When you first go there the customer service seems amazing, but the more you purchase the worse it gets. They will tell you your food will be ready at a certain time and then you go to pick it up and they tell you they haven’t even started it yet, no discounts. Nothing just have to wait another 45 minutes to feed your hungry kids. Almost every time you order something it will not be done correctly, I ordered 4 Mac pieces for a dinner I was hosting and we didn’t want to cook, we got 4 Mac and cheese instead, called and told them they said okay come back and get the correct things again no other offers to fix this issue (they offer delivery why couldn’t they bring the items they messed up). There’s been other times I’ve had issues with them in between but most recently I called and asked the online discount code because I was planning on making a large order the man who answered the phone said “don’t know it” when I then responded “it’s in the flyer board right at the front door could you please check there and be said nothing else and gave the phone to someone else. Plans changed and instead of ordering a large order I ended up just ordering Cornmeal and Ackee and saltfish with provisions, I get home with my food NO ACKEE. I call and talk to someone again that just hands the phone off to someone else then that person tells to the people in the kitchen and comes back in the phone to tell me “you didn’t order Ackee” where I respond yes I did I have the receipt right here where it says add Ackee and then he try’s to gaslight me and say no it says zero Ackee again NOOOO care for customer offer to send a new one or anything. I them email the store and get a response oh sorry send more details and I’ll give you store credit, I sent the pictures and proof where then 4 days later no “store credit” or anything. I know I’m. It the only one that experiences these issues as friends do as well
This is an amazing place for authentic Caribbean dishes. The shrimp wrap is absolutely amazing. Ribs are awesome too Everything is. You can't really go wrong. Best caribbean/Jamaican in barrie
First time trying out this place and loved all the food. Had the jerk chicken, goat curry, rice and peas, coleslaw. All items were delicious. Definitely will be coming back again. Also, the staff were very friendly. :)
First time going today. Went with my family and the staff were amazing and so friendly. They were very helpful considering it was our first time letting us sample a few things to try. I’m not a vegetarian but wow that Turmeric Coconut curry stew(I think was the name) was delicious, I highly recommend for anyone wanting to try something new. Jerk chicken was amazing and the beef patties were the best I’ve had. The portions of everything are WELL worth the price and there are so many options to choose from, I guarantee there’s something for everyone. Definitely coming back to try a few more things on the menu!!!
From amazing customer service, to amazing food! I greeted warmly and offered to try a vegetarian dish I wouldn’t have normally chosen & WOW was the vegetarian turmeric dish was so delicious & filled with flavour! I ordered the jerk chicken meal & a beef patty! The food was hot, the spices and flavours were perfect & definitely amazing place to go! I’m excited to go back and try even more! 10/10 would recommend checking this local restaurant out!
From the moment we walked in we felt welcomed. Extremely pleasant staff..we sampled a few items and were wowed with the amazing flavor. Such affordable prices and large portions. And their beef patties are the best I have had. Such a great experience!! We will be back!!
I was hesitant on sharing this review because the owner is incredibly nice - when the restaurant first opened, the owner made every person feel welcomed. Further, I know how these reviews can impact small businesses. The Positives: Their festivals are the best by far. Super fresh. Their vegetarians stews are also incredible! A must try The Negatives: I find their food extremely inconsistent. Their curry chicken tastes like boiled chicken. The curry isn’t a gravy but rather, it’s very watery. Again it’s almost like they’re boiling their chicken in curry water. My husband got their fried fish once with escovitch. My husband who is Jamaican, has never had escovitch with ketchup/a red sauce (where the fish is drowning in it). Quite odd and a bit disappointing. Even if you google “escovitch” and look in images, the fish is never drowning in sauce. Also, the fish was fried to a crispness of a chip. It was barely edible. He just ended up ordering fish from somewhere else. I really hope I can change this review to 5 stars later. Again I really like the owner but I do think the food quality on certain items to tighten up.
Me and my sisters went to this Caribbean restaurant for the first time and I must say 10 out of 10 experience!! We asked if he could make a shrimp quesadilla and an oxtail quesadilla and even though it was on a menu he made it happen and was quite intrigued. It tasted amazing. We are definitely coming back!! ☝🏾
Amazing curry goat meal!
I had an amazing time here. The food was great and the prices are fair. The staff surprised my wife with a complimentary cake for her birthday and the staff sang for her. Such a great establishment where they really know how to put a smile on your face.
Delicious amazing staff, all round wonderful place
Food was delicious, and great environment. Gotta shoutout the customer service. Leaving with my belly full and happy Food : 5/5
No flavour seasoning don t waste your money, oily and bland even the macaroni pie was weird. Be cautious of foodies saying this place is good.
Called in to order a jerk chicken poutine. When I went to pick up my poutine I ended up adding curry goat roti, rice and some veggie stew. Everything was sooooo good! Definitely some of the best food Ive had in a long time and definitely some of the best food in Barrie. Even had a slice of banana bread and it was delicious too! Ill be back again to try more from their menu!
Great place for jerk Chicken and Patties.
AHHH .just like Mama s cooking. Delicious delicious food. So glad we discovered Carib Dish. It s a must stop if you re in the Barrie area.
