Best Jamaican Food & one of the best waitresses in Orlando. I visit Mark's close to 2-3 times a week. They have the best fresh Jamaican food in Orlando. The restaurant itself could use a makeover. It looks a little run down and could use some updating. But the food is amazing. My boyfriend and I have had probably everything on the menu and we've never been disappointed. The beef patties are hit and miss sometimes and wish they would make more for the demand they get because sometimes they run out. We like to go in the evenings and Saturdays days because of one of their amazing waitresses they have. Her name is Hannah and she has probably been there close to 2 years now. She knows our favorites by heart and we usually don't even have to tell her she just knows and gets our food ready for us. They seem to have a large turn around with workers there but Hannah has been there for awhile and is the best waitress I have ever had at any restaurant. I like the mom & pop feeling and seeing her smiling face each time we walk in. We have come before and Hannah wasn't working that night and we have left without ordering and came back another day. I love the call ahead option they offer so by the time you get there your food is hot and waiting for you. A must for anyone to visit or become a regular like myself. Cody is a really nice chef there and offers items for vegans which is a plus too.

Best Jamaican Food In Orlando!. In my opinion, Mark’s Caribbean Cuisine has the best Jamaican food in the city! The portions are big enough to share and the food is full of flavor. Although I no longer live in the area, I still make it my business to stop by for guaranteed authentic delicious Jamaican cuisine every time I visit Orlando. I have tried and loved every item on the menu. The Jerk Chicken has the perfect mix of spices and the Oxtails are succulent and tender. The Curry Chicken and the Curry Goat are well seasoned but my favorite will always be the Escoveich Fish! The food is soooo good, it’s worth writing a review.
The restaurant is clean and welcoming. The service provided by the staff is always courteous and they make you feel like family the minute you walk through the door. If you get a chance to meet Mark, then you are in for a treat! Just like the staff, he is down to earth and full of vibes!
Whether you choose to dine in or take out, I highly recommend this place to everyone who loves flavor and Caribbean food.
Great Find!. Our family loved this place! We will be back for sure!
Very good food! They FILL up your plate. Brown stew chicken is on like popcaaan.Great staff.

What a gem!. After five days in the Kissimmee/Disney gastronomic wasteland, Mark's restaurant was a much welcomed delight.
We traveled over 35 miles to his restaurant after reading positive reviews on Urbanspoon. The restaurant is located in a nondescript strip mall in the suburbs of Orlando, but don't let these first impressions fool you. The effort was worth it in every way and we were happy beyond our expectations. Four hungry adults and two picky children (10-11 years old) were served very generous portions at a very reasonable price.
The meal started out with Mark himself bringing out a complimentary tasting platter consisting of six choices (jerk chicken, oxtail, curry chicken, curry goat, etc.) to help us decide what to order.
We had the jerk chicken, curried goat, brown chicken (I think that's what it was called), and shrimp curry. All were served with rice and beans and very tasty lightly steamed cabbage. The brown chicken was split into two portions in a very generous way (with full servings of rice) for the children. The kids and adults all also enjoyed Mark's home made sorrel juice with ginger.
Being from Toronto, I have a lot of experience with jerk chicken and I can say that Mark's would rank very high based on my experience. As for the rest of the family, we left with:
- the kids asking to come back the next day
- the adults asking Mark for recipes (!)
- my younger son asking for a second serving of sorrel juice
- six very happy and full people (including my extremely picky older son)
- the feeling that Mark truly appreciates his customers and takes his food very seriously
Mark, thanks for an excellent experience.
I highly recommend Mark's Caribbean Cuisine to anyone in the Orlando and central Florida area.

I've eaten a lot of jerk and this is real deal. The curry goat had just enough heat
Food was incredible. I'm not an expert on Jamaican food but I do know what good food tastes like and that was good food. I had the jerk pork and a patty and my wife had curry chicken. All of it was delicious and the portions were huge. The service was also great and the staff very friendly. I would go back in a heartbeat and so should you.
Excellent food!. I visited this evening for the first time. The food was excellent! I purchased some beef patties, chicken curry, shrimp curry, and roti. Everything was very tasty and fresh! I will be sure to visit more often. The first caribbean place I've found located East of Orlando. I love it. If you want great Caribbean food, give them a chance, you won't be disappointed! The customer service was excellent too ... I'll be going back for sure!
The best Jamaican cuisine on the East side of town! I keep coming back for more every other week!
Really authentic food! Tastes great and the plantains are the best I've ever had.
After 4.5 years at UCF I finally eat at this place. Right by where the legendary pounders used to be. Sooo much food great meal. Def worth checking out!!!
Good Jamaican Food. The food at Mark's is super good. I haven't taste good food like this in awhile. I didn't even take leftover home, instead I fulled my stomach to the max!!! The jerk chicken is the best jerk chicken I ever taste!!! Everyone should check this place out!!!!
Customer Service, Great Food, Great Atmosphere. No where else in Orlando treats people nicer. I have been twice now and both times the staff how you are doing? The amount of food is amazing and it is the best food for the best prices period.
AWESOME. Their patties are really good. Flaxy crust with spicy beef filling. I suggest buying a ting to go with it. Its a carbonated grapefruit drink that is sold in Jamaica. I've had the oxtail and its so good. My mom ordered it and I tried to steal it from her!
Nyam!. Marks has great food, atmosphere and service. We went for lunch, and they easily accommodated 10 of us. I ordered the Jerk Chicken and Beef Patties based on a recommendation and loved it. Some other lunch partners had various curries and Rotis. All seemed to enjoy their meals. The food is fresh and delicious. The Beef Patties were fresh, unlike another local Jamaican restaurant. I look forward to going back and trying the Goa Roti.
Mark's is the Best!!!. I placed an order 15min. before they were closing and they took my order and had it ready for 15 min. after they were closing. I appreciate the fact that they took the time out to take my order and let me pick it up even though they were closing for the night. Love U Mark's Your The Best!!!

