Smoked chicken dinner, it was good barbecue beans were fair and potato salad which was good too, Little expensive but I would go back I did take out so service wasn't an issue read more

I have eaten there several times with my lunch group and we have always been pleased, and believe me, it's not easy pleasing 18 ladies. Service was really good, food came out in a timely manner and the meals were delicious. Will remember. read more

Always have gotten good food here. Great staff . Friendly and really good drinks. Try to visit at least once every two weeks

Food is often good, although it's hit or miss. We order here on DoorDash, probably two or three times a month. I will say this much, this is the only dinner I've gone to sleep hungry after having. I feel like they count the fries and tater tots. I had a mustard and bread sandwich (Cuban with 1/4" of meat...) with 14 tater tots. If they weren't so stingy this place might be good. read more

We were looking for a place to grab an early lunch and stumbled on Rob's. Our group of 5 ordered all of the Starters except for the fried pickles and fried green tomatoes. Food was great! Homemade and fresh. They got the food out quickly and what a treat! Server was extremely attentive and super nice. From the strip mall exterior, you wouldn't expect the food quality, but this is a MUST TRY in BSL. Owner is super sweet too. We will be back! read more

The service was wonderful and lunch was delicious. The staff was very friendly and helpful for us.

Service and drinks were amazing! The chicken sandwich I had was very good but the fries weren't done. My husband liked his burger but his jambalaya wasn't great. I'm definitely coming back to try this place again, some things are worth it. read more

We had excellent service from Jake for our party of five and the food was fresh, hot, and tasty!

Stopped here while visiting from Texas for the weekend. The bartender Dylan is phenomenal, definitely makes a bad ass pecan and cherry wood smoked old fashioned. Make sure to ask for one when you go! Our waitress Lorya was so sweet and knowledgeable about all the menu items and other things to do in town. I would go back to just chit chat with Lorya and Dylan. She's a local military wife and mom and such a joy to be around! Every restaurant needs a Lorya and Dylan. read more

Rob’s Rum Kitchen - a shot of a glass of rum - Caribbean Near Me - Waveland, Mississippi

If I could give this establishment zero stars I would. I work 12 hour days and have time for one meal, my crew and I ordered this for lunch. The presentation I got was disrespectful and far less than up to par. The portion size was ridiculous for a$20 plate. My tuna steak was more like a few slices of tuna, my jambalaya was old, and nothing was hot my food was cold like they just took it out of the fridge. Just pure disrespect and disregard for service. read more

What an awesome surprise to happen upon this place. When you here on a short getaway and a rainy day stops your boat day you bring the party to this little fun restaurant. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Fresh made margaritas and great draft beer choices set the stage for delicious eating. Nothing about this trip was bad and fully recommend this place!!!! read more

Just driving through the state, restaurant was recommended. Interior nice and clean but cold. Staff very nice, quick service. For the price of the food (and recommendation) I expected a better quality meal. The food wasn't very warm, fries weren't done enough and the bread was very doughy. read more

I got the burger there and it was very good. They had someone playing an acoustic guitar and singing while we were eating. It's hard to notice this place because it's in a strip mall environment.

Don't let the strip mall location fool you. They are wise to grab a spot in this part of town considering the risks of building and opening right on the coast! They were open on Christmas Eve where I enjoyed a lunch with my mom. I had tacos and my mom had the special, tuna - seared and sushi grade. I got the two taco (one veggie and one oyster) w two side combo. I cleaned my plate, everything was so good. The jerk spice on the veggies was delicious and I subbed out guac for remolaude sauce on my oyster taco and it was great. My mom said her tuna was great and a very ample portion. She was really glad they didn't add a lot of rice to dishes - makes you think you are getting more than you are. Instead, they fill up your plate with good quality vegetables and delicious food. Really enjoyed this food so don't let the location fool you! read more

