“My family decided to visit Caribbean Deck Cafe while we were vacationing in the Poconos. From the moment we walked in, Shaine treated us like family! He allowed us to taste test a few dishes and we enjoyed talking to him about all kinds of things. As for the food itself, it felt like we were at Shaine's backyard barbeque! He kept piling it on and the portions were huge! We tried the curry goat (my favorite, though everything could arguably be considered a favorite!), the oxtail, stew chicken, and jerk chicken - each dish was full of flavor, hot/fresh, and oh so satisfying! The curry goat was seasoned to perfection, the oxtail was meaty and tasty, the stew chicken meat was fall-off-the-bone (see photo), and the spicy homemade jerk sauce was out of this world! Anytime we go to the Poconos, we plan on being back here for sure. The sides consisted of plantains and cabbage, and both paired very well with each meal. Rice options are rice and peas or white rice (rice was delicious). We dined in and appreciated the large plates and overall attentive experience. After our meal, Shaine hooked us up with sweet potato pudding and Hennessy cake on the house! And I must say: Both hit the spot! The sweet potato pudding was like a slice of sweet potato pie with pudding consistency - it was hot and sweet, and it was exactly what I needed after the amazing meal. Hennessy cake gave me rum cake vibes (note: I don't drink alcohol and am far from a connoisseur) and it was also great! We want to thank Shaine for really going above and beyond to take care of our family. The Poconos community is blessed to have him and Caribbean Deck Cafe! Every 5-Star Review is well-earned/well-deserved, and you will NOT regret visiting. Very highly recommended!!!“

“Great service asked for something not on the menu and not only did they do it, IT was the best pizza eggplant rollatini pizza WOW just WOW so good. We will be back!!!“

“The submarine sandwiches are good, especially the Italian sub, but.....the breakfast sandwiches are wonderful.. Fresh egg and cheese with about 6 slices of pork roll on a fresh Kaiser roll. Takes me back to my earlier days in Jersey. Nice job. Tip the cook well.“

“Five years ago when I posted my initial review, the egg rolls were excellent. I drove down tonight to get some, and they are entirely different. They're smaller and taste terrible. I don't know what happened to the egg rolls, but it's very disappointing, and the last time I go there for them. The service is good though.“

“This place is great the staff are friendly and the food is good and constant in flavor. They also have tables to sit in as well . My top favorite dish here is the Fettuccine Alfredo with grilled chicken and broccoli. Just add a dash of Parmesan cheese and black pepper and it's even more “

“Best Thai food I’ve ever had. Steve and Nancy created the best atmosphere and the food is absolutely delicious. Drunken Noodles is my personal favorite but every dish there is AMAZING. A definite must in my book.“

“Found this restaurant on line and it definitely lives up to the reviews I read. The food was delicious, the owner spoke with us and we asked for any recommendations of food choice and she advised us well. From our main course to dessert the food was delicious, all homemade.

“I can't say enough good things about the service. On vacation, ordered food and my phone died. Couldn't find the delivery driver who waited on me forever. Finally, got to call and they brought the food right back. The lady on the phone was so sweet. The food was yummy. My kids were happy. Couldn't ask for more.“

“as a new yorker, this is the best latin food in the poconos. set up like a deli where you can pick from different meats in the metal trays. every time we come up to the mountains it’s a must have spot. there is a good amount of seating although we usually get it for takeout. not far from great wolf, camelback and premium outlets. definitely worth a visit if you’re missing authentic latin food while you’re in the poconos. hope they stay in business forever !! (picture is from 2019 but they still have the same great food)“

“Oh. My. Goodness. I have not had authentic Jamaican food since I was in Jamaica 2 years ago. This is the real deal. Yeah the ordering is a little unconventional, but so what? Just text, they'll answer any questions you have.The large Jerk Chicken could definitely feed 2 people, except one of the people I was feeding was a teenager who eats jerk seasoning on everything. So obviously this went over really well. We got a huge amount of chicken and peas & rice, a nice side of steamed cabbage (even this was sooooo delicious) with a few fried plantains on top. What a deal for $17!“

“My first time there and I had their pizza it is very good I would go there again prices are great“

“The Chamber held our annual holiday party in a private room. It was sound proof to the busy restaurant and has its own bar and bathroom which is perfect for a party! The food was delicious, the bartender KayAnn was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was great! Thank you Roshaun and staff for a fabulous evening!“

“One of our favorite places in the entire world to eat any time of the day. Breakfast is always delicious and filling. Lunch and dinner are fantastic. My niece is a huge fan of the quesadillas and pepper pot soup. Service is phenomenal and everyone always makes you feel like family. After you eat, go to the meat market next door for fresh meats (you have to try the double smoked bacon) and barrel pickles!!!“

“Best authentic Mexican food I've had since moving to PA. Food was AMAZING and my wife and I both ate until we were stuffed because it was too good to leave a bite behind. No bells. No whistles. Just incredible food. It's an hour from us and next time we want mexican food, we'll make the drive!!!“

“Clean, bright pizzeria. Large menu selection, specialty pizzas and much more than pizza. Friendly, smiling staff. Food is delicious, portions are large, and prices are reasonable. This was my first visit, and I'll be going back!Vegetarian options: Greek Salads are huge.Wheelchair accessibility: No steps to get in nor inside.“

“If your in the mood for authentic Mexican food this is your place. Being from California I've sen my share of Mexican restaurants lol and this place is just as good. The fish tacos were outstanding and so were the carnitas. They use white corn flautas not flour which is great for gluten free people. The street corn was amazing as well. If your in the mood for some good Mexican food head here. Also it's a great atmosphere to sit and eat. The staff was super friendly and very accommodating.Vegetarian options: Fish tacos rice beans street corn plenty of vegetarian options.Dietary restrictions: Soft tacos are gluten free“
