Montego Blu

Such a fun spot! We came on a weeknight and it was not crazy but bustling! Honestly we'll have to come back to try more, but the food we did have was delish! Service was great, friendly and efficient! Our two kiddos ordered kids meals, which were fine and what they would want (cheeseburger sliders and mac and cheese).Hubby and I shared some cheese curds, which were yum! Sometimes restaurants do the heavy breading, but these were light and crispy and stringy! Exactly what you'd want!For dinner we did tacos (and by that I mean my husband got them). He did a trio - grilled mahi mahi, jerk chicken and jerk pulled pork. I only managed to get a bite of the grilled fish taco, and it was tasty and flavorful! I was having a hard time choosing, and ended up getting the jerk chicken nachos. These were the largest plate of nachos I've ever seen! And I loved them! Lots of different toppings made for great bites, plus loved the white queso! So delish!We'll be back to try more! Their menu is super fun with a lot of Caribbean influenced dishes!

When in Excelsior you have to eat here! We stopped here because my good friend is the cook. This place is great, the beer is local and the food is out of this world!We started with the Caribbean Egg Rolls, so delicious and the house made honey dipping sauce I'd put on anything!! We then had 2 tacos: jerk chicken and jerk pulled pork, so much flavor! For our main dishes we had the labor inducer burger and the jerk chicken sandwich. So much wonderful food, I cannot wait to come back and try so many other things! Definitely a place to check out, this place will be around for a while.

This restaurant is modern, clean and really makes you feel like you are somewhere tropical. The menu is large and a lot of items sounded good. I went with the shrimp curry bowl and it was very flavorful and well composed!For cocktails, I tried both a pomegranate and a raspberry mojito and they are both mediocre; the pomegranate was better than the raspberry because the raspberry tasted very artificial. All-in-all the drinks are very over priced, $12 for mediocre is not good. I'll come back to try more food but will skip the cocktails.

We are always looking for spots to eat in Excelsior, so we were excited to try something new!Parking can be hit or miss, as there is primarily street parking nearby! The space itself is definitely an upgrade from the dark and drabby previous establishment occupying the space. Walls are lined with tropical wallpaper, Jimmy Buffet was playing over the speakers, and plenty of natural light flooded the space. My only comment was that the tables and chairs are all just kind of skewed around the open room. I think it would greatly benefit from some built-in booths, and some organization/order to their table line-up. Our server was super friendly, attentive, and on-time throughout our stay. The menu has a lot of options, including true American bar food but also tropical-inspired cuisine. There were a few different things that sounded yummy, but I decided on the Labor Inducer burger. It was perfect! Juicy, flavorful, and appropriately cooked. The fries were substantial and perfectly paired with their island dipping sauce. Excited to come back and try more! Newer establishment, still working out their groove, but definitely worth checking out for some casual, yet tasty food in Excelsior!

This was a good meet in the middle place to hit up between friend's and where we are all located. Was a trivia night but was barely full...seems to be a place where its alot of repeat people coming in as mostly everyone and the dj knew each other. Food was good! Tator Kegs and Cheese curds was our pick and would come back just for the Tators!

I had came here super excited because of the reviews and location and how new it was. I admit i had pretty high hopes because i love jerk food and was not super enthused afterwards. Sat down pretty fast and the atmosphere was good, the place was cute I can admit. I ordered the jerk chicken wings as a starter and they came out maybe room temp and had flavor, but the dipping sauces not so much:/ i was excited because they seemed pretty original too and had potential. Honestly the two entrees I had at my table i don't really remember because they were also room temp and not what I had expected. Our server disappeared so we couldn't get refills on drinks or get the bill for a minute so I had ordered a mojito from the bar while i waited. It was extremely strong and turned me off from it. It honestly didn't taste like the correct liquors were in it. I would try this place again but I was disappointed in how my first impression went.

First time visiting this newer add to downtown Excelsior. Was joined by my parents and 6 year old. The space is bright and has a fun Caribbean vibe to it and offers a lot of interior and some patio seating. The music playing was on point with their tropical vibes too.We had a reservation and were sat right away. The staff was welcoming and smiley. The menu itself had me concerned both in its appearance (think the old plastic covered Perkins menus) and it was such a large assortment of items (ribs to pasta to tacos) that I was nervous that everything would be just okay. Thankfully the food we ordered didn't disappoint, but I really think they could benefit from a little menu makeover.My mom has the G.O.A.T. Salad with jerk chicken which was good but maybe a little boring for a full dinner meal. My dad had the ribs and loved them. Tender and flavorful, he said he'd for sure come back for them. I enjoyed the jerk chicken taco but would skip the grilled shrimp taco next time. The pineapple slaw side was also yummy. The kids menu has the usual suspects and my kid opted for the cheese pizza and fries and I appreciated they served his right away and he enjoyed it.The key lime pie for dessert was great!Their drink menu looked fantastic featuring a lot of tropical blended drinks but I missed that and had already ordered a beer from their nice list. I'd for sure come back for a pina colada next time!All in all I liked this place. Just needs a few tweaks to bring up the experience to be a full 4 or perhaps even 5 stars.

Very slow service, even when there were very few tables full on a weekday at lunch. Food was pretty bland and just ok.

The southwest chicken bowl was delicious and nicely spicy. The bowl was enough for two meals. They were very accommodating for our big group. Service was good. Drinks were good. Ambiance is nice and modern. We will be back.

Dirty Banana was pretty good! I was a skeptic at first, but was it was pretty good! Atmosphere was great as was service!
