Wow, this was a great find and Brian the chef/owner is super friendly. I had the jerk chicken and came back the next day for oxtail. Spices are on point. Plantains and the Mac were excellent, but dont sleep on the cabbage. Brings just enough heat and mixing in a veg is never bad. I travel a lot. This is a worthwhile visit if you are coming to Carlisle for the 1st time.

Bravo! This is the best Caribbean food I’ve had in a long time. First, I didnt even know this place was here. I was walking down the road and smelled the food from around the corner! The atmosphere was cool, music was on point and the food was amazing. I got the jerk ribs and chicken with rice and peas, plantains and Mac and cheese. Great value for the money. I’ll certainly make the half hour drive again. Keep it up!

We recently checked out BL Caribbean Restaurant in Carlisle and had a
good experience. The atmosphere has a nice Caribbean vibe, and the decor adds a fun touch to the dining experience. It is laid back just like the Caribbean.
We tried several dishes, and they were all solid. The goat dish was quite good, and the chicken and waffles stood out, moist and crispy, just right! The sweet plantains were a fun addition, and the mac & cheese was a big hit with the kid we had with us.
One thing we appreciated was the outdoor patio in the back. It’s cozy and shaded, making it a great spot to enjoy a meal, especially on a warm day. The dining area inside was a bit hot, though, so some fans could really help with airflow.
Having been to the Caribbean a few times, we found the food here to be authentic. The staff were friendly and attentive, which added to the overall experience.
If you’re looking for something different in Carlisle, BL Caribbean Restaurant is worth a visit. We’ll definitely be back to try more dishes!

This place is AMAZING! You have to try the jerk chicken and mac and cheese it’s out of this world! Owner is amazing and friendly. Prices are reasonable and on point. The outdoor seating area is super cute and inviting. Lemonade is refreshing and very good tasting I’d recommend. Give this place a try you won’t be disappointed!

A hidden gem in Carlisle. Stopped in today for lunch and ended up getting three different plates, curry goat, jerk chicken, and ox tail, along with all sorts of sides.
Everyone working there was pleasant and very helpful with us picking out our sides and things. Owner is a success story; going from a hot dog cart to truck to Caribbean food restaurant that serves up awesome food. The fried plant was the best I’ve ever had.
Can’t wait to go back for more!

We stopped in and found that they didn’t have a few things on the menu which was fine, we had the jerk chicken and stew chicken platter. The jerk chicken to my surprise had a wet sauce that had a type of sweet chili undertone which I did not like. The stew chicken was pretty bland and the rice and peas had an overwhelming taste of whatever spice was used. The cabbage I liked the least, it had a lot of vinegar which I’m not used to in a good cabbage. The guy was nice but it wasn’t very pleasant for someone dining in. No tv or music and the person running it had their video playing in the back loud enough for us to hear clearly but we wasn’t watching it. For $52 we wont be returning

Don’t pass this place by! It might not look like much from the street but we had a GREAT dining experience here! The jerk chicken was ! Plus plantains, red beans and rice, and Mac and cheese for sides. All also delish! We are in a cute courtyard behind the restaurant itself. And the server was the most polite! Truly, do yourself a favor and give this pja e a try.

Not sure what seasoning were used on the oxtails different, didn’t really like. but they were perfect tender and juicy. Didn’t like the rice with red beans that was new to me also, normally get rice & peas. The lemonade was delicious love the combination with the fruits. First time having sweet plantains like that, and I must say that’s my favorite new way to eat it perfect.

My wife and I just moved up from Baltimore and happened to run across this hidden gem were looking for food near me. We got a big thing of mac & cheese 20 pieces of fried chicken jerk, chicken platter and fried chicken platter. The price was amazing it literally hands-down the best fried chicken I’ve ever had and the jerk chicken was seasoned perfectly. The red beans and rice were phenomenal and the mac & cheese is to die for I 1,000,000% recommend this Restaurant to everyone. Definitely found our new favorite spot.
