Caribbean Grill

Finally got to try the Caribbean Grill after working in Champaign for 2 months. It did not disappoint. I went to the grand opening and got the jerk chicken burrito for $1. Also tried the jerk meatballs, as well as the fried plantains. It was all VERY good, and I'll definitely be back since I work about 2 blocks away!

I have been here about 5 times and has been excellent every time. The chicken is always tender and spicy. I would recommend both the Mac n cheese and steamed cabbage as sides. If you sub rice ‘n peas for bread the total cost with tax is $16.15. It comes with napkins and silverware.

My wife and I have been fans of Caribbean Grill since they were only available as catering. This is our first visit to the restaurant, and we were not disappointed. We both had the brown chicken stew and it was amazing. Made with bone in chicken, so you have to be careful when eating, but the resulting flavor is fantastic. The mac and cheese is always good, and the fruit punch is icing on the cake. It isn't near us, so we don't always think of it, but we'll definitely be back.

Had a fantastic experience! The Jerk Chicken burrito was absolutely fantastic! Along with that, the Mac and cheese is to die for! The staff was very nice along with the overall atmosphere being very inviting! Will be back!

2 words: Jerk Chicken. This is one of my favorite restaurants in Champaign. The spices are simply off the chart. The spiciness is not for the faint of heart, but once you take your first bite, you won't go back to normal chicken ever again. I don't know if it is fair to characterize it as a Champaign best in the caribbean food category as there is only one of it's kind down here, but you simply can't go wrong with this food. It is tucked away in a strip mall behind Biaggi, so you can easily miss it. My go to food would have to be the jerk chicken with one side. They given you ample amount of chicken with a side of Jerk sauce. There is a healthy helping of beans and rice under the chicken along with one side. I would strongly advise you try the mac and cheese which has a very mild kick. Normally you get a slice of plantain, however they forgot on my last order. Be careful with the spicy as the last time I had to guzzle a cup of milk to get the burn off my tongue. Pros: best jerk chicken, great spiciness/flavors Cons: long wait times sometimes when they run out of a chicken, at one visit we had to wait 30 minutes for our order Hidden deals: There is a special item served only on certain days. Monday- Jerk fish (tilapia) Tuesday- Jerk chicken burrito Wednesday- Brown stew chicken Thursday- Curry chicken Friday- beef oxtail Saturday- Jerk ribs (pork)

One of the best Caribbean restaurant in Champaign. limited speciality dishes so make sure you check their website to make sure you have your favorite meal azden me finish very soon I like their spicy sauce as well as I know their jerk chicken and goat curry goat

It was great food , but they should let people know Hot Spicy ! My friend couldn't finish hers. Other wise the Ribs are the bomd! Just know it is Spicy

Very good. The portions are small but the food is really good. Very clean and inviting. Friendly and patient staff.

The food is always good. I got the oxtails with mac and cheese and cabbage. It was so delicious. The service was ok. The restaurant is pretty small, so you have to get your food to go.

As a Jamaican living in Florida and visiting Urbana Caribbean Grill is a great find. Great authentic food served in a clean inviting restaurant. I tried the Brown stewed Chicken and it was delicious. I really have no complaints. Lots of flavor but not overpowering by trying too hard to be Caribbean. The chicken was perfectly cooked and paired with a side of Mac and cheese makes a filling and enjoyable meal. The service is also noteworthy as often times it is missed by many Caribbean restaurants. Not here though as the young man behind the counter was pleasant and informative. Caribbean Grill is definitely worth a try if you're in the area and looking for some good food.

Absolutely delicious!! My 2-year old gobbles the rice & peas! A family favorite for sure

Doesn't look like much but is great. Food quality has went downhill a bit in the last year, and the hours of operation kind of difficult to work with for dinner but still pretty good.

Delicious! I have always enjoyed catering from this place and was excited to their new location. The staff were so sweet and inviting. I got the jerk chicken with a regular side of Mac n cheese. It comes with peas and rice and a plantain. I got to try my friend's jerk meatballs. It was so yummy and a little spicy (if you can't handle spicy, be careful!). The jerk chicken comes with a few leg pieces and thigh pieces. This was very well seasoned and delicious! I love sweet plantain so I was happy this came along with the dish. The peas and rice are always my fave and it cooked with many spices. Lastly the Mac n cheese is done soooo right! I was happy I had a lot of it since I ordered a bigger portion. It had some peppers and the consistency and flavorful were on point. Definitely would recommend checking this place out! It's in a cute location too.. Near a strip mall!

