At Smalley’s Caribbean Barbeque in Stillwater, making food with the authentic taste of the Islands has always been their main goal.  Owner, Shawn Smalley worked side by side with local natives of Jamaica to figure out their recipes and make the food as authentic as possible.  Smalley’s brings a flavor of the Caribbean to Minnesota by offering an authentic Jamaican BBQ experience – rum and all.  Go with an open mind because if you are expecting traditional BBQ flavors, you won’t find it here!  “Jamacan jerk” really defines what it is.  The food tastes nothing like the normal BBQ – it is a truly unique experience.  The setting is similar to other BBQ restaurants where you get to choose various different meat preparations such as ribs, brisket, pork shoulder, or chicken along with a variety of sides. However, the differentiator is the jerk spice that is used.  And you can find one of the largest rum selections in town in their Pirate bar!  Check out their full menu here.   So get a taste of the islands for yourself!  Get a $50 gift certificate for only $25!  To get yours, click here.  And hurry because they go fast!
