    Love this place it's my go too spot never disappointed. The food is good although I never dine in I always order take out.

    Mom and pop restaurant small and homey. I was serviced timely and fast. The food is fire I always order from them the only critique I have is the potatoes not being crunchy but it overall gives soul food made by black people. I had tilapia cheesy grits eggs sausage potatoes and sliced bread. I ordered Togo

    I was visiting family in the north Miami area and they brought me to Derry's for a late breakfast/early lunch. I had fried snapper abs cheese grits, with potatoes and the food was amazing. I went to a few spots and ordered the same ordered the same dish, which were good, but Derry's dish always tasted better. I will definitely go there again when I'm down in north Miami.

    Good breakfast. Great service. Wings always fresh and delicious. Perfect crisp on the top of the corn beef hash.

    Derry's Restaurant is a hidden gem. The food was so delicious and seasoned! Our waiter, Paula was the most sweetest person. She really took care of us and was so caring when serving us. It's honestly little things like that, that will make me a returning customer.

    Oh man, where do I start man shots out to Dre's restaurant listen the best breakfast. I think all the South Florida service is amazing. The people are great. It's a vibe that unmatched listen this place is what it's all about this place is what it's all about the people in there are so inviting. They take their time to explain what's on the menu. They even give you their thoughts and what they think about the food at I done been their two times and I ain't stopping.

    *should be a no star but not an option.* UNACCEPTABLE DERRY'S RESTAURANT OWNER!!! I just left your establishment at 1135 am. on 5/26/24. We walked in, and a young lady politely asked a waitress if they were still seating anyone, and she immediately said, "No." She tells us that we can't be seated and the wait time is about 30-40 minutes for take out...really? There was an open table and one table that was leaving. You had about 3-4 ppl at the counter and maybe 3-4 tables seated. Either you are a "sit down" restaurant, or you are a "take out" only restaurant. I get small business, and I was trying to patronize a "staple" Black owned business as a person of color myself, but this type of service is embarrassing and not professional. You clearly have a sign that says "Open," and your business hours are advertised closing at 2pm. It appears other patrons that entered after me were turned away as well. What a shame. Do better!

    This is the perfect breakfast spot with great options. Portion size is perfect. Fish fried to perfection. The eggs and grits were also really good!!! The pancake was HUGE! One was enough for me but if you like a stack, just keep in mind the size of these cakes are really big! They also have a small hint of cinnamon which tasted really good. Highly recommend. They close at 2 so make sure you get there early.

    Food was okay, definitely average. Service was poor. This is a family owned business and I love that they knew most of the customers by name. My cashier was literally sitting at the bar texting while my food was sitting on the counter waiting to be bagged. I ordered for a Mother's Day brunch and we had so much food left over because it wasn't good. Potatoes weren't seasoned, waffles were soggy not not fully cooked, pancakes were decent, sausage looked disgusting that not one of staff wanted to try! They looked dry and over cooked and we ended up throwing out and wasting $169. Bacon was okay and definitely not crispy and lots of grease in the pan! We asked for plates and was told there are none, but we were charged for individual meals and gratuity. I also tried the grits, eggs, tilapia. The tilapia was fried too hard. Grits needed salt. Place was clean and pretty busy at times!

    I am originally from Buffalo New York and once upon a time there was a famous soul food restaurant called GG's which had the best soul food breakfast.  Derry's Fish & Grits took me back to that moment in my youth. Derry's is not much to look at.  It is a little shabby hole in the wall.  The service is slow, but the servers are phenomenal.  And the food is OMG delicious. Sat in a small booth on a Sunday, listening to gospel piping from a corner of the diner. Sipping coffee which was not the best, but it was fresh and taking in the ambiance of the Sunday morning soul food breakfast that I fondly remember. If you are coming to Derry's, you are coming for the warming atmosphere and the great food.  They serve you with paper cups for hot drinks and Styrofoam for cold drinks.  Plastic plates, forks, knives and spoons.  Not pretentious at all, just good old home style soul food. My breakfast here was memorable and can't wait to come back.

