Parking: We saw many people parking in a grass / gravel lot across the street. We parked there with no issues. The parking behind the restaurant was full. Next, we walked into the place and we were greeted and asked how many were in our party. We stated at three and the hostess told us 20 minutes. I asked how will we be contacted? She stated that she would take my name. I asked are you going to call me or text me? Do you need my phone number? She said no just come back in 20 minutes. I looked around & the bar was full and there was nowhere to sit so we went back to our car. We saw people coming out of the restaurant around 15 minutes later so we went back inside and the hostess looked at us and said you have eight minutes left. We just looked at each other puzzled. So we stood there and our third person walked in so she asked some of the servers to clear a table for us. Shortly after she informed us our table was suddenly ready. The whole interaction was weird. Anyway, our server was very kind and he was very accommodating. We ordered salmon egg rolls, beef patties, and calamari for our appetizers along with a first round of drinks. A different server brought our appetizers and when she placed them on the table, she presented it as chicken eggrolls. I informed her that we had ordered salmon egg rolls. She was confused and then she immediately came back and said these are actually salmon eggrolls. My friend requested cocktail sauce because we were unfamiliar with the very very tiny dipping sauce that accommodated the huge plate of calamari. A different server brought the cocktail sauce while I tasted the tiny sauce that accommodated the calamari and I actually liked it so we asked another server passing by what kind of sauce it was and what were the ingredients and we were simply told it’s the special sauce. I asked her again what are the ingredients and she said she didn’t know and walked away. When our original server came back to the table we asked for more special sauce. Within a few minutes we received another very very tiny portion of special sauce, which we quickly consumed. There were three of us and we still had beef patties, salmon egg rolls, and much more calamari left so we asked if we could have more special sauce and we didn’t mind paying for it. At that point we were actually told that there wasn’t anymore. Then the special sauce became a huge conversation between the waiters and a manager. I simply informed them that we were not interested in making a big deal about it. It just seemed strange that if it was such a special sauce that there would be more available and that customer should be able to purchase it. One of the managers gave us a story about having a huge funeral or something, and that there was no more special sauce and that there was so many ingredients needed to create it that they just didn’t have anymore but somehow she had one more very very tiny container of special sauce. These containers were so tiny. I just want to emphasize that! We were just looking at each other and disbelief because we were really just willing to pay for more special sauce! But anyway we ordered another round of drinks and my second drink looked and tasted different from the first whiskey drink that I ordered. I didn’t say anything because at this point we were frustrated so we ordered our entrées and the food was good. I do want to mention that there is something that is available but not featured on the menu. It’s the cornbread topped with sweet potatoes. It’s very good and it should be listed on the menu. The only reason I knew about it was because I saw it on Instagram. Our waiter came to check on us again and I must mention again he was very nice and very accommodating and overall it was an okay experience because of him. He even offered us coupons. The food was enjoyable, but with the thousands and thousands of restaurants available in Houston I probably will not be back anytime soon just based on FRUSTRATION.

I visited Caribbean Jerk Palace and tried the jerk pizza, and let me just say, it was phenomenal! The crust was perfectly crisp, the cheese melted just right, and that jerk seasoning brought the perfect balance of heat, spice, and smoky island flavor. Every bite had that signature Caribbean flair that makes your taste buds dance! The patio was a great touch a decent size, comfortable, and perfect for enjoying your meal outdoors with a nice breeze. Inside, the restaurant was spacious, clean, and had a lively, welcoming vibe. You can tell they put thought into creating a place that feels both relaxed and full of energy. Also has a DJ booth I'm assuming for special days. The service was top notch friendly, attentive, and genuinely caring. My food came out fresh and hot, and the staff made sure everything was perfect. Between the amazing food, great service, and the laidback ambience, this place is a total gem. If you haven't been yet, do yourself a favor and check out Caribbean Jerk Palace and definitely don't skip the jerk pizza. It's a flavor experience you won't forget! I'll definitely be back

had an amazing experience at Caribbean Jerk Palace! The food was absolutely delicious, full of authentic Caribbean flavor, and everything came out fresh and perfectly cooked. What really made the visit stand out was our server, Aleathea. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and very knowledgeable about the menu. She gave great recommendations and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Her warm personality and professionalism truly enhanced the experience. I can’t wait to come back and would highly recommend Caribbean Jerk Palace to anyone looking for great food and outstanding service!

Gave this spot a little bit to catch up to the hype. The entire experience was great. Ox Tail egg rolls were full of meat and flavorful. The goat was outstanding! Tender, even in flavor with the right amount of kick. The greens with turkey meat were "Black Mama" quality. Rice and peas were a tad but dry. The jerk Lamb Chops were the star. Medium temp was correct and the jerk was not over the top. Mac and cheese had the required "cheese pull" as my grand daughter said. Our waitress was attentive and gave good recommendations.
