Best island food north of the islands. Spicy, flavorful, soul nourishing. Get the ghost peppers... if you dare. Very kind ownership. read more

Hands down the best jerk chicken in RVA. The oxtail, served twice a week (Wednesdays and Fridays) is sublime. And Moses always greets you with a smile and a genuine "how are you today?" Not to mention the portions are huge, had jerk chicken, beans and rice, cabbage and grilled plantains for lunch yesterday and the leftovers for an incredible late night snack. Cannot recommend enough! *Note, this place is obviously not permanently closed as reported. read more

This is the best jerk chicken in Richmond VA. The food is amazing. All of the sauces are great if you're out in town and have some time, please stop by this food cart. It's amazing. I go there at least two or three times a week. read more

Delish, but I'm slightly worried about health code standards. Only slightly. Meh--it's worth it. The guy was nice enough to let me have some ghost peppers. For some reason, they weren't that spicy. read more

Caribbean Grill - Vegetable platter with rice and beans, mixed vegetables, and plantains all covered in hot sauce from the Caribbean Grill Food Truck - American Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

I am surprised that there aren't more reviews for this cart. This is the favorite cart for many of the students and staff on the MCV campus. Their food is so flavorful and the guy who works the cart is so friendly and personable and he gives you heaping portions. They offer items from jerk chicken to ox tail here and everything is delicious! Their small sampler is enough to stuff me for the rest of the day but I like it the best since it has the different types of chicken [their curry chicken is my favorite]. The chicken is always moist and comes with rice, veggies, and grilled plantains all for $7. They also have hot sauces that you can request to go on top of your food but careful-- it's really spicy!

By far my favorite food cart in the VCUHealth area. Located right on the corner of Sanger Hall, the food cart is homey and packed with flavor. My favorite is the Jerk Chicken Platter, a small is $7.00 and a large is $9.00 both of which come with rice, cabbage, plantains, chicken, and a side of lemonade. The workers are so incredibly nice and always so positive. Please give this place a try! read more

This food is very good and this mango-pineapple lemonade is to die for! That young lady is running this business solo. The long line ia there for a good reason. The food is very fresh and prices cannot be beat! I got the large sampler which includes: jerk, curry, coconut, and brown stew chicken, rice & peas, platains, cabbage, and a drink $9.00 This young lady is located at S. 10th & E.

Caribbean Grill - Large Sampler: curry, stew, jerk, and coconut chicken, rice & peas, cabbage, and platains - American Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

See all

Glad I took a chance on this place. I've been craving Caribbean food for ever. Since I've been in VA I haven't had any. I'm from Harlem where there's an abundance of Caribbean spots. I got the Small Sampler with Jerk and Stew chicken (my favorites that order at any Caribbean place). This came with rice and peas(beans), cabbage and plantains and a drink for $7. ($7.75 is the exact amount paid). The jerk chicken has a mild spice to it. If you handle spicy things well you'll enjoy it, if not I'd say just get stew chicken. Both are very flavorful. Rice & peas were perfect and I didn't eat the cabbage (don't usually like it. Should've told them no cabbage but I forgot). After my first taste, I was instantly planning to go back and get more for later. My boyfriend ordered a sampler with Jerk, Curry and stew chicken after tasting mine lol read more

Great flavor that I'd pay more for in a restaurant. The service is a little slower than other carts around the area, but that's mostly due to them cooking the meats and veggies right there in the cart. The folks are really nice as well. I didn't give five stars because they use bagged frozen plantains as a standard side, and it wasn't always that way. More consistent, but not as fresh. read more

I'm reviewing their food cart next to the Sanger building at VCU/MCV hospital. I ordered the jerk chicken salad and the blend of fresh fruit, veggies and spicy chicken, along with a relish curry dressing was so good for lunch! Good amounts of chicken too! I highly recommend! read more

Just got so excited when I found this yelp page that these folks had a physical restaurant so I could go back for dinner tonight. Until I realized the address was just the card location. SO GOOD. Curry chicken was greeeeat. I wasn't sure how spicy it was going to be so I didn't get any hot sauce -- super tasty, but it wasn't that spicy at all, so next time I'll definitely get some of that homemade hot sauce. Grilled plantains were perfect, although I rarely meet a plantain I don't like. Also, they had a really good set up, he had a giant bottle of hand sanitizer he used every time after handing money and had a pile of quarters set out for change. There was a really long line but it didn't take but 5 minutes for me to be walking away with my pile of food. Can't wait to bring my Haitian husband here and see how it measures up for him! read more

