Reviewers highlight generous portions, warm service, and a vibrant atmosphere that makes it a go-to spot for Caribbean food.

"It all starts with the people. We have always had excellent service at Dub Plate. The people are kind and make great suggestions if you are unsure. Their vegan options are delicious, and the meat options, too. Their meat options are so good, in fact, that some of us non-meat eaters love them!"
The Good Rub
"Please please PLEASE support this business!! This is the best place to eat in Sacramento hands down man. The oxtail, the jerk chicken, the fried chicken, the beef patties the chicken patties (ask them for a side of oxtail gravy to dip them in), the mac and cheese it’s all hot fire man. I’m serious we gotta support local family owned businesses like this before these corporations run em over. You will not be disappointed with the food here I promise you I drive 40 minutes each way from Folsom just to feel sumn 😭
Have em cater your event or go in for lunch or dinner whatever just do it and thank me later."

"If you’re craving real Jamaican food in Sacramento, Dubplate Kitchen in Arden Arcade is where the magic happens. This spot isn’t just good—it’s straight fire. From the moment you walk in, the aroma hits you like a wave of island flavor. You know you’re in for something serious.
Let’s get right into the heavy hitters:
The Jerk Chicken—hands-down, one of the best in the city. The spice level is dialed in perfectly—just enough heat to wake up your senses, but not so much it overpowers the deep, smoky, well-marinated flavor. Every bite is juicy, tender, and packed with that signature jerk punch. You can tell this isn’t some watered-down version—this is authentic Jamaican soul food.
Now, if you’re into rich, comforting curries, do not sleep on the Goat Curry. It’s bold, meaty, and beautifully seasoned—slow-cooked to that fall-off-the-bone texture with spices that cling to every bite. The kind of dish that makes you close your eyes while eating and just vibe with the flavor.
The portions? Generous. The staff? Warm and welcoming. The vibe? Chill but full of character, just like the food. Whether you're a longtime Jamaican food lover or trying it for the first time, Dubplate Kitchen delivers a culinary experience you won’t forget.
This isn’t just dinner. It’s a destination."

It's a small restaurant tucked away on El Camino Avenue near Watt. When it opened late last year, I noticed that there were a couple of vegan options on the menu, and I've been meaning to try it ever since. Finally, I had lunch there today with my friend Greta.
