Caribbean Stone is a great "hole in the wall" place to eat.  And I mean that with LOVE.  I love Miss Marva and the woman can COOK!

This SAMBA, this group of kind-hearted and forward-thinking business owners, Made it Happen for one of their own -- They truly understand that Miss Marva's success is their success as well.

It's revolutionary.  And it's a beautiful thing.

Where else does this sort of thing happen, except in Springfield?
