    The food and service was great!! My dad is a picky eater and he's over here scraping the plate we had the family plate with curry chicken, oxtails and bbq chicken!!! Sides were plantains, cabbage, rice and peas! Delicious!! Very good pricing as well!!

    I ordered the JP Jerk Burger with fries and paid $14.07 after tax with no tip. The experience was very disappointing. The burger had almost no flavor at all. For something advertised as a jerk-seasoned burger, I expected strong seasoning and taste, but the patty was bland and dry. It honestly tasted like plain ground beef with barely any seasoning. The fries portion was extremely small, just a small handful in the container. For a meal that costs over fourteen dollars, the portion size felt unacceptable. The burger also did not look like the photos online. The bun was squished, the toppings were minimal, and the overall burger looked rushed and poorly assembled. At this point, I would like my money back, but I don't feel like driving all the way back just to deal with it. Overall, the burger had no flavor, the portions were small, and the meal was not worth the price. Very disappointing.

    Island Vibz every 3rd Saturday

    Service was great, the vibes were great, and the food was amazing! I'd been craving Caribbean food for some time and was happy to find Lucian's. We went in for lunch. The restaurant wasn't busy around that time--just a few other tables filled with diners. The music was lovely. Caribbean music is always a pleasure to listen to. I ordered an oxtail plate with macaroni pie, plantains, rice, and peas. My husband ordered curry shrimp with a salad, plantains, and white rice. Everything was delicious! To drink, we each ordered Sorel, which was a little tangy because they add ginger to theirs. It was good, but not the best Sorel I've had. I like mine without ginger. Every third Saturday, they do a thing called Island Vibz that starts with Karaoke from 7-9, and live music from 9 pm - 1 am.

    This is the place to go if you want some Caribbean food! Their Jerk Chicken, Pork, and Oxtails were tender and flavorful consisting of a nice balance of sweet and aromatic spices. I suggest getting the entrees and getting Rice and Peas with Plantains. You also have to try their Beef Patties, they are flaky and loaded with beef. Overall, 10/10.

    If you're in the mood for some good Caribbean food you should definitely considering checking out Lucian's Caribbean Grill The menu has a variety of options with heaps of Caribbean flavor. And it's hard to not be in an island state of mind when you're eating jerk chicken and listing to reggae music The food was great, the staff were lovely, and I had a wonderful dining experience Some tips: I would definitely fry the jerk chicken in at least one of the dishes. If you're in a group, maybe consider ordering different items so you can try more Cheers!!

    Oxtails, rice & peas, and greens.

    First time in. We had the oxtails, greens, and rice and peas. The meat was fall off the bone tender and extremely flavorful. Not spicy hot but well seasoned. The greens are fantastic and full of flavor. Also tried the Island fish sandwich with a huge piece of fish, mango salsa, and on more of a Hawaiian type bun. Special shout to Miguel for the attentive service and excellent food recommendation! I had chatted with Miguel on another occasion when I stopped by for some sea moss gel, which I purchased and liked (mango), so he is consistently nice and helpful. Miguel also shared the 1st and 3rd Saturdays they have live music. I think you have to check out their Facebook page for deets. If you haven't gone, scoot on over there and support that locally owned business

    The restaurant was clean and very neat. The service was welcoming and fast! The food was amazing, seasoned well, and had great presentation. We came here on a hunch that it might be good and it did not disappoint. We will be back

    The food was the most delicious Jamaican food I've ever tasted in Texas! I've been here a few times and the waiters and the owner are always welcoming. There was even a live band on the day I happened to pop in which was a super fun time. The place was very clean and nicely decorated for the event.

    Curry Chicken, Curried Potatoes, Fried Plantains, Rice and Peas

    Why 4 stars? Because I've waited a long time to try this place and really enjoyed it. --- --- --- I discovered Lucian's a while ago through a local top's on Yelp list and was excited to try it during a future visit to see family in the area. Unfortunately, I had to place a to-go order instead of dining in, but I ordered a bunch of different things in an effort to try as much of the menu as possible. The Oxtails were very solid. There was a place in Florida where the Oxtail was so amazing that it ruined all other Oxtail for me, but this was not a bad rendition. 4-stars. I also ordered the Curry Chicken, but didn't love it, to be honest. It was fine, but not something I'd need to order again. 3-stars. As for the sides: -Macaroni Pie: 5-stars. Some of the best mac-n-cheese I've ever had! -Fried Plaintains: 5-stars. While just about every fried plantain I've ever had tastes the same, I am never mad on a day where I eat fried plantains :) -Coco Bread: 5-stars. I don't know what's in this bread, but I loved it. LOVED it. Rice and Peas: 3.5-stars. This was fine. Standard side dish fare. While it wasn't my dish, my dad had the burger and raved about it. He's a simple man that doesn't try a lot of new things, and he rarely praises food in the way that he did this burger. Next time I visit, I will have to give it a shot. 5-stars from my Dad, TBD from me. I see why this place is beloved and look forward to visit #2!

    Oxtails and Grits
    Amber N.

    Just recently discovered this place & their food does not disappoint - can't believe I never tried it sooner! The service was quick & our server was friendly & knowledgeable about the menu items. The vibes were nice with the Caribbean music & disco lights. Our most recent visit was for Sunday brunch - we had the oxtails with grits & the jerk chicken meal- the meat for both dishes was so tender & flavorful! The greens & Jamaican patties (especially the chicken one) are some of our favorites. The macaroni pie was our newest side to try & WOW - so good! Everything was phenomenal. Go try out this hidden clear lake gem-you won't be disappointed.

