Donate to San Jose Black Owned Restaurants
Restaurants owned by black people in San Jose need your support
San Jose's dialogue is changing, but our #sanjoselove remains the same. Our platform is shared with local community organizer Mary Celestin, a San Jose native, musician, engineering student, and now activist, who is offering ways to elevate Black voices and businesses.
Lets Get to Work, San Jose! Mary provides locals and visitors with ways to support the Black community. In her first recommendation, Mary recommends al fresco, takeout, or delivery San Jose restaurants that are owned by Blacks.
Back A Yard Caribbean Grill
Various San Jose Locations
At Back-A-Yard, you can experience a taste of the Caribbean with the best jerk chicken platter around. Don't forget to order Jamaican patties, salad yard bowls, and dessert. Sweet potato pie and key lime pie are both favorites. To go, you can even buy their famous sauces!
It's fun to go here with my dad, says Mary. Due to our Haitian-American heritage, we always sit at the table with the Haitian flag.
