Good food. The prices are a bit high for my taste. Did not like the bread pudding and I was so disappointed about that. The caramel sauce was very wine infused. My friend eat it up though. The fish tacos were a bit fishy for my taste. The chicken skewers were really good. And the plantains and beans were delicious, just how I like my plantains. Had sangria, red, I didn’t really like it. Maybe should have gotten the white. We sat outside, in the front because the inside was so warm and they were having a reserved party in the back. The waiter was nice giving us suggestiond to what to do in the area.

It was a nice ambience, sitting was out side on 4th street and their was good live music. We had the potatoes, shrimp, bbq guava wings and ceviche. Flavors were great. Definitely will be returning.

The portion was very generous, however the sauce of my Cajun shrimp was so very thick (too much cream I’m guessing) that covered up the good flavor and became quite heavy half way through. Same thing with the chicken skewers. The meat was so nice and tender but the peanut sauce was so greasy that kinda ruined the dish for me.

Really great service, and the food was impressively good! Had the Brussels sprouts as a starter – it was rather uniquely prepared, and it was delicious. The zarzuela was out of this world – it beat all the other fish stews I’ve ever had. This place is a gem.

Delicious small plates and good service. The three of us ordered 4 plates and that was plenty. Fun and funky atmosphere.

Wonderful, festive, but low-key Caribbean atmosphere, sure to put you in a good mood. We’ve been going there for years, and it’s become one of our favorite places. The food is varied, delicious, and the presentation just adds to the appeal. The calamari is better than any other place we’ve had it, and the cowboy steak is an unforgettable blend of tastes and textures. And then there’s the sangria! The prices are reasonable, and the service is friendly. If you haven’t had the pleasure of visiting Whipper Snapper, give yourself a treat. You won’t be sorry!

Had dinner here a couple nights ago with friends. We started with the beet salad, which was terrific. Then we shared the fish tacos, which were fishy tasting and full of lettuce. Do not recommend. Our friends had the jerk chicken which was very tasty. We finished with the bread pudding, and that was also pretty lackluster. It looked like a lump of meat covered in gravy, and seemed like it may have been microwaved, with tough bits of bread around the edges that required a firm cut with a knife to get through. The sauce was ok, but not great. Do not recommend that dessert.

This place tastes like Taco Bell but you’re paying $ 30 for rice and beans. Overpriced with mediocre service.

Love Bill the owner/chef and Mariana, daytime waitress. Food here is always OUTSTANDING! Flavors incredible. Atmosphere is great, too. So friendly, casual, inviting. Live music always good, too—have a GREAT Brazilian acoustic guitar player!