That oxtail is spectacular
Everytime I travel to Barrie this is the only place I will get food from. The food is really really good and I am a very picky eater
Caribdish is a true gem for authentic Caribbean cuisine! Ive had the oxtail, jerk chicken, curry goat, and curry chicken, and every single dish has been absolutely delicious. My family cant get enough of the macaroni slice they devour it the moment I get home! The soup is wonderfully comforting, perfect for any day you need a warm, hearty meal. The staff here are incredibly kind and genuine, making every visit a pleasant experience. While the dining area isnt fancy, its exceptionally clean, which I truly appreciate. If youre looking for flavorful dishes and a welcoming atmosphere, Caribdish is the place to go. Highly recommended!
Awesome spot for Caribbean food in barrie they got food to order or the hot table would highly recommend
Went here for lunch, the staff and food were amazing. Friendliest staff; they gave samples for all the dishes and everything was so flavourful and delicious. We ended up getting the soup, jerk chicken, ox tail, shrimp and jerk chicken Alfredo, festivals and porridge. 10/10 would recommend this place to anyone. Best Jamaican food in town.
DELICIOUS!! The young lad serving was so sweet, patiently describing the dishes we thought about. Oxtail and shrimp and the soup were all amazing!
ordered the curry shrimp and garlic shrimp, both shrimps meals shrimps was rubbery and overcooked the curry had no flavor or sauce it was sweet and chunks of potatoes and chick peas, the garlic shrimp was rubbery and tasteless. vegetables were !!!! Parking: NA
It was one of the best Caribbean food that I ever had, Services was amazing
Incredible menu and every items flavour was on point! Ordered their Jamaican patties which were incredible and there jerk chicken quesadillas! Oh and their jerk wings forget about it! We will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu because everything was made fresh and worth every penny!!
Exceptional Customer Service , well mannered staff and the manager just make the experience even better The food was a 10/10 my favourite the jerk chicken and festival Big up Carib Dish! Guys run out for the good food now now now !!!! Food : 5/5

Place is fire!! I ve been to almost every Caribbean/island food joint in the gta and Barrie surrounding area and wow this place is in the TOP 5 hands down!!! Keep up the good work guys
Food was tasteless and serve without even a slice of tomato, no vegetable smh it was blaaa. Wouldnt recommended it
Great food, friendly service, every time!
If anyone gives this restaurant less than a 5 star don t believe them! The food is amazing. It can be hard to find a good Caribbean spot up to standard here and this place has over exceeded that expectation. In addition to that, their portion sizes are the best I ve seen. The owner truly values his customers and we re always met with friendly service and a smile. What really grabs my heart is that these guys are always giving back to the community. I wish nothing but continued success for this restaurant, staff and owner.
Amazing Caribbean restaurant in south Barrie. There are options available for everyone. I myself am vegetarian and enjoyed the Tumeric Coconut Veggie Stew Meal. I shall definitely be returning.
The staff is exceptionally courteous, and the quality of the food is outstanding and delectable.
Great job
Best customer service and amazing food here
Best jamaican food in barrie. Foods made with lots of tlc
Not authentic. Not even close . I feel so sorry for barrie luckily theres another authentic jamaican spot nearby wont mention the name because the review is for this place. Owner please dont reply to this or I will fully let you know how it went .
Was looking to get some lunch today and came across this restaurant went in and it did not disappoint the food was amazing / friendly staff / portions was great for the price. I would definitely come back hidden gem in barrie for sure. Go check them out!!!!
This place was great Food tasted amazing First time here I didn t rate it higher only because I was disappointed the rice I was given wasn t that much usually when I get jerk chicken with rice and peas my bowl is full and this time it wasn t Other than that food tasted great
I walked in and was greeted with one of the best customer service experiences Ive had at a restaurant. It was my first time and was offered free samples of their various foods. The food was great especially their porridge. I definitely recommend that you try this place.
Best Caribbean food I have had outside of the GTA Super clean, great staff Great tasting food with fair prices Food : 5/5
Great service. Kenny and Franklin were super helpful and went the extra mile. Really appreciate it, will be back. 10/10
I absolutely loved my food. It was my first time ordering on September 26, 2024. I will be ordering and eating their incredible food for a very long time. Danisha is the best. Thanks so much, Heather.
Wow one of the amazing food I had in canada.my top most favourite jerk chicken spot
This place is a very pleasant surprise, the owner love what he does and it translate in beautifully generous and extremely tasteful dishes. It is a shame I don t leave near by but I will definitely be back and will talk about this place with lots of ppl Vegetarian options: There was a coconut, potato, and chickpeas dish that was delicious
I ve tried many Caribbean restaurants in the Barrie area over the last 10 years and the food here is delicious! The chef here is a pro!
Hands down the best Caribbean food in Barrie . I ve been there lots and the staff is always friendly and the food never disappoints:)
Thats what you get with the back door open all the time and flies everywhere. I walk behind the place all the time. Magnet screen for a door is always half open. Discussting. Food
ordered the curry pork because a few other options had sold out already. curry pork was 9/10 and Ill be returning soon. Food
Great food and friendly service! We will absolutely return!
Had two chicken patties, dammed they were good. Best pastry I ve tried so far.
Amazing restaurant. Went there with my family, I was greeted like I ve know the staff for 20yrs. Food was amazing!! Felt like I was back in the Caribbean. My wife is a very picky eater, and the bbq chicken and rice she ordered was devoured lol. Definitely going back, had the ox tail (amazing) can t wait to try something else.
What an amazing establishment. Great staff and even better food. You will be happy you made the trip
Cant get enough of this restaurant
Great food. Great prices.
