Caribbean Feast Cuisine

The food was okay. The cabbage was good texture. It was buttery not much seasoning but wasn’t bland. I did not like the rice it was on the dry side and didn’t have much taste without the oxtail gravy. The oxtails themselves were good though. Tender and good flavor and seasoned well.

I highly recommend this Jamaican restaurant. Customer service was on point. Food is amazing. Even the veggies are seasoned to perfection. I brought Jerked chicken, rice and peas, red potatoes and broccoli. I paid 19.00 for a large platter. I ate from the platter twice . Nice size portions.

I eat from here often. I normally go to the store and get my food but this time I ordered and the platter was extra small. I ordered the chicken rice and beans, cabbage and macaroni and cheese they sent me chicken cabbage, mac & cheese, and broccoli. Why is the platter so small when you order for delivery I love the food. The food is great. I’m not understanding why the platter is extra small when you order for delivery, but when you go in the platter is really big.

The food is great but why did I order an ultimate feast platter tonight including oxtail and they gave me 1 oxtail cut in half lmaooo I ordered this before and that is not what happened! I’m appalled!

Listennnnnn, this place has the BEST Jamaican food in Philly. This is a MUST stop whenever hubby and I are in Philly. The food is bussin' (so delicious that if someone tries to take it you will buss them up...lol) The food is so tasty, well seasoned and you can tell it was made with love. Let me talk about the homemade lemonade 🤤 ....one is NEVER enough. Great food with a smile. The entire team from the cashiers, the cooks, the owners and their children that are there are awesome. Shout-out to Kay for making my last visit bomb....just feels like family when we visit. #OurForeverGoToInPhilly 😋 💚 🖤 💛

I genuinely try to support small businesses, especially in Philly — but my experience here left a lot to be desired. The food is decent, but the customer service and the overall ordering process really need work. Whether you order online, by phone, or in person, there’s no consistency. It’s confusing, disorganized, and honestly frustrating. Communication is poor, and there’s a lack of clarity around what’s available, wait times, and how orders are handled. I’m not saying anything new — if you scroll through the older reviews, you’ll see a pattern. This has been going on for a while, which makes me think it won’t change anytime soon. If you’re visiting Philly or looking for a new go-to spot, I’d say skip this one. It seems to mainly serve folks who already know how things work there. For anyone else, especially first-time customers, it’s just not worth the trouble.

The food is exactly what you paid for, fantastic quality! Their sweet potato cheesecake is the best and it's always the first to sell out!!! The service is amazing, they're such sweet people and answer any questions you have or help you work the ordering station. My mom had trouble with it and they came out and helped her twitch it no problem! The atmosphere is tight, but nice and cozy, I always come here when I need a taste of my childhood!

The food is good when you can get it. They run out of food quickly and don't seem to have more prepared. This happens quite often. I called to make sure they had pepper steak as advertised because I've gone there and they don't have it. I went with a friend and placed 2 orders. Ordered broccoli and they didn't have it then they came and said they only had enough pepper steak for one platter. What a disappointment! If you're charging $20 and up per platter then please make sure you have plenty supply ready at all times.

Horrible service & Horrible food!!!! Will not be returning. Ordered the curry chicken lunch special with rice and beans and green beans because they were out of cabbage. The string beans were cold and taste like they dumped them directly from the can to my platter. Disgusting!!! Made me want to vomit. The Mac wasn't bad however I really don't understand why Caribbean's feast considers rice and beans as a side option when it typically comes with your choice of meat.

Delicious Food, Good Service!!! Ordered for our black senior send off at our College. The delivery was on time!! Everyone loved the food

Great food, nice servers, they didn't run out of food, and they had people served and flowing...yes they did! By far the best Caribbean/Jamaican food restaurant I had in Philly (still collecting data and doing research lol). I can see why this place came highly recommended. This restaurant was previously dine in but due to Covid they are still take out only. They have the ordering area roped off to help patrons follow the direction of flow. There was a constant flow of people but social distancing was easily maintained. The lighting was a bit dim but themed well. I ordered the jerk chicken with rice and peas, plantains, and collard greens and our other order was half jerk and half bbq wings with rice and peas, mac & cheese, plantains. Everything was amazing! The jerk was very spicy like I like it, plantains we're done perfectly, and not one item was disappointing. I got a medium and the serving was huge and was enough for 2-3 meals. The price was generally high but the ingredients are usually expensive but well worth it! Can't wait for my next meal from here!