I've wanted to try this place for a while and had high expectations. Small but nice place, located in a repurposed strip mall. Clean, nicely decorated and adequate seating. Two waitresses on duty. One sat idly playing on her phone while the other tried to split a joint cash out for another table, so we had to wait an inordinately long time to place our order. Thankfully, our food came out quickly and was well prepared: I had their Blue Cheeseburger with sweet fries and my wife had their RK salad. There were enough blue cheese crumbles on my plate to share with my wife's salad and the fries were very good. A few minutes after our initial experience someone came in, apparently an owner, and the activity level picked up significantly. Like most places, I guess the staff needs adult supervision to perform properly. read more

Dined there once since under new ownership. Food was very good. Good menu, service & environment. Friendly.

Rum Kitchen was very meh. I was in the area with my family and we decided to grab dinner. First of all, I had to laugh because this place seems to be a knock off of a restaurant I like in New Orleans called Rum House. While the menu and the ambiance tried to be similar to the original, the food was overall a serious miss. We started off with the queso. While I was expecting chips with queso to dip it in, that was not what came out. Instead, it was set up like nachos with a plate full of chips covered with queso, cumin, and pico (well it was chopped up tomatoes and onions but I'm assuming it was supposed to be pico). I love nachos so I wasn't originally upset but the chips were way too thin and soggy and the toppings tasted off. I was not a fan. Next, we each ordered a main course. I decided to get the 2 taco and 2 side plate with a grilled mahi taco, a grilled shrimp taco, and grilled asparagus and mac & cheese as my sides. This was probably the most underwhelming part of the whole meal. While the flavors on the mahi taco were really good, the taco shells were almost overcooked? (not sure how this happened) to the point where I had to just eat the toppings without the taco shell. That's where the good things ended. The shrimp taco had a strange flavor overall and I could barely eat it. The asparagus was undercooked but also soggy and tasted like water. The mac & cheese was definitely kraft mac & cheese but again, had a weird aftertaste. After the meal I asked my boyfriend what he thought and he felt similarly. While the ideas were good, the food was just executed badly. However, our waitress was SO NICE, which made me upgrade this restaurant from 1 star to 2 stars. Food - 1 star Price - 3 stars Service - 4 stars Atmosphere - 2.5 stars read more

Dropped by on Saturday. They apparently have new owners. They had a chap playing music which was nice. The food was ok. I had a burger that comes on a huge bun. I asked for it to be medium but it was very well done, so it was dry and dense. The fries were kind on soggy. I did not say anything given they were quite busy. The beer was good! I might give it another try. The service was friendly, and the owners were active in the business, which was nice to see. read more

I had a lunch date scheduled to meet up at the Rum Kitchen in Waveland, but I got stood up. I have decided to go ahead and have lunch anyway and I ordered a cheeseburger and sweet potato fries. I am a hamburger freak. I eat at least 5 to 10 hamburgers a week. I don't think I've ever said no if I was offered a hamburger. The burger was the best one I've had in years. The cheese was grated instead of sliced. I wasn't too crazy about the bun, I can't really tell you why, other than it wasn't all that great. The burger patty made up for anything that was lacking, it was excellent. It wasn't overdone, it was juicy and tasted great! They also had some really good bottled beer from the lazy magnolia brewery which is just a few miles north of the restaurant. The waitress was nice, the food was better than expected. I will definitely be back. read more

Wonderful lunch with friends. Two of us got the taco special, one each of shrimp, fish and beef. So flavorful and fresh! The side of mango, coconut rice rounded out our meal. So good!!! Wait staff was attentive and sweet. Highly recommend! We'll be back soon. read more

Rob’s Rum Kitchen - Crab Cake Appetizer - Caribbean Near Me - Waveland, Mississippi