PERFECT Oxtail with rice and peas and coleslaw! Highly recommend! The music was amazing too made my day better!
Real Caribbean flavour
This morning like other morning before I go to work I once again pick up some amazing porridge today s porridge was roasted cashews and oat. Mmmmmm . I also picked up Iggy and selfish with some food and stew chicken with white rice. Everything always taste amazing
Delicious, tasty food. Very very welcoming staff. I definitely recommend it and would go back to this city just to have a meal from Carib Dish. Thank you guys for the smile and taking care of my family.
The food was delicious, and the staff were very friendly and positive. A cherry on top is that they let you sample the food. I m definitely going to be coming back.
Guess what? It was one of the best meals I ve ever had at one of the best places. But more importantly, the staff here were amazing so cool, professional, and friendly. They created such a warm and welcoming atmosphere, which made the whole experience even better, and we thoroughly enjoyed the food. Thank you! Definitely give it a try.
I had a jerk chicken with black bean rice. It was excellent! The chicken was flavorful and juicy and the rice was cooked to perfection. And the portions are generous Vegetarian options: They offer good vegetarian dishes.
I ordered the Oxtail Meal, and it was absolutely yummy . Will definitely order again!
Been waiting for a great Caribbean food spot in Barrie! Great price, portions, and most importantly delicious food! Ive ordered their Jerk Chicken through Uber Eats a few times now and have not been disappointed in the slightest. I recommend trying their menu out
Curry chicken potatoes rice coleslaw. food .
Amazing food! Staff are great!
This is my 2nd time. First order I could not eat the rice and peas as it tasted like it was cooked it dirty water. The jerk chicken at the time was over cooked and I tasted no jerk flavour. However I wanted to give a 2nd try and ordered from door dash. The rice and peas has improved but no flavour almost tasted like no coconut milk was added, or the regular stuff for flavour. The oxtail, you could tasted sugar added and for the price literally 4 pieces with gravy makes it looked like more. I love Caribbean food and I have tried all places in Barrie this, is at the bottom of my list.
Best in town
Great people and even better food. I previously had ordered from them but they had turned off their oxtail, not only did they compensate by adding a rum cake but my next order they gave me extra oxtail. My hats off to Carib dish for ups you don t costumer service but also for their fantastic
Delicious and generous portions. Even let me taste a sample before choosing. Made the choice very difficult, so I ordered the 2 meat option! excellent service.
Vegetarian options: Lots of options. Food
Finally got to try and did not disappoint, smelled - looked - and tasted great! YUM
I am very disappointed with this place. When I walked in, the server was sitting and eating. It took him a while to get up and take my order. I ordered a shrimp roti, but it had carrots and pumpkin in it, and the tails were left on the shrimp. It was awful. I dont recommend this place.
Great Caribbean restaurant in Barrie. Excellent portions, taste and service. Had jerk chicken and barbecue chicken. Lovely grilled flavour. Will definitely be back to try more dishes.
ordered based on the good reviews, but rice was not fully cooked on both of my orders and coleslaw was missing.. Jerk pork was mediocre at best. Not happy at all and not coming back.
We stopped by to eat on a Sunday around 8pm, it was our first time trying Carib Dish. I was hesitant at first as I didnt think the food would be fresh at that time of the night. My husband convinced me to try it and I m so glad we did! The chef brought out freshly cooked items and everything we tried tasted amazing. The food was on point, the staff were all friendly and you can tell that the chef really had a passion for good food and feeding people. This is my new Caribbean food stop in Barrie, hands down everything we tried had good seasoning and spice. I m Caribbean so this is important!! Thank you Carib Dish
Portions were generous and delicious, will return
So excited to find amazing jerk chicken again in Barrie. Great serving sizes for very fair prices. Loved the menu options offering other carribean dishes not just JA not that i have any issues whatsoever with JA food. Such a fun vibe, easy parking. Tried oxtail dinner too was so tasty. Their rice n peas had excellent flavor, coleslaw was fresh and not over saturated with dressing. All in all a great experience they will do well and finally break the bad vibe at this location that led to other businesses coming and going over the years. I know bc i lived in this neighborhood (Holly!) for almost 20 years now lol. Keep up the great work guys !
Amazing food and great people! I haven t found a dish that I don t like from this place and they re always so friendly as well. I would post a picture, but I always end up devouring the food before taking one. Food
I went to buy 2 items but I bought 10 lol as I waited the friendly owner let me try porage and corn soup so I had to buy corn soup food on point I had oxtail goat jerk chicken all was really good
2024: 5/5 - Jerk chicken (5/5) is the best in the GTA, without question! Nicely spiced, delicious flavour, and quite filling. Do note, if you find Franks Hot Sauce hot you best not get this as my wife found it too hot, but for me it was SO DELICIOUS! ~~~~~ Their curried goat (3/5) and rice and peas (NOT made with gungo peas) (3/5) are okay but still the jerk chicken MORE than made up for that. VERY friendly and courteous service, will return! Place is new so was very clean inside the restaurant.
Amazing food and wonderful people!
This place is phenomenal! No bad choices possible!
This place completely blew me away. Firstly, the owner is extremely generous, passionate and personable. We walked in with no expectations and he gave us samples of every single dish and couldn t wait to see our faces light up (which they did)! We ended up spending $80 because we simply kept ordering more and more after taste testing. Never did I think I d be ordering soup in 28 degree weather the food felt authentic and the meat melted in our mouths. I regret not walking in here sooner. I wish this place success, they are so deserving of it!!
