For our apps we had the Rasta fries, Soul rolls and Caribbean street corn, all were served hot, perfectly seasoned with loads of flavor! For our entrees we had the Chicken and waffles with hot honey sauce, pan seared salmon, Fried whole wings with Mac and cheese, collard greens and potatoe salad, everything was delicious and flavorful and nicely presented. My only negative was my cocktails, I initially ordered the rum punch, it was so strong on the rum, there was no flavor, it was beautifully presented though. Joshua D was happy to change it but sadly it's replacement which was Bacardi gold and pineapple juice was not any better, still way to strong. This does not take this great restaurant off my list though. I will be back.

Monai's Soul Food is definitely a hidden gem Carteret! I've picked up several meals from them and…read morethey were so delicious! I was blown away by their banana pudding, it was definitely 10/10 and I was heartbroken they sold out during my last visit. You can get a chicken, shrimp or fish meal and I've gotten sides like their Mac and cheese, yellow rice, yams and collard greens. Their food is well seasoned and freshly made so you won't regret visiting them. Also you should also try their House Uptown drink that will compliment your amazing meal. I would strongly recommend visiting them whenever you're in the area!

While the food was decent, the service was pretty bad. When a customer enters your establishment, say hi and be friendly, it takes nothing. So while the food was OK, I would pass on another visit because of the service alone.

Stopped by on Juneteenth to support and it was a great experience. Over a decades worth of…read moreexperience and you can taste the culinary flavors of Caribbean culture fused with good ole BBQ. I ordered bbq chicken with mac & cheese and brisket combo with green and rice. Also a side of pulled pork. The chicken has a great crispy skin that you can bite into and delivers the moist chicken thighs that are packed with flavor. You can tell he seasoned the chicken officially because you can also taste the green seasoning used primarily in Caribbean cooking. The Mac & cheese was good, and the baked beans were homemade and tasty. A tad too much nutmeg but overall delicious The brisket was well cooked and the greens were a combo of collards and cabbage that really left a great impression on me. The rice was moist and flavorful as well. The pulled pork reminded me of my time in the Carolina's and that mild sauce put it over the top for me. Overall me experience was great and I would definitely stop by again to try other items like the pulled chicken and the baby back ribs Well done Dr Rodgers!

Not trying to be rude at all, that's honestly just a sign of how good the food looked and tasted. By the time I remembered, it was already gone. The place is small but very clean, has a nice laid back vibe, and the people working there are super chill and friendly. Everything felt fresh and made with care. Definitely one of those spots you don't overthink, you just eat, enjoy, and plan your next visit.

They come on the most delicious, chewy poppy kaiser buns that make every bite feel special. The sides are just as impressive: piping hot onion rings and fries, and their chili cheese fries are perfectly melty without being greasy. Super friendly hospitable service and retro interior with lots of cola decor. Cute spot for a date or a quick bite while heading south. Heads up it is cash only and their parking is tucked away in the back which is hard to spot off the corner.

The oxtail is tender, the curry chicken is flavorful, and the mac and cheese is pretty good too. There's only street parking, but I don't mind it because i'm typically in and out unless there's a line. If you're looking to get a beef patty or another specific food, I recommend to call ahead of time and check if they've run out or not. It's more of a take out place so it's small inside, but that's ok because I'd rather enjoy the food at home anyway.

I kind of had a feeling it was going to be a wait because there were 3 other customers in front of me, at which they were also annoyed by the wait.
