I got the chicken roti, and it was fantastic! The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender, and the curry sauce was rich and full of flavor. The roti itself was soft, light, and perfectly fluffy. Service was great friendly and fast. My only small wish is that they'd remove the bones, or at least the bigger ones, but overall it was absolutely delicious. I'd definitely come back! read more

My husband ordered two curry chicken dinners and one oxtail dinner. When I got in the car, I couldn't smell anything. I expected my nose to be overwhelmed with the wonderful aroma of Jamaican food, but instead, it was very faint. One meal was for a friend. After I dropped it off, she called me to say the oxtail was not flavorful at all. My husband and I had the curry. It was OK. Not bad. The rice was not very flavorful. I also ordered roti. I expected it to be soft like Trini/Guyanese but instead it was more like dry dumpling read more

Delivery Order Absolutely not it. Today (10/09) I ordered the combo of jerk bbq wings and curry chicken. With all my reviews you all know I don't play about my food. I asked for no cabbage because frankly I don't like it, and to add whatever they want. Well I received one slice of lcarrot. The rice was tough, could have been cooked longer. The rice was extremely dry as well. In the notes, I asked for brown gravy to be added over the rice.. (nothing) The curry chicken: it's curry in color with little flavor and after the top layer, all you taste is dark meat chicken. The chicken however was tender. The jerk chicken.. very flavorful but.... DRY AND OVERCOOKED! I wondeAbout half of the chicken was like this and the other half was hard. I also purchased a cube of honey bun rum cake, it was good, but a tad pricey, but that's the going rate nowadays. The combo meal was $25 and the honey bun rum cake was about $4.25 read more

This is a great spot for affordable dishes with large portion. I ordered the jerk chicken which was really spicy and hot. I would come back for the beef patties. read more

Carribean Grill - Jerk Chicken - Caribbean Near Me - Glenarden, Maryland

For some good Jamaican cuisine this restaurant is a good choice. I've been a patron here for three years now due to location convenience. When it comes to Caribbean cuisine in the DMV you either will know of a great place which will have a word-of-mouth reputation or on the other hand a restaurant which all others fall in the category of "good". Please understand, just "good" isn't a bad thing when it comes to Jamaican or Caribbean food because the recipes are difficult to botch and it seems the Jamaican restaurants in the DMV have cooks and management with knowledge of authentic cooking practices. The reason it is generally hard for an unknowing person to have a bad Jamaican cuisine experience is because if you don't have a palate for Jamaican food you'll probably independently or though recommendation opt for the known staples such as rice and peas, jerk chicken, plantain, vegetables and etc. which are all safe choices. The difference maker are the other, more traditional cuisines which locals and loyal customers may have come to enjoy due to frequent visits and curiosity. Caribbean Grill falls into the category of good. I've never had a big issue with dishes such as their oxtail, jerk or brown stew chicken however I do wish they didn't load the dish with the actual "stew" the meats are simmered in which creates a soggy mess for the rice and other sides like vegetables. This and the often consistent saltiness of stewed dishes like brown stew chicken and oxtail. The flavor is good but there is a fine line with salt which can sometimes ruin a dish. We've all been guilty of being a little heavy handed with the salt at one time or another. Otherwise this is a decent restaurant if you want to get your Jamaican fix. The coco bread is very good and also the fried plantains which are always a hit. read more

I placed an order on Uber eats & the FOOD WAS HORRIBLE!!!!!!! Chicken was OBVIOUSLY raw. I called & I guess I spoke with the manager. The man is gonna tell me all the dark meat comes pink/red like that. No matter how much you cook it that's the color. Then gonna say if I ask for dark meat at Popeyes it's the same thing, all dark meat is like that. I have never gotten no shit from Popeyes like that. I must got CLOWN written on my forehead cause what in the ACTUAL FUCK! Oxtails was TRASH rice & cabbage tasted spoiled! NEVER AGAIN read more

Great food and they don't forget your additional request on door dash! All good is fresh and the beef patties are full!