We ordered a Jerk Chicken meal and a side of Fried Chicken and were not disappointed. Service was great Chef came out to say hi , really great desserts and menu. Keep up the great work , God bless
The food here is great. Ordered Ribs, oxtail and jerk chicken and all were well seasoned and tasted very good. Loved the service as well. I recommend dining here
Thank you for everything today it was awesome and amazing to see you today the food was amazing. May God continue to bless your food business with multiple fold of blessing coming your way and people who come in and out of your amazing Carib restaurant shower you with more blessing.
Ordered twice now through Ubereats and the food was fantastic! The only thing worth mentioning is that the packaging could use an upgrade. Whenever I order something saucy/juicy, the containers will leak into the delivery bag. The second time it was literal soup at the bottom...but otherwise its delicious and still def recommend their food.
Jerk chicken , rice/peas and coleslaw tastes so good and is ready quick. Bossman behind the counter is shredded too xD
This is definitely the best Jamaican/Caribbean restaurant in outside of Toronto, in Toronto and the GTA. Cooked food. Proper spices. Pleasant atmosphere. Authentic to the core. I pray they never sell or make this a franchise. Better than Chubbys, better than Allywns, better than Alberts, better than Mainsha, better than Miss Likklemores and for sure better than Sunrise. I look forward to the Toronto location
*Service was fast and efficient *Decor was nice, caribbean vibe, beautiful mural that incorporated all the islands *The food was PROPER, food was flavorful, and all down to the bone of the meat was flavored. *We had the BBQ Chicken and Macaroni pie, Ackee and Saltfish with bakes, and Jerk Chicken on a waffle The food was great, we highly recommend this spot. If youre in Barrie and want a taste of the Caribbean, check them OUT!!!!
We tried this restaurant three times ,so far, and have ordered the jerk chicken and festivals and it has been consistently good. We brought the fried chicken as well and the feedback was that was goo as well. The prices are quite affordable and staff extremely pleasant.
This restaurant should be highly rated.!! I order the jerk chicken Quesadilla and jerk chicken wrap OMFG.!! This is way to delicious and taste nice I m done eating the Quesadilla can t wait to unwrap the chicken wrap
My wife and I were told to try this Caribbean restaurant on the south side of Barrie. It was awesome food. The curried goat was tender and full of flavor and the ox tail was fantastic! The macaroni pie was sweeter than I ve had before but delicious. And the apple, kale, mint, ginger drink was just what we needed after a day in the hot sun. Check it out when you go through Barrie. Worth it.
Just had one of the best jerk chicken dinners I have had in years. Slow spicy build, excellent with the beans and rice. Would post a photo, but it has already been decimated.
This place has the potential to be something great. The first time I was there, the food was amazing, customer service a little scattered, and my order was not right. But I understood as the place was new and just young guys working. Now, the second time I went there, the food was ok, I dont recommend the plantain as it is refried and soaked in oil but yet not fried and crispy. Other customers were not satisfied as well, one actually demanded his money back. Personally I think with better management the place could be amazing. Just a little fine tuning.
First Caribbean restaurant me and the wife been to in Barrie and the food is so so GOOD(good is an under statement).. wife had the coconut fish and stir fly.... Simple amazing #473
I am very disappointed as my husband and I walk in the restaurant for the first time and before I could place my order, the guy behind the counter start to scratch his head...he served the person ahead and didnt even try to wash his hands before he did handling...the lack of hygiene is a big disappointment...sorry...
We were here for my mother s surprise birthday with 20ppl. The owner and the team were super accommodating and extremely helpful with planning for the special event menu. We also had 2 young children with us and were surprised with the options available to them which they loved. The Oxtail, Jerk Pork and the Goat Roti were the favourites of the group! The kids loved the festivals as a treat as well. They even did a complimentary hot wing eating challenge with us and the hot sauce on them was fantastic! Highly recommended for anyone that is ok with spice. Overall it was a great experience. Food for both dine in and take out is a must try. We are excited to try their catering options at our next family bbq as well! Happy to finally have an authentic Caribbean restaurant in Barrie. Well done!
Hands down the best food in Barrie, you just can t compete with the flavours and the service, and the portions are great as well, always satisfied after eating here
Carib Dish is amazing. The one thing that stood out to me was the customer service. The staff are phenomenal and the owner is very professional, welcoming, and kind. The food was absolutely delicious. We tried the BBQ and fried chicken combos, festivals, along with the curry goat. Everything was seasoned perfectly, and the portions were more than generous. I would go on to say that its probably the best Caribbean restaurant in Barrie. I highly recommend. 10/10
Good food
No respect. No welcome. Nothing. I just left the store after good 10 mins without any welcome Must be this is another business closing down soon.
I saw the reviews on IG however, some places you still need to research for yourself.. I ordered on Uber late on a Friday evening a bunch of items and later was contacted by a staff member informing me they were out two items that I ordered ..They requested to exchange the items for something else which was ok however one of the items I really wanted to try. I expressed my concerns and the gentleman I spoke with asked if I was ok for them to cancel my uber driver and he would request another one for me on his end (I was actually willing to drive to pick up the order)..I said ok and left it with the restaurants to do their thing.. I am SO PLEASED that they made a fresh batch for me.. The food was so tasty that I had to call the store and thanked them personally for going above and beyond. Food 9/10 Customer Service 10000/10 They now have a new regular customer!!!! Ps Food pics was after we sample/tried the food..Other items did not make the picture review as it was eaten before the camera came out
Good food!!
