    Such a wonderful find when driving the backroads with my daughter on beautiful Saturday. I reccommend the Tuna Cevichi and Grilled Broccolini for a nice light lunch. We stuck around for the happy hour and had a flavorful Dirty Bananna. Can't wait to bring my husband here.

    This place has a nice patio area and full bar. The happy hour deal is drinks only. I got chips and guacamole and it seemed too small size guacamole for $10. (Only 2-3 tbsp size) But overall, the bartender was nice and they have a good vibe. I will come back to try out their food.

    Wicked Wings!
    Wayne S.

    Several weeks ago, I stopped in for the first time on a Tuesday night for dinner. It had been a long day and after traveling, was ready for some food. After I was seated, it seemed to take at least 5+ minutes for someone to take my order, despite seeing servers walk by my area. My server was efficient and friendly. I ordered a Coke and Wicked Wings ($15.99). The wings were good, although not quite the best wings I've ever had. I ordered half with Old Bay and half with Thai Chili sauces. I thought both sauces were good and the celery was fresh. Nice cozy place and maybe next time I'm in the area, I'll give them another try.

    Stopped by after hearing so much about the place from the Cigar Store staff next door. Service was just okay. The food was dry (Mahi) and fries a little on the salty side. Appetizer of wings were the best part of the meal.

    Look no further, this is an out of this world restaurant. The service is always quick and they constantly check in (but not too much where it get weird). The chip and salsa is a must order while you wait for your food. I got the steak tacos....I dream about them sooooo much now. The ratio of all the ingredients is perfect and they don't hold out on the steak. The sweet potato fries are the best and I wish I could get even more. You have to check out this place!!!!

    Hubby looked up a few spot to eat and we settled on this location for dinner. Upon arrival, parking was scarce due to the 3 reserves spots for curbside pick-up. We entered and the place seemed packed. We waited near the hostess stand, and was asked what did want. No greeting, just simply asked what we want. We advised the young lady, we wanted to be seated for 2. She said gives a moment to clear and clean a table. Not even 5 minutes of waiting, we were seated indoors near the side not far from the front door. We were given menus; the front contained the entrées and the other side drinks. I ordered the salmon and shrimp on a bed of mash potatoes and spinach with sautéed peppers' also the side green salad with no onions. Hubby had the Seafood stew. Service was on the slow side, but it does give time for conversation, but still the wait was a bit much. The salad was better than the meal alone. My entrée was overly salty, both the salmon, spinach and mash potatoes was too salty. The shrimp were no whole, just chopped in small pieces. Not what I imagined. Even hubby complained that his meal was salty. I hope the cook will be made of aware of this issue. I know for a fact I am going swell up from having too much sodium! We decided to just pay and leave than make a fuss.

    Crab cakes were excellent; all good stuff that tasted fresh, and very little filler. Although I can't claim to be a crab cake connoisseur since I'm not a local, these are easily the best I've ever had. Would love to come back, if I ever get the chance.

    This place isn't a considered local find for me but glad I went. What stood out the most out of my entire meal there with my friends was their mussels! I can't praise enough how well they were cooked and seasoned. The mussel itself was fully cooked yet somehow still tender which is very hard to do and the broth they cook it in was so good my friend and I kept dipping/sipping the broth alone after we finished the mussels. Although they had great service, I only gave them 4 stars because our other main dishes weren't as stellar as the mussels. Maybe the bar was set too high from the beginning but everything else is average with no shining points.

    Our visit to Surf House was on point tonight. We have been here before but it's been years and we forgot how good the food was. I didn't get many photos of the food since we were starving. Although for starters, we ordered the PEI mussels which are steamed mussels in a white wine sauce with two pieces of rustic toasted bread. The sauce and mussels were perfect. Then for the main dish, I ordered the fish & chips which consisted of three cod fish and perfectly cooked fries. I have to say these are probably the best fish and chips in the area that I have had so far. My husband had ordered The Dude Burger which he said was surprisingly good. Then we ordered the key lime pie to go for dessert and it's very creamy and light. Folks definitely need to try this local gem--the Surf House. And if you like to drink, they have a nice bar and drink selection. Nice and trendy ambiance with cool painted surfboards hanging on the walls. Reminds me of my times in Huntington Beach, California vibes. They even have a nice patio for outdoor seating option. During COVID, they do have a carry out option and have heat lamps for food for pick up. However if you choose to dine in, they do have limited table seating, provide hand sanitizer at each table, and servers are wearing masks.

    This is such a great place. The inside is super laid back & beachy, & they have a cute outdoor area as well. Definitely get the calamari & a margarita! I had a Mahi Mahi rice bowl as my lunch and it was great too. I can't wait to come back here. Waitresses are friendly :)

    Ask the Community - Surf House

    Is there outdoor seating, and if so, are well-mannered dogs allowed?

