Bammy's Modern Caribbean

As a former employee I was super excited to hear that they reopened! I went during a pretty slow time so the bar was ready for me, the service was fast and polite. I wanted to be biased and not have anything bad to sad but I must say I was disappointed that festival is no longer on the menu but ALLL the flavors and true authentic taste is still there. I absolutely love what Bammys has done for the inside, the patio and bar both are appealing and I can't wait to see how the seasons brings for Bammys!

IN LOVE!!!!! this place is amazing! Every order was made delicious. I definitely need to come back for dinner. Wonderful service and beautiful atmosphere

Food and service were great! The ambience was relaxing within the prettily painted walls. My oxtail and brisket hash was hot, juicy and satisfying. If you're unable to get to Jamaica, this is the next best thing. The location was hard to find because it's on the back of the building, facing the water, not facing the road. Parking was challenging and proved to be pricey. This would be an ideal spot for a warm weather date night. I will be back.

Came in on a Saturday night with a couple friends. Service was great. Ordered a couple appetizers and a couple entrees. Doubles had the perfect balance of flavors and were probably my favorite of the night. Salt fish fritters were light and fluffy, but the fish inside was very little and rubbery. Curry chicken was good. The chicken was falling off the bone and so juicy. What really made it was when my friend asked for some pepper sauce. Added that to the chicken and made it really good! I think it could've used more curry flavor though. The stewed beef was tender, but my friend said the rice and peas were just ok. I had the sorrel ginger to drink. I think it was a little too sweet and not enough ginger. Overall, everything was decent. A little pricey, but normal for the area. I'd go back for happy hour.

BAMMYS is a Caribbean gem that recently underwent a change in leadership. We had the pleasure of attending a private event at the restaurant and were treated to a variety of dishes as compliments from the house. The food at BAMMYS has a wonderful flavor that reminds you of good home cooking. One of their house favorites is the rum punch, which looks amazing with its vibrant color. However, we found it to be a bit too sweet for our taste. Friends mentioned that the Sunday brunch at BAMMYS is a must-try, especially if you enjoy live music and the option to sit outside. It creates a really nice vibe. Overall, BAMMYS is definitely worth a visit for its delicious Caribbean cuisine and enjoyable atmosphere.

Food was delicious! Service was excellent. The staff and manager are awesome. The vibe is great. We will return.

Food smelled amazing from the down the street. My friend and I decided to grab dinner and drinks. We decided to sit outside because the weary was great and the views of the water were amazing. The service was impeccable. Our waiter Deandre was all over it with ordering drinks and food. He was very pleasant and kept a smile on his face. He, without a doubt, made our experience enjoyable. Especially since I did not enjoy the food. I ordered the oxtails. They were not very flavorful and they were extremely salty. My friend had the jerk chicken, which she enjoyed and boxed up the leftovers. We ordered rum punch. The first round was ok. But after talking to the waiter and asking for more rum the second round was better. Due to the great service and my friend loving her food, I would visit this place again to try something else in the menu.

The view of the river is so beautiful but the food was even better!We got the jerk wings, Plantains and spicy beef patties. Everything was really delicious, with fantastic flavors and just the right amount of spice. I got a strawberry Long Island ice tea which was great and not too sweet. During happy hour it's on sale for $8. Even though I paid full price it was worth it. The server was very helpful and attentive especially Dre who kept coming back to make sure everything was good. I can't say enough good about this place. Great food! Good drinks! Beautiful location! Great service!

Me and some friends came in on a Friday evening. Seating: the weather was beautiful and we were able to sit outside 10/10Service: the service was good. Our server Kia was attentive and kind. 9/10Food: the food was good. Nothing spectacular in my opinion. One of my friends really enjoyed the cabbage side. I ordered the jerk wings. The menu is small, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. 7.5/10Value: i do think the food was overpriced. My jerk wings were $16, and i got 6 wings. 5/10Drinks: i had an old fashioned with Woodford Reserve. It was pretty good. My friends ordered ocean water and strawberry Long Island, and their drinks were STRONG. 10/10Other: when we were ready to pay we saw there was a 20% service charge. We were told that this is not the tip and that the service charge goes to the owners, the bar staff, then is split between servers. Our server said that if we want to tip her specifically, it would be in addition to the 20% service charge. 4/10Overall: this establishment has changed management over the years, but it still has a good vibe. I like there is outdoor seating, and food was decent. Im sure I'll be back. There's not many restaurants of its type in the area. 7.58/10