Hands down the best Caribbean food weve ever had!! Ordered curry goat and the ribs...oh my!! To die for
Had their chickpea curry a few times. Nice spot nice service Food : 4/5
Very taste chicken roti, however lots of bones!
Service was awesome, food was awesome and the price was awesome!! Highly recommended for anyone who wants good food, good flavor for a good price .. I have travelled throughout the Caribbean and these flavor profiles are definitely authentic and bring me back to the warm tropics. Cheers to all , enjoy..
I live around the corner and didnt notice the change of restaurant until today. Ordered the jerk chicken with rice, and the jerk chicken waffles. Food was great, no complaints. I was also given a sample of the curry goat, which was quite good. Ill definitely come back to try more. Thanks guys.
Family meal for 4. Generous portions, amazing Currie and jerk chicken with sides for a very reasonable price! My brother told me about this place and I would highly recommend it. Great staff as well who made me smile Parking: Easy in and out
The food is so fresh and great quality the cooking is out of this world, it s made from the heart for sure because it s homemade and delicious. I ordered the jerk chicken the chicken was so juicy and the spices were amazing!!!!!!!! Sent my taste buds for the best ride ever, I highly recommend this place for good food. The Pattie s are also so delicious and moist. Friendly staff, fresh food you can t go wrong!
Delicious, flavorful food! We tried the coconut steam salmon meal, jerk stir fry and the macaroni pie! All were fantastic! We will be back for sure.
Great place to eat. Best curry goat In barrie. Will definetly be back.
I ve recently moved to Barrie from the city and have been jonesing for a yummy Caribbean spot near me. I felt like taking a different route home today and I caught this restaurant at the corner of my eye. OMG I m so happy I found this place. I was welcomed by a really nice man up front. He had a very warm and welcoming energy. I ordered their jerk chicken and I kid you not, it s absolutely up there for some of the best I ve had! I ve been to SO many spots and this one absolutely did NOT disappoint. The meat was tender. So tender it was fall-off the bone. The portion? Huge. He even let me sample the ox tail (which I mentioned I was originally going to get) and it was amaaaazing. The flavour is there and the meat was just SO tender. I had the jerk chicken with some of tail gravy. Chef s kiss. There wasn t a dry bit of the meal and I already want to go back for seconds. Don t walk, run to this place. 10/10 in my books. I m so excited to go back!
Being vegetarian, I enjoyed veggie patty and veggies stir fry, recommended by Devon. Amazing team.
Just stopped and had an oxtail first time here amazing food is delicious Portion sizes out of this world I will be back 100% if you love Caribbean food it s a must try !!!
We ordered for a team lunch, food was amazing! Staff was also very friendly and efficient.
Ohh man this one of the best Caribbean restaurants Did I just say one of the best ? Oh man this is the best Caribbean restaurants I ve ever seen More successful business Food : 5/5 |
Kid-friendliness: It was a family restaurant. Food
Hearty Caribbean food served with love, great portions, and variety.
Ordered family for 6 on the website for mothers day. Got the Jerk, BBQ, fried chicken, and I was given the option to get half white rice and rice and peas. My family loved the meal. They did not disappoint. Will go again. Thank you!
Best in Barrie by far
Tried the Curry Chicken Roti, Ox tail and Fried Chicken with rice and peas. The portions were incredibly generous, ensuring that we left feeling satisfied and well-fed. What stood out to me the most was the exceptional customer service we received. The staff was friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure that we had a pleasant dining experience. Not to mention, the prices were very reasonable and affordable, making it a great value for the quality of food and service.
HANDS DOWN THE BEST CARIBBEAN FOOD IVE HAD SINCE JAMAICA You cannot find authentic Jamaican food anywhere in Barrie. I have looked high and low. We had the spicy jerk chicken, mac and cheese pie, and plantain Absolutely incredible. Service is excellent and food is fresh! If you havent tried, I highly recommend it will not disappoint. I will be be bringing my whole family to try next time they say they have a craving for jerk.
I was anxious to try the food and was not disappointed! There were huge orders infront of me close to 9pm and I had to wait for fresh jerk chicken to be cooked. While I waited I was pleasantly surprised by a complimentary plate of very tasty shrimp and rice with veggies! Very tasty and very thoughtful of the staff as it was a long wait. The Jerk chicken was really really good and worth waiting for! Ill be back for sure !
After trying the food provided in a work meeting. Me and my wife made trip to go find the location, after running a few errands. Before you know it, we was inside and checking out the menu. The staff are super friendly and the food is amazing (Im a very picky eater for the record). I decided to make an order big enough to take to my parents house. Everyone was highly satisfied and will definitely become frequent customers. Right now I can barely move, because I over indulged and dont regret it. Make sure you give your support and tel your friends and family.
Food was super good! The owner was wonderful ! Would eat here everyday!
This is a Caribbean restaurant that takes creative liberty and incorporates a number of different styles of cooking from various islands. The creativity is what makes this food amazing.