    Yes there is an outdoor patio and also live mellow music. Yes you can bring your dog, at least we saw a little dog out on the patio tonight.

We were looking for a spot that had good vegetarian options for our friends. I'm not super familiar with Jamaican cuisine beyond Jerk Chicken and rice and peas so I tried to pick some things that sounded good. I ordered over the phone and they were very patient with me not being able to pronounce everything perfectly but they took their time and made sure to get our order completely. They were super friendly and the food was ready to pick up quickly! We tried the Coco Bread which was huge as well as nice and sweet and fluffy. We also tried a vegetarian patty which had a great flaky crust on the outside. Next we tried the Ital Stew which I wasn't sure what it would be exactly but he said it would be a variety of mixed vegetables. The vegetables were cooked perfectly and had a very mild but great flavor! There were so many of them in the portion as well! The rice and peas were tender yet not overcooked at all, and deliciously seasoned... they had a hint of heat in the aftertaste that was very pleasant. My sister got the Brown Stew chicken with mac and cheese and rice and peas. The brown stew chicken was HUGE... had a nice sweet flavor and the chicken was tender falling off the bone. The mac and cheese was very good. You can tell it's homemade, in a good way. Like your favorite aunt whos been making it for years made it for the cookout. The steamed callaloo was an unexpected favorite for the table. We absolutely loved it- the greens were cooked perfectly and we felt it had a very light tasting flavor as opposed to some lard/bacon heavy methods of cooking greens like that. It doesn't taste overly vegetable-y either... I think little kids would even like it. And then a pleasant buzz from the heat of some peppers. The jerk chicken also had a pleasant heat, and again a huge portion for what was called a "small"!! There was also a nice tangy sauce on the side. All in all... the people were very nice and the food was so delicious! I love finding a place where I can eat vegetables that are cooked in a flavorful and healthy way. On top of that, the food is affordable and you definitely get what you pay for... everything was huge! I would definitely recommend Taste of Reggae.

After a very long hike in the morning, the wife and I decided to pick up something for lunch. And while looking for something new in the area, the wife decided to give this place a shot. We stopped by the place which is tucked in between some other warehouse stores, in the corner, not on the main road. We decided to order our food and Chef Pat was so kind and professional, he stopped by our car in the parking lot as we were struggling to find the place. The food we ordered is in the pictures, jerk chicken, Ackee & Saltfish, Mango Rum Cake, conch fritters, plantains and some beans and rice. We were running late, so the chef said they will deliver the food to our place. When the food was delivered to us, there was some miscommunication between what was ordered vs. delivered. However, when we called them, they apologized for the mistake and took care of it right away. After all this, I was, tbh, a little upset. And we sat down to open our delivery boxes since we were super hungry. As the lids opened, the aroma of the food filled the area. My frown turned into a smile right away. Now, I was getting excited to try the food, everything was packed very nicely for delivery, & was still nice and warm. Once we started tasting the dishes, I was floored. I have to say, by far, very very far, this is the best Caribbean food I have had in the US, thus far. The jerk chicken is cooked to perfection, I believe the chef mentioned they make it fresh everyday. The plantains were just so amazing, caramelized to perfection. The conch fritters were a perfect accompaniment with a sweet and spicy sauce. What truly left me speechless was the ackee and Saltfish, I cannot even begin to describe how good that dish was. I am a fan of Caribbean food now, if it's this good! To finish off, we split the Mango Rum Cake, where all we kept saying, after every bite was "yummm", as we kept closing our eyes to experience that perfect finishing touch to our meal. The food was cooked with a lot of skill, care and tons of love. The staff is coming up to speed and being trained, but the attitude of the chef is super professional and customer care oriented. A Hell Yeah 5 Star Review! Will keep going here, for sure. Wish you much success...!!!

Island Food To Go is an operation ran by Chef Pat, and you can really taste the authenticity in his food. You pre-order via calling the number or directly texting the number that is provided and then you can pick up the food curb-side, or you can have it delivered to your home. The jerk chicken was mind-blowingly good; the jerk marinade was so well-balanced and it had just the right amount of heat for my taste. The salt-fish and ackee dish was so delicious! Combine that with the red beans and rice and you have a comforting and delicious meal that is soul-satisfying. With each entree you have a choice of either white rice, yellow rice or red beans and rice. The mango rum cake we ordered was moist, buttery and perfectly baked. I can't wait to order their caribbean spice cake next time. There was a massive mix-up in terms of what was charged and what was actually delivered when the delivery driver delivered our food, but the business owner was quick to rectify the driver's mistake. They are still fairly new and fine-tuning their logistics, but with their level of professionalism and superior quality of food, I see this place becoming a big success. Can't wait to order my next meal from them!
