Red Fork Cafe May Be Worth The Drive To Brandon

Esther Etienne has brought to Brandon what she said it sorely needed, a restaurant serving authentic Caribbean cuisine. At the Red Fork Café, at the corner of Lumsden Road and Kings Avenue, Etienne serves up fresh dishes focused on rich flavor, including signature dishes of jerk chicken, “succulent oxtails” and snapper.

At her Brandon restaurant, “we’re all Caribbean, we’re Cuba, Montinique and Haiti,” she said. “We bring that flavor home.”

While the café is newly opened, she added, the people who dine at the Red Fork Café are spreading the word. “We have people telling us all the time, ‘My neighbor sent me here,’ ” Etienne said.