    Curry Chicken
    Allison K.

    What a lovely spot for Caribbean food! My coworkers and I came in on a Tuesday for lunch and the inside was spacious with plenty of tables. I got the curry chicken, my friends got the jerk chicken, rasta pasta and the spicy beef Jamaican patties. I loved how the chicken fell right off the bone- the meat was juicy and tender. I wish the curry flavor was a little stronger but it was delicious nonetheless. For the sides, I got rice and peas (it's not green peas- it's Jamaican rice which is a bit different as you can see in the picture), cabbage salad and fried plantains. I appreciated how the plantains were sweet with that slight crunch on the outside. Many restaurants I've been to prior had fried plantains that are soft but not Lucian's! My coworkers enjoyed their jerk chicken and pasta as well. As for the beef patties, the pastry was buttery and flaky but I personally wasn't a fan of the beef's soft/mushy texture. Flavor-wise though, it was delicious! Overall, the food here is really comforting and I hope whoever is reading this gets to try this spot! On top of the great food, the service here is fantastic! Our server was very welcoming/kind and always made sure we were doing okay. Looking forward to coming here again to try other dishes from Lucian's!

    Oxtails Al a carte.

    We look forward to Thursdays because it's oxtail day. The food is always wonderful. Last week, we ordered two à la carte oxtails, but both were served in very small portions. This is unusual for us. We were a bit disappointed, as this hasn't been our experience after doing business here for so long. That said, we will continue to support this restaurant because the service is always polite and quick. Posting to make the manager aware.

    Thank god we found this!…read more After finishing our lunch at Wrap & Roll, we saw this out of the corner of the eye and decided to stop here as the girlfriend was looking for some caribbean snacks. Being from St Croix island in the Virgin Islands, seeing the menu and taking in the smells of this place gave her memories of back home. Of course I was happy to indulge her request as it gave me an opportunity to try some handheld eats. First the beef pattie, pretty big and so savory with the meat melting in your mouth and the dough having a nice texture and crust. And then the saheena; OMG! It was my first time having this lovely pastry which is made of chickpeas, spinach, and caribbean spices. You'll be hooked on this after one bite. Texture was similar to a savory piece of cornbread. Of course I was very happy with this item. The girlfriend ordered a currant roll which had some sweetness to it with a flaky crust. I enjoyed it but not as much as I was scarfing down my beef pattie and saheena. They also serve traditional caribbean eats including jerk chicken, oxtails, bake & saltfish, and roti wraps. We noticed a lot of people place to go orders here and call ahead for pick up. There were several bags of eats waiting as we witnessed people roll in and pick them up while having small talk with the owners. All those items looked delicious and we plan to come back and try those out. We also talked to the owners for a bit, they're a husband/wife team who've owned/operated this place for a while. Super polite and gracious, they helped me navigate the menu and explained what the items would be like when I ordered. Sadly I could not get the Aloo Pie (sold out) but they assured me it's worth having and to come back and try it (which we will). Pearland is lucky to have this place here. Definitely recommend trying it out for yourself!

I tried the sauce and it was so flavorful and savory. Would definitely get them if I ate beef. Now that curry mash! O my goodness, I never had it before but it was so good. It's not just mash potatoes and curry. The onions, peppers and other fresh seasonings set it off and I would get it again. The plantains were good, soft and sweet. The steamed veggies were so good and sautéed perfectly. I don't like them cooked too long and they had the perfect bite. The rice and peas were also good. They went perfectly with the meal and the seasoning was on point. The chicken curry patty I could've passed on. The outside was so flaky and good! I never had a patty like that but it was kind of cold and I had already gotten the curry chicken and thats exactly what it taste like, just in patty form, although the curry chicken meal was better. The chicken curry was sooo good and flavorful. I got a roti skin to sop up my curry but didn't care for it to much. It tastes like its made with wheat flour or germ flour and was a bit too thick‍ no shade to them. To be honest, I'm a 'bust up shut' roti kinda girl and everybody's is different and that's fine. Now, if they made the roti skin like they made the Jamaican patty, I would be in business. I ate quite a bit and STILL had a whole meal to take home with me and was full after finishing it. When I see people of the culture eating their own food its a good indication to me the food is good. There were a couple tables with a few Jamaican's enjoying it. We went the Saturday after Hurricane Beryl so the lights in the dining area were out probably due to heat, which I'm fine with. It wasn't too hot or cool even without the air on. It was a good time. Next time I'm getting the jerk chicken

I ordered two Sunday lunch plates to-go. One was stew chicken & the other was BBQ chicken. Both were served with fried rice, macaroni pie, and potato salad. The stew chicken was dry. No sauce at all.

This was my first time coming to the food truck park and I especially came because of this truck. The staff was so nice I really contemplated about this rating for this review, but when I think about the amount of money paid for my main entree and how I couldn't eat half of it and the spice levels didn't match my expectation, I came to this. A 3.5 would have been more accurate quite honestly but alas, yelp has its system. I ordered the bake and fried fish and the doubles. I asked for spicy on the doubles but they didn't taste too spicy - instead I used the sauce included on my bake n fish (possibly had some scotch bonnet peppers) and it was excellent. The bake and fish came as tacos - I don't think I realized that. It was good, but only two small tacos. The french fries were unfortunately burnt and therefore dry and inedible. I gave up on eating them. We were in a hurry, otherwise, I would have chatted with the staff about possibly getting some new fries. I would give this another try --I'd likely try a few other trucks first or at least have something to accompany my meal in addition to what I order from Krave.