This tastes SOOOO delicious! I have been trying to find good Caribbean food for so long and this is hitting the spot! I ordered through uber eats and the driver was quick and friendly. Honestly would recommend this place if you have been searching for some authentic island food. I also LOVE that it comes with both oxtail and goat because I honestly couldn't decide between the two lol. Thank you! read more

This food was some absolute straight up sh*t I ordered via DoorDash the food did come really quick what makes me think is the food fresh. But I ordered the jerk chicken dinner. Opened it the chicken was sitting in a pool of sauce but jerk chicken is not supposed to be sauced it's not stewed chicken. The chicken was over spicy the sauce taste like it was store bought. The rice and cabbage was bland and soaked in sauce. I got a beef patty it was more bread then meat and the little bit of meat was very bland. I got a pineapple ginger juice which was just a bottle of juice from the store and not fresh like all carribean restaurants have. Finally the strawberry Hennessy cake was ok nothing to write home about. This restaurant was a waste of 32 dollars will never order from here again. read more

This food needs seasoning. I am starving so I drank most of the soup, it felt like I drank chicken broth with no seasoning... a Maggie packet could not save this! AND The dumpling was mushy, it either was not knead properly or too much water was used to make it. I wasted my money on this dish read more

My food was horrible!! I ordered the oxtail's and this was not it!! The tails was very bland no taste whatsoever. The rice was dry and sticky the cabbage taste's like it was not cooked I paid 24 dollars for garbage please do not order the oxtails!! read more

We got delivery on a Friday evening to DC and everything came super quickly! I got the Jerk Chicken Salad (Large with No Dressing because it had enough flavor on its own) and I was delighted - the chicken was fresh and well seasoned and they did not skimp on it! Veggies were also fresh. My fiance go the Jerk BBQ Wings (Large). The rice and peas were perfect and the cabbage was amazing. We both have good appetites and still had leftovers. With the service fees, delivery fees, and tip the total was $31.72 (would have been about $20 for takeout). read more

Carribean Grill - Jerk Chicken - Caribbean Near Me - Glenarden, Maryland

This is a jamaican restaurant right? Food must be better and not to spicy. The patties were slim. My oxtails wasnt to good.

Super disappointed. Ordered on Door dash & food literally has no flavor. I ordered curried chicken & i wasn't even able to take more than 2 bites. Sad part is it actually looked appetizing but absolutely was not. Sticking with taste of Caribbean or angry jerk read more

The food was great. However I never got a refund for the order I placed via yelp I had to reorder on ubereats

I was craving oxtail so I came here only because It was less than a mile from my home. Ummm, I should have kept going further down the road because the food here was the most flavorless I've ever had. The beef patty was spicy but more bread than beef. The oxtail, rice and cabbage had no taste. It was just plain. I'm mad I spent $15 in here when I just could have gotten pizza. Thank God thanksgiving is two days away! Lol read more

Most of these reviews seem to be people who have ordered their food on delivery. I've been here a few times and I've never had a bad experience . I order the veggie patty and curry shrimp entree. The patties are a little pale but well seasoned. I ordered chicken and beef ones for my family and they said they were good. The curry shrimp was a fair portion size , and the rice/peas were cooked well. My critique would be because the food tends to be kept warm in steamers - even though it makes service faster- I think the food temperature isn't always as good as it could be . The curry chicken my boyfriend ordered was super tender but my shrimp , all though flavorful, were a bit soft . read more

Okay.. so I've come to this place quite a few times. Usually to get a patty and some dumplings and occasionally a soup. I really enjoy their Beef soup (from other locations) that they serve only on Monday and Fridays. Now I've been to other locations in which the beef soup has been satisfactory. But this is the third and final time I will be getting soup from this particular location. Every time I try to get a large beef soup which is almost $8+ I get ONE! ONE! ONE!!! Piece of BEEF today I actually asked could she put more meat in the soup because prior experience is that I only get ONE peice. The young woman in there looked at me and continued to fill with broth. If I wanted a broth soup I would get a can of soup! So today I decided to write a review in hopes that change will come. I've eaten other food from here and as a Carribean woman I wasn't impressed hence why I stuck to the patties and soups because the flavors with those there are good. But the not so good that I would pay for a large beef soup with ONE piece of meat in it!! I felt like returning it to ask for my money back. I was very disappointed! read more

Kept forgetting my dang veggie pattie. What is quality caribbean cuisine without a veggie pattie and coco bread?! Had to call in for a refund, other than that sweet individuals and pretty tasty food. read more

I ordered from here on Uber Eats. An hour after I place my order they start calling me to tell me they're out of my order. The whole damn order? Then they let Uber know 15 minutes after that. Unprofessional. And why do these Caribbean places always act like they just start cooking when you order the food. It's in a pot in the back. Put it on my plate and come on! Now I'm trying to figure out what to make my kids for dinner because I wasted an hour and a half of my life waiting for nothing. The food may be bomb. I'll never know. read more

Had their large Jerk Chicken platter. One of the BEST I've had in the area and the price point is remarkable!!!!

