Caribbean is our heart and soul — but from smoky jerk chicken and oxtail to plated steak, fresh seafood, grazing boards, and brunch, we cater every cuisine and occasion across the Palm Springs desert.
Authentic recipes, real jerk smoke, and scotch-bonnet heat — the way the islands intended.
Weddings, backyard parties, corporate lunches — we handle setup, service, and cleanup.
Island signatures are our specialty — but we cater any cuisine, with vegan & gluten-free options too.
The island classics we're known for — the soul of everything we cook. (There's plenty beyond the islands too.)
Marinated overnight in scotch bonnet, pimento & thyme, then grilled low and slow over hardwood.
Fall-off-the-bone oxtail in a deep, savory gravy, served over coconut rice & peas with steamed cabbage.
The island classic — sautéed ackee with flaked saltfish, peppers & onions, over fluffy white rice.
Caribbean Food Shack was born from a simple belief: great food brings people together. We took the recipes passed down through generations — the marinades, the slow stews, the pots cooked over open fire — and brought them to Palm Springs to share with our community.
Whether it's an intimate backyard gathering or a 300-guest celebration, our team designs a menu around your event, sets up a beautiful buffet, grazing board, or live station, and keeps the good vibes (and good food) flowing.
Jerk and oxtail are our signature — but our kitchen does it all. Build a fully Caribbean feast, a mix of favorites, or a completely custom menu in any cuisine. Whatever your guests love, we've got it covered.