Great customer service was the best. The owner and workers were super friendly. Got to sample the food before actually placing an order. It s just the best
My family and I had a scrumptious experience. The food was delicious . The combination of the different Caribbean herbs and spices was perfectly marinated and infused in the meats. We had the Oxtail, fried chicken, and Curried goat. How could I forget the side orders and dessert . The chefs soup special Coconut vegetable run dung soup was amazing. It brought back memories of the original Jamaican run dung dish. The pudding and fruit were extremely flavourful and melted inside my mouth. Thank you, Carib dish, for a wonderful dining experience. Continue to exhibit excellent customer service, clean facility, and authentic food. This restaurant is a must to try. Trust me, you will not regret it.
Just tried Carib Dish for the first time. We had the Jerk Chicken with Ox tail stew --- absoloutely fantastic. The chicken was so moist and flavourful, and the Ox Tail stew was a wonderful compliment. Will we be back? You better believe it!
I enjoy this place soo much
Excellent food and great service! Strongly recommend, will definitely be my go to place.
Thank God for TikTok, TikTok made me buy it I m telling you I enjoy the food. Immensely the customer service was excellent. The atmosphere was superb. The service was just amazing. The suggestion the server was excellent. I enjoyed every bit of it. I wish them all the success and I definitely be going back
Food is Amazing!! They cater to everyone and can modify most meals! Their Jerk chicken stir fry is the best
Best food in Barrie!!! Ive tried them all and carib dish hands down!!
I love their food...
Very wonderful family run business, very friendly, delicious food, great affordability
Good food, great service, wonderful friendly people
We ordered the oxtail poutine and the curry goat with rice and peas. The food was seasoned very well and tasty. Only complaint was the oxtail should have been boneless on the poutine. Would definitely go back.
Second visit.Went to try their oxtail. I clearly asked for steam veggies and the guy still gave me coleslaw. I asked for hot sauce on the side. The guy went to kitchen I waited for a few minutes just to be told they didn t have it. I find this very strange because there s 2 full bottles at the front on display and they clearly sell this brand Turn up or something. Anyways I am completely turned off. You just lost a customer. I m going back to Irie Jerk and Happy Mango, their customer service is waaaay better. I get this food at least once a week. Food ain t bad but you need to treat everyone equally. Customer service goes a very long way.
We saw this on social media and were super excited to try Barrie s newest Caribbean restaurant. It s hard to find good Jamaican food up here. Sad to say we were disappointed. The food was extremely bland, no flavor at all. Coleslaw was dry. My husband took a few bites and had to go order food elsewhere because he couldn t finish it. If you are wanting to try I would suggest going earlier in the day. Maybe they flavor their food better then.
Food is amazing great service Won t be disappointed Food
A 10 star restaurant (if that s possible). Utterly delicious food and great service. Highly recommend
Exceptional service, and the food is always fresh! This carib spot always hits the spot! They doubled up my jerk chicken poutine and it was absolutely delicious. Yet to try more of their dishes! Food : 5/5
Amazing food!. We decided to come after hearing about this restaurant and it was well worth the drive. Everything tasted amazing, not over seasoned, not over spicy everything we got was excellent. Food
Have come for takeout a few times but the quantity of the food is NOT consistent. Which is a shame. On the beginning they give nice portions. Ordered BBQ chicken dinners and got 2 small pieces of chicken when they normally give 3 to 4 good size pieces. Alot of restaurants start out good then cut back on the food. Which is not good for business.
Best Caribbean food in Barrie. Complements to the chef. If you are in the area thats the place to get some great food.
Great jerk chicken, great service, great portions. For sure worth checking out. Best spice level in barrie.
Awsome Cheff. Lovly energy food super fantastic!!!! Best jerk in Barrie.
Amazing service. Friendly staff. Great Roti. Barrie needed this.
I bought oxtail and jerk chicken and let me tell you something that food was good the maccaroni pie is good too
Jerk chicken rice and peas lots of oxtail gravy.
Im so happy to have my favourite food right around the corner. My wife and I ordered a Chicken Roti and Jerk Chicken Roti. They were both absolutely delicious! If youre around for breakfast certainly give the porridge a try! Everything looked so amazing - Im looking forward to visiting again to try some new things. All of the Fellas are really friendly and welcoming.
Food is always amazing! Super friendly staff and a great atmosphere. My new favourite spot!! Highly recommend!
Update: decided to give another chance and Im glad I did. BEST JERK CHICKEN EVER!!! Waited 45 minutes after I ordered for my food to be ready. Once I got home I realized they gave the wrong food. Went to the restaurant to get what they didnt give me (oxtail). They gave me the roti they orginally sent me home with. Returned home to finally eat my food. Realized they gave me 3 beef patties, I had ordered 4. Over all the food is alright but definitely not the best in Barrie. The vibe in the restaurant is very Caribbean, kudos to them for that. Hopefully once they are open for a while the service will get better. Theres definitely a smell in the restaurant but I dont think its any fault of their own as it smelled the same when the last restaurant was there. I feel bad for the Jamaican guy who was at the cash, he was doing so well but his partner dishing the food could be alot for efficient.
Food is amazing, so much flavour, big portions and very friendly owners. Definitely ordering from here again.
The food is good. I came from far away just to go try the food. The waffle and jerk taste amazing. Could use a bit more chicken though Mac pie was very delicious as well.
I came in and the owner was talking up a customer and telling him he really appreciates him and blah blah blah.. I was picking up a delivery order for his business and not even once did he say thank you to me and tell me that he appreciates me when I m delivering orders for HIS customers. Saw a similar review about a customer complaining about customer service and treating people equally. Clearly that s still not going on here. Just because I m a delivery driver doesn t mean I m not a customer too! In fact, I m picking up orders on BEHALF of your customers!
