty! They were out of bottled water read more

Beef Pattie's were out of this world. Ordered the ox tails. A little pricey and good but not great. Authentic food for sure and highly recommended read more

Jerk chicken, beans and rice, and fried plantains all delicious. Very friendly people. Definitely recommending to friends and family!

We absolutely LOVE this place! It is the perfect comfort food for us. While their curry goat and other dishes are great, it's the oxtail that keeps us coming back! Finger-licking good every time. Ms Carly always makes us feel at home. read more

Born and raised in St. Augustine but having recently moved home from New York, I was so pleasantly surprised to discover this refreshing family owned local spot. You can tell the meals were cooked with love and everything is extremely reasonably priced (I mean really, I would pay more!). The staff makes you feel right at home, even when just picking up a to go order, which I am especially appreciative of these days. Order the oxtail stew with a side of fried okra and collards. If you're looking for a heartier lunch, they have great lunch specials too! read more

Just had lunch their with my son. It is always nice when you enter and leave a restaurant to be greeted with a smile, and that is this kind of place. It was great that they have lunch specials around $7 to $8. We had the curry goat and also the oxtails. Both were very good and not a drop of food left on the plate but for a few bones. The place was clean and staff very friendly. We will defiantly be going back. read more
