    Philly Steak & Cheese Egg Roll
    Alexander W.

    I was craving some Caribbean food and came across Caribbean Kicker. All I can say is this place did not disappoint. I went with their rice bowl concept and ordered "The Works," which came loaded with shrimp, chicken, beef, and everything else. It was packed with flavor and easily one of those meals where you realize halfway through that you're not finishing it in one sitting. Don't even try -- you'll probably be taking some home. I also ordered the egg rolls and one of their homemade lemonades. Both were excellent. The food smelled so good that I was tempted to pull over and start eating it on the drive back to my hotel. Sitting in traffic with that aroma filling the car was not easy. The rice bowl had just the right amount of heat. It wasn't overly spicy, but it definitely had enough kick to let you know it was there. Everything was seasoned well and worked together perfectly. The restaurant had plenty of seating, and I enjoyed the atmosphere. They had some old-school music playing in the background that was nice and subtle, which made the experience even better. Overall, I loved this place. Whether you're a local or just visiting the area, I'd definitely recommend giving it a try. I'll be back the next time I'm in town because there are still plenty of items on the menu that I want to try.

    Enjoyed this place!!! Have been 3x already. The jerk chicken has a kick to it but I love it!!! I've had the steak, jerk chicken and shrimp added salmon platters. Cabbage, yams and Mac,chz are good. Recommend trying this place if ever in the area.

    Oxtails with rice and gravy
    Asha B.

    After reading the reviews for Caribbean Kicker, my son and I were excited to try it! We were especially looking forward to trying the oxtails. The staff were great, very welcoming. However, the oxtails were not what we were expecting. We were expecting Caribbean oxtails (Jamaican), but, they were more like "Homestyle" with regular homestyle brown gravy and white rice with no peas. We also got a bowl that had shrimp, jerk chicken and steak. The bowl was fine but nothing to rave about. The stars of the show were the lemonades and strawberry pudding. The food wasnt "bad", but if you're looking for a Jamaican style/taste, you may not find it here.

    Absolutely amazing experience! The music set the perfect tone. Creating an atmosphere that felt both lively and welcoming. The food was equally impressive, seasoned to perfection and bursting with authentic flavor. Every bite was absolutely delicious, making the entire experience one. Make sure you try the jerk shrimp egg roll, jerk shrimp and chicken bowl with cabbage! Chef's Kiss. Oh and don't forget the Kicker Punch!

    Food Truck Time: Caribbean Kicker at HollyFest in Holly Springs…read more I tried this food truck at an event and it took a total of 50 minutes from the line to order to receive my food (the majority of time waiting was to get my food). I ordered the Island Shrimp Bowl. It was rice and shrimp with a sauce and seasoning, I wanted more ingredients to the bowl than that. It was good but there was too much rice to the other ingredients and the shrimp were a tad overcooked. The main driver behind my review outside of the basic bowl is the wait time, my husband visited two food trucks and returned before I got my food.

    Walked up to this food truck and was immediately greeted by amazing smells! The gentleman working…read morethe counter wasn't overly talkative but that's fine, the man was focused. I ordered a Caribbean shrimp quesadilla, a jerk chicken eggroll, and a strawberry lemonade. The quesadilla was good. The shrimp was cooked nice but there wasn't a lot of volume to this quesadilla. Just cheese and shrimp, not a whole lot of flavor for me. All quesadillas are served with chips and queso, big bonus for me! Then the eggroll, these things are MASSIVE! An eggroll stuffed with Cabbage and jerk chicken, wooo these things packed some heat but they were delicious. I split the eggroll with a friend of mine who couldn't stop raving about the jerk chicken quesadilla and the eggroll. I gotta say, if you're looking for some delicious jerk chicken or Caribbean food, give this food truck a try!

I selected my two side choices, which were mac and cheese and collard greens. Despite the price that was listed on the overhead menu for the snack selection, which included two sides, I was told I had to pay an upcharge of $3.00 for the mac and cheese. I did not want to argue about something that I felt was unfair and inappropriate. What made the situation really disturbing was that the overcharged mac and cheese was ruined because it was placed and mixed with the oxtail meat and oxtail juices. This situation led to a decline in the food's quality, which did not meet my expectations. The presentation of the small snack container was very unappealing because the three food choices were squished together in a tiny container. My total charge for the small, tight, thin oxtails and two sides snack was not at all worth the $20.00 I was charged. The quality of the oxtails was a real disappointment that needs major improvement. I was expecting much better quality, and I would not recommend this food location based on my recent visit.

    We had lunch from Virgil's Jamaica Jamaican food truck and we thought the food was delicious. The…read morefood truck stopped by my wife's workplace in Chapel Hill so she picked up lunch for us and brought it home. It was a nice treat. I had a three-compartment takeout box that consisted of Jerk Chicken and "Jerkaque" Chicken on top of rice and beans plus sides of stir-fried cabbage and sweet fried plantains. Everything was tasty and satisfying. The standard entrees on the menu come with rice and beans and one side for $8. This double entree and two side meal cost $12 before tax and tip. It's not on the menu. You can ask Virgil about it. Chef Virgil, who was born in Jamaica, has been operating this food truck with his wife, Taffee, in the Triangle since June 2013. The "Jerkaque" or "Jerk-a-que" chicken is unique to the chef, a combination of sweet Carolina BBQ sauce and spicy jerk sauce. I enjoyed both the Jerk Chicken and Jerkaque Chicken equally. I got half dark meat and half white meat. Overall, the chicken was seasoned and cooked well. The meat was tender and flavorful. It also had a nice kick to it. A lot of jerk chicken isn't prepared spicy enough for me. Virgil's got the spice level right. It was good. The rice and beans were extra tasty because they were sitting beneath the chicken, soaking up the wonderful sauce, seasonings, and juices. I'm a big fan of both Caribbean cabbage and sweet fried plantains and Virgil's versions of both hit the spot. The cabbage was stir-fried with carrots and onions. It tasted fresh, savory, and delectable. The plantains had an appetizing texture and were addictively sweet, almost like a dessert. In addition to the items I tried above, the menu featured Curry Chicken, Brown Stew Chicken, and Vegetarian Platter entrees ($8 each) plus Jamaican beef patties ($3 each), and coco bread ($2 each). More items were listed on the online menu on Virgil's Jamaica website at https://virgilsjamaica1.com/. They do catering and events too. The food truck - technically, a trailer - looked weathered, like a trailer that's been well-used since 2013. There's a story about the three generations of chefs that Virgil is a part of posted on the side of the trailer. My wife said service was great. The food came out quick. At the time of her visit, it was a one-man show (Virgil). She said he was really nice. Payments were handled via Square. An itemized receipt was automatically emailed to the address associated with the card used for payment.