I got this food at the food truck and I must say it is pretty reasonably priced for the food that you receive. The jerk chicken did not come with the sauce on it, so I had to ask to have the sauce added to the chicken and it's not hot at all. The jerk chicken was more or less chicken breast and not actual meat that came off of the bone. The macaroni and cheese is below average and the cabbage did have any flavor to it at all. The fried plantains were pretty sweet but I did not think that they were fried to the best of their ability. Overall I think that the dish was pretty average. You get a lot of rice and beans more than anything; I wouldn't get again

I first saw this food cart last week and I was like "Ouuuu they make Caribbean food?? i gotta to give that a try at least once." I expected the seasoning to be slightly watered down since we're in center city, the portions to be a bit small because once again, its center city because I'm sure renting in a prime time spot isn't cheap for carts. Surprisingly, the portions weren't as small as I thought they would be and some of the platters were made ready-to-go! I'm used to neighborhood Caribbean spots running out of food fast or taking 20 min per order, but they were pretty fast and the price point was reasonable. ($8 with a free soda for jerk chicken, plantains, cabbage, and rice in a big bowl). They could've put way more plantains and cabbage in there instead of rice and beans, but the flavor was pretty solid. The chicken is boneless which was convenient imo. I'll def be back here to try the Oxtails and the beef patties. They were out of oxtails. As any good Caribbean spot should be. Pro tip: If you walk up to a Caribbean restaurant / food truck after 3 pm and they still have every single item on the menu available, turn back out the door lol all the good good spots run outta food early lol

This restaurant and the truck on 1515 Market are the same business. I've ordered all my food at the truck, and depending on who you get working there, your prices can vary greatly. The last time I went there and I was charged exactly $30 for 2 oxtails, which is exactly what was listed. I'm glad this guy was really transparent and was really nice. However, the times before I went the guy who worked there honestly did randomly math in his head and we just had to go with it because price signs were not up. Now there is a price list which is great. The 2 oxtails I got on Tuesday were tasty, meat fell off the bone, and tasted really good with the rest of the plate. The portions were really good for $15, although the bowl doesn't look like it, it does fit a lot. Price: $$ It's not cheap, but it's typical jamaican food pricing. Parking: Tough on market street as expected. Taste: Great, as expected. Service: Iffy, depending when you go. Would I come here again? Maybe, but I know there are better ones out there so I'm willing to try another place before coming back here.

Delicious authentic Caribbean food. Jerk chicken: perfect seasoning, very tender and moist. Fried plantain is not overly fried but it's not sweet. Bbq jerk chicken: delicious barbecue seasoning. I ordered take out and the sauce can spill over so be careful. The steamed cabbage has some kick of spice.

I bought an "oxtail platter" from the truck on 38th st. University City. $15.00 for a platter of rice. I visited the restaurant on Rising Sun plenty of times, no complaints. But I won't patronize the food truck. Also, pepper steak, spinach and collard greens were on the menu, but not available at the time of my visit, around 1pm.

Worst service! Waited an hour and they forgot my order!! Then laughed when I got there

Another great meal! I have never had a complaint about there food! Food is always hot. They just remodel and it looks nice eat in or take out.

The food was ok. Not a place I'd ever come to again. The yams were actually burnt. I'll stick to my usual place.

I came here today with a group of 5 people for takeout lunch and we LOVED EVERYTHING. No roti today, which was a bummer, but I loved my $6.50 lunch (jerk chicken lunch sampler with beans and rice with oxtail sauce and an extra side of plantains). It came tightly packed in a small container but it was enough food to fill me up without being stuffed. The food was very flavorful and cooked perfectly. This has been our favorite lunch experience around Temple Hospital so far!

The food here is awesome. I've gone quite a few times and they never miss! It's easy to find but parking is a bit of a challenge. You can order ahead if you're in a rush. The wait time is not bad at all. I love the jerk chicken and my favorite side is the plantains. You'll love eating here!

I came here first time today. I parked right across the street. There was a few people inside eating and people was coming in and out the whole time I was there. Which showed me a good sign. The service was EXCELLENT! The staff greeted you when you walked in and smiled made jokes and me cracking up. I ordered jerk chicken, Mac and cheese with a side of greens also the oxtails, peas and rice with a side of greens. I also had a side of plantain and a bottle of ting and the peach tea. The pricing was okay and I tipped them pretty good as the service was quick and very pleasant. Now as for the taste of the plantain ... nice texture, sweet and cooked to perfection. The jerk was a little spicy and in some gravy which was different. The Mac has a different twist on it but it taste good while the greens was very flavorful with a hint of spicy it too was good. My boyfriend said his oxtails were okay just a little tuff and the peas and rice was cooked by not "fluffy " like some other Jamaican restaurants. We both agreed that we would eat here again, but it definitely wouldn't be our first choice.

