Chef Nikki catered my 65th birthday luncheon in my home. Everyone was impressed. Food was delicious & plentiful.

The interior is nicely decorated. $63 later I had Hennessy Peach Cobbler, 2 Chopped Jerk Chicken, 1Curry Chicken with rice and kidney beans and cabbage, also a side of mac and cheese and greens. After waiting 30 minutes, Upon picking up my food, I was asked to pay an additional $9 for the sides which were already part of my meal, which was eventually straightened out. This food is not authentic. Curry chicken tasted like baked chicken that was sprinkled with curry. Rice and kidney beans, tasted just like that, no coconut milk... Jerk chicken was blah, I got store bought marinade vibes. The food Is extremely overpriced. All chicken was dark meat. It is beyond me why you would chop up legs, and backs. Had to carefully pick through everything for bones. I feel if I would have chosen the soul food items, I may have had better luck. I cannot say I would go back. In response to the owners reply, when I visit a restaurant, I have no intention of critiquing or asking for my food to be remade. The recipes are what they are. I understand the pricing of EVERYTHING has gone up and my concern with the pricing was the quality of the ingredients. I did expect better. Next time I will be sure to take pictures and post to show what I see, lesson for me, thank you. Again, I think this restaurant has something with the soul food. Maybe on another day, a different meal selection I would have something 5 star worthy. Today was just not that day. I took my food home, which was why I did not speak with anyone, nor would I insult your business by asking for a refund or to have my food remade. How would that help your business? I would assume you put your best foot forward each time the doors open. Positive feedback should always be welcome. Please commend the staff for their friendliness.. The decor is wonderful... please see there was more than just the food. Every restaurant has good and bad days. Today was a not so great one, it is what it is, strive for the great and I wish you and your team well. read more

Food and service were great. My daughter also enjoyed her food. Will definitely go back again

I'm only giving this review 3 stars because of the service i received not because of the quality of the food. The food was great but service tonight i think was a bit off. I did an online order and when i arrived my order was ready but the cashier couldn't find/didn't know which was my order even asked if it was under a different name. She then hands me my food and stated i could check it at the back counter. Every meal was made correctly except 1 which was a salmon meal. So i had to wait another 10-15 min for that to be remade. I then get home and realized the $1.50 i paid for extra sauce for both meals wasn't extra sauce at all. I'm not sure if it was the almost closing time caused the carelessness or what but something was definitely off. read more

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

Literally the best food in Charles County! From the customer service, the owners, the bar service and the FOOD! Everything is fire

Was so excited to try out this Black woman owned & family operated business and that excitement remains, but I'm going to give them a few months to smooth out some service and operational kinks before I return. Had I not paid in full online prior to arriving to pick up takeout, frankly I'd have left and cancelled the family orders we picked up on Sunday May 1st at around 4:00pm. I'm glad I waited it out and pushed through the hiccups though and do hope they work out their current processes to improve customers' experiences because the service I encountered was a deterrent I would hate to see cause customers to miss the truly outstanding cuisine. With that said... Waldorf / La Plata Yelp Family??? Karibbean Fire's food is REALLY bomb. They definitely are serving up some real FIRE from this spot and that being a 5 star attraction, is without question. My cousin that rarely eats macaroni and cheese was gobbling theirs down like it was his last meal and I can't blame him because it was FIRE! This is the real deal southern style baked Mac & super cheesy cheese you know was made with eggs & butter instead of almond milk and vegan noodles... So if you're looking for calorie savings, you won't find them with this dish LOL... or the bomb sweet cornbread muffins that tasted like my late granny made them, God rest her soul, but those corn muffins were a divine delight to my tastebuds. The same could be said for the smoked turkey seasoned collard greens that my entire family looooved and the cabbage was devoured from everyone's plates in mere minutes. The rice and peas were solid, while not necessarily as exceptional in comparison with other caribbean carryouts I've patronized. The candied yams while tasty, left a little to be desired in the presentation arena as they were a cross between diced and smashed and looked unappetizing despite actually tasting pretty good. My Dad is an avid griller and loves to break out his big boy smoker regularly too, so in his mind he is the grilling and smoking champion of the world, LOL. As his daughter I'll say he's probably a pretty strong contender with some of the best grillers and smokers and he looooveed and raved about the dry rubbed and jerk ribs from this place. He said he couldn't have made them better himself. Hub also agreed they were worth a second trip to have the ribs again and the whole family loved the jerk chicken, too. It was super juicy and flavorful while not necessarily as spicy as some traditional Jamaican jerk we've grown to love. My thought is, barbecue & soul food is where this place shines and would be better suited for their naming convention than the current expectation they are setting of offering Caribbean dishes which honestly were not aligned with traditional Caribbean flavors and preparation we've enjoyed. 10/5 stars for the delectable bbq & soul food and we can't wait for the service kinks to be improved so we can add this into our family platter ordering rotation. read more

