The Carib Shack is a popular local eatery located near Shore Drive off Great Neck Rd and is frequented by locals and tourists for its variety of Caribbean cuisine. It is all takeout and there are only two seats for waiting customers to sit and wait. The rest of the establishment is made up of the kitchen. It is often best to order 15-20 minutes ahead of time and when an order is ready for pick up, the restaurant will send a text. Although Falcon food reviewers Max Palmerton, Blake Heselius, Hayden German, and Christian Braithwaite usually prefer sit-down restaurants, they decided to check it out and share some information for those who have yet to try it out.
According to the Caribe Shack website, the restaurant offers the finest Caribbean cuisine with a “shack style” twist” and has been featured on famous chef Guy Fieri’s Food Network show, Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives.
The owner is from the Virgin Islands and is highly skilled at creating authentic Caribbean-style dishes. Some more popular items include jerk shrimp and chicken bowls, fried chicken sandwiches, the Cuban, shack tacos, and many more. Any dish that includes chicken, shrimp, or beef is usually topped with a burst of Caribbean/Jerk-style flavor. This is what separates their food from other restaurants as it is a flavor that be recreated anywhere else…
