Outstanding service and delicious food. The staff at Calypso Grill went above and beyond to accommodate us, opening up the patio so we could enjoy the beautiful weather. As someone with celiac disease, I was thrilled with the gluten-free options available. I had the arepas with avocado as an appetizer, pork belly for dinner and the fantastic cinnamon rum glazed plantains for dessert (which I reluctantly shared with my fiancé). A definite recommendation for both exceptional service and incredible food.

Our first time here; what a hidden gem. Absolutely blown away by the quality food and friendly service. Everything tasted like homemade. If you want something different and you want to support local business, please visit this restaurant immediately and often!! Amazing options for Gluten Free (thank you)!!! Yuca fries and arepas with guacamole appetizer were delicious, and that was just the start! We cannot wait to go back!!

Will definitely return! The food was delicious! Everyone in our group finished their entire plate. We had decided to have lunch here based on the numerous gluten free options on their menu. My wife has an allergy and it’s not often we can get appetizers and desserts to share with the table. We had the chicken empanadas as an appetizer and they were perfect with the paired aioli. We all shared the rum infused plantains and ice cream for dessert, which was perfect after the spicy jerk chicken. The snapper and Caribbean shrimp entrees were favorites at our table. We will defiantly be back to try more of their extensive menu!

As I travel the country we decided to try this local restaurant. Unfortunately it was not a good experience. Service was unorganized and slow. After ordering the food took an extremely long time to receive. This can be a good thing if it’s home cooking but not the case here. The cubed pork was dry and not seasoned well but the BBQ sauce was good. The corn fritters had minimal corn, maybe 2 kernels per plop, were basically hush puppies with no seasoning and served with mayo that they call areola. Some chicken mash served with lettuce on top was just atrocious to look at, not flavored well and not edible. A chicken leg that was on the sampler was just gooey, parts were dry and parts were too moist. Figured it was leftover from the day before. This came with a cup of sauce that was the worst part of the meal. A mix between A1, Worchestershire and some granular substance. Nothing here is carribean or smoked properly. I normally give place a 2nd chance but not here. While in the area there is much better small companies to support. The only edible item was the Mac & cheese. If I were then I would start here and scrap everything else. We did like the art work. I have shared that info on the pictures to help support the artist.

Heard great things about this small local place in Yellow Springs. The service was good. We ordered 1. Corn fritters (4/5)- were a bit chewy for my taste. I like them a bit more crunchy. 2. Shrimp pup-a-Lickle (4/5)- the same batter as corn fritters. The shrimp was great. Got the yuca fries and plantains as my sides. The yuca fries were amazing. The plantains needs to be a bit sweeter. 3. The jerk chicken (4/5)- the chicken was spicy and cooked well. Needed a bit more jerk flavor. I haven’t tried their BBQ though.

This place has excellent customer service with no wait time. I ordered the wonderful Shrimp Pupa-Lickie. It was one of the freshest and tastiest meals I’ve ever had. The shrimp was big and breaded perfectly. The butterfly slushie was to die for

Mac and cheese, fries and collard greens were all yucky… collard greens came out COLD!!! Collard trends tasted like yams. Just wasn’t the biggest fan of the Mac and cheese, the fries had no seasoning, didn’t taste like anything. Wings, strawberry-mango soda, jerk sauce, & plantains we’re really good. Bf liked his chicken tenders but felt they were fried too hard! Chicken Empanadas were good.

Went for lunch today on a beautiful Wednesday afternoon. Had the lamb curry and pulled pork sandwich. We has the Shrimp Pup-alickie for appetizers, but ate them to fast to get a photo. Everything was hot, fresh and delicious. Service was exceptional. 10/10 would recommend.

The food and service was excellent! It was my first time there and I did not expect the level of perfection in the flavor and quality that I experienced! The pork was perfect, the eggs, the sweet potatoes, the mimosa and key lime pie!! I am definitely adding this to my favorite restaurant list!!!
