    Got a too good to go surprise bag $6.48, the food came hot and fresh so I was excited. However, I definitely expected more food for the value given that it's the "special" bag and compared to other too good to go value bags. The food itself is pretty average / good compared to all the Jamaican food I've had. Heard some people on google reviews had stomach issues with it so we'll find out! Service - fast and nice staff Ambiance - it was empty inside apart from people getting takeouts and a man drunk/out at the bar

    This is a cute restaurant off if 610 and close to downtown. It has a nice bar and space to host a party. We went on a Sunday and tbe service and food were an A+. We ordered 2 lg oxtail plates and I love their seasoning and sauce. They have happy hour all day on Sunday and the rum punch was too good. This is my maybe third time going and i will def be back.

    I'm usually a Cool runnings Jamaican grill and bar fan and that's where I'll stick to ordering from now on. When my food was delivered I had one scoop of cabbage that was smashed into the plate, 2 small plantain, some goat curry and rice and peas. Half of the food was inedible. One of my plantain was extremely dry, the goat was rubbery and fatty with a lot of salt and mostly bones, the rice and peas was not good and I didn't even touch the cabbage. This "large plate" was $27. I get twice the amount for $20 at cool runnings and the food is always immaculate. Thank god door dash gave me my money back.

    It's not even located on Bourbon Street, or even within 5 hours of it. False advertising? Bourbon Sizzler aka Island Sizzler aka Indian Sizzler is definitely a very popular Jamaican restaurant and it takes over a spot that has had so many other Sizzlers (such as Island Sizzler which was very similar and Indian Sizzler which was quite different). No matter what the Sizzler, it's always been a good place to eat and now is not an exception. Yes there are some dishes that aren't as good as others and yes they're not the cheapest considering the neighbourhood, but it's still a great place to come and get food.

    Eat at your own risk lol. The food and service is inconsistent. I assume since they have changed the name the restaurant is under new management and so the experience is definitely different. The inside was very dim... no island music playing just some guy at the front taking your order while on his personal phone. The customer service wasn't bad but it also wasn't great. The restaurant was pretty dead when I arrived. I was able to place my order and get my food pretty fast. Upon opening my small curry plate, it was definitely the smallest portion of curry chicken I have ever received from this restaurant. I guess they are cutting back. My portion size should have been on the appetizer side. The favor was there, I could taste the authentic Jamaican food but it was just OK. I guess I want more from this place since it's one of the only places in the area that serves Jamaican food. I am not sure I will be back but then again I tell myself that all the time and 3 months later I am back... always slightly disappointed lol

    placed an order using the TGTG app; the food was delicious!! amazing portions for the price paid. the service was really really great and the ambiance was nice. i will be back in to try their lunch specials as well as their DAILY happy hour and it definitely looks like the bartender knows how to pour a good drink.

    Not good. If you are looking for oxtails they seem to have good reviews. Never have chicken patties in 3 weeks i have requested. Orded small chicken curry. No spice. Barely any flavor. Asking for steam rice which is on menu. Not available again. Only cabbage n rice n peas. I don't like either. I had rum punch n d pending who is making it might be decent. Drink only

    Overall, the Bourbon Sizzler's jerk chicken with rice and peas was satisfying, but I'd prefer more sauce on the side. Opted for takeout. In and out is my preferred choice for a quick meal, given the outside activity levels.

    Beef Patty

    So disappointed! I haven't ate here in a couple of months but I never would have expected the food to be so off. The oxtail were not seasoned the same, not tender & had a sweet taste to them. Not to mention the beef patty was soooooo greasy it needed a couple of napkins to allow it to drain more. I think the place has switched owners there is no way the same people are cooking.

    Jerk Chicken Plate: Jerk Chicken, Rice and Peas, Cabbage, 2 Fried Plantains

    If I could give a 3.8 star rating I would and here's why: * The jerk chicken was great seasoned well and not under or overcooked but I didn't understand them not having jerk wings available since it is a Caribbean restaurant but the chicken was good so a win is a win on that. * Rice and peas were fine and not over/uncooked either but thankfully I ordered oxtail gravy which literally made it amazing! * Plantains were top tier! Love a good sweet savory plantain and that made the meal not overall not so great because for the next one. * Cabbage gave very much high blood pressure immediately. No exaggeration, it tasted as if they made the cabbage in saltwater literally. 0/10 for the cabbage without a doubt. * Price point was great for the amount of food received. * Delivery packaging could be much better (sticker, seal or even double knotting the bags for safety purposes).

    Easily the worst rice and peas I've ever had in my life. These people are serving dog food.