I was in town for the week and upon looking at the Yelp reviews thought this would be a good place to try. Several not so heavy foods caught my eye including a mango avocado salsa, several taco options, and some lighter sides like a mango rice and Caribbean flavors. Upon arrival we saw the sign which even said Rum House TAQUERIA. we were greeted and sat quickly where we were also given a menu. This menu has none of the things I was looking for, including the tacos. There was nothing Caribbean about this menu. It was the same old same old (wish I had snapped a photo). I finally inquired about the crab on crab on crab special and decided on it. It was a crab patty topped with a soft shell crab and lump crab meat plus two sides. Well the best part of that meal was the sautéed vegetables, which were quite tasty. The crab cake was mostly filler, not much crab. I make better ones at home. I knew all this crab would cost and since it was a special, I didn't know the price. Well $40 later......I can say I won't be returning. read more

First time here. Friends told us we needed to try this place. Known for their tacos and nachos. Server was excellent. In talking with the server, he told me chappy Owens this place. Well he is an awesome chef from years back here on the Mississippi gulf coast. Place is very clean and prices fair. Food is excellent. What would you expect when a chef makes you a taco. Anyway got to try this place. read more

The food was amazing and had favor and a lot of it. The server, MS Regan, was very friendly and check on us every free minute. I met Star, the owner, and she also was very friendly and I tentatively will be back. This was my first visit. You guys are awesome! read more

Wonderful Saturday afternoon experience at Rum Kitchen. We had met the owner, Chappy a few months back and he remembered us. Food and drinks were excellent. My husband had a pecan beer and blue cheese burger. Tasted like a steak sandwich. I had a watermelon margarita and the twofer tacos (grilled mahi-mahi and bbq beef). Came with two sides. I chose mango coconut rice and plantains. Even though we were fulll, we had to try the coconut rum cake with cream cheese icing. Soooo good! Can't wait to go back again. Hope we get Brandy as our waitress again. She was so pleasant and helpful. read more

Just ok. I ordered a Cuban sandwich, fries, and a coke and paid over $20. The sandwich was dry and barely edible. Disappointing.

First time in this part of the world and had tried gumbo and etouffe a several times; really couldn't see what the fuss was about! In fact we thought they were very mediocre at best. Until we tried this place... ok now I get it. Fantastic. In fact everything is great. They also have these unique cocktails like watermelon martini's and beet daiquiri. Well worth the trip and some of the best food we've had along the gulf coast. read more

Rob’s Rum Kitchen - Caribbean Near Me - Waveland, Mississippi

Stopped by here on the back home, my wife and I both love Cuban, Caribbean and the like. We both had a Twofer Taco - choice of two tacos, and two sides. I had the Firefly Chicken and Holy Mole' with jalapeño coleslaw and Coconut Mango Rice. My wife had the Grilled Shrimp and the Beef with the same sides. We would half a taco, eat it, then move on to the next one. The tacos and sides were mediocre to average at best; in millennial terms, meh. And this is from past experience with the several other Caribbean restaurants we've eaten at that had the same items on their menus. The saving grace of the whole restaurant and meal was the dessert, the Bahama Mama bread pudding. Awesome stuff, it has a pecan sauce rather than a Bourbon or similar alcohol based sauce and the bread has a fresh taste. Should've known when we walked in at 1:00 pm and no one was in the place. But in our defense, it is in a strip mall so there are other cars in the parking lot. read more

After reading the reviews of when this place first opened, I can tell they have improved quite a bit. We had Andy as a waiter and he was awesome. He made sure we got two drink orders in before happy hour ended, but waited to serve our second drink until we were ready for it. Prices were definitely reasonable, especially considering how much food we got! I had the two-taco, two-side deal; and my mom had the three-taco, one-side deal. We were able to try the sides of fried plantains (omg yum!), Mac and cheese, and jerk veggies. For the tacos, we had the flaked mahi mahi (the best in my opinion), jerk chicken, brisket, Miss Queen, and duck tacos. There were zero leftovers. Everything was delicious and cooked to perfection. We ended with the molten lava cake. We will definitely be coming here again! read more