Normally their food is on point and amazing which is why I m not going lower than 4, I d never complain about this spot. But the breakfast I received this morning was no up to par for the first time. The money I paid for Ackee and Salish and this is what I get? I should be paying for the price of a side of provision and not Ackee and salt fish. Portion is laughable and the taste wasn t there. Like I said, normally this place hits the spot so whoever the chef was this morning needs to do better.
Awesome food, super friendly and fun service! Highly recommend!
Great place to have Caribbean meal. I recommend this place. Food
I met Devon and he was so friendly and knowledgeable about menu options. I really enjoyed my meal and he offered me small samples as it was my first time coming there. Prepare to wait briefly as most of the food is made fresh to order. I can t wait to visit again and bring my family there. The restaurant was clean and hospitable. My food was fresh, hot and so tasty! Thank you Carib Dish wishing you guys much success!
Just had their Jerk Chicken & Waffle and it was the best food Ive had in awhile. It was amazing with all of the flavours that were put into this dish. The staff were so kind and friendly. Will definitely be coming back for more.
Enjoyed a great meal at Carib Dish with their Oxtail and BBQ Chicken, both served with rice and peas. While the oxtail could use a bit more flavor, the overall experience was rewarding. To have another carribean restaurant in the city. Definitely coming back for more family meals!
New place I recently passed by and had to stop and try the Caribbean food. I ordered the jerk chicken w/ rice & peas. The jerk chicken was very flavourful and very tasty and very tender. Also, the seasoning was amazing and had a variety of flavors and not just relying on the jerk season by itself. The spice level (scotch bonnet part of the seasoning was just right as it has a very nice kick to it without being too hot and just having the pepper flavour as the main taste for the jerk chicken. Ive tried a few places in the past to explore how the meals are prepped and seasoned and cooked and then the taste test begins! Ill definitely be back to try out more dishes for sure. Also the service was excellent and very down to earth feel for me!
Seeing that the place is just a week old, I hope this constructive feedback will help them get better. Called to order a curry chicken roti and a curry goat with rice and peas meal. Drove home 20 minutes to find out they gave me a curry goat roti instead of the rice and peas meal. The roti shell was very dry and tasted stale. It would have been manageable if they included adequate amounts of gravy, but they did not. In fact, the curries were not sufficient. Half the roti shells had to be thrown away because it just wasnt appetizing. Curry goat - dry and the meat was very chewy. Not the tender feel you associate with West Indian curry. It also lacked flavour. Should cook it longer and add seasoning. Curry chicken - lacked flavour and gravy. First experience was disappointing. I hope they pay more attention to detail and offer more filling and better tasting dishes. I will go back at some point to try the other dishes as I am sure this can be attributed to growing pains. But I really do hope they improve.
the food is not good and portions are too littke. Definitely not worth the money.
Oxtail is good but got share bone for 14.50 .. the serving should be alot more than 2 spoons. Taste good though. Kinda disappointed:(. Friendly people.
Ordered the jerk chicken, rice & peas and roti s. Amazing food and good portions sizes. It was nice to see the owner interact with the customers, and always smiling
Food is bless 10/10 best spot in Barrie Food
Great atmosphere, friendly staff and most importantly great food.
Great food and wonderful people everyone so welcoming come try!!
Feb/2024. Ordered on Uber eats and they were out of jerk pork which happens, no problem. Owner called me directly and made sure I was able to come pick it up next day. Very impressed and he made sure I was set up next day. The jerk pork was UNREAL. Maybe the best jerk pork meal I ve ever had. Owner was very nice. I will be back again 100%.. new favourite jerk spot in Barrie. Oh and the jerk chicken was amazing as well.
Great tasting, authentic caribbean food! I love the variety and unique menu items! 10/10!!!!!

The service was amazing! Very nice people. The food was amazing too. A nice amount of spice and delicious seasonings
Tried there Cinnamon Porridge and that is worth giving a try once. I love it. Definitely coming back to try more.!
The food was delicious. Ox-tale was moist and spiced perfectly. Honestly the food tasted like home!
Food was delicious and good portions.
We had the dinner platter for 4 and it was absolutely amazing! Great size portions, too. We got the jerk chicken, curry chicken and macaroni pie and everything was delicious. So happy we tried it out, we ll definitely be coming back!
Fantastic lunch. Bright and cheery.
Amazing food!!! Highly recommended. Best Jamaican food in Barrie. Come and try it you will not regret it. Keep up the great work of bringing authentic Jamaican Food to Barrie. Food
Order curry chicken and tasted awful tasted like it was spoiled and no flavor.
The food and service is the best in the world!
Staff are genuinely happy to see you! We tried the Jerk Chicken on waffle, Curry Chicken Roti, Oxtail. Plantain was perfectly ripened and prepared, Chicken curry was fragrant, roti shell was perfect, oxtail was flavourful. We expected the jerk chicken to be hotter. It was flavourful nonetheless. Coleslaw was spot on! May this place keep bringing everyone those amazing Trini flavours! So far, the best in Barrie, and Ive been looking!
Amazing food and Great service!
Amazing food, we ordered a Curry Chicken Roti, Jerk Chicken meal and the kids Mac and Cheese meal. Everyone enjoyed thanks for the amazing services.
