Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"First time trying it and won’t be the last. I ordered the oxtail entree that came with rice and cabbage. I also ordered 1 order of egg rolls that came with three. (2 in the pic because I couldn’t wait to get home) You have to try them. You won’t be disappointed and you definitely won’t wait forever. I’ll be back!"
"It’s a hole in the wall type of Resturant that you would miss if you weren’t looking for it. The two gentleman that were there the evening u came were very professional. U had stopped somewhere else closer to me but they ran out of oxtail. When I got to Caribbean Jaacs he had just started on some as he had ran out too I MUST say that this is some of the best oxtail and cabbage id ever had!!! All the Caribbean flavors. It was better than me tendernism!"
"The owners are such great people!! I had a decent sized order I placed via GrubHub that didn't show until I got there! You'd think that spelled diaster, however, it was the exact opposite! I was offered several apologies while my order was being prepared. I didn't mind a ten minute wait. The teamwork between the 2 owners was flawless, paired with the delicious smells in the air, time flew! They also offered a few different menu items for free as I waited (for the inconvenience, which wasn't even due to them). Answered all my questions and were extremely pleasant! I look forward to going back and trying more from the menu!"
"10/10 would highly recommend! My man was craving Jamaican food and didn’t want the normal UppaYard or PepperPot. I found this place on TikTok and we jumped in the car. We were INSTANTLY greeted by the warm and inviting staff. They truly made me feel like family , and baby the food speaks for itself. I will be returning with a few of my family and friends !"
"Don’t know where to start… the food was incredible!! The ox tails, jerk chicken, curry chicken, and Caribbean jerk tacos were to die for. So happy I stopped by! The service was the icing on the cake. The people were so kind and energetic with the excitement for the future of the restaurant. I’ll definitely be back!!"
"We listen and we don't judge … I don’t even know where to start. This place didn’t just feed me, it changed my life a little bit. I’m talking OXTAILS falling off the bone like they were tired of holding on… ribs so tender they probably apologized before breaking apart… jerk chicken and shrimp that had me sitting there in silence, just nodding my head like I was in church. And the Rasta mac?! Listen yall… that mac and that rice had me in a chokehold. I couldn’t put my fork down. I tried. I really did. But the big-back activities was calling my name and I answered the call faithfully. Then I saw somebody walk out with the Sunday special — 20 wings for $20. I’m not ashamed to say I almost shed a tear. Not a thug tear either… a real one. Because I knew in my spirit those wings were blessed. By the time I left, I was in tears over how much food I got AND how good it was. You know how on Friday After Next they said the BBQ was so good it makes you want to slap your mama? Well… Mama, I love you… but you might want to keep a little distance when I come back here again. 10/10. I’m coming back. Probably tomorrow for those Sunday wings. Don’t judge me."
"I've been meaning to write this review for some tune. Everything was excellent. I ordered the catfish dinner and got the last one. They had run out of a side so gave me extra bread and samples of all their hot sauces. Very friendly. Ill be back. Hopefully as they continue to be popular, they are able to be fully stocked on foods. The catfish dinner was very tasty and their special Jamaican bread was fantastic!"
"Very tasty & fresh. IMO, I gotta save that 5th star for Island Jam in Racine. This place is legit tho... but small: only 2 tables for dine in option."