Mark's Caribbean sits in a small, somewhat shady plaza on the corner of Dean road and University Blvd. My brother Ninh and I were on our way to the park when we decided to drop by one morning. I was in the mood for some del

My girlfriend and I came here after months of contemplating whether or not to give it a try. DO NOT make the same mistake. The food is delicious and fairly priced. We walked in and were immediately greeted by staff from behind the bar. Very friendly and laid-back environment. We ordered the Jamaican patties, fried dumplings, garlic potatoes, and the jerk chicken stir fry entree with a toss salad, plantains, and rice and peas all for a little over 30 dollars. The patties had a nice mild spice from the filling, and the dough was perfectly flaky. The fried dumplings surprised me, they are fried dough, thick and chewy, and perfect for soaking up the sauces from other dishes. The first bite we had came from the garlic potatoes and let me tell you...wow, pulled me right in. A must-have. So salty, n the potatoes were boiled, soft n full of the flavor from the broth. The star of the meal, the best for last, was the jerk chicken stir fry. Medium spice level, absolutely packed with flavor, made with a variety of vegetables. Grab the entree with the dumplings...food coma guaranteed. Highly recommend, only the first visit, will have to visit again for consistency. In conclusion, awesome flavors, friendly service, and fair prices. Don't miss out on this.
I had an exceptional experience at Marks Jamaican Bar and Grill. The staff greeted me with genuine respect and engaged in delightful conversations throughout my visit. The generous portions of food were not only ample but also clearly made with love and care. I appreciate the warm atmosphere and the outstanding service. Marks Jamaican Bar and Grill has undoubtedly become my go-to place for a wonderful dining experience. Highly recommended!
Delicious spicy beef patty, clean restaurant and everyone who had been at the register both times has been polite, professional and knowledgeable about the menu. Generous portion for jerk chicken Togo
Traveling on business. So good, I went both nights of my stay. Curry goat and oxtail were outstanding.
Ordered a large tray of Jerk Chicken for our holiday potluck. A big hit with the staff!!! Meat was tender & seasoned to the bone! We asked that it be delivered at noon in preparation for lunch & order arrived at noon. Price was very reasonable. Highly recommend!
It all started when I sat down in a cushion of what seemed to be pure cloud. I thought it couldn’t get better but then I see an angel bringing me my food. My hair started elegantly flowing in the steam of my food. The chicken tasted like it was seasoned with a unicorns tears and was sprinkled with angel dandruff. I was nearly brought to tears upon taking a bite. I was shookith that my acquaintance had the audacity to tell me we had to go. Jk we could have stayed all day delicious. Three meals
Yesterday, i had the best tasting authentic Jamaican food. They catered an event I attended in Ft Myers Fl. The menu was Rasta Pasta , escovitch fish, steam fish, curry goat, brown stew chicken and pepper steak. For appetizers the fried wings were delicious and those fried shrimp were to die for. It was nostalgic to get Jamaican cocktail patty’s at an event.
There was a person on a special diet and they provided for her dietary needs.
After speaking with the owner i realized why the food is so tasty. Its made with a lot of love and care for their customers. He said that the restaurant (establishment) offers a sit down and take out service. I know where I am heading on my next Orlando trip.
If you are looking for authentic Jamaican and delicious food, no frills served with a smiling face, this the place for you. Highly recommend trying their meat patties. Wonderful people awesome service, great prices, the amount of food just wow! I dare you to eat all. We will definitely be back when we are in the area again. Thank you so much, y'all made my stomach and heart happy 💜 PS to who ever wrote the chicken was dry, not sure if you ate here, the jerk chicken fell off the bone with a fork. Thank you thank you! Peace 🥰
The food was bursting with flavor. The snapper was a bit a smaller than expected for a Caribbean restaurant. However, the delicious taste made up for the size of the mini snapper. The rice was really moist too. I enjoyed the large portion for lunch. I will be back. This spot has a great environment.
1st The Food is to die for
I eat there every weekend so that say enough
Very friendly environment
Friendly staff
This is one of the best Jamaican food places I’ve tried in the area! It definitely it the spot! I got the jerk chicken, and the flavor was perfect, chicken cooked so good!!
