    B&L Carribean Restaurant - "Large" fried chicken with rice&peas, cabbage, and mac&cheese

    I first learned about B&L Caribbean Restaurant through social media and immediately added it to my…read more"must try soon" list. So when I found myself in Carlisle for Ice Fest 2026, it felt like the perfect opportunity to stop in for an early dinner and finally see what all the buzz was about. Quick logistics note before we dive into the food: parking can be a bit tricky. Metered street parking is available but the area stays busy, so be prepared. The Pomfret Street Parking Garage and nearby lot are great backup options -- especially when you're walking in sub-zero temperatures and just want to get inside somewhere warm as quickly as possible. We walked in around 3pm and were the only guests at the time -- not surprising given the weather outside, but stepping into the warm, cozy interior felt like instant relief. The man behind the counter greeted us right away and was friendly and ready to help. After surveying the menu (and trying not to order one of everything), we decided to sample both the traditional Caribbean offerings and a nod to their hot dog roots. We ordered the Jerk Rib Platter ($16) with macaroni and cheese and cabbage as sides, plus a lemonade ($5). We also added a Hot Dog Combo with fries ($8) topped with chili, mustard, and onions, along with a Diet Pepsi. Total came to about $35 with tip, which felt reasonable. While our food was being prepared, the screen behind the counter kept lighting up with new online orders, so clearly we weren't the only ones with this place on our radar. Our food came out quickly and looked fantastic -- generous portions without being overwhelming, which was honestly refreshing. Jerk Ribs: Absolutely incredible. Moist, tender, fall-apart-in-your-mouth goodness. The jerk sauce added afterward brought a delicious balance of sweet heat that built gradually without crossing into "regret" territory. Perfectly done. Macaroni & Cheese: I do not say this lightly -- this might be the best macaroni and cheese I've ever had. Big, tender noodles. Creamy, rich cheese sauce. Perfect seasoning with whatever magical spice blend they're using. I would return solely for this mac and cheese and feel zero shame about it. Cabbage: Another unexpected standout. Perfectly cooked -- not mushy, not bland -- just tender, lightly sweet, and finished with a subtle tang that kept it interesting. I wasn't sure about ordering cabbage at first, but now I'm wondering why I don't order cabbage more often. Hot Dog: A solid addition. Grilled (not boiled -- thank you!), topped with chili, mustard, and sautéed onions that elevated the whole thing. Fries: Standard seasoned frozen fries. Perfectly fine, but clearly not the star of the show with everything else shining so brightly. Overall, B&L Caribbean Restaurant absolutely delivered. Warm hospitality, incredible flavors, and a menu that already has me planning my next visit -- because I need more mac and cheese and cabbage in my life, and that fried catfish is already calling my name. No plane ticket to St. Lucia required -- just bring your appetite.

    We stopped in later in the evening and were excited to find it open later than posted. I am really…read morepicky about Jamaican cuisine because so many people try to make it and fail because they cheat on the spices or don't cook it long enough. B&L nailed everything we tried that night. As I'm sitting here writing this review, I'm actually wishing I had a plate of their food in front of me. I'm craving it now that I'm thinking about it . . . Any way. I opted for the jerk chicken. Amazing when made well, annoying when made poorly. This was made well. Perfectly cooked. I asked for the spicy sauce. Not a ton of heat, but enough to make it a very enjoyable entree. I would 100% order it again. My sides were the sweet plantains and the cabbage. The sweet plantains were perfect. Dark, sweet, caramelized, with those little crisp bits that are so so so so tasty. Seriously, I'd stop there just to be the sweet plantains as a snack. And the cabbage . . . I couldn't stop eating it. It was so good. The seasoning was spot on, the cabbage had been cooked enough to be soft but not fall apart into mush. The cabbage was what I actually finished first. Because we thought they were closing minutes after we arrived, we ordered our food to go. The servings were good despite being in to-go containers. I hate places that skimp on orders when you put them in a container with a lid. Hubby wasn't hungry so he ordered one of the patties. Despite being late, it was still good. I'm not sure when they had been made, but it was the last one, tasted fantastic, and the crispy outside was flavorful. The woman helping us from behind the counter was incredibly nice and answered all of our questions. She gave great recommendations. We loved our food. My hubby tried my items and regretted not being hungry because he also loved the food I can't wait to return. Definitely two thumbs way up.

    Absolutely phenomenal experience. There is likely no restaurant like it for hundreds of miles. We…read morecame here after seeing a news article about its opening. MENU: The menu changes often, and at this time of writing there is no official website. The best way to see the menu of the day is to see the daily Story on their instagram (their handle is maame_badu_african food). There are also many photos there too. Do not be intimidated by the food names, as the owner there is extremely helpful. She is extremely kind and grateful, and it seems as if she realized we were trying to try a lot of things, so she began to start giving us mixed samples which was great. If you have a large order it is recommended to DM them ahead of time to place it. MARKET: This place is also listed as a Market but their selection right now is a bit small, but it is within a few days of opening so I assume it will change. FOOD: The food itself is fantastic. The tastes are fantastic and there is seating. If anyone is intimidated by foreign food, I would suggest having the Poulet Yassa which is just chicken and typically plain rice. The Puff Puff desert is likely also delicious to all tasters as it is basically a very soft doughnut ball, which comes with choice of dipping sauce typically. Come earlier in the day if you want Oxtail as it is difficult and long to make so it is limited in supply. VENUE and PAYMENT: Large seating area and has a restroom. There is also outdoor picnic table seating for nice days. As far as parking goes, it is street side only. Venue accepts Cash payments or CashApp (there is a printout QR code to scan). Highly recommend. Check this place out!

    Amazing food and great service. I wish we could come here more often but it's over 4 hours awayread more
