Open Caribbean Kitchen,

"My search of "oxtails near me" led me here in August 2023. It is now my new favorite place to eat any time I'm in Louisville. The owner (and cook) is very friendly and inviting. I love that the portions are nice and filling. Every time I've gotten food there, they never miss! Great food every time. The oxtails were tender and NOT dried out. It comes with a lot of rice, and although the rice is flavorful, I wish I could substitute some of the rice for a different side (but that's not an option). Their house sauce is really good. It's a little pricey for the small cup, but it's still good. The Jamaican jerk spaghetti was delicious and fed my whole family from 1 order. Fyi, the spaghetti is spicy, but you can order it non-spicy, if you prefer. These are the only 2 items I ever ordered, but I'm looking forward to trying a new item next time... I'm sure it will be just as delicious. As long as the customer service, nice portion sizes, and most importantly, flavorful food remains the same... I'm a customer for life!"

"My boyfriend tried the jerk chicken tacos on Friday, and after hearing about how amazing they are for no less than 23.5 hours straight… we went back for dinner on Saturday. The tacos are worth raving about! One serving is a box of 3 HUGE tacos! I tried the jerk chicken spaghetti which they were out of but the chef was great and made it happen for me and my unprepared taste buds. Jackie, the hilarious front of house, makes you feel welcome in a laid back dine in experience , gives great insight on the menu, and will keep you cackling during your meal. If your taste buds can only handle basic spice level don’t let it deter you, the chef was more than happy to tone down the spaghetti for me and it was fantastic! The spaghetti serving is also enough for a small army or a couple of teenage boys .Hate to say the boyfriend was right, but it’s very likely we will be back for round three of tacos within the week! Highly recommend!"

"Me and my wife wanted to try this place out, and was finally able to tonight. We got the jerk spaghetti, the chicken hibachi rice, plantains, and the ox tail dinner. Everything was amazing and Ms.Jacki gives you an experience you want forget. Definitely need to give them a try!"

"Visiting from GA and read the good reviews, so we stopped by. The food was delicious! Caribbean Jerk Chicken, Stir Fry Jerk Chicken, Oxtails, Rib Tips, Jerk Wings, and Cabbage. Customer Service was GREAT! Ms. Jackie kept checking on us to make sure everything was good. We will be back when we're back in Louisville."

"Ms. Jackie was running the front and was able to take our flavor profile and match it to their menu. Very polite and knowledgeable. Ended up with jerk wings and the hibachi style skinless chicken meal. That fed my wife and I for lunch and dinner! Tons of food. Now the best part, the flavor in this food is second to none! Have had Caribbean food in DC area and NY that is no where near the flavor coming out of this kitchen. Will def be back to try a couple other dishes."
