This was a great find!! Servers were super friendly and the food was delicious . Had the pork nachos and the curry pork wrap. The pork was seasoned perfect with just the right amount of smokiness to it. The curry had a nice flavor and slight heat!! Also tried sweet potato fries that were perfectly crisped. Would highly recommend One Love Rum Kitchen. The bonus- they were open during Easter weekend read more

I dont know why a Jamaican inspired bar was in the middle of the mountains but I stopped for pinnaple juice just because was craving it so bad and it had amazingg service and the drink was yummy. read more

Service here was slow; I waited until my meal was over for a water refill. The wrap I ordered was just ok - packed full of carbs, mostly, vs. meat & veggies / fruit, like I'd hoped, as advertised. Surprised this is rated so high, other than the fact that there aren't many alternative lunch / dining options in Grand Lake, if you want something other than pizza. It also doesn't feel the cleanest, especially the restrooms. Not impressed. read more

Service was amazing! Super nice folks that took great care of us (thank you!) The food was delicious. I'm still thinking about the fish sandwich! The fish was so crispy, and the slaw/pineapple combo was a shockingly incredible complement to it. My friend had the chicken and said it was the best she has ever had (and she's quite the foodie). There were 6 of us in total and everyone loved their meal (and drinks!). We had a great time and will be back! read more

Overall experience was B-A-D. Some food was good, most was average, and some was B-A-D. Expensive mistakes on food and the service was so-so to poor : Ramen came without the pork belly in it, and the side of Pulpo came out when we were 99% finished eating all the rest of the food Ratings take into account the overall food quality, flavors, portions and price, with taking into account this is a tourist town. Food specifics: Curry Pork sandwich : great flavor, proper size for the price * 4 Stars Pulpo : we got a side of Octopus since they forgot to get us it. It was $12, and we'd get it again, it was cooked perfectly and had a nice flavor. They dont do anything to it but grill it BUT its done properly and has the proper tenderness and flavor. If you like Pulpo, this is good * 4 stars Ramen : decent but none of us (who all love good ramen broth) said we'd get it again *2 stars Key Lime Pie : pretty average, my wife loves KLP and said she'd not order it next time *2 stars Coconut Rum Chicken : decent portion, cooked properly, but lacked flavor. I expected to be wow'd by the "best dish they make" (according to the head chef). It was expensive for what you got, even when not considering it lacked flavor. *3 stars Don't get.... La Plancha : should be called, "La Rip Off" (look at the photo). My son wanted the lobster... this plate was $45! They way overcooked the small cheap Lobser tail ($5 from any grocery store in CO, I know I live here), 5 cents worth(3-4oz) of cooked white rice, and 10 cents worth (hand full) of mixed greens * minus 2 Stars read more

We dropped by for a drink and stayed for a while because we were having such a wonderful time. The ambiance here is friendly and pleasant. It was clear that One Love is a favorite spot for locals. Everyone we met was friendly and welcoming. Something to note: all their mixed drinks are double shots. Go big or go home! read more

Good food in Grand Lake. Food was flavorful and came out quickly. Seasoned well, unique flavors for being in the mountains. Drinks were big and strong, though they did take a while to come out. read more

Unique and very tasty dishes in this little town. We had the Cuban sandwich, the birria tacos, and the coconut rum chicken. The service was pretty good during a busy time and the tropical inspired music was a nice touch. We hope to make it back again soon! read more

We had a great experience here! The staff was welcoming and the food couldn't have been better. The curry pork carnitas nachos were spectacular. The blackened mahi mahi tacos were delicious. We got there at happy hour so that was a bonus! read more

The one star reviews were unfortunately true. Minus the nice hostess, this place had terrible service! We came here with high hopes to try the food, but didn't even get a chance to order any drinks or food. Once seated, we noticed the wait staff completely avoided providing service to multiple tables. Unfortunately, for us and other parties, it was over 10 minutes before a waiter walked past our tables. When a waiter finally came outside, he only engaged a table of two that had just been seated and completely avoided the other tables that were waiting much longer. At that point, we, and other parties, called it and left. Worst part was the place wasn't all that busy. Zero stars. read more

We were at the grand Lake with family and friends and visited this place. Enjoy the nice hot and warm nachos. Love their beer. The service was great. Everybody was helpful. The ambience is always amazing because it's right next to the lake and it's just a small town in Colorado breeze, tourist and walking around. It's pretty there. read more

Expensive for lunch but I'm guessing everything in Grand Lake is. Service was a bit slow considering they were nearly empty. Looked very nice inside but I sat outside under a covered patio which was very nice and was able to watch all the passersby. The bureau is just okay. I ordered a craft draft and it was nothing special. I will say the rice and beans and plantain that came with the fish tacos were delicious, but the tacos were nothing special and mostly tasted like blackened spice. Worst part was that each taco came wrapped in a flimsy, uncrisped corn tortilla when there should have been two because it completely fell apart when trying to eat it and was a complete mess so that's why they get this rating. read more

One Love Rum Kitchen - Blackened Mahi Mahi tacos. - Caribbean Near Me - Grand Lake, Colorado

Amazing food, great service! Lots of fun and unique flavors. Fun atmosphere. Beach bar in the mountains.

