My food was absolutely delicious, the jerk lasagna is amazing and plenty for a second meal. The greens were seasoned perfectly and the Mac and cheese was nice and cheesy. Food was packaged neatly and delivered on time. I will definitely order again and have already told others about Imperial Caribbean & Seafood. I can’t wait to try other items on the menu.

I ordered jerk chicken, oxtails and a curry chicken platter, mac n cheese, potato salad and greens! Everything was tastey and seasoned well. The potato salad was off the chain(or to die for ). Food was ready when I arrived and Jen was very personable and down to Earth. Definitely a place to visit when in Philly!!!

The food is crave worthy. The SNOWWW CRABBBB. i don’t know what seasoning they found to make you crave the food long after you’ve eaten it but they need to patent that stuff. The outdoor seating is beautiful on gorgeous fall day. Will travel from Jersey again to visit. Wished they delivered across the bridge.

First impressions are lasting ones. Today was my first time going there it took a hour for me to get 4 jerk wings, mac n cheese looked like it was the scraps from the bottom of the pan with burnt cheese and the cabbage was not good. For the price I was so disappointed when I got home and opened up my light platter. I’m a stick with Jamaican D from now on.

First time I had the food it was amazing..crispy fish, a little char on the honey jerk chicken, perfect plantains..sticky and sweet. The second time, I ordered the exact same thing….no where near as good, which was disappointing. I would frequent this place on a regular if it was more consistent

It was ok. They were out of alot of items this particular day. My aunts French fries came out half done and the fried shrimp were flavorful but extremely salty. Also my aunt was stung by a . The waitress did bring off spray and candles after the fact. The gentleman on the grill was extremely nice. Not sure if I would come back.

Two things that are important to me: When you’re talking about brunch, the GRITS must be on point. When you’re talking about Soul Food, the MAC N CHEESE must be on point… and they do both very well! Grits are well seasoned(you won’t need to add anything)and they’re not stingy with the shrimp in the Shrimp and Grits…and the mac is nice and cheesy!

Today, I ordered salmon, rice and collard greens. My meal arrived on time and the serving size was perfect. The meal was tasty and filling. I will be ordering again from Imperial Caribbean & Seafood. I am a satisfied customer!
