Good service, and the patio dining was fun for lunch. Was a little surprised by the prices. Drinks are $15-20BBD Entrees were $40-70 BBD. The pepper pot was delicious, tender, with perfect seasoning. The salad dressing was a fruity vinaigrette, that was a good compliment to the spices of the entree. The vegetarian primavera was also good. Good service, and unique atmosphere.

We had a business lunch in this place and one of the best things of this restaurant is the marvelous location besides the beach. At noon, you are surrounded by the turquoise transparent water and craddled by the noise of the waves on the side.
The food is very good and reasonable by Barbados standards. It is a sophisticated version of bajan food plus international. Service was very good and they managed to give quick service to a large party

4 of us visited after making a last minute reservation. We had the a la carter menu which was good. There was a nice selection and we each equally enjoyed our meals.
The restaurant wasn't too busy, the service was ok. Would return again as we liked the food.
6. Lobster Alive
Overall Ratings
4 based on 941 reviews
The restaurant initially began as a wholesale distributor for the island's hotels and restaurants. Cooked takeaway service was added; along with a friendly free beer while you wait. Shortly after that the health inspector demanded we go the whole way or "wholesale only". This was around 1998. Long time friend and fellow musician with the local VSOP Jazz band "Stu Jenkins" became the resident artist (designer) and we named the up coming restaurant "LOBSTER ALIVE and all that Jazz". We felt our way; with many of the usual restaurant mistakes. But it seems now, we have scored quite well with international critics, restaurant guide books; and our many repeat customers.

You go here for Lobster, you have to try it, it's the best, fresh and cooked to perfection. We were there on a Thursday night, the Jazz was good and the girl singing added a nice touch, particularly her rendition of Route 66.

Set in the middle of a residential estate this is an amazing local restaurant. Not fine dining by any means but a rustic shack with a great atmosphere and fantastic local food. Our steaks were perfectly cooked and the service was excellent.
Highly recommended but be prepared for something different!

Reviewed By Peter C - London, United Kingdom
Had been searching for authentic Barbadian food from local vendors.
During our visit to Bridgetown, we came across a restaurant called Mustor’s. This restaurant ticks a lot of boxes for us:
1. Authentic cuisine ✔️
2. Frequented by locals ✔️
3. Good service ✔️
4. Very reasonably priced ✔️
5. Substantial quantity ✔️
We decided to get a takeaway - ordered fried chicken with macaroni pie, stewed chicken with rice and peas. The total price of this was $38 BBD and the food came very quickly. There was so much of it, we could not finish it in one sitting!
Would definitely recommend Mustor’s

After reviews on this site saying there are gluten free options we went here at lunch. We asked what they had that was gluten free and the reply was "nothing".
Though friendly (and helpful when we went back a few seconds later to ask about any supermarkets nearby that might offer something we could eat) no attempt to offer anything gluten free was made.