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!! I got the Jerk meatballs, and it was a healthy portion. One friend got the Oxtail special, which was so tender and cooked to perfection. She also got the Island Punch, which tasted like Hawaiian Punch but a million times better. Another friend got the Jerk chicken, which was quite spicy and delicious. We all got mac and cheese as our side, which is a must!!

We ordered by phone and picked up through a very safe, socially distanced pickup setup. Our jerk salmon was SO good! Not too spicy but good flavor. We tried the rice n peas, Mac n cheese, cabbage and plantains. All the sides were amazing! Highly recommend and we will be back next time we go through Champaign.

Need my monthly dose of the jerk meatballs. Those are delicious, Mac and cheese is on point, and rice is not dry. Also, the rhum cake is delicious

Delicious. Love the super flavorful, super spicy Caribbean fare. One of my main go-tos in chambana

Found this gem of a hole-in-the-wall on maps app looking for more selection of eats. Looking at the reviews many have said that it was the best restaurant in the Champaign Urbana area. What I liked was that the food, even though it was Jamaican cuisine, was pretty close to food from home since my roots are Dominican/Puerto Rican. Had the Jerk Chicken meal which was dark meat Jerk Chicken with rice and beans and sweet plantains. Ordered it as take out. The food was delicious. Very wholesome. Definitely felt great eating some sweet plantains since the flavor hits so close to home. The extra jerk sauce gave the meal an extra kick with lots of flavor. Really enjoyed the food in this establishment. My only request is that thy should serve oxtail a little more often than once a week. It was something that I was craving but didn't have it the day I went.

Eaten here a few times now. It's great every time. Affordable ($5 lunch meals!) and well worth the price. Best mac and cheese in town, by far. Maybe even better than homemade. Complex flavor - a little spicy, a little sweet - with bits of sweet peppers, and cheddar cheese, not just cheap Velveeta. You'll get a real cheese pull with this one. The jerk sauce is fiery and incredible - tastes like allspice and sweet hot chilis. Really complex flavors. Salty, sweet, spicy, savory. The fried plantains may look burnt sometimes, but there is no burnt flavor. They are perfectly caramelized to bring out the sweetness of the plantain. The meatballs have a strange consistency, like store-bought frozen meatballs that have some kind of filler in them. They still taste amazing, though, and whatever filler is in there keeps them moist - never chewy, tough, or dry, like many homemade meatballs are. The rice and peas are perfectly seasoned. The cornbread is rich and delicious. Nothing is ever bland. Everything is good, every time. The only downsides, besides the meatball texture? Always too salty and too greasy. Overall, affordable, delicious sweet-and-savory comfort food that I think everyone should try.

Flavors are wonderful, quantity is generous, and preparation is fast! Got the chicken jerk and it was so soft and juicy, comes with a side or two (with different prices), but I recommend getting the mac and cheese on the side and the meatballs a la carte (which they actually give to you in similar quantities to the entry side). Plaintains were just average, but this spot is definitely a place to get lunch to go!

Went to their much anticipated grand opening at their new location and was pleasantly surprised how nice everything was. I was curious how they would incorporate their food truck roots to the restaurant, and it was seamless. It's truly a perfect space for this wonderful business. I opted for the jerk chicken burrito and the rice 'n peas while my girlfriend got the burrito with the mac 'n cheese. Everything was so good, but the mac 'n cheese really stood out. It was tremendous. The burrito was spicy, filling, and really hit the spot. I'm so happy with the new location and can't wait to go back. The wait was worth it, well done Caribbean Grill! I can't recommend this place enough.

Well done Caribbean Grill! I was truly impressed by the food and kind service. This place is quaint, clean, laid back, and casual. But most importantly, they know food! The island food is a nice addition to the existing variety in the C-U area, fitting a category that I don't believe has been done before. I got the jerk meatballs and mac and cheese; however, I got to try the jerk chicken, and curry chicken. All three plates were great! The meatballs and jerk chicken have to be my favorite though. The meatballs were a recommendation from the kind lady at the counter. She warned me that they were spicy. I agree, the had a spicy kick; however, I think it was done in a way where the food was still very flavorful and the spice was not overpowering, or uncomfortable. In my opinion, it was just right. My group was also pleasantly surprised by the mac and cheese. It was amazing, very flavorful and cheesy. Not your everyday mac and cheese that gets its flavor mostly from salt. This had spices, it had tons of stuff going on. I had to order another side of it to-go. The portion of food was also a decent size. I was able to get two meals out of it (after I ordered my second side of mac and cheese). I will be coming back to try your ox tails!

