Really enjoyed the Llittle Grill. Nice out of the way location. I actually remember the building from when it was a bar in the early 70s. The inside was clean and nicely decorated. Our waiter (jojo?) was great. Very friendly and informative. Started with a Red Stripe beer for my husband and a Jamaican margarita for me. My drink was... More

It's... relaxed. I think that's a nice way to put it. Don't go if you're in a hurry, but the food is delicious. Special concerts most nights are great too.

We recently attended a birthday party with 25 in attendance. The food and service were wonderful and we were served with politeness and in a timely manner.

Went here on a night they had a band. They we're very busy and we had to wait a few minutes little longer than other restaurants for our food, but it was great food! We had the chicken nachos, which were tasty, and I had the BBQ chicken which was spicy and had great flavor. Even though it was busy,... More

Jerk chicken, outside dining, relaxed atmosphere. Kind of hard to find if you don't know Manhattan. If there is live music that is a plus. Food is spicy and portions are good.

We LOVED the location and vibe. It was a great break from aggieville scene. Drinks were good and music was great! Unfortunately food was lack luster and bland with exception of frog legs (great). We tried 3 main entrees at recommendation of our great server and were disappointed with all. We will be back just not to eat.

Ok I've read most of the reviews and what has been raved about the most has been the atmosphere and friendly staff. This is typical of a true caribbean joint though so I was not surprised. I have had a lot of items on the menu and I must say this is the closest to Belizean (part of the Caribbean... More

Out of the way, but worth it. Great value for the food. I'm not much of a carribean food guy, but loved the chicken that I went with. Certainly a fun place to go, would definitely go back! Music makes it fun too, not every night from my understanding though.

Atmosphere is everything. If you agree, this is the place for you. Genuine, friendly, and laid back. Jamacian man. I haven't even been when there is live music yet. I suggest if you want quick service and a perfect meal you go elsewhere, mostly because you ruin the mood there for the rest of us. For those of us that... More
