Come on down to Anntony's Caribbean Cafe, where cabin-feverish locals bask amid the sound of steel drums and spicy flavors of the islands, minus the sunburn and sand in their shoes. Don't be fooled by the rather lackluster strip mall location: Anntony's brings the authentic taste of Caribbean cuisine to both the Cheshire Commons and Elizabeth neighborhoods, all with a worry-free smile and a tall glass of ice-cold Swank. (That's Caribbean lemonade.) Owner and British Guyana native Tony Martin adds more than just his family's secret recipes to the menu: His doctorate in nutrition ensures you're getting the good stuff with your jerk. Chicken, pork or ribs supplemented with Calypso Rice and callaloo greens (cooked with garlic, tomatoes and spices) make a plentiful meal, while the expanded Cheshire Commons menu (including conch fritters and goat and fish specialties) would give Jimmy Buffett something to sing about. Red red wine, white wine and beer available. Serving lunch and dinner Mon–Sat. Closed Sun. Voted Best Caribbean Restaurant in the 2008 Charlotte magazine readers poll.