Super fun mountain spot. We love Pepe Osakas and are so happy to have access in Grand Lake now. We had a blast at Monday trivia (though I wish it was pen and paper not phone based because the WiFi signal wasn't great). Food was good- great guac and spicy tuna tacos. Would love it they added one blander item to the menu for picky toddlers . Happy to have this spot in the area read more

The food is amazing and we could not have asked for better service. Can't wait to go back! We had the jerk chicken and ceviche and loved both! read more

My friends and I came across One love by asking a shop employee where she would choose to go eat (as a local). It's in a touristy area but it is FAR from a 'high price for low quality' category. Everything we ordered (spicy tuna nachos, coconut chicken, coconut mojito, dessert plantains) was SO DELICIOUS. The tuna was delivered morning of. The sweet Caribbean music reminds me of south Florida and is a fun and lovely refresher while in a cold mountain town. Thanks to the owner- we'll be back!! read more

Great food, excellent vegan options and friendly service. We'll return when we're back at Grand Lake.

The fried mahi mahi fish tacos were so good! Plus the rice and beans and fried plantain chefs kiss. must try in grand lake!

When you are in town for a few days, although you want to try new places, you sometimes still tend to find a "home base." This place was ours. After driving for five hours around a snowstorm, we needed food and drink. This place was perfect. Baxter (also apparently has an alternative identity as Felix) and Jewel were our bartenders, and they made our arrival fantastic start to finish. I had the Island Burger (including the pineapple that comes on it and is recommended) and it was delicious. Burger was solid, but the toppings and sauce made the taste awesome. The wife had the ramen with chicken and loved it. My favorite words together are "house made hot sauce," and Baxter had two of them for me. One was something green and magical, and the other was a maple Sriracha. Their aioli for my fries was also stellar. Service was efficient, personable, and energetic. The IPA they have in house is Hazer Tag. Given we judge our painkillers from The Soggy Dollar in the islands, I would rate theirs as top notch. They also have stickers in the islands that if you do an IG post with it, you get some free stuff next time in. Also, Baxter just bought 500 pens that say "Stolen from One Rum Kitchen" that he was very excited about as a marketing plan and needs help in distributing/marketing globally for everyone's next trip to Grand Lake. So, ask for a pen and make sure you give it to someone in an airport or something to help their cause. Background music made you believe there was a beach outside. If you don't like the prices, make sure to check out their happy hour (3-5 EVERY day), where much stuff is half price. Great value. Kelly and Kayle were also great behind the bar on our return trips. If in the mood for a shot, they have an awesome rum from Barbados behind the bar. We hit up the happy hour our other two days without even hesitating. I definitely recommend this place, and see you there...the next time we are up that way, or when I find those stickers in St. John in August and have to return for free stuff. read more

So nice to see some different cuisines in the small town of Grand Lake. This place definitely has a vibe, if you like it you love it but I can see it as a turn off for some people. The mixed drinks are good, a little sweet for my taste but for anyone that loves a tropical drink then it's perfect. I got the curry octopus wrap with curry slaw. ALL THE CURRY. Again, if you love it you love it. This isn't for the unadventurous eater and the curry got spicier with every bite. Overall, a great experience and we'll be back! read more

Terrible service. OK food. Manager tried to make it up for it. I totally understand, it was Friday evening during peak summer -- there was only three of us, a small order, and we were prepared to wait. However, we watched as customers, who sat well after us, got their food while our waiter confusingly bounced between way too many tables. More than half an hour went by with zero attention from our server, and no food. Drinks sat in front of us empty as he went back and forth, like we didn't exist. I thought briefly of just leaving. It was getting dark and cold. My kid slowly descended into a bad mood. All she wanted were French fries! The worst part was the reaction from the wait staff. First, the server seemed a little drunk. At several points he sat down and yukked it up with folks, even with every table full of people. When we couldn't get his attention, my wife eventually asked the greeter what was going on with our food, and the greeter told us we should have said something sooner. Thanks for the advice! Then the server came out and kind of argued with us when we mentioned that other tables were eating before us. He pointed at one table, and said "They only ordered appetizers." He was gaslighting us: there was a different table that sat after us plowing through a whole meal while we watched. The manager eventually came out and comped the Cubano sandwich, and claimed something was wrong with the ticket printing system. He asked that we give them another chance. Look man, I appreciate the gesture, but it's highly unlikely. The food was ok. The Cubano sandwich was excellent. The curry nachos were fine, a lot of naked chips. The solo order of fries were OK. But the fries that came with the Cubano were cold and tasted like they were a day old. My eight year old daughter also has something she wants to say: "I was so hungry we left the table and looked for a snack for me from other stores. I was crying because I was so so hangry. The fries were OK, there were some burnt bits. I'd like to also say that I've never waited that long for fries in my whole life. There's just one more thing: I wish I could give that place a zero star." read more

One Love Rum Kitchen - Curry pork sandwich and spicy ahi tuna poke bowl. - Caribbean Near Me - Grand Lake, Colorado

