My family tried this restaurant today during their grand opening. They sold out of food quickly after opening today so we placed our order to pick up later in the day. They were extremely busy and working hard to keep up with the demand and first day kinks. We tried the oxtails, chopped chicken, Rasta pasta, and several of the side dishes. We loved everything and will be ordering from them again soon. The portions were very generous and the prices were reasonable. read more

Ordered my food and enjoyed their delicious jerk chicken egg rolls and a house margarita while i waited. Jerk turkey wings and the seafood rasta past are 10/10. This my favorite place in la plata right now! read more

Just happened to be in the area and needed something good to eat. EVERYTHING was delicious! The fried fish, jerk ribs, chicken wings, potato salad, greens & mac n cheese. Already planning my next time in a few days, since I'll be back out that way. read more

Make sure you are here at least 30 mins early bc they dont adhere to the hours posted. I came in to get takeout about 710 and they had a closed sign on the door but they supposedly dont close till 730 on Saturday! Response to the owner: my apologies but who are you to tell me what warrants a bad review? Your hours on the internet need to be changed if its not true. Thats why ppl dont support black business. Lack of customer svc! Instead of being quick to be defensive against ppl paying their money to support your business how about do better hire more staff invest in time management etc. read more

Food was excellent. Large portion sizes, you can easily make 2-3 plates off the Rasta pasta. The jerk chicken was juicy and definitely had some kick. The plantains were delicious and the Mac and cheese was grandma style- ol school out the oven. No cheese sauce over pasta, I'm talking golden brown deliciousness. read more

I ordered the salmon topped with shrimp. It was delicious, my sides were potato salad and greens. The greens were a little salty for my liking but everything else was PERFECT. I will be eating here again. read more

I believe this is a fairly new restaurant. Very friendly staff. We ordered the shrimp and Mac and the jerk chicken with cabbage rice and peas. The shrimp Mac was very tasty. So was the jerk chicken. The rice was cooked well and cabbage flavorful. The only reason I won't give 5 stars is because the chopped bone in chicken doesn't make for a quick dining experience. Too many jagged bones to pick through while eating. I understand a lot of Jamaican restaurants do this but still find it a bit annoying. read more

Food was just "ok". I ordered the chicken and shrimp Rasta pasta. I ordered a side of cocoa bread that wasn't good at all nor fresh. Taste like it was days old. I ended up throwing the cocoa bread out. read more

Overall the food is good. However the wait is often longer than anticipated. And very unorganized. However the meal was good. Sad that you have to deal with ghettoness to get a great meal. read more

Incredibly tasty food. I beleive I was one of the first to try the Jerk Chicken Egg Rolls which are great! I've had Jerk flavor all over the place, including many places in the Caribbean this place is legit. read more

Way too long of a wait. I ordered online ahead and came in to pick up my food and still had to wait. At that point I wasn't even hungry anymore. Food was just okay. I could find better somewhere else. read more

The food is good, but the wait was to long! We ordered at 11:20 am and did not our food until 12:12 pm. They should have a better system where you do not have to wait so long to get your food. I was on my lunch break and was late getting back to work. Food is good but it need to be done in a timely manner. 45 minutes for 3 fish dinners was to long. People came in after us and left and we were still waiting. We got rice and cabbage with it so we couldn't understand why it took so long! . read more

WOW. The food here is excellent. We first ordered on a night when they were our of dry rub ribs and got the jerk ribs instead. It's now a staple of our order. I loved the oxtail so much that I tried to make my own version at home (fun, but it fell far short). There is so much more I want to try here. People are nice too. read more

Food is delicious but the wait time is not ! I had the jerk salmon and it was tasty! Would recommend just the wait time is horrible.

THANK YOU! Finally someone has come to the area that can cook jerk the way its supposed to be done. My husband's favorite jerk spot (Sweet Mango's) in D.C. closed a few years back. Since then we've been on the hunt for a good jerk restaurant to no avail. Everywhere we've visited has not been up to our standards. We've even been to one spot in Jamaica a taxi driver took us to which is sad. Ka'ribbean Fire has allowed us to end our search. One thing we do both prefer when ordering jerk chicken is white meat. No one ever offers it. A lot of times we'll call ahead and ask, they'll respond yes, but then when you get there they don't actually do . Even so, we'll still order the dark meat and it's just not up to par. Ka'ribbean Fire serves both white and dark meat. The second thing that irritates us is when you get your meal and just find that it is baked chicken with a load of jerk marinade thrown on top. Ewwww. Ka'ribbean Fire has scored again by actually grilling the meat the way it should be. So you're getting that smoke flavor too We ordered the cabbage/rice & peas because I wanted an authentic jerk plate. I figured if it was good I'd come back and try the other side dishes. Can I just say WOW! They were almost better than the star of the dish, the chicken itself lol. We will be back on a regular basis. We both can't wait to try other dishes. We are so glad that this restaurant is near our home too, so we can get it almost anytime without a hassle. Thank you once again, and please don't leave this area read more

I've enjoyed the cooking talent of the owner of this restaurant before; she has catered an event for me and I've ordered cooked food from her just for my family. I was determined to support her restaurant, and finally made it by there today. And, as always, the food did not disappoint!! Everything I ordered is DELICIOUS!! The meats are moist, tender and plentiful, and the sides are fresh, flavorful and substantial. Do not hesitate to go get yourself some of this deliciousness. I've not ever had anything from Karibbean Fire that I didn't enjoy. I WILL BE BACK regularly! I highly recommend! read more

I tried this for the first time today and it was delicious. I got the 1/4 chicken with two sides. The chicken had a subtle smoky flavor that was perfect. The mac and cheese was very cheesy and the rice&peas was good too. Definitely will be back! read more

Let me tell you... this place is FIRE!!!! Everything I ate was absolutely AMAZING. Went in and ordered my food, the girl at the counter was so sweet and very helpful with all my questions. Grabbed a fantastic rum punch from the bar and waited on my food. Decided since this was my first experience, I was going to go all out, and I am glad I did. Got the whole jerk chicken for the family, jerk chicken sandwich, Mac and cheese, greens, yams, and plantains. Threw in some corn bread as the whole chicken was a family meal. Let me tell you, I couldn't decide what I liked best. Not one thing I was disappointed in! You all have a good thing going here, I hope your business is around for a very long time! read more

Food is on point. My favorite was the Rasta pasta. Smothered pork chops and oxtails was my friends favorite. Mac n cheese , greens are delicious. You have to go. Customer service is great read more

Everything they serve is amazingly seasoned! The macaroni make you question your grandma Mac!