Ordered the jerk chicken combo with 2 sides- fried plantains and Mac n cheese. The chicken was very juicy and flavorful. It also came with an additional sauce that had an interesting kick to it. The jerk rub was definitely different from what I experienced in Jamaica- there was a certain spice I couldn't pinpoint, but still good though. The Mac n cheese was also cooked well, with stringy cheese and good flavor in every bite (I personally recommend this side). The fried plantains were okay, a bit overfried in my opinion. I was definitely skeptical at first when I walked in since everything seemed precooked and set in big tubs- worth to try out regardless!

So after a movie in Savoy watching baby driver which turned out to be an awesome amazing movie of its own with an excellent soundtrack we decided to come to Caribbean grill we decided that because it had 19 five star reviews of 19 reviews. We ordered candied yams cabbage macaroni and cheese jerky meat balls jerk chicken a meat pie and rum cake. We really lucked out because we got the last meat pie and they take a little bit to prepare. The Jamaican jerk chicken was fall off the bone delicious it was cooked to perfection in the meat had so much flavor we hardly didn't even use the jerk seasoning but we did and then added a bit of spice and a very complex flavor that was uniquely delicious. We were still hungry though so I went back up and I ordered the jerk chicken dinner which consisted of this delicious dirty rice with beans some grilled onions a single fried planting, and it came with two sides again we chose the mac & cheese and also coleslaw Let me tell you about the mac & cheese it was not your traditional overly cheesy mac & cheese with this was was elbow macaroni with some sort of spices and just perfectly enough cheese but it was cooked to perfection it was orderly delicious and we devoured it twice. The coleslaw was extremely creamy and crispy and delicious a perfect accompaniment to cut the spice of the chicken The meatballs were exceptional although small they packed a huge amount of flavor and one dipped in the jerk sauce that came with it were extraordinary. The yams oh my God the candid yams I am so happy we ordered the medium side of that because they were all really delicious they were in this Candide sauce that reminded me of brown sugar and some other spices that perfectly melted together the perfectly cooked yeah is that literally melted in your mouth, outstanding I could eat those every day with every meal they were that good. The ending of the meal came while I was still finishing my meal my wife had ordered the rum cake slice it was a perfectly cut piece someone Bundt cake slice shaped with some nuts and a slight glaze of rum. My wife makes this for me at home for special occasions and she has perfected the recipe over the years so she joked with the clerk who said that he did indeed big these cakes for them using an old Jamaican recipe. My wife devoured the slice in fact she walked up and bought two more to go I had a piece of one it was dance but buttery rum deliciousness. All in all it was an excellent delicious meal and I highly recommend anyone in the area to come in and try it it is exceptionally delicious the people there were knowledgeable about what they sold and where it came from they were very gracious hosts and for a fast food establishment it was an excellent dining experience.

I mean I get it's a chicken place but the real show-stoppers are the sides. Mac n' cheese is thick with a little zest and rice n' peas (red beans and rice, basically) is delicious. Put a little of the jerk sauce on either (or both) and you'll wanna swim in the stuff. While the meatballs are good I say go with the chicken.

This place is so good! I usually get their jerk chicken (dark meat) or their ox tail combo (only available on Fridays). Their jerk chicken is SO tender and juicy! The meat just comes right off the bone. The ox tail meal comes with about 5-6 pieces and it was plenty for me to feel super full. Their jerk sauce has a nice kick to it, so if you like peppery, spicy food, definitely try the meats with the jerk sauce. The lunch combo comes with two sides and I like getting the green beans, cabbage, mac & cheese, or cole slaw. Every single side is unique and rich in flavor. I also recommend their homemade drinks! My personal favorite is the half mango tea/half lemonade.