In Philly for the weekend and heard great things about this place so I had to check it out myself. Upon entry the restaurant was well kept, aromas from the food were amazing and the guy behind the counter answered all my questions and even made suggestions. I selected the veggie Roti with Pink lemonade and the veggie pepper steak with a peach tea. The Veggie Roti was so good!!! I was so disappointed I only brought one to take back on my trip home! Service excellent, food amazing and tons of Veggie/Vegan options!!! Great job!

The food is fantastic and the portions are HUGE!!! The jerk chicken is incredibly tender. If you like fish, you will love the jerk salmon.

Great service, delicious food, what more could you ask for? Had the ox tail with candy yam, green beans and beans/rice. Reminded me of thanksgiving :) Thanks everyone for working so hard during this tough time

I don't do a lot of reviews but this Place is awesome. Everyone is so nice- they take extra Covid precautions and the food is always fresh and delicious. Even when I had a issue the owner made it right and then some. It is that customer service that makes the place 5 stars! If you want authentic Jamaican food that is fresh- go here! GO!!

Arguably one of the best take out Caribbean restaurants around. My dad loves the ox tail and you can't miss with the fried whiting platter

Grabbed a chicken Jamaican pattie from the food trailer. So delicious! Flakey tasty pastry and slightly spicy filling. Wish I hadn't been so full so I could've ordered more. Thanks for the tasty snack!

I'm not sure if I've ever eaten Caribbean cuisine before, and although I suppose what I ordered hardly counts as Caribbean, this restaurant certainly was enough to persuade me that the cuisine is worth a try. Caribbean Feast Cuisine provided, undoubtedly, one of the best meals of our stay in Philadelphia. The service was great, the portions immense, and the food delicious and hot. I briefly considered ordering one of the small meals, but I am so glad that I didn't, for they were massive. Instead, I ordered two small sides. Even this was far too much food for me! The macaroni and cheese was very good, as it was creamy and, though pre-cooked, not soggy. The cornbread was the best cornbread that I have ever eaten. It was sweet, and as it was toasted, crisp on all edges. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal at Caribbean Feast Cuisine; if ever I have the chance to return to Philadelphia, I will certainly dine again at this restaurant.

I've ordered lunch from here at least 15-20 times for my team at Temple hospital. We keep ordering from here because the food is amazing every time. Jerk chicken, oxtail, curry goat, meat patties all excellent. Their sides are also great. Mac and cheese, candied yams, collard greens, rice and beans are some of our usual favs. Portions are large and always plenty to go around.

So good. Always the best jerk in town. The place is clean and not a long wait. I've been going there for years.

As a disclaimer, this review is just MY (and my dining partner's) experience. I don't want to be unnecessarily harsh, but I do want to be honest. I first learned about Caribbean Feast through the Caribbean Nights event featured on Yelp. It seemed like it would be for a good cause and I do love me some Caribbean cuisine, so I thought, why not? Well, let's start with the service. I think our waiter was in, like, middle school. He looked young and seemed really new to this whole thing. Not that I had a problem with this, but I guess it explains some of the other kinks of the night. He kept coming over and asking how we were, even when we were still waiting for our order to come out. What could we say to the fifth time he came over when we were just sitting there with an unopened bottle of wine, a couple of empty wine glasses and an empty table in front of us? According to the menu, dinner entrees come with soup or salad and bread, but after about half an hour with nothing (not even water), our waiter came up to us and asked us, "Do you want some salad or bread or something?" Bewildered, we said yes to the salad, which was pretty crisp and fresh. Oh yeah, speaking of wine. It's a BYOB. But you may want to bring your own corkscrew. Either that or a screwtop. Is there nothing more frustrating than being incredibly thirsty and having a bottle of wine in front of you, but nothing to open it with? After about two hours of "We're still looking for the corkscrew," our waiter finally came and told us that he could open up our bottle. After we were finished with our entrees. Props to the lady who reminded the waiter that we still had a wine bottle that needed to be opened. But all that's ancillary to what I REALLY care about: the food. Let me say, this place has the BEST corn bread I've ever had, hands down. I'd even come up here to grab a platter of corn bread and skedaddle back home. God, what do they make that with? A skillet? There's gotta be some sorcery at work here. That corn bread alone warrants a whole additional star. The portion sizes are generous; all the customers I saw eventually got takeout boxes. I was a little disappointed that my jerk shrimp and some of our side orders were drowned in a pool of oil when I received it. It was a bit difficult to taste the jerk spices around the oiliness, but once you get past that, you've got that spicy, smoky, distinctly Jamaican flavor. Juiciness can be difficult to accomplish with jerk chicken, but this place nails it. Would I come back? Maybe for takeout. Or that corn bread. But the service here was way too sketchy for me to come back for a sit-down meal; seems like made-to-order food is not their forte.

