I have eaten lunch from the Caribbean Hut before (to-go), but this was my first time eating there at the Woodlawn location. It is quite small, and cozy, but the restaurant accommodated our group of 5 nicely. We got there at 11:30am, and was finished by 12:30ish. Perfect for an hour lunch.
One waitress was working at 11:30am, which was fine for our lunch time, however, when it got busier, she definitely needed more help. I was a little disappointed that they had run out of plantains, and Red Stripe, but none-the-less, I was there for their jerk chicken.
As always, this time around, their jerk chicken did not disappoint, and resembles closely to jerk chicken from street carts in Jamaica. It comes with cabbage with mixed veggies, and rice; all the better to soak up the jerk sauce in. The first bite doesn't have much heat, but beware, it builds over time. I got the small entrée platter, and still had leftovers, and during the week from 11am-2pm, the jerk chicken is a lunch special for only $6.99!
Other than the jerk chicken, my friends had their curry chicken entrée and their curried goat/ox tail entrée. Everyone raved about how delicious it was! We took a to-go order back to the office of the curried shrimp roti, and I had a bite of that, which is what I will order next time around. I also took back with me some of their homemade fruit punch (which is what they use to make rum punch with in Jamaica), which is so sugary sweet and delicious, I know I will crave it more often.
A great lunch with great friends and great food!