My wife and.I heard about Ka'ribbean Fire and decided to them for lunch. The place is pleasantly surprising when entering. Nice setting and really clean with a warm friendly staff. Once we ordered our food we had a bit of a wait but it was well worth it. My wife ordered the Rasta shrimp and salmon pasta and I went with the Cajun perked ribs and white chicken with the 2 sides of Mac and cheese and yellow rice. The Rasta sauce has a pleasant bite to it and enhances the dish to perfection. The ribs were cooked to perfection as was the chicken breast and it was delicious. The yellow rice was perfect but the Mac and cheese stole the show. This should be its own food group and they have a Cajun shrimp version? I know what I'm trying the next time. They also told me they do shrimp and grits with either the Cajon sauce or Rasta...you have to call ahead for that. I 100% recommend this spot. Mongo read more

I can't say enough about this place. The food is absolutely amazing. The cornbread is slightly sweet and perfect. The Egg rolls were outstanding and the crab cake and shrimp Mac and cheese will make you want to slap your momma for not cooking like this when you were younger. The collard greens were so good, I got an order to go. It was more of a soul food than Caribbean feel but I didn't order the jerk chicken so there is that. The "Cajun spices" could have been a bit hotter but would have probably scared people off. If you like it spicy, possibly ask them to kick up the spice. I'd be here once a week if I lived here. Damn!!!!! It was amazing. read more

The food was immaculate!! The only thing that was odd is that we had to wait on our drinks to come with our food, when we were eating inside the restaurant. I would also say they need some better seating. Maybe booths and comfortable seats that don't rock back and forth. read more

I usually eat at this restaurant several times a month. And I LOVE their jerk ribs. So for Thanksgiving this year I wanted to try their jerk turkey breast. Oh my God it was the most juiciest flavourful turkey breast that I've ever had. Usually, breast itself have a tendency of getting dried. Not at all with them. And then the ad their jerk sauce to it , I was in heaven. read more

Found this place on yelp and decided to try. I had the ribs and chicken plate. I really enjoyed the ribs and recommend them to anyone who is trying for the first time. The sides were good as well and I also received a good portion. The cobbler was good until I recognized how the Hennessy was infused. Overall, good ribs and decent sides. read more

Jerk chicken is more like smoked chicken with no spice kick but still flavorful. My son devoured the yams. I enjoyed the egg rolls and the price point is reasonable. Would return read more

The food here is unbelievably good. My coworker and I went here yesterday after another coworker told us about them. We were not disappointed. When I found out they had cheesecake I had to try it. I have to say that hands down, they have the best cheesecake I've ever had and I pretty much order cheesecake wherever I go, if it's on the menu. This place is a little pricey but you get what you pay for. This is definitely my new go to spot. read more

This place was a welcomed change! I struggle when it comes to finding decent food in the Waldorf area, well I've found it! Fish was seasoned and not too salty, Mac & Cheese and Cabbage was good, but BABY that Henny Peach Cobbler is the BOMB! I will definitely be back!! read more

