About Buckles And Jerdine Caribbean Kitchen
Caribbean Restaurant in Manchester
Buckles and Jerdine Caribbean Kitchen in Manchester is a cozy spot, tucked away but easy enough to find. The atmosphere is really relaxed and friendly; it felt more like stepping into someone's welcoming home than a formal restaurant. Looking through the photos online, I noticed bright, cheerful colors and lots of natural light—perfect for a sunny afternoon.
Their menu is packed with classic Caribbean dishes, and it’s clear a lot of love goes into the food. I saw jerk chicken and goat curry featured prominently in the pictures, both looking incredibly flavorful and tender. They also have plenty of vegetarian options, which is great to see, and from what I could tell, the portions are generous. I'd definitely recommend trying their plantains—one photo showed a perfectly caramelized side dish that looked divine.
What sets Buckles and Jerdine apart is that genuine warmth and hospitality. It’s the kind of place ideal for a casual meal with friends or a family get-together. It's a great option if you're looking for authentic Caribbean food cooked with care, and not just another generic Caribbean restaurant. You’ll leave feeling full, happy, and perhaps with a new favorite dish.

If I could give Buckles and Jerdine Caribbean Restaurant more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. The food here is a straight 20/10—every single bite was pure bliss. From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in for something special, and I was not disappointed. The jerk chicken was perfectly seasoned and grilled to perfection, with just the right balance of spice and smoky flavor. The oxtail sauce was out of this world—rich, tender, and full of flavor, it had me savoring every last bite. The rice and peas were fluffy and fragrant, the plantain was golden and sweet, and don’t even get me started on the free vegetables! A delightful surprise that added to the overall experience. The staff were absolutely wonderful—so friendly, welcoming, and attentive. It's clear they take pride in what they do, and it shows in both the service and the food. The whole experience felt like a warm hug from start to finish. I honestly wish I lived in Manchester, because Buckles and Jerdine would be my go-to spot without a doubt. If you're ever in the area, do yourself a favor and make sure you don't miss this gem of a restaurant. You won’t regret it!
Nice and clean, nice environment. Someone with mental health came in and they we’re patience and catered for her needs. Attitude of the staff was positive q nice little sitting area for 4 and bar area to eat on high stools. For football lovers the match was on.
I popped in for a quick bite. Friendly welcome on walking in the shop. Bought two beef patties which were delicious. I'll definitely be going back - menu looked really good.