This is my go to spot for Jamaican food in the North Philadelphia area. Compared to other places I feel like they give you the most amount of food for a good price. I can typically get 2 meals out of a small size. They do charge extra for the more "popular" sides, Mac & cheese, plantains, etc. The spot was recently renovated and looks decent, you can see most of the food in the front case with the exception of the meat. I wouldn't suggest going late on a Friday/Saturday because they do run out of the popular meats sometimes. My favorite is in the summer time when they grill the jerk chicken on the drum pan! That's hard to find in philly and the best way to cook jerk chicken (as any Jamaican) It's almost like I'm back in Jamaica buying it off the street.

Kindly brought us healthcare workers at Temple a meal tonight, and it was delicious! I had the jerk chicken but all the meals got rave reviews from the ER staff. Thanks!!!

Great place for Caribbean takeout, no frills just amazing food. Right around the corner from Temple hospital and dental school. Always quick service.

Great food for the price, but horrible location and the most unfriendliest staff i've ever witnessed. The first time I went, the hostess seemed super irritated that I didn't know how the place worked. She kept cutting me off and responded with the most unenthusiastic voice. Parking is also the worst - either park far, or get a ticket. But, sometimes, my cravings for this place are so strong that I still come back to this shady location with staff who do not care about you to get the taste of their chicken, rice, and mac and cheese in my mouth. Food = 4.5 Service, location, staff, and EVERYTHING else = 1

Went here for lunch after visiting someone at Temple hospital location is right around the corner but anyway on to the food..it was hot fresh and a very large selection. We had Curry chicken an Jerk chicken with 2 sides platters were $10 which I felt was cheap for the portion size. I will definitely eat here again.

I didn't stay here long, but the short time I was in there, my experience wasn't great. The woman at the counter had a nasty attitude and so I left. My friends stayed to get food and they all came out really upset because of the way this woman treated them. I never understand why some people go into customer service when they are so nasty. Safe to say I will not be going back there.

Bad mon ting... far qwon fwm y'all. I pulled up to this jawn after my doctors appointment this morning which I was shock to know it was open so early (11am) I had Caribbean feast about 3 times before but I never got the chance to review it cuz It was so fuckin popping lol I got the bbq jerk chicken, the rice & beans with the mac & cheese! If you never tried it you should. I literally have nothing bad to say about this place. The prices are great! You can't even go wrong with a small platter cuz they give u a lot of bang for your buck. So yeah 5 stars

First let me say, I did not want to eat here-- I was desperate. There are not that many food options near Temple hospital. I wanted a warm, home cooked meal and opted for this establishment. What a mistake. The location is near enough to the hospital-- the cross-walking situation is a little awkward since it is on triangular block. The entrance is on the side closest to the Hospital. I was not expecting anything grand. It looks like a normal food joint. I was prompted greeted (which honestly is the reason why I am giving 2 stars). I asked what items did they have available and they had the full menu. I went against my better judgement and got the oxtail. From my experience oxtail can be really really really good or the EXACT opposite. I ordered an extra large-- oxtail with rice and peas; plantain and cabbage for 15$. I guess the price point wasn't bad-- I was desperate. They quickly dished out my food; I paid and left. Now--- as for the food....LE SIGH! The food was tasteless. Which to me sounds like an oxymoron -- I have never heard of Island food being tasteless. The oxtail was dry and chewy (it did not fall off the bone) and the gravy was bland, the rice and peas were bland and the fried plantain were basically raw and drenched in oil. The only thing that was edible on my plate-- the cabbage. And for some reason the food had a weird smell to it. Do yourself a favor and look for some other dining option.

In my travel to Philly, this is by far represented the best meal that I experienced. I had the jerk chicken and Oxtail combo with rice/peas, cabbage, and plantains, and I must say, with all of the Jamaica Food I've eaten all over the country, it was definitely the most memorable. The spice provided was just enough to amplify the flavor along texture of the competing items on the plate. I can't wait to travel again to the City of Brotherly Love, not for those disgusting cheese steaks, but for a Caribbean Feast!

Just like a Jamaican spot should be. Jerk BBQ chicken tasty. Yams tasty. Mac n Cheese tasty. Overall tasty.

I was a bit sceptical at first, because good Jamaican cuisine is hard to find. So after a friend talked me into it, I took a chance on the large stew chicken with rice/peas and Mac & cheese. It was so freaking good !!! The mac & cheese was okay, though I tasted better. The portions were big & fulfilling. If I'm in the neighborhood, I'll probably stop by for their jerk chicken..

