The food was INCREDIBLE. The portions are family sizes; my spouse and I shared an entrée and appetizer, and it was a lot of food. But it was so good. The drinks were great as well. Front desk people were meh, but our waitress and everyone helping around were super nice. 100% recommend.

Dinner with the family and The Grotto BK did not disappoint! We started with drinks and then the ackee tostones along with the Octail spring rolls were delicious. And then we moved to the main event of dinner which brought on Oxtails with rice and peas with fried plantain, crab stuff shrimp, steam veg and fried plantain and a rather tasty baked Mac and cheese with oxtails..... Yes we love oxtails very much. All in all we loved the entire experience and the service was amazing.
