Yardie CC Carribean Cuisine — Restaurant in Tallahassee

I work at Publix in the deli. One day, Ms Stacy, the operator of Yardie CC came by to get a sub. She was very friendly and we got to talking about our shared love of food. She asked if I'd heard of Yardie CC. I told I'd heard of it, had read its wonderful reviews, but I hadn't stopped by myself. She told me to stop by and try her food. I did that today and I was definitely not disappointed. It was delicious. I got the oxtail (first time trying it), collards (my favorite vegetable), and yellow rice. While waiting in line I heard Ms Stacy telling the person ahead of me about her pound cake, so I got that as well. Everything was delicious. The oxtails were fall off the bone tender and full of flavor. The collards were perfectly cooked and a little smokey, just how I like them, the potlikker at the bottom was most certainly utilized. The yellow rice on its own was tasty, perfectly cooked, but once it soaked up the juices from the collards and oxtails it became magical. The pound cake was great as well, second only to my grandmother's (gotta keep granny at number 1). It was moist with the right amount of glaze and lemon flavor. I absolutely recommend this great local place and will hit it up again. I believe in eating local, keeping money within the community. There's so many great local places in Tallahassee, and I think it's important to show are appreciation by supporting those businesses and letting them know how much we appreciate it. Thanks Ms Stacy for a...

Atmosphere is outside. Small shade tents, but if it were raining, it would've been a drag. I only had the jerk chicken & 2 sides. Jerk Chicken written in red on the regular menu. I take that as a sign. Sides were, Yellow Rice, and 'no pork' Collards. I'm Jewish.... All of it ends up being wet and messy in a styrofoam clamshell inside a white grocery bag. (!!!)

IMHO modest prices, AND, more food than one human has any business eating in one sitting. You could easily feed 2 with an extra side.

Insane flavor. Bone-in chicken, skin on, with only a fork to navigate... I ended up wasting enough to feel jealous. At least I'm not over stuffed. That could've easily happened.

Food truck with a barely muffled generator going the whole time. Parking lot was tight for our 20' camper van. If only these folks were also in Panama City Beach, where we are headed. I could see making many trips, working through this generous menu.

Food was an incredibly tasty 3 napkin mess. I can't recommend it highly enough. I do not impress easily. These folks impress, and are serving heaven in styrofoam. Go get ya some. SO GLAD we didn't find parking at other places nearby. Serendipity paid w...

Mac n cheese, rice and peas, and collards were tasty although I would've liked the greens a little less cooked. Curry goat, with generous portioning, was weird in that some pieces were very good and with that kindof gelatinous in a good way mouthfeel but others were more dry flavorless goat pot roast or something; like they somehow hadn't been cooked in the same sauce and/or needed more of it. Beef patty had very good flavor and the pastry/crust was good but the filling was unpleasantly pasty-gooey in texture, like too much bread or flour was added and/or not cooked out or something, and it bothered my stomach for hours later. Corn bread was like a square sweet cornmeal muffin and not anything I want to eat. Customer service was friendly and very good. Parking is kindof a pain and depending on where you're coming from and rush hour might be a turnoff. Not sure if I'll eat here again as while some offerings were very good, there were a couple more...
