FANTASTIC!!! The young woman at the front--handling both the register and plating the food--was incredibly friendly and provided excellent customer service. She made the experience even better with her positive attitude. The food was top-notch! I'm usually not big on franchises, but this location is consistent and absolutely delicious. We had the oxtail, which was tender and falling off the bone with amazing flavor. The curry goat had the perfect amount of spice, and the jerk chicken was just as delicious. The mac and cheese looked a little dry at first glance, but it definitely wasn't--it was rich and flavorful. The cabbage was perfectly cooked, and I loved the addition of carrots, peas, and corn. The rice was cooked just right as well. Highly recommended, and we will definitely be returning soon! read more

It's in a plaza so tons of parking. This location has seating available although most people were getting theirs to go. When I went to order, I had questions. Staff was helpful. I ordered a veggie plate with some gravy over it and a chicken patty. The veggies were really good. Loved the gravy. I didn't eat the Pattie because it didn't look like chicken. I called and they were willing to replace it. Good customer service, great food, good location and parking. I will be back. read more

I have been here several times since moving to the Gaston area. I typically get the same thing...stewed chicken. I enjoy it. It's not spicy whatsoever, and I am good with that. I don't like my food spicy. But the restaurant is always clean, and the food looks to be well prepared. The food is always hot and tastes really good. No complaints my way. The service is great. The music can be a bit loud. I had to ask the young lady behind the counter to repeat herself a few times because I had difficulty hearing. But I come here for the food, which I will be back for again. read more

Hands down one of the best Jamaican options in the Clt area. Love this particular location of theirs! Friendly and the flavor is consistent! Always hits! read more

My dad was working in Gastonia and brought home a couple of the lunch specials from Caribbean Hut. The deal is amazing. It's so much food and you get a drink for around $7. He got the the Jerk Chicken, Curry Chicken and I believe the BBQ chicken. All the meals came with a mix of rice and beans and yellow rice, cabbage and plantains. The food was so delicious. Everything was well seasoned and the flavors all mixed well. The food does have a little spice to it. So be prepared. My favorites were the Curry chicken and the Jerk chicken. Portions are amazing and the food is filling. I want to try their Beef Patties. Glad they have 2 locations in Charlotte so I can try more of their menu.

I was pleasantly surprised to find this on one of my travels while I was looking for something other than the typical chain restaurants. There is absolutely nothing fancy about the location, storefront nor the interior. The interior was pretty basic, decorated with Jamaican themed decor with reggae music playing. Service counter was basically a cafeteria type set up with a huge warming table. Service was no nonsense. I placed my to-go order & my server proceeded to load up my styrofoam carry out tray with copious amounts of food! He just kept on piling more & more food into the tray. When he handed me the package, it was probably 7#s of food at least!! The star is definitely the food. I ordered oxtails and curried goat. This came with rice & peas and sautéed cabbage. My photo didn't do it justice as the tray was over flowing with food. There was probably 8 big generous pieces of oxtails. Both the oxtails and curried goat were melt-in-your mouth tender as well as very well flavored. It was all absolutely delicious!Honestly, there was enough food for 2 if not 3 people in that tray! My only complaint was that there was so much sauce that a lot leaked out of the tray into the plastic shopping bag. This is one of those hole-in-the-wall places that I call a hidden gem & a must try!! I can't wait to come back to try their other Jamaican specialties!! read more

Caribbean Hut - Oxtails & Curry Goat Combo - Caribbean Near Me - Gastonia, North Carolina

Unfortunately I have to update this review, I have been a longtime customer with this establishment. I recently ordered online and I received the worst meal ever. I attempted to resolve via the restaurant and Grubhub. The restaurant was closed for the day and Grubhub only offered a $5 credit, which wasn't enough for a meal that wasn't even edible. The chicken was so hard it was impossible to bite. I requested rice and peas, I was giving a heap of white rice. There were no veggies, and no plantain included. This meal was a disaster. This is definitely not on brand for this establishment but it's a very disappointing experience. read more

I've wanted to come here for awhile. Finally was able to make it. The Curry Goat was FIRE. The Rice and Beans great. Had a little heat kick that was perfect. The portion was huge. I can't wait to try the Jerk Chicken. read more

