If you’re craving bold flavors and island comfort food, Caribbean Jerk Palace is a spot you’ll want to add to your list. This newer Caribbean restaurant opened earlier this year and has already made a name for itself with a menu full of creative, flavor-packed dishes, and some fun seasonal cocktails to match!

Caribbean Jerk Palace serves up all the classics you’d hope for, along with a few playful twists that make the menu stand out. You’ll find staples like Jerk Chicken, Oxtails, and Rice and Peas, but also inventive plates like Oxtail Eggrolls and Jerk Chicken Tacos. Their newest showstopper is a seafood tower that’s as over-the-top as it sounds, stacked high with lobster, crab, shrimp, and even turkey neck!

The Jerk Chicken was a clear favorite during our visit. It was tender, smoky, and perfectly seasoned, with just the right amount of heat. It came with sides that deserve their own spotlight though! Think rich candied yams, flavorful collard greens, and classic rice and peas that tied everything together.

To make things even better, the restaurant is currently decked out for Halloween, with festive decor and themed cocktails that bring a fun, laid-back vibe to the space. It’s the perfect time to stop in for dinner, grab a drink, and enjoy a taste of the Caribbean.
