Island Grill

Heading out of town for the weekend, I stopped by NewBo to grab food for the road and after walking around the market, soaking in all the glorious food smells, I decided on Caribbean Kitchen.
The meat isn’t local so I was in search of a vegetarian dish, which the menu is lacking. I asked if they had a vegetarian dish that I was missing, and the man working the stand said he could whip up a veggie caribbean soup for me if I waited an extra ten minutes… which I was soo tempted to do but I had to get back on the road (next time though!). So, he made me a custom caribbean burrito with loads of fried plantains, veggies, rice, and for lack of a better name: «that magical caribbean burrito sauce.»
It was delicious and absolutely worthy of being added to their regular menu.

Just ordered a side of coconut rice and beans and an order of plantains.
Order came to only $ 5.84. Servings were huge but taste was bland.
Disappointed.

We stumbled upon this little gem up at new-​bo market this past weekend and what a great find! Two words for anyone who’s never had Caribean food — Chicken Patty — Not grandma’s fried stuff (though that’s good too), but rather the Caribean version of a hot pocket, though with less diarrhea.
The spread they’ve got up here is compact, but they offer everything you need — Patties, Jerk Chicken and our favorite — Plantains. We just had a patty and plantains, but both were excellent and reminiscent of stuff we’ve had down in the isles.
Great place for a snack or meal if you’re in the area!

This place is amazing, one of the best meals ever!
The Jerk Chicken was excellent, had such an amazing flavor that was not like any other jerk sauce I have tried in the past. The chicken was cooked perfect topped with the amazing sauce made for a great dish.
The red beans & rice and fried plantains that come with it are also very good. They are high quality side dishes that for sure go great with the awesome jerk chicken.
I did try a Pattie, which is a fried dough type thing with meat which was great as well. Try one of these things, promise it is a great choice.
I will have to come to this place more often, never knew until yesterday of this hidden gem in the Newbo city market.
