Irie Diner Caribbean Restaurant

This place is 5 stars across the board! My husband and I were on a "date night" and wanted to try a new restaurant. We were NOT disappointed! Our server was very attentive; his timing was perfect throughout all phases of our meal. The gentleman (whose name I did not catch, unfortunately) was making rounds through the dining area, making sure guests were content. He gave us each a sample of Sorrel drink; it was AMAZING, and now I'm obsessed! I never would have tried it had he not recommended it! We foolishly asked for salt and pepper before we tried our food; the entrees we ordered needed neither. I highly recommend the oxtails! The atmosphere was so welcoming and laid back. It was such a great experience, and we will DEFINITELY be back with friends/family.

One of my FAVORITE local spots of all time. The owner Peter is so humble ,kind and welcoming. always has fresh , authentic Caribbean food- made with LOVE. Service is great, portions are perfect! My fav date spot, and my fav local place. A hidden GEM !!! 🩷

Unfortunately, they served day old chicken wings. If you eat chicken , you know what day old chicken looks like. I called to address the issue and the owner defensively stated the chicken is not old and cooked fresh. This sat under a warmer for hours. Unfresh. I ordered chicken and fries meal. The owner told me he would give me a partial discount on my next order or give me five wings free without the fries. Horrible customer service and horrible to feed customers this.

I don't even know where to begin! My experience was absolutely 100 percent PHENOMENAL! Let's start from the top!! The place is located in a shopping plaza, doesn't look like much from the outside but once you enter the decor is sooo lively and inviting. My waitress, Tesha greeted me and sat me down immediately. Her personality and service were top notch. She was friendly and very inviting and made me feel welcomed which goes a loooooong way. This was my first visit to this hidden gem so I got the full experience... appetizer, entree, dessert, cocktail and a regular drink. The food was soooooooo good. It was hot, fresh, well prepared seasoned appropriately and presented very beautifully. The owner came out and checked on me and the other patrons. He was also very friendly and made me feel like I mattered as a customer. I ordered the Barbados combo platter with coconut shrimp and jerk wings, the Trinidad and Tobago Curry chicken w/ Rice and Peas and Cabbage, Strawberry swirl cheesecake, Kingston Rum Punch and a pineapple lemonade. My overall experience was a 10 out of 10. I'm already planning another dining visit with friends and family. Bravo 👏🏾 Irie Diner!! Hands down the best Caribbean food in Jax

I went to Irie's on Sunday for first time and got the brown stew chicken, cabbage, two jerk chicken patties, soursop juice, hibiscus tea. I got home to eat my food, I was soo pleased because the food was delicious and tasteful! It was so good, I went back today to get jerk chicken patties, but they were out. So I purchase this spinach patties, and a small portion of cabbage, curry chicken, and caribbean punch. The hostess and server were pleasant both times I came! Highly recommended!

I had the jerk pork, red beans and rice and cabbage. The sides were excellent but was disappointed in the pork. I lived in the Caribbean for years and was hoping for similar quality. It was just ok but not authentic. Pork is cheap. Beans,rice and cabbage are dirt cheap. For $16 the meal should come with more than five small pieces of meat.

I was referred to this place by a local, and she (Ms. Blossom, who works at the Navy Gateway Hotel, was right. The place was empty, and I chose to dine in. Not another soul in there, so I was happy. The music was good and the food was even better. I absolutely loved the curry tofu gravy. As a pescatarian, sometimes,it can be hard. The coconut shrimp was AMAZING...the fries (both sweet potato and crinkle) were perfectly seasoned. Literally, mouthwatering. I loved this place, I really did. * The curry gravy (tofu) was so good, I brought the remainder home...in a water bottle, wrapped in a small hand towel, in a plastic bag from the hotel, and into my checked luggage. I was flying out two days later.* Yes, that good.

My wife and I had a great dinner here. The jerk shrimp was excellent along with the sweet plantains. A real highlight of the meal was a coconut cake dessert. Excellent. Highly recommended.

My first trying and I will definitely be back! I placed an online order (oxtails, coconut rice and cabbage). It was fresh, flavorful and the portion was great! And I can't forget about the customer service 10/10! He was polite and showed me my food before I left! I highly recommend.

First time customer. Everything was delicious and fresh. The restaurant is clean and has a nice decor. The owner was so friendly. You won't be disappointed because everything is amazing!!!! We will be back. Thank you!