    *I can only state what I saw and experienced. Extreme chaos. Arrived at 8:55 am. Parking is extremely tight. Inside is even tighter. The staff and cooks seemed to be overwhelmed and no organization until finally I believe the owner or manager came in. But even after her coming in there were some confusion with orders. We ordered about 15 minutes after being seated. PACK YOUR PATIENCE! It took about 45 minutes to get our order. Customers were leaving because they couldn't wait any longer. Take out was scary crazy. They stopped taking orders on the phone because they were backed up. But if your looking for a small town diner feel, this is definitely the place to go. All the traditional meals. ***** Menu have no prices on them. ****** Food: Hands down seasoned to perfection. The French toast were so delicious! The corn beef hash were seasoned so well. Shrimp & Grits - unfortunately will not order again. It was okay but I know my shrimp and grits and unfortunately this was not for me. Staff were sweet. Price, well a bit high for what you get but everything is high prices these days. Will I go back again, maybe for lunch.

    The food is a 10/10. It's a hole in the wall place, but it's clean and the staff is nice.

    Super disappointed with this place…read more Pros: The potatoes and eggs were good & the hot sauce has great flavor! Cons: First thing I did was use the restroom which had a horrible smell and the toilet needed cleaning. The service was good at first then fell off after we ordered our food- which was strange because it was not busy at all. We ordered the screwdriver & peach Bellini to drink. Steak & eggs and the Untoasted breakfast + side of ham. The screwdriver had an odd taste & the ham was extremely soft/squishy/seemed uncooked internally. The steak was not cooked well- but acceptable enough to eat. Our server never checked on us after we got our food which sucks because we needed a few things. A different server ended up walking by much later and asked if we needed help which is when I told her I'd like to send back the ham and screwdriver- both of which I barely took a bite/sip out of. I just told her I didn't like them and she got a bit of an attitude and wanted specifics as to why I didn't like it. I just reiterated i didn't like it and won't be consuming either so please take it back. We finished our food and no one ever came to our table again- while the workers were walking around helping the 5 other tables or talking amongst themselves. After sitting for 15+ minutes with our finished food, I just went to the front and waited for someone to check us out. I don't recommend this place and will not be back.

Everything we had was genuinely good and we'd definitely come back. First things first: the pancakes are HUGE. Seriously, if you're ordering one as a side, know that one pancake is easily enough for two people to share. We also tried the Secret Lemonade -- and for anyone wondering, "secret" basically means it's made in-house. It was fresh and tasty, but definitely on the sweeter side, so just be prepared if you don't typically like very sweet drinks. I ordered the chicken biscuit sandwich and really loved the flavor. The chicken was well seasoned, the biscuit was great, and overall it was delicious. My only small critique is that the portion feels a little small on its own, so I think it would be nice if it came with a side or something accompanying it. My husband is plant-based, and we appreciated that there was an option for him. He ordered the avocado toast along with a modified salad from the menu, which worked out well. Overall, solid spot with flavorful food.

Fluffy and sweet and not dry. Although I enjoyed my fried chicken biscuit enough to eat it all, it fell a tad short of my expectations. The biscuit and chicken were both lacking volume, the biscuit not fluffy enough and chicken not meaty enough. I couldn't pick it up without it all just crumbling apart. Menu claimed homemade biscuits, but maybe not made fresh that day? Chicken was wide but thin so every bite was just way too much breading and very salty. I would order something else next time. It's a teeny but charming restaurant that was packed when we got there. Luckily we were first on the list so got a table in 5 minutes. If there had been more people and a longer wait, downside is there's no room more than 2 people to stand and wait inside, and it was way too hot to have waited outside. Parking lot has plenty of space around back. All in all, it was a fun and cute spot to take my old folks for a family meal.

My go-to meals are the fried chicken or the reggae jerk chicken with rice and beans and steamed vegetables. Everything is well seasoned, flavorful, and cooked just right. The fried chicken is especially tasty, and I love the sauce that comes with it. The steamed vegetables, which include cabbage and carrots, are always fresh and make the perfect side. One thing I really appreciate is the value. The portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable, which can be hard to find these days. You definitely get your money's worth. I also have to mention the mac and cheese. As someone who loves mac and cheese, I'm pretty picky about it. Not every restaurant gets it right, but Dunn's River does. It's creamy, cheesy, flavorful, and comforting. I've only ordered through Uber Eats and have never dined in, so I can't speak on the atmosphere or in-person service. I will say that the food does take a little longer than some places, but the wait is absolutely worth it. Every order I've received has been fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. Overall, Dunn's River Island Cafe has become one of my favorite Caribbean restaurants to order from. If you're looking for delicious food, generous portions, and great value, I highly recommend giving them a try.
