Caribbean Eatz Restaurant & Grill — Restaurant in Orange City

I'm always on the lookout for good Jamaican food, so I was excited when I saw Caribbean Eatz was close to my house. Could this be my new local go-to Jamaican spot?! Ummm, no way.

Unfortunately, it fell way short in my opinion. Whenever I find up a new Jamaican spot, I have to order my favorite dish to see how they compare to the rest. It's all about the Jerk chicken, rice and peas, cabbage, and sweet plantains. I usually like to throw in a spicy beef patty too.

When I got home and tasted my meal, I was really disappointed. Nothing tasted authentic. The jerk chicken wasn't spicy or flavorful. It also had a funny plastic smell to it. The cabbage was bland and the rice and beans were the strangest I've had. It was like Indian Basmati rice with a few beans thrown in. I'd say the beef patty was easily the best part. The whole meal just struck me as disappointing. I'd rather just hit up...

So I went here a few times. It wasn’t very good the first time but the lady and her husband were so nice. I wanted to give them another chance. I usually got the jerk chicken, which was oddly greasy, but dry and rubbery also had very little flavor. The rice and peas was a weird kind of rice and wax flavor as well. Also, I always asked for lots of gravy as I love the oxtail and curry gravy and there’d be barely any on there. Also, the menu says that you get four plantains, but somehow I always got three. also, I like to try the different sauces and the jerk ketchup was good. The first time she gave me a big cup and I had enough for my meal and then the next time she gave me a tiny one and I just ended up buying a bottle, but they should supply sauces or at least, A normal amount of gravy...

I typically don’t purchased Jamaican food from restaurants, because most of them don’t put any effort in preparing their food, and this restaurant is no exception. Not feeling well, so I decided to ordered their beef soup. What a disappointment!!!. Being a Jamaican, I was expecting to find yam, dumpling and some vegetables. All the soup consisted of was beef bones and broth, and to add insult to injury, I purchased a large, and the only thing large was the container it came in. I also purchased stew chicken with rice and peas, which I don’t have anything good to say about. Also ordered a slice of sweet potato pudding and it was substituted for beef patty without my consent. Needless to say, this will be the first and the last time I’ll purchase from...