I'm in here right now and this child they have at the register is just straight nasty. They are out of cabbage and I had to substitute for plantains and I wAs charged for the plantains. I had to get them because they were out, when I said something she rolled her eyes and had a straight up attitude. Never coming back. I'm not spending my money with people who disrespect me. read more

I love their ox tail meal. The ox tails could be bigger but its very flavorful. Their rum cake is good too

Wow What an unexpected and hidden treasure! The food is traditional Jamaican that is exquisitely seasoned (not over done and not over salty as many can be). The portions are generous. The staff is efficient and quiet. read more

I know there seem to be a lot of poor ratings, but my peas and rice, callaloo, and cabbage was delicious and fresh. The personnel were not particularly friendly. But, I will return and try some other things. The review about uncooked chicken was concerning to me. Not sure if the cook knows, but if you soak raw chicken overnight in salt water that pulls that bloody-looking part away from the bone and there won't be any complaints in the future. I grew up cooking Southern food and this is how we handled that. Even though it won't hurt you to eat the chicken (provides the internal temperature is heated to the proper temperature), it's not really very appetizing to eat chicken that has this look to it and it is daily easy to deal with it. read more

I walked in starving and wanted to feed my appetite for oxtails. They greeted me nicely even though the cashier was flirting, it was harmless...I ordered oxtail, rice and peas and a cream soda...let's just say the cream soda was the best flavored of my dish...I wasted $15 smh.... the dish didn't have the taste I was looking for. It tasted like I was eating a spicy bowl of nothing.... I shouldn't have stopped here..... read more

Carribean Grill - Oxtail rice and peas with veggies and a creame Jamaican Soda. Although, my oxtail were tender, It fell lack of flavor. - Caribbean Near Me - Glenarden, Maryland

My family was looking for an alternative to eating chicken and decided Jamaican food would be a great option. Not baring my Jamaican heritage the food is always welcomed but 2 kids have very decerning taste. So on the way from work we stopped at the 1st place which showed so promise. Ordered beef, chicken patties, jerk bbq wings, shrimp roti, dumplings, curry goat, plantains, and rice and peas. Yes, almost $70 worth of food. Now I usually don't have a bad experience normally with Jamaican restaurants but the wings were really dry, curry goat meat stringy and tough, plantains were almost solid with no moisture, and the rice and peas dry with no taste. It almost seemed like the food was old or not recently cooked. Only the patties were eaten everything else was put in the fridge and possibly thrown out tonight. Maybe its due to covid and not a lot of turn over. Maybe the food was left out all day. All I can say the product paid for didn't live up to the home cooked Jamaican food you want to expect. So if you can find another place I would. read more

I ubereats the food. The food cane really quick. However the portion for an oxtail plate was really small and the food was not tasty.

Most disgusting stuff ever, my food was uncooked. And I called them about it to be told they can not guarantee the chicken won't be bleeding based off who they get them from...wth. read more

I was craving some shrimp roti and after scouring the internet for a place close to home, I settled on this place. First of all, I should have NEVER bought roti from a Jamaican spot. It was BLAND, BLAND, BLAND!!! Not enough curry, way too much cabbage, carrots and peas and NO POTATOES!! I have NEVER eaten a Roti with cabbage, green peas & carrots in it. AWFUL!!! Perhaps their JERK food is better since that is a Jamaican specialty, but I will NEVER be back for a Roti. I'll stick to the Trini spots. read more

My new spot! I never write reviews people, but I had to this time. I have a go to place for Carribean, but it was closed and this place was closer, so I rolled the dice. I ordered goat roti and brown stew chicken and my wife ordered the bbq jerk wings, all were excellent, especially the goat. My wife isn't in to Carribean food but she is now in love with the sweet potato cake. Now she doesn't even roll her eyes when I say I want Carribean food for dinner. I don't know why this place doesn't have better ratings. No place is perfect and I know people are quick to write negative ratings based on an isolated incident but no so much based on a positive one. I'm not saying we should allow black businesses to be sub par, but we should do our part to give them a chance. Try it twice and form your own opinion. read more

"If" i could rate this place a "Zero" i would!!! Do Not!!! order food from here... especially the shrimp roti (no flavor, all vegetable---3 to 4 shrimp given) or the curry chicken (chicken unseasoned & dry).... it taste horrible!!! this place by far has " the worst"!!! customer service!! The jamaican women in there who cooks & services the counter is extremely rude & has a very nasty attitude & had the audacity to insult me when i had an issue with my order. Bottom Line: i will never go back to this place again!!! I should have known better being its location----hoodrat area & it has hoodrat people working there. Go someplace else like "pimetto grill" they have the bomb jamaican food******* carribean grill can't compete with this place on any level***** read more