FINALLY a hot sauce that makes me reach for my water. My review is based on my take out experience. I enjoyed the food and will probably dine in eventually. I ordered the dark meat chicken and jerk meatballs. Both are delicious. Let's talk about what really matters here.. the sauces. The seasoning. I'm so glad I've found a hot sauce that is actually hot. A lot of establishments claim their hot sauces are extremely hot and they almost never are. As far as ingredients go, I'm not entirely sure what's in their fire sauce but it's SO FIRE AND SO GOOD. It's been a while since I've tasted a great quality hot sauce that packs a lot of flavor and actual heat. For the first time since relocating from UT a few months ago, I've finally found a sauce that is worthy of their title. The meats are moist and the rice and beans have a good texture. Order either the chicken or meatballs if you're a first timer. I look forward to trying the oxtail in the future. As for sides, the sautéed cabbage is a must. It's not your regular, mushy and boring cabbage. It's the seasoning. This restaurant seasons their food incredibly well without overdoing it and overpowering the dish. If you're not into veggies, you will be after you try the cabbage so make your mom proud and eat them.

I can always depend on Caribbean grill for some delicious food. This is the one spot that I always know no matter what I order, the food will be delicious and filling. I usually order from the flavor box to save on money. I order the jerk chicken dark meat and substitute the bread for rice and peas for 99 cents. For the side I get the plantain and order a large mac and cheese. This order alone is $12 which is plenty and filling. I've also ordered their green beans which was delicious. Other times when I'm feeling rich, I add their punch which is a perfect mixture of everything and adds that razzle dazzle to my meal. Whenever I order food from here, I always know it's going to make me happy. I highly recommend this place.

Got jerk meatballs with baked Mac and cheese and added cornbread. It was alllll so delicious. I'm gonna get fat while I'm in town this week.

Excellent value. Lots of healthy options. Super friendly & clean. We had meat patties & rice. Everything was delicious. Jerk is spicy without burning your mouth.

Amazing food. My favorite by far: jerk meatballs! Major nom!!! Rice and peas never disappointed and the cabbage is a delicious compliment To it all.

This place has the tastiest, most comforting and flavorful food in Savoy for a great price. The jerk chicken is spiced perfectly and has a delightful kick. Definitely get the candied yams and mac and cheese. One of the best food options in the area.

Delicious! Everything I've tried here is pretty darn good. My first experience was with Caribbean Grill's Goat Curry ($15) served over rice & peas, with a side of fried plantains. It was amazing - tender meat melded with the rice in all the right ways with the sweet kick of plantains on the side. My dining companion had the Jerk Chicken Flavor Box ($6), which he complimented as well. The Mango Sweet Tea ($2.29) lives up to the Southern standard of sweet tea. It's very sweet. A bit too sweet for this Northerner's tastebuds. I couldn't walk away without the tempting Rum Cake ($4.29), which was moist and delicious with toasted nuts on top. After having such a flavor-packed experience, I went back for more - the Oxtails ($16). The slow-cooked meat just fell off the bone & paired wonderfully with the rice & peas. The Mac & Cheese side is classic comfort food with a little spicy afterglow. The lemonade ($2.29) tasted of real lemons, which is the way all lemonade should taste, without too much sugar to mask it. The staff was so friendly. The food appeared fast. The restaurant's interior was clean. Utensils, napkins, and iced water were at the ready. Sometimes, there is a queue - probably because the food is so good. I have yet to try the Jerk Chicken. But given that everything I've tried so far has been a win, I don't think it will be long before I return.

Surprising my EXCELLENT FOOD!!!! Wow, Champaign has really surprised me... Had the curry chicken with EXTREMELY DELICIOUS SIDES: Green Beans, Cabbage, Mac & Cheese, corn bread, and of course the peas/rice. Maybe the best green beans and cabbage I've had, extraordinarily flavorful!!!!! The cornbread is CORNBREAD, not cake passing... Also had the swirl punch and lemonade which was good but sweet! I'll definitely return!!!!

This place is great! It's located in that plaza behind Biaggis. Great jerk chicken. The candies yams are so good! Mango tea and fruit punch, so so good! The menu I small but the taste really makes up for a small menu. Homemade pineapple rum cake is a must try! I will be sure to come back and recommend to friends!

Ordered salmon, white chicken, and dark chicken platters. Sides were rice and peas, plantains, and cabbage. Overall, the best jerk meal I've ever had with the dark meat chicken being the highlight. This chicken had an amazing smoked flavor and it was on another level from the white meat. Platters came with a separate spicy sauce that was excellent as well, especially to jazz up the white meat. The sides were solid.