I decided to try this truck because a few people recommended it and they weren't kidding. You can't go wrong. I had 4 kinds of chicken and it's all sooo good! And the hot sauce is actually spicy! The guy working is super nice and the line goes fast, which is convenient because it can get crowded. The small size was plenty for me. You get chicken, rice, cabbage, and plantains for $7. BTW: Some of the chicken is still on the bone. Not an issue for me, but thought I'd point it out in case! read more

The food is always hot, fresh and mega flavorful! I love coming to the MCV campus so I can visit this food truck. I always get a small combo and normally can't finish it! read more

Caribbean Grill - Small combo is delicious as always! - American Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

I find myself craving this cart all the time. They have a sampler if you want to try all of the different types of meats they have to offer on top of rice and cabbage with a couple plantains to top it off, but the curry chicken is my favorite. It even comes in a pita! The shark sauce is super spicy. The guy who runs the cart is awesome and friendly, and will be nice enough to offer you a habenero if he notices you asking for a lot of hot sauce. And the platters come with a free lemonade! I could eat this everyday! The only thing I would avoid is the beef patty. You might be better off with the ones from costco or 7/11 if that's what you're craving. read more

Omg this food is fantastic! This is a treat every time that I eat here! You get a great amount even for a small and this is with the drink included ( a yummy lemonade). The guy and girl that run the cart are very nice. I enjoy getting the chicken with cabbage and carrots and a side of plaintains. DELISH! read more

I have wanted some Caribbean food for a few months now, and spotted this cart while driving downtown. Thought I would at least check the prices out. As I'm walking over the smell hits me. The people were very nice and helpful. I wanted some of everything so I got the sampler platter. $7-9 small or large. Jerk chicken Stewed Chicken Curry Chicken Coconut Chicken Red Beans & Rice Calypso Rice Cabbage Plantains And Mango Lemonade to wash it down. All for $9!! Everything was so flavorful and fresh. I have to get back to this place soon. read more

I love this place. It's my favorite lunch spot. However, it's disappeared the past couple months. Are they still in business??! What happened? I'd gladly go to their new location if I knew where it was. read more

Caribbean Grill now TAKES CREDIT CARDS. The food is still great. If you're hungry, I would recommend the "barbecue jerk", which is a helping of the already yummy boneless jerk chicken that gets briefly simmered on the grill with homemade barbecue sauce that has a sweet, gingery, molasses-y taste, served with the usual rice and beans, plantains, and cabbage. The sauce adds another whole dimension of flavor. Note that he only sells this dish in the large size, as it takes up extra grill space. read more

I got the sampler, and the best parts if it are the rice, pineapple and cabbage. If I ordered again, I would just get a vegetarian dish - the meat was cooked well I am just not a fan of dark, fatty chicken, Which I should have expected from a food truck :) read more

The food is good, the people are friendly but you have to catch them during the warmer season because during winter they are gone on vacation. And because they are so popular get there early because they tend to run out of the good stuff fast. Even though I've seen the prices go up over the years it's still pretty reasonable for cart food especially considering the fact that portions are big. read more

Just got back from a trip to Puerto Rico and I needed a similar fix. Boy was I glad I tried Caribbean Grill. SO GOOD. The red beans and race are very tasty the jerk chicken is cooked perfectly and well seasoned. Their Beef patties are excellent! Make sure you get them with Gravy, Onions, and hot sauce! The combination is killer. Highly recommend this food cart. Excellent for lunch. read more

I was not impressed with this place at all. I've been on the MCV campus for a few weeks and I had walked past this place a few times and saw that there was a huge line and thought, "Wow that cart must be pretty good." I later found out that that was not the reason why the line was so long. I waited in line for like 20 minutes at noon for them to start cooking and get set up. It took forever to get the food and most of it wasn't even warm and didn't taste very good. I got the sampler so I could try all of the meats and I literally only got like one piece of each meat and most of them were cold. The really upsetting part was that I was excited for the plantains that were supposed to come with the sampler and they weren't finished cooking them yet so they weren't able to give me any. The only thing I enjoyed was my soda because they had cups of ice for them and that was refreshing from a food cart. Other than that thiugh, I was very disappointed. I'm thinking maybe they were having a bad day because all of the other reviews were great but I dont thing that I will be trying to eat there again. read more

Is there a plus I can put with this 5 star rating? I don't care about the wait. The chicken is spot on. I don't even like cabbage and I eat the cabbage. The hot sauce is great. I buy the sauce in bulk and give to my friends as presents. Do yourself a favor and check it out. read more