I love that restaurant, family-friendly and very good service. Food are so fresh and delicious. Very authentic
Good Taste and great value for money. Service was a bit slow but nice people Def coming back. Food
Jerk Chicken and waffles so tasty with gravy! thank you!!
Ordered takeout from here as wanted to try this new restaurant. The owner Devon was super friendly. Ordered the curry chicken roti (hot) , jerk chicken (hot) and curry chicken (hot). Online it does, mild, medium, hot so I Ordered hot. I was disappointed that it came very mild. When you think of carribean food you think if exotic flavours and a certain spice level. I think the food is cooked mild so you need to ask for hot sauce on the side. The curry chicken roti was good. The curry chicken on its own was good as well. The chicken was a slight but pink on the inside. I think it needed a few more minutes. I would have preferred more gravy as well. . The jerk chicken was very good. Full of flavour and this did have a nice kick to it. The prices were good I might add. Overall good food but not that wow factor I was looking for. However I will try them again. They only recently opened so hopefully over time and other feedback they will get better.
March 15th 2024. First time trying your food. Restaurant is bright and clean very helpful staff asking me all the right questions in order to serve me. Jerk chicken dinner was absolutely delicious. I will definitely be back for some of the other offerings. Thank you for the great food.
amazing food, amazing customer service, i had a wonderful time. I hope Carib Dish sticks around forever! will be going back very soon
Festival, fried plantain, macaroni pie and roti were all fresh and delicious. Service was great too! Highly recommend. Vegetarian options: Excellent assortment of vegetarian options!
Great flavoured food! Fair portions... Great customer service. I cant wait to try everything on the menu Food
Carib Dish is a new Caribbean restaurant in the Southwest end of Barrie. They are super friendly and the food is soooo delicious! I love the location bc its so close home and it beats having to drive through traffic to go downtown or the Southeast end. Welcome to the neighbourhood and keep up the great work!
Great atmosphere and even better food! Best place for Jerk chicken and oxtail in Barrie!
Tried the jerk chicken, and I gotta say it was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Lots of menu options sure to make the whole family happy. Busy opening day and the team handled it like pros!! Well done and cant wait to try more.
We went to the grand opening. The jerk chicken was delicious and I loved the rice. My kids really liked the Macaroni Pie we also ordered.
Ordered for the first time today (Feb 20th, 2024) food was delicious, oxtail, jerk chicken and ribs were all fabulous. Owner was super friendly and nice. Ill come back again thanks!
I Went there opening day food was amazing, very authentic Caribbean cuisine, I tried a variety of different foods, jerk chicken rice and peas and coleslaw. Cooked to perfection, super juicy and spiced just right. Rice and peas had a vibrant coconut flavour. Jerk pork was super tender with the macaroni pie. My fork easily went through both. Oxtail was banging. They have so many options for everyone on their menu and prices will have me coming back again and again!!! I can t wait to try the breakfast menu. Owner Devon and KerryAnn were so welcoming and inviting, I wish you the best on your new restaurant!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best in Barrie
Tried the jerk chicken at their grand opening today and will definitely be returning! The chicken was very flavourful and rice and peas was delicious. Owner was very passionate and charismatic. Happy to have this family owned business in our neighborhood!
I recently moved from Toronto to Barrie and it s nice to see more Caribbean food spots opening up in Barrie! Carib Dish is walking distance from my home, so I decided to check them out on opening day. I got one jerk chicken and one fry chicken combos, both were good and well seasoned!l
Really enjoyed this place. Food is good and restaurant is bright and clean.
Really friendly staff and amazing food. The amount of food you get for the price is great as well. One thing I would say is it include knifes in the take out bag, as it was hard to eat the Jerk chicken with just a fork, otherwise it was a great experience!
Tried their curry goat today and was pleasantly surprised. The food was really good, probably the best Ive had so far in the Barrie area. Restaurant is clean, the staff is friendly and unlike the competition down the road you actually get to see what you are being served.
Food was great! They have only been open for 3 days so they still need to find their rhythm, but the wait was totally worth it the Jerk pork and Oxtail were delicious. I have been looking for a good Caribbean restaurant in Barrie for a while and this might be the place! I will definitely be back.
I m vegan and the coconut and turmeric stew with rice and beans. Definitely hit the spot! Thank you Devon and Karryann! Delicious! Dietary restrictions: I was grateful there were food options for me as a vegan.
The food was absolutely phenomenal, the folks in there are some of the nicest people youll ever meet, 100% absolutely recommend
Just ate at Carib Dish, Devon and his family served us up an incredible meal. We lost power at our house and decided to give the Carib Dish a try. What a great find! The customer service was fun and friendly, it s a wonderful family atmosphere. We ordered a jerk pork, rice and beans and steamed veggies meal and a jerk chicken, rice and beans with Mac& cheese and Cole slaw both for take out. I m stuffed staring at the leftovers the meals were generous and the prices were more than fair. Thanks for bringing some Caribbean sunshine into our wintery snowy day
We ordered some take out online for a family meal and the portions were good, great flavor, very tasty. Good value, friendly service. We enjoyed it very much and plan to get it again. Next time I hope to get me some Black Cake!
The food was amazing. Everything I ordered was fresh and melt in your mouth with flavour.
Delicious! It s hard finding good Carribean cuisine in Barrie. I ordered their Mac and cheese and Fried chicken with rice and peas and I must say I m impressed. It reminds me of the authentic Jamaican food sold in Toronto.
Hands down the best Jamaican food I have ever tried.