Wow, this place has me coming back every Friday for their beef oxtail special. Pretty pricey but very worth it. Some of the most tender meat I have ever had, and it mixes perfectly with the rice. I usually get it with fried plantains and mac & cheese (no joke, some of the best in the area if you like it with a mild kick). The jerk chicken is also exceptionally tender and falls right off the bone. Wasn't as big a fan of the meatballs personally but still wasn't bad. I'd say it's really more of a take out place than dine in, since it doesn't have many tables and they are all right by the door.

Stop.. Don't look for another place to eat, this is it! On a road trip we stopped for lunch. Omg everything was so delicious and so flavorful. We stopped in on a Friday and the special was ox tail. A must get. A long with the Mac and cheese. U will not be disappointed. This was my first time trying Ox tail and I only hope I can find a place close to home that can live up to what we just had. The kids had chicken and green beans. Both very good. And the hot sauce.. Man they were joking. ITS HOT, but very good as well if u love hot. The girl taking our order was very friendly and made sure our order was correct. If ever we are close again we will definitely be back.

We have eaten here about five times. As a restaurant worker myself, let me say how impressed I am at the level of cleanliness. I mean it when I say the place is immaculate. Going beyond that each and every employee that I've come in contact with has been extremely pleasant and helpful if we had any questions. Even going so far as to answer questions we had about the cuisine.

So happy to have randomly found this spot via yelp as we were driving through town. Yelp says they're closed on Sundays but they were actually open. We had the chicken, rice n peas, macaroni n cheese, plantains, and yams. Everything was fire

I stand by what I said in my previous review, but I just can't justify giving any less than 5 stars when I come back every week. The jerk chicken burrito on Tuesdays with mac & cheese and plantains is the order to make here. I also tried the meatballs. The plate comes with 12 along with their rice & peas. Very good and satisfying dishes. The service is also great here, and they've recently started a loyalty program -- $5 off after 5 visits.

Other Yelpers' reviews encouraged me to try the Caribbean Grill tonight. I'd heard good things about the food truck, but hadn't tried that either. I went tonight because it's Friday, and the Friday special is oxtails. Traditionally, Jamaican oxtails are stewed (that is, slow cooked Grandma style) bone-in until the meat is fork tender and sticky. Fat is not much trimmed; this is not diet food. Oxtails are cooked with broad beans in a braise flavored with allspice, garlic, thyme, scotch bonnet pepper, and onions. That is exactly what I was served up -- and it was good. The stew was served on top of rice n peas (traditionally, this dish is made with long grain rice, kidney beans, garlic, onions, scotch bonnet pepper, bay leaves, thyme, paprika, chicken broth, and coconut milk). Personally, I'd choose to have this side dish served separately, since its texture and flavor were drowned by the oxtails. A side of fried plantains was also included in the price of the special. These were two bias-cut slices of island heaven -- creamy on the inside and slightly sweet with a delicate, nutty fry on the outside. For my optional side, I chose the cabbage. The cabbage is simple: cooked down in broth with tender sliced carrots -- just like Grandma's. It made a nice complement to the spicier flavor of the oxtails and helped to balance their richness. I got my order to go. It was served in a pressed paper clamshell with plastic flatware served in a napkin. I asked for a Diet Coke, and this came in a can. I wouldn't have minded eating in, though. The restaurant is small, but well air conditioned, clean, and modern, with corrugated steel wainscotting (to remind us of the food shacks on the islands) and some tasteful, enlarged images of island foods and ingredients (such as peppercorns). Island music was playing in the background. My order was $13.99 (for the Friday special with a side) plus drink. That seemed a reasonable price for the quality of food I received and the amount. Portions are neither enormous nor tiny -- but somewhere in the middle (just right). My partner had tried the Caribbean Grill a few weeks before for lunch during the workday and forgot to mention it to me (how could he!?). He did not have as positive an experience as I did. The person at the counter who took his order seemed unwelcoming (he wondered whether she was having a bad day). Contrast to the guy who took my order; he was friendly and glad to talk about the restaurant. On my partner's visit, the fish was too intensely seasoned -- the flavors overwhelmed the fish. However, I did not find that to be the case with the oxtails. My partner gave them a try tonight and agreed with me that they were perfectly seasoned.

