The wait staff were very nice but the food...Oh boy. I have NEVER had a worse burger. It's my own fault for not looking at the small print of the menu for the burger. It was a very small patty, American cheese, 3 tiny pickles and a super spicy sauce. No lettuce, no tomato, no onion, NOTHING.
A McDonalds cheeseburger is bigger than this one that cost $21. The food was room temperature, the fries were room temp and floppy (small portion). I wish I had taken a photo. When I say it was smaller that a McDonalds cheeseburger, this is NOT an exaggeration. We also got the lamb skewers that were overcooked, cold and hard. So difficult to cut into with a knife.

I would never recommend anyone I know to eat here. Maybe go in for drinks but not the food!!!!

I arrived 5 minutes before opening but was welcomed in. The vibe here is amazing, as is the service, food and drinks. Already planning my next visit!

Parking: Lot mentioned pay-by-phone location #1242 but it was not found in the app. The parking lots are free for two hours per the waitress.

P.S.

I rarely write reviews for restaurants because most of time the experience is lackluster. Not here!

The food was absolutely delicious. You can tell a lot of love and good ingredients goes into every dish. The gumbo was so incredibly delicious I’m still thinking about it the next day.

Excited to return and try other dishes!

Highly recommend the shrimp and grits! We enjoyed everything we had, and all of the servers were bubbly and kind. Great music too!

Parking: We parked in the garage near QFC. There is some street parking near the restaurant, but pretty full

I'm not really one to be super impressed by a restaurant but this place went above and beyond on all of my expectations especially the food. I haven't been able to find a good pattie for 8 years. Finally my dreams have come true. Everything else we had was awesome as well. Between the 4 of us we tried 8 dishes including apps and everything was great. Will be back many times, especially for the patties. Thank you!

We come to kirkland often and this place is a breath of fresh air to the ever changing waterfront area. The vibe here is amazing. Great music, and the staff were some of the most friendly and enthusiastic I've ever seen. The food here is fantastic and relatively rare to find in the area. We came a bit too early for the drinks but the menu looked very enticing. The food on the other hand was all delicious. I struggled to narrow down my picks and my wife and I ended up with the tostones, jerk wings and fries, ox tail stew, fried catfish, and coconut corn muffins. Do not leave out the corn muffins if you eat here. Do yourself a favor and add it to whatever you order. The tostones were filling and perfect, the oxtail was cook to tender perfection, and the catfish was some of the best I've had in Washington. Surprisingly the fries were not just a random add on, they were sort of cut like a steak fry but more randomly shaped which allowed them to get this super crispy edge but fluffy inside. One of the best fries I've had in any restaurant period. Do yourself a favor and come here. It was memorable and remarkably delicious. We need more places like this around here.

Great Caribbean spot in Kirkland with seasonal rotating menu. Fried chicken biscuit sandwich is a great choice for brunch, the serving is huge, and cooked perfectly. Amazing service.