Jamaican Food... Unbelievable experience. The customer service, the food, and taste buds. Heard about Karibbean Fire on Facebook. Stopped by there with my mother and her friend. We wanted a quick bite. We had the shrimp mac and cheese, chop jerk chicken, and Hennessey Peach Cobbler. My mouth was doing a flavor dance. Everything was great. Portion side were really good too. I am not a Peach Cobbler fan but, I will definitely returning to get some more cobbler. I can not wait to try other things on the menu. Highly recommend you dine in or out here read more

I ordered the jerk ribs and white meat chicken combo with mac and cheese, a side of greens and sweet potatoes...I wasn't able to try the greens Bc they ran out so I received cabbage instead...everything was delicious and well seasoned...everything was damn delicious...do you hear me? I knew the food would be good Bc it was actually the cashier's mom...there is a long wait but that's Bc she's training her new (young) staff so be patient or order online before 6pm... The customer service was excellent... Next time I'll place my order as soon as they open I hope this business continues to succeed They're really doing their best and you can't beat the quality of this food read more

I ordered for the first time today and I have absolutely no regrets. I got the Shrimp & Salmon Rasta Pasta, a side of cabbage and their cornbread muffins. The pasta was so good, it was spicy but so flavorful. The cabbage was seasoned perfectly and the cornbread was delicious. I placed my order online and my food was ready when it was supposed to be and the staff was pleasant! I'll be retuning very soon. read more

The Hennessy peach cobbler is amazing. The chicken wings are also really good. They also do live music from time to time.

Food was good and plenty of it Highly recommended. Drinks were good as well. Nice spot for that quick soul food rush.

Posting this review as I leave the establishment. We placed a to-go order at 7:10 pm and was told our food would be 20-25 mins (ordered 2 jerk chicken dinners and a macaroni & cheese entree). So we decided to wait inside. After checking the status after 40 mins of waiting, the food still wasn't ready. It was a full hour later to receive our food. Side note: it was apparent that there were other disgruntled customers who appeared equally frustrated with their wait time as we observed the waiting patrons. The cashier merely handed me the food and not a simple " I apologize for the wait" was uttered. Clear indication that they're completely careless about customer service. If we were to dine-in, an hr wait would still be unacceptable. I'll go all the way back to DC to get my Caribbean food with better service. read more

If it weren't for entirely too much salt, rating would be much higher! C'mon y'all you need to add more flavor than bunches of salt!!!! I was totally disappointed! read more

I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants good Caribbean food.the ox tails where great, the ribs great, and the salmon and shrimp was the best. read more

Stop by this place on my way to Virginia for the weekend. Ordered Jerk wings, cabbage and rice, however was charged individually for each item instead of a platter and food came to $25. Got to my destination and chicken was disgusting, not spice at all and rice was very dry. Only thing that was good was the cabbage which was very spicy and delicious. Nothing else tasted spicy and most likely not return. Cashier was very unprofessional and talking on her cellphone the whole time even when other customers came into the establishment. read more

Went here on a whim. Food was okay. Nothing to run back to for me. I had the rasta pasta... a bit spicy but not too bad. A bit pricey for lunch, which is when I went. Spent $65 on food here. Ugh.. update: to be fair to the business we also ordered the shrimp Macaroni and cheese, a soda and hubby had two bottled bud lights. Still more than expected to pay for lunch. read more

Everything I got was delicious. Since it was my first time I did a sample...Mac n cheese with shrimp, jerk ribs, jerk wings, and the sass n grass w/ rice n peas, greens and cabbage (aka veggie platter) read more

Warm, friendly staff. I got there at the dinner rush and the food took a few minutes but they were apologetic and threw in extra cornbread for my wait. The food itself was superb. Cornbread was and moist. Collards were excellent. And the jerk shrimp had a good kick without being overwhelming. Prices were mid-range, though there were less expensive options on the menu. Highly recommend. read more

Much needed in La Plata, the food is real good....def worth the 18 mins drive out of the sticks to get.