Feels good when an establishment takes pride in their customer's feedback and puts a plan into action. Honestly, part of me was hoping that last time was just a fluke or an off day. This time around, everything from the service to the food was great. We had a 12:30 Sunday reservation for two and opted to sit inside this time. We ordered the cast-iron cornbread, chargrilled oysters, and a cup of gumbo each to start. For entrées, I had the Gulf Fish, while my husband went with the crawfish Florentine. Everything came out beautifully timed, almost like a perfectly paced three-course meal, which obviously made the whole experience feel elevated and relaxed. Our waiter was knowledgeable, attentive, and on top of everything without being overbearing. I also tried the prickly pear aid (non-alcoholic), and it was super refreshing, definitely worth ordering if you like a little tartness to cleanse your palate. Overall, this visit felt like a completely different experience than last time. It delivered the elevated experience a place like Eunice promises and what I was used to originally. Looking forward to celebrating my birthday here in June!

Unfortunately, the overall dining experience was disappointing due to both the service and the food quality. Our server was very slow throughout the evening. After ordering cocktails, it took approximately 20 minutes for them to arrive. We then ordered our meals... I had the burger and fries, while my girlfriend ordered the shrimp and grits. Both dishes were noticeably over salted. After finishing our meals, we waited an additional 15-20 minutes just to receive a dessert menu. Eventually, we decided not to wait any longer and went to Dessert Gallery down the street instead. While the atmosphere and appearance of the restaurant were excellent, the slow service and food issues negatively impacted the experience. Based on this visit, I would likely not return.

We started by sharing a couple of appetizers - the smoked redfish dip and the biscuits. I'm weird about smells and aftertastes - and was hesitant to try the smoked redfish dip. The dip was flavorful and very smoky - the crackers it is served with were amazing. The aftertaste was tolerable, but a little fishy for me. The biscuits - I could write poems about them. I'd go back to eat baskets of just those biscuits. Highly recommend. My husband ordered the fried catfish platter - it was amazing. The catfish nuggets were crunchy and HOT (temperature), the fries were perfectly seasoned and the hush puppy was a crunch heard around the globe. Sadly, the shrimp and grits arrived to the table at room temp. The flavor was really good, but I was worried to mention the temp issue and have the kitchen nuke them in the microwave. The red beans and rice were similarly room temp and congealed. The restaurant atmosphere was lovely, the service was solid, and on a Tuesday evening we could have walked in and been seated quickly. Overall, it was a nice evening with our friends. Sometimes the company makes up for small disappointments.

Arrived Sunday at noon and we were greeted and seated as soon as we walked in. Our server was super friendly and helpful since this was our first time eating here. She recommended the lychee lemonade and it did not disappoint. Although my man thought it was too sweet.. I thought it was just right. For starters we ordered hush puppies and seafood gumbo. The hush puppies are really good and I also liked the tartar sauce. When the seafood gumbo came out and it was sat on the table, I smelled a foul odor. It smelled spoiled. I told my man and he said he thought it was the crab, The crab smelt funky. He did tell the server and she told the manager and they removed it from our check. We think maybe the crab was frozen and or spoiled. I ordered The fish and chips. A really good portion and the flavor was good. I did like the fish and french fries. The coleslaw was just okay not my favorite. My man ordered a pound of very spicy black mussels and 2 lb of very spicy live crawfish. The flavor was good. The muscles were a bit too salty for me but the flavor was still good. The restaurant does get pretty lively but they do have plenty of staff. Overall I'll say the service was top-notch but I don't know that I would dine again. If so, I'll definitely get that lychee lemonade and hush puppies again :)

Inside it's a nice restaurant with an upscale feel to it. I ordered a house salad for $9 to start and the Pasta Rosa entree for another $28. The salad arrived first with a generous amount of romaine lettuce with diced tomatoes, cucumber, shredded carrots and chopped eggs on top. With my chosen ranch dressing it was a good tasting salad. The Pasta Rosa dish had sliced Parmesan strips on top of penne with shrimp, crawfish and sausage for the protein with mushrooms and a tomato cream sauce. This meal initially tricked me. My first impression was that while there was plenty of protein the taste of the tomato cream sauce was lacking some flavor. I expected more. However as I kept eating and getting beyond the top layer of the food the flavor increased significantly. I think that the proteins caused the sauce in the lower half of the dish to create more punch. This dish got better and better and I changed my mind. It turned out to be a very good tasting and filling meal. Finally the table service was very good too. P.S. I also tried part of another appetizer which was the bar b q shrimp for $16. They were tasty. I like Rouxpour and would return. My only negative is that their prices are a little on the high side in my opinion.