Everytime I go here the food is always great and the atmosphere is very relaxing and welcoming. I travel all the way from shelby since we don't have any Jamaican food over there. I even bring my friends who are from the city to try this food, 10/10 highly recommend and it doesn't hurt my budget! read more

I shared the Goat meat entree with my husband and the meat was tender and the sauce very delicious. It does contain a fair amount of bones in it. I enjoy a spicy dish and this one great. The gentleman serving let me try it & then the chicken. I like the goat meat more. Very generous with the entire meal. We had enough for a meal the next day. The facility was a little dated but that is ok with me. Give it a try this just may be your next go to place to eat. read more

This is my go to for Jamaican food! The customer service at both the Woodlawn Rd. & Gastonia location is on point & the jerk chicken, rice & peas, cabbage, beef patties, and curry chicken are my go to's!!! read more

I visited this location for the first time on 4/6/2023. I didn't know Gastonia had a carribean hit so I was excited and pleased with my visit. I walked in and immediately placed my order and it was ready within 5 minutes. I ordered a medium veggie plate and it looked like a large! The food was hot and flavorful. The restaurant was clean and they played reggae music. I will be returning when I have a taste for more Carribean food :) read more

I kept meaning to come here and finally did. The menu pics are still correct, I don't know why this Gastonia location isnt listed more or printed on the menu. I got the veggie curry with rice and beans and the mac and cheese. Mac and cheese was a large portion and was great- its my favorite baked kind, not the creamy velveeta kind. The veggie curry was huge and could easily be three meals or could be split. I asked for their pepper sauce to heat things up...it looks like its habanero based and was tasty if you like spice. Curry was good, I am glad I chose the rice and beans to add a little more protein in with the cabbage and other veggies. Can't wait to try some more entrees. I also got a Ting (grapefruit soda) which is a fave. The main other sodas I saw were Ginger Beer, Cream soda, Cola Champagne (its supposed to be like a cream soda/bubblegum-ish flavor but I haven't tried it yet), and the regulars of Sprite etc. Their lunch specials were under 7 bucks and were mainly a chicken entree (curry, stew, jerk or bbq) with your choice of rice (white, yellow or rice and beans) or a chicken or veggie roti (sorta like a burrito). Looked like a good deal! I came during Covid, so I got takeout. Service was friendly and accurate. The place looked clean and organized. Will have to come back to dine in when possible. read more

He leaves your food sitting there and never calls your number. Stand there and ask for your food. A lot of bones and in the chicken.

I was in the area craving Jamaican food and my search gave me Caribbean Hut. Since I had never tried them before, I got a favorite, curry chicken, peas and rice and cabbage. This was so good and I got the small portion, which I was able to have the next day as well. The guys working were very nice and patient, as I called in my order, but had to place another order when I got there. I don't even remember much about the inside, but it was bright and colorful. I will definitely revisit. read more

Really good food and enormous portions! Not only good food but great value too!

I got the ox tail and goat curry small combo for around $17 and it was delicious! The sides I chose were yellow rice and cabbage. The ox tail and goat curry were a little salty but I still loved it. I just mixed my rice and cabbage into the sauces and demolished the whole thing in minutes. It also came with two fried plantains. A small combo filled me up and I'm a big eater. The guys were nice and helpful. They also played Jamaican ( I think) music so I was digging that while I ate. I would recommend this place if you're into Caribbean food or want to try something different. I'll be coming back to try some of the other obscure items. read more

Food was delicious but I feel I would've appreciated more if it wasn't delivered. All in all it was a great meal.

I didn't like the food or the restaurant's cleanliness. Their curry chicken was mostly bones with very little meat. The heat level of the curry was zero. I did like their plantains. They were the star of the meal. read more

Delicious fast friendly easy and fun. Love this place. Everything is made fresh daily.

I've driven past this place many times and decided to give it a try with my hubby for lunch. I had the ox tail and curry chicken combo and he had the ox tail and goat combo. We both ordered a small, and received a plateful. Everything was amazing. The proteins were out of the world. Veggies were cooked perfectly and NOT mushy. Great add ons.. Plantains and coco bread. The waiter was on top of everything. Glasses stayed filled. This is a great place to sit down, relax, and enjoy a meal or call in your order, grab and go! They also offer lunch specials, just ask! read more