Wow!!! This fabulous venue was recommended on a site directed at those hiking the Continental Dive Trail. Words cannot express what an amazing menu and dining experience awaited us. We came in near closing, not a problem, the offerings were inventive, tantalizing, unique and enchanting with their originality. After a long fun filled day, genuine embracive hospitality is a rare and cherished find in and of itself. Tiffany, our server, made us feel more like family than guests. Riley, the manager, took a personal interest in making sure everything was spot on perfect. We marinated in a delightful assortment of one-of-a-kind dishes each enhanced by their distinctive "love sauce", curry influence and surprisingly palate pleasing spices. I am a restaurateur, who has dined on six continents and am not easy to impress. Treat yourself to something special and a dining experience like no other to be found in the Rockies, nor anywhere else. read more

The food here is outstanding!! We had Chips & Mango Salsa as an appetizer. For entrees-I had Octopus Ceviche and Brian had Pepe's Fish Tacos. They had a long and creative drink menu and a nice Happy Hour Special. Music was fun and upbeat. Plenty of seating. Service was great!! They allowed our pup, Fenway, to come in and sit since it was -12 degrees outside. Parking on the street. Bathrooms are shared with other vendors in the building and they are freezing-so be prepared for the cold. We will be back here for sure!! read more

This is a step up from their old location for sure! We tried a ton of things before they stopped allowing indoor dining! LOVED the ceviche! It had great flavor! And I love octopus in mine and that was a real plus. The Ramen bowl-- really recommend this! The flavor was so unique with the curry. We all loved that too! I love that they have good plantains too. They have lots of different side options! I got the mahi mahi sandwich (not the tilapia). and it had really good flavor and not too salty either! The jerk chicken looked good and my friend said it was tasty! They have some nice beer selections too! We will be coming back! read more

Food and service are good. But the music is so noisy. It is a little bit expensive:

Stopped by after our excursion to Rocky Mountain National Park. Definitely had good eats. But fair warning the food has plenty of heat. (Spiciness) may not be a great place if you have small children who can't eat spicy. Caribbean ceviche with octopus: 4 stars. Light tangy coconut flavors with chunks of coconut, octopus, pineapple and tomatoes. Wish they would chop the octopus piece up a bit more to make it easier to pick up on the chip. Maybe it's just me. Lobster taco: 4.5 stars. Delicious flavors. Spicy, creamy tangy. Lobster with a slaw in a soft taco shell. Treated great! Served with side of rice and beans. Didn't touch rice and beans so I can't comment but the tacos were devoured. Caribbean burger: 4 stars. beef patty with cheese, slaw, and slice of pineapple. I really enjoyed it. Ordered it hoping it wouldn't be spicy because I shared with my daughter. But there is some heat. Luckily she sucked it up and finished her half of the burger. Pretty good. Took out some slices of jalapeño though. Blackened Mahi-mahi Sandwich: 4 stars. very much like the burger except with blackened Mahi-mahi. My older daughter ate every bite. read more

Get ready to wait 45+ min for your food. People before us got served their appetizers, main meal, and checked out, while we were still waiting for our burger and poke bowl. The wait staff threw a bad attitude at us when turned out the food and asked to pay, while coincidentally they brought out our "gourmet" burger and poke bowl. 0% recommend this place. Terrible customer service and attitude. Just because you are one of the few places in a mountain town, it doesn't mean you'll get to treat customers however you want. #noonelove read more

I love Pepe's in Winter Park!! So when I heard about a new place in Grand Lake I had to visit. We both tried the Curry Carnitas Roti wrap since our friends were raving about them on our boat this summer. They are spicy, packed with flavor, and filling. I would order this again but can't wait to try more items on the menu. My husband got a healthy portion of plantains and I ordered the curry fries. We got take out and celebrated our Anniversary on the lawn at Grand Lake with a bottle of Champagne. It was a fun dining experience. The staff gave us two Kamikazi shots to celebrate our big day and they were a pretty pink color and tasted so delicous. The staff was really friendly. Although I enjoyed the Roti wrap it is large and perfect to share so next time we want to try new items on the menu like the Jerk Chicken. I love the Pepe's tacos so we have to try them too with the chips and guacamole. We don't get over to Grand Lake much but when we do we know where we will be dining. It is bringing the taste of the Caribbean to Grand Lake. read more

One love is not just a catchy phrase here. You can taste the Love and good energy in every bite. My hubs and I had pulpo tacos (Caribbean style) and let me tell ya they were delicious. Good ratio of ingredients and the octopus aka pulpo which can be tricky to prepare was incredibly tender. Staff is warm, good humored and friendly. One Love Rum Kitchen is a high energy place but without overwhelming you. The owner came by to chat and we just clicked. Great conversation, strong work ethic, creativity in food prep, fusing cultures in a good way. Gave his staff the opportunity to show their artistic flair on painting chairs, walls, and bathrooms -- check out my bathroom angel pic lol. We will be going back!! The food, the fun atmosphere and of course the amazing food. read more
