My co-worker eats here every Wednesday after work off the lunch special. I decided I wanted to give it a try and YES the food is amazing. I am use to my husbands cooking and making Caribbean food SPICY so I wish it had the KICK I am familiar with. The establishment is nice and modern.
This was my first time trying food here and was sadly disappointed. On the plus side, the place looks clean and the staff was pleasant. I just feel deceived by the reviews about how good the rasta pasta and stuffed avacado was. The stuffed avacado is definitely unique and didn't taste bad but it isnt something that I'd typically pick. It reminded of shrimp cocktail but mango flavored. There was barely any crabmeat. Definitely not worth $20. The chicken rasta pasta had absolutely no flavor. It was 80% pasta. The chicken seems like it wasn't seasoned at all. I'll have to season it up so that i wont feel like i completely wasted my money. For almost $50, i was hoping that the food would be better.
I traveled to this restaurant because another nearby restaurant, C-Crab in Camp Springs/Morningside, MD opened at 2 P.M. and I said I'm NOT waiting two hours for a restaurant to open (I call those lazy hours because no one wants to wake up early), so I decided to head to Blue Waters Caribbean restaurant 🔵. It had orders flowing through it by the time I arrived, probably more than 10 people between my order and those while I was waiting for my food. Be prepared to view the menu beforehand because you'll need to scan the QR code on your phone to see the downloaded mobile menu. I feel like this would be an issue to non-tech savvy folks or the visually impaired. There were music genres on two different TV's playing 👀. It was a clean atmosphere and the restaurant was extra clean, clear, and presented well. In the afternoon I bought the Rude Boy Pasta - Salmon, seafood mac and cheese, and Tropical Rhythms in Sorrel Ginger. EVERYTHING was DELISH 😍😋😍. I'm still full and it's nighttime!! I spent $45.58 for all three items total 💵. The Rude Boy pasta I thought would be more like rasta pasta and have the salmon mixed in, but it's stacked on top of the pasta. I'd love if they mixed it in. (At Costco, you can get a WHOLE huge fileted salmon for $20 or less, but membership maybe makes the price like that.) Idk, maybe salmon is priced like that because #seafood 💰. Next time I'd def buy the seafood mac and cheese in a bigger tub or the largest container I can buy it in 😅. Want to be full for a few hours? Come here. Love a Black-owned business with all the staff support? Eat here. Have money to splurge and are in the neighborhood? Spend the money here! The next time I arrive, I'll come solo and get a house made favorite like Island Punch/CMoss, the calamari, seafood bisque, seafood mac n cheese 🧀, and jumbo lump crab cake sandwich (without the 🍞.) Or if I come with friends or family, we'd have the most fun time with the menu and music 🎶😃!!!
I have been wanting oxtails for about 2 weeks now. I have finally found a place close to me that is open late on a Sunday😊 First of all I called to make sure oxtail was available. I was on hold for 9 minutes. Man I really wanted some oxtail. They said yes! Rght there I ordered over the phone the oxtail with rice peas and cabbage then some fried calamari with sweet chili sauce 😋. Food is cooked to order so it does take some time. I would prefer fresh food over something that has been sitting for hours. The oxtail was seasoned nicely. Tender meat with a hint of spiciness. This accompanied the rice and peas that had more of a coconut flavor than anything else. The cabbage was fresh and needed more salt for my taste. But when you combine all 3 its just right. Only real complaint I have is I would like more gravy/sauce with the oxtail. I like to sop my food up in that. The calamari was lightly breaded and not over done. Chili sauce to complement was perfect. I ate the food right in my car. Couldn't finish the oxtail bc I was full. U do get a good amount of food for the price.
Dula and Darius were a dynamic duo! It's a family owned restaurant and the vibe was amazing!!! Everyone was super friendly! Omg that crab butter 🤤 The loaded potato stack and curry chicken bbbaaabbbyyy! My only star deduction was the cabbage and rice & peas had no flavor separate BUT mixed together with the chicken 😋 🔥 we will definitely be returning!!!