Owner is a good guy. Started the business when there weren't hardly any sit down restaurants in the area. Glad he remodeled the eating area and food is still good and authentic.

This is my first check in here but not my first time eating here! I can't count how many times I have eaten here all I can say is everytime I eat here the food is consistently great no matter how crowded they get. I usually get Oxtail cabbage and mac n cheese. I like this place because they not only serve great food but they also give back to the community!

If I could I would rate this experience as a 0 but I could not We ordered food from here on 12/10/20 and the food was horrible. We ordered two platters of oxtails and they were not done. The beans in the rice were brick hard as if they never got cooked and my nephew found a false eye lash in his rice. I ordered a jerk wing platter and one of the wings literally had a long ass piece of hair cooked and baked on one of the drum legs and the yams were not fresh we called and took the good back to the store and the manager was very rude and ignorant and refused to look at the nasty food that was sold to us! I will NOT be returning back to this store!!!!!!

This is my in least favorite Jamaican restaurant and I live right in the area and I will drive a distance to get better food.. Only thing they may have going is there jerk wings...

It isn't very expensive. The portions are large. The food definitely has the ability to sustain life until the next meal. I'm a little bit mad because they didn't have any beef patties when I arrived but perhaps it was a fluke thing. I had the jerk chicken platter with mixed vegetables and a lemonade. The jerk chicken was a little light on the heat factor but it was counteracted by decent mixed vegetables and acceptable rice. I am ambivalent with regards to Caribbean Feast restaurant.

This is the best Jamaican food I've ever had. Everything from the jerk chicken to the cabbage was delicious. I also tried the Mac and cheese which was also very tasty. I will be going back whenever I'm in Philly. The service was excellent as well.

Came here on a recommendation, as this is my first visit to Philly. We enjoyed our food. I had the curry chicken, rice and beans, cabbage and yams. My son ordered the jerk salmon, rice and beans, cabbage and macaroni and cheese. Everything was fresh and hot. The portions are huge. They give you a lot of beans and rice. All the food was seasoned well. The ladies behind the counter were pleasant and helpful. The prices were not expensive. I'll recommend this place to others and will be back on my next visit.

Food is great. I had the beef stew with red beans and rice with sweet plantains it was amazing. For a drink I had a Jamaican pineapple soda. Bring cash there card machine is broke.

Whenever I'm in Philadelphia, I try to experience a Jamaican meal if i can. This restaurant was perfect to my locale at the time. There was a steady flow of customers but it wasn't as clean-looking as I'd like it to look. In any case, I gave it a play. I had my mouth set on stew chicken but they were out of it so I settled for oxtails. The 2 young ladies working were pleasant enough but has there own personal conversation going on in between helping customers. I had a n extra large portion which was generous. When I went home to eat, I wasn't really impressed. If I went again, it would be strictly out of convenience otherwise, I won't return.

I don't have a ton of experience with Caribbean food, so was happy to go along with some coworkers to Caribbean Feast for lunch. We originally were going to eat in but we learned that there is a $5-$7ish increased price on everything on the menu compared with the takeout price, which is a "service charge." We decided to take out instead. I got a jerk chicken platter with rice & peas and plantains. It was the small size and a TON of food, I can't imagine even attempting a large. The chicken was delicious - spicy but not too spicy, and the skin was crispy and delicious. Plantains were great. The rice & peas were eh - tasted a bit on the old and mushy side. A good meal overall. I'm not sure I would travel to eat at Caribbean Feast, but it is a great option if you find yourself meandering around Temple Hospital.

Thank you, my husband is Latino and I am B&B(Black and Beautiful), I wanted to make certain I support black business and make it a habit as long as I am alive, because I have seen, what inequality means. The food and delivery service was EXCELLENT, WILL BE ORDERING AGAIN. Thank you!!!!!

Don't ever go here if you love carribean food the food was awful the portions small and the service was terrible I guess when you make Garvin's Roadtrip you can cheat the customer with the fame I repeat don't ever go there! It was just Nasty all across the board.

The customer service is shit. The store needs a commercial renovation loan. The oxtail gravy has a sweet flavor to it that I don't care for. Ron's still has the throne for the best oxtail in the Delaware valley. Tender meat and an unmatched gravy flavor that comes out the same every time. Ron's will let you taste anything. This store it depends on the attitude of the servers. The one thing that I can say that this store has over Ron's in terms of quality is the jerk chicken season. Gently spicy! But I can not tell if the recipe is consistent everyday.