Everything was top tier! Walking up to the door, you can smell the essence of the food. It was so many delicious options, I couldn't decide what to order so I ordered a few things. I ordered the stuff salmon with two sides which were the cabbage and candy yams. Yummm! I also ordered the crab and shrimp egg rolls. My friend ordered the jerk chicken egg rolls and when I tell you they were BOMB.COM., drinks, service and vibe was top tier. I can't wait to return. read more

Another best kept secret for us savory foodies!!! Family owned and operated. Listen, the cabbage is delicious. The egg rolls and there is this pasta dish with shrimp and crab meat that are my "cheat days--over the weekend GO TO dishes. The Oxtails are also so good. The turkey wings will make you re-think Sunday cooking. The chicken wings make me wanna raise my grandma from the dead. The Rasta pasta is good too. Don't come here if you're on a diet! You'll not only going to fall off the wagon, you'll kick it over trying to get into the restaurant. The food is definitely comforting. read more

I've tried one too many times to give this business a chance. Never again. Today I placed an order and my food was supposed to be ready in 45 minutes. We get to the restaurant and they're still smoking the chicken and tell us they need an hour. Why didn't you or text to let the customer know you couldn't fulfill the order on time? You did not call we have our phone records so don't even come back with that lie. Now you have my money and I have to wait for a refund. This is NOT the first time we've experienced this. But surely is the last because we won't be back. Piss poor customer service. read more

If I could give 10 stars I would!! Food and customer service were beyond amazing. I had jerk salmon, Cajun Mac and cheese, smoked wings and henny yams...devoured everything before I took a pic but did take pic of wings and Mac!!! Everything was phenomenal and I highly recommend visiting if you haven't already...you'll be addicted!!! read more

Ka'ribbean Fire - Smoke Wings and Cajun Mac and cheese with shrimp - Caribbean Near Me - La Plata, Maryland

Food was really good. Not like anything we have around here. Price was good and great portions

So, I tried the oxtail, jerk rib, and chicken Rasta pasta. The pasta was pretty good, but here's the lowdown on the oxtail and ribs - too much salt, like, way too much. The oxtail could've used some extra cooking time; it was a bit tough to get the meat off. Just hoping they dial back on the salt and give those dishes the TLC they deserve. read more

The food is so good!! I ordered online and pickup was easy. The mac and cheese is a bit too cheesy for me but still good. The fried fish was seasoned well and the greens were good as well. read more

Stopped by this place after visiting a friend in MD. Ordered smothered pork chops, candied yams & mac (wasn't my fav) but everything else was really good!! Food was fresh and staff was friendly as well which is always a plus. Definitely saving for a go to spot when in the area as there were so many other things on the menu I want to try! read more

I have ordered here twice just for the chicken Rasta pasta. First time I ordered the shrimp was cooked perfectly but the chicken was very salty. I had tried this spot again hoping the chicken wouldn't be as salty. The shrimp was rubbery and tasted bad. Chicken again was very salty so salty that I had to move the chicken aside because I didn't want it to ruin the taste of the sauce on the pasta. My stomach was upset 20 minutes after I ate it and had to rush to the bathroom. I won't be ordering this dish again. The presentation is nice but the chicken is too salty read more

I got there as soon as the doors opened. I was meeting a friend there but I went ahead and ordered. I had a free coupon for their Hennessey peach cobbler. I ordered the seafood roster pasta. It was super delicious and had a kick to it. But I like spicy food. I also have the collard greens and the peach cobbler was amazing. The service was pretty good and the ambience was nice as well. My friend and I were able to have a nice quiet conversation during lunchtime on Friday. I will definitely be back! read more

Oxtail was so salty I had to throw my entire meal away. It looked so good when I got home and opened it but... No. I wish I would have checked reviews before wasting my money and time because it also was a long wait yesterday April 18th 2024 on a weekday during lunch hours. I'm not one to write reviews but needed to about this salty experience. read more

Why on earth is the fried whiting not filets? We ordered several meals that were pretty good, but the fried whiting which should be a boneless filet was anything but. Out of 2 pieces of whiting there was close to 30 bones. read more
