Only thought halfway through of taking pics

My boyfriend literally just picked up take out. We have been by this place so many times and are FINALLY trying it. It's so good, y'all. Mac and cheese, greens, catfish, shrimp, rice, candied yams and cornbread all are insanely flavorful and delicious. If you're local and haven't tried this place yet- DO IT!

First let me start by saying I'm from New York & just moved to Ohio in April I haven't found any restaurant's to make me feel at home until I came here to eat , customer service is great. Food is great THE JERK CHICKEN & CABBAGE IS THE BEST I'll recommend this place to anybody especially if they want that Caribbean taste this is the place !!! I'll be back for more jerk chicken

This small place was a delight to find after one of our fall hiking spree hikes in Summit County. We decided to be adventurous & give it a go, & we were glad we did! John's Philly Steak was tender & tasty with red peppers & onions. He said it was the best he ever had! He was kind enough to let me have a taste & I have to agree with him, "best ever." I enjoyed some extra crispy lemon pepper wings & seasoned fries. Just yummy. They cooked the wings extra crispy for me without charring them. The peach cobbler was great! Down side to this little gem is that it is so little, only 3 tables. You had to wait for your food & that was A OK because that way you are assured its fresh!

Greens

This Jamaican/Soul food joint was a friendly surprise. There isn't much room to sit down and eat but they do have 2-3 small tables. I had jerk chicken with greens and macaroni and cheese. The chicken was delicious, flavorful and had a nice spicy kick but not too spicy. The Mac and cheese was some of the best I've ever had. Forget fake cheese sauce this stuff is the REAL deal. Delicious. The greens were delicious also. The reason for one star short of five is because the restaurant could use a little bit of cleaning. It wasn't quite up to my standards as far as cleanliness, nothing out of line gross, but could definitely use some elbow grease. I would go back but wouldn't go out of my way.

Jerk chicken meal

This place is amazing and definitely a little hidden gem. I had the jerk chicken and my husband had the wings - we both loved it! Husband said they were the best wings he has had in Akron. Food is flavorful and made with love. Came within an hour through UBER eats and the food was warm and fresh. We will definitely be back!

Fish dinner! I had to stop eating and share the joy!

Great home cooked food! The Mac'n-cheese is soooo good! This competes with family reunion type eating! lol I'm going back!

Very flavorful jerk portobellos over rice. #PlantbasedLife
Andrea S.

Had the pleasure of dining here last night and it was delicious. Although there is not much listed one the menu for a plantbased diet, I was pleased to know the owner was developing one and he personally made me some jerk portobello over rice to order that was dynamite. I will definitely be back.

Chicken Philly
Staci R.

This place is AMAZING!!! We got takeout here tonight and it did not disappoint! Do you like jerk chicken?!?! I do and this was the best I have ever had!!! The wings were meaty, full of flavor and cooked to perfection! My husband got the chicken philly and after the first bite said he was in love! For sides we got Mac n cheese, candied yams and peach cobbler!!! The Mac n cheese was so good and light! The yams reminded me of my grandmas cooking.....YUM! The peach cobbler was divine and tasted like it was fresh out the oven!! All the food here is cooked to order so we waited about 15 minutes but it was well worth the wait! It's a little spot mainly meant for takeout, with 2 tables available to sit at. I noticed they deliver via Grub Hub which is awesome and I will definitely try that in the future! If you're looking for down home soul food cooking in Akron then this is the place!!! It may not look like much, but the food packs a punch!!!!!

Overpriced. Not a lot of food at all. Not worth the money. Would never go here again.

I first went to the Copley location and had the oxtails which became my go to dish. I loved it and…read morevisited several times after. I was never disappointed. The food is always good, the price is right and the staff is friendly. I recently stopped by the Kenmore location because they mentioned they have dine in. The dining room is very cute and intimate. After that visit I had the notion to have a small birthday luncheon for my mother in law. Liah was amiable to the idea and very accommodating. I originally told her 14 people but somehow my group morphed to 20. While the dining room is intimate and very clean might I add (so was the restroom) Liah made it work. Not only did my guest most not familiar with Caribbean cuisine love the food, they also loved the ambiance, Liah and her team. We had a wonderful time! My mother in law who turned 89 and not familiar with the cuisine loved it! I also must add one of the most cost effective events I have ever hosted. The guest was so pleased they wanted to meet the chef. He came out and greeted everyone. I asked him to tell us his story which I wanted my grandson's to hear and he was happy to oblige. Such a nice touch for the event. Can I just say thank you very much One Love Karibbean Kitchen and staff. You all were amazing and made my mother in laws birthday one she and our guests will not forget. I'm already a fan. My guest said they will definitely visit again. Wishing you much success at both your locations!

Ordering online was super easy. I went with the beef patty and the lunch portion of jerk chicken with rice and peas. The beef patty was huge and absolutely delicious--so much flavor and perfectly flaky dough. The jerk chicken was tender, flavorful, and came with a side of jerk sauce so you can adjust the heat to your liking. (I smothered mine and soaked up every last drop!) The rice and peas were spot on, too. When I went in to pick up my order, the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The only minor downside is the limited parking, which could be a little tricky during busy times. All in all, fantastic food, great service, and totally worth it. I'll definitely be back to try more from their menu!

We each…read moreordered mojitos, he had the lime and I had the passion fruit and both were absolutely excellent and so refreshing. For food, we shared two appetizers and honestly could have made a meal out of them. The Dominican Flag was incredible: crispy fried plantains, perfectly melty fried cheese, Dominican salami and smoky longaniza, all topped with pickled red onions that added the perfect zing. Every bite was packed with flavor and felt like true comfort food. We also loved the Loaded Yuca Balls; crispy golden yuca stuffed with cheese and topped with roasted pineapple, jalapeños, sour cream, and bacon. The combination of sweet, spicy, cheesy, and savory was amazing. Everything tasted fresh and homemade, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was great. We'll definitely be back to try more from the menu!

This place was actually becoming a regular occurrence for us and where we'd suggest family and friends visit. Saturday Date night we visited after traveling the past few months and we were so disappointed we got up and walked out. What was once a local cantina with great food and drinks is now another restaurant with an identity crisis. Service was good as always but what was a one page menu and a few specials is now a front ad back, beer menu, cocktails menu, and nothing looked good. We went for tacos and margs and left after seeing all the menus and identity crisis. We will not be back

Sadly, we all had complaints of varying levels for each dish. The macaroni and cheese was okay, but had no seasoning at all. The soup du jour of chicken and rice was also okay, but the rice was undercooked. Potato pretzel walleye was also just okay, but way over breaded. The worst dish was the steak skewers, which were recommended by our waiter. I asked for them to be cooked medium rare. Of the 4 pieces divided between two skewers, one piece was medium at best and the other three were well done. If the meat tasted good, I wouldn't complain, but these cuts were so tough, I could barely cut through them with a steak knife. I only took two bites from two pieces and left the rest on my plate. When the waiter checked in, I politely told him about my steak. He said "well that's unusual". He took my plate, walked away and never said anything else. I wasn't looking for a free meal, but an apology would have been nice! No need to go back there.