Coming from Florida, some island food is to be desired in the Midwest. Luckily, this shop finally opened up and I get my oxtail fix every Friday, which I highly recommend! I personally am not a huge fan of jerk sauce, but I find the sauce here enjoyable but exceptionally spicy. Homeboy can eat spicy food, but I'm talking if you use the whole sauce container on a single portion of food, you'll feel like you got pepper sprayed in the face. Just proceed with caution and enjoy the meal

The chicken meal is great. Others are ok only. Highly recommend the girk chicken with steam cabbage as side.

I was looking for a change of fare and consulted Yelp. Glad I did. Tried this place on a Monday at about 12:05 PM and just missed the crowd. Had the meatballs and candied yam and it hit the spot. The only small disappointment was the one plantain that comes with the meal; I thought it was pretty lame having had much tastier plantain in Puerto Rico. The rest of the meal including the rice and beans which comes with the meatball meal was either excellent or good. (OK, maybe I've had better rice and beans, too, but as a side they were not bad.) The meatballs themselves were plentiful and excellent. Very tasty especially when you use the dip. Can't wait to try the the jerk chicken. This place is probably going to be a bit too spicy for those who can't stand spicy, but I love spicy food and will definitely be coming back to this somewhat small place! Next time I'm going to eat outside.

Worth a stop if you driving pass this place .Helpful and friendly staff Thank you very much From Metropolis Rugby club in Minneapolis Minnesota

I love this place. It's the only Caribbean place I've been to in Champaign and there food is delicious. The jerk chicken is my favorite but I'll admit I havnt' spent the money to get there specials YET. Most of the food here has a decent level of spice even the Mac N Cheese. Personally I love spicy food. I usually get the tasty box (I believe that's what they're called). It comes out to about $6 and some change w/ tax and you get either jerk chicken or jerk meatballs with rice and beans and one side. All the food comes with their jerk sauce which is awesome. My favorite sides are the plantains, steamed cabbage, and Mac n cheese. Check this place out! You won't be sorry!

It's too bad I only visit Champaign once a year but this is a place I will return and look forward to eating. I had the mixed plate with cabbage and rice as my sides and both were very flavorful and balance to the spicy chicken! I washed everything down with the ginger beer! Price is also amazing, hence my very rare 5 star rating!

Food was great, service very lacking. Was told order would only be 10 more mins after I arrived, then after 15 mins waiting, I was told another 10 mins! Sign clearly states orders ready in 15-20 mins and it wasn't busy at all. I would understand if it was busy to be given a close to accurate information, or even an apology of any kinds but attitude was "oh well"

Caribbean Grill is a must for anyone who seeks authentic Jamaican food. Let's start with the jerk chicken... OUTSTANDING!! Oh so moist! The rice and peas had just the right amount of gravy to set off a virtual flavor explosion in the mouth. The plantain was cooked to perfection. The hot sauce was just that...HOT! Run; do not walk to Caribbean Grill. You will not be disappointed. I will be back! This Jamaican is pleased! :)

Best restaurant fare I've had in ages. We went on a Friday and got the oxtail and three orders of jerk chicken. We tried most of the sides and they were all fantastic. The plantains and mac and cheese stood out the most. The oxtail was fall off the joint great and the chicken fantastic. The flavors are heavenly. The mango tea drink was delish. I'd drive all the way from Effingham just to eat. However a location in Effingham would be awesome. For kids who don't like spice get the green beans as a side. The mac and cheese may be too spicy.

So good!!! Love the jerk chicken and I love that they put the sauce on the side so I can control the heat. The jerk rub is high on spice, low on heat and then the sauce cup has the heat that kicks the back of your throat, perfect combo. Killer mac n cheese and green beans.

I've never had such tender and delicious chicken! Thoroughly enjoy the fact that it's actually spicy. 10/10 recommend this place

This place is awesome! I've had jerk chicken, brown stew chicken and oxtail. They are all very flavorful and tender. Would recommend trying their oxtail at least once if you haven't - I think it's only available on Fridays.

This place is legit! Authentic and sooo good. Location might throw you off a bit but the food is definitely worth it.

The best food in the Champaign-Urbana area! I love the jerk chicken plate with rice and beans and a side of plantains. The dark meat, jerk sauce, and the plantains are to die for

Restaurant was mostly empty and it still took almost an hour to get our food, at noon. Everything is already prepared there should be no excuse