My favorite go to place for delicious smoked ribs since moving to the area. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Online ordering is easy and convenient to just stop in and pick up orders. All items are delicious, packaged well and fresh. I highly recommend and have sent many family members to try them out. read more

Ordered Jerk SALMON and instead got some slimy, rubbery mystery white fish that's more like overcooked COD. The worst part? They don't even have cod on their menu! If they were out of salmon they could've just said that, instead of lying and taking my money for this junk. We ordered right before they closed so we couldn't get a refund. Really disappointed and never ordering here for my family again. read more

Ka'ribbean Fire - Fake jerk salmon - Caribbean Near Me - La Plata, Maryland

The food is AMAZING! So amazing that I planned on taking a pic to post, but as soon as I opened my container, I dug in and have nothing to show . I ordered the chicken and rib combo platter with Mac and cheese and greens. Delicious! The staff was pleasant and very polite. read more

The wait time was so not worth the meal! Portion is great-curry chicken with cabbage and rice n peas...I think I have high blood pressure now and my tongue burns(not from the spices). The chicken is over cooked and the entire meal lacks a curry taste. My husband got Cajun salmon with shrimp-the salmon taste like it set in a freezer too long and was also over cooked. And the Costco beef patty was dry and burnt. I wanted to try something new...Im so disappointed. Willing to give another try tho. read more

The service is great and the food is flavorful. I've been to the restaurant multiple times and will return however, I would caution that recently I've noticed the food has been very salty. Recently I've ordered the curry chicken (lots of bones), jerk Turkey wings and jerk chicken and they have all been a little too heavy handed on the salt. Otherwise, the location Is clean and conveniently located. A little pricey but I don't mind paying a little more if I enjoy the food. Ive always been greeted when entering the business and there's nice decor. read more

Great portions , wait time was kinda long but that's because the food was made fresh . Will be returning to try more of the menu !

Fantastic stop for lunch. Lots of great light options. Make sure have a bit of tome or order ahead of you are on a rush.

I like to support local businesses, tried for the first time while in the area. Food was OK, nothing special.

So excited to have a another family owned business in the area with excellent food! The employees are amazing and inly second to the taste! Looking for recommendations, we loved the fish and the salmon and shrimp. Do not leave without the mac n cheese, I promise you that you will not regret it! read more

Great food & great drinks. I'm pretty sure it's family owned. The atmosphere was relaxed. The owner or one of the owners served our drinks. She was a very pleasant hostess. read more

I ordered the salmon and shrimp, fried trout with shrimp and peach cobbler. All but the peach cobbler was great. Flavor out of this world! Cobbler was too sweet with a tough crust. But it doesn't matter. I love the entrees. They can keep the dessert . I also had greens and yellow rice. Excellent! I will buy food from here again! I am looking forward to trying something else, loke the ox tails and jerked salmon. read more

Made the one hour trek to the restaurant to see if the high reviews were legit. Ordered the half smoked chicken dinner with greens and rice and peas as my sides. One word can describe my culinary experience!!! AMAZING . Best meal I've had in years. The customer service is off the chain and the food is second to none. Do yourself a favor and check them out. You will not be disappointed and you can thank me later. read more

The jerk chicken is excellent. Oxtails are good and tender also. Service is slower than i like but the food makes up for this.

I didn't think I would find any unique food options when searching for food in La Plata but was pleasantly surprised when this restaurant popped up on my Yelp search. I had little time & a big appetite. The 5 stars & the pictures sold me. When I entered to pick up my order I was greeted with such pleasantries by everyone that worked behind the counter. The smell of the establishment hits you as soon as you open the front doors which is nostalgic of Sunday's dinner of thanksgiving. I was hoping between the delightful smell & the pictures that it lived up to the hype & it did. The portions are generous! I ordered the Cajun salmon with a side of Mac & greens. I loved how the salmon was smothered in sauce, it was different & soo good. It came with two pieces & I couldn't even finish the entire meal. My husband had the jerk platter (chicken & ribs) & he was very satisfied as well. He had leftovers as well. I will be sharing this hidden gem with everyone that I know because good soul/ Caribbean food, great hospitality, & great prices are hard to come by. read more

This is a fairly new restaurant in the area. There was a bit of a wait as staff tried to keep up with the orders but let me tell you the wait was well worth it. DELICIOUS! Authentic Jamaican food. I had the chicken Rasta pasta and a side of the jerk chicken. My husband had the jerk salmon and shrimp and I wanted his food too! I'll definitely be going back but will order ahead to avoid the wait. read more

I was in the mood for fish today and wanted to support a black owned business. They only had fried fish but the person at the front recommended the salmon. I opted for the salmon with greens and beans and rice. The greens are so salty I cannot even enjoy them. Not sure what type of sauce this is but it was spicy as well if I had been told this was how it came I would have asked for no sauce. On top of that there is a 6% sales tax and 4% service free. Not a happy customer. read more
