A Family Heritage and Tradition.
In Memory of James Nicholas
Since 1983, we have been bringing you the best in Caribbean and a blend of Canadian Classics.
Let's go back to the early 80's when James Nicholas Founded KW's first and only Jamaican/caribbean club, the Highlight. Inside they had a commercial kitchen where James would spin up amazing traditional dishes. Talk about a hidden gem!
When the 80's came to an end, James opened a seated restaurant called the Caribbean Cove. In 1993 James moved his operations and changed the name to Island Pride. Queue 1995 when James opened the famous Rainbow Caribbean Cuisine, a staple of Downtown Kitchener.
The restaurant was sold in 2015 but Lucinda, James's wife wasn't ready to hang up her chef's hat. Deciding to continue the family tradition, Lucinda founded Big Jerk Smokehouse to share the wonderful dishes to the Tri-City community once again.
We hope you love our food and can't wait to serve you!
