my husband and I stopped in here to ride out the rain storm. I was looking forward to my experience based on other reviews. Unfortunately, it was nothing like the pleasant experience that many of them had.Upon arrival the restaurant was not yet quite open for business. I understand that, and have patience. We had a beer sat at a table and waited. The owner, or manager not sure who talk to us about having a snack. We discussed chicken wings, or grilled shrimp. We decided to order the grilled shrimp. Silly me and it's stupid tourist mistake I did not ask how many, or how much. A bit later, our food arrived. I was surprised to see that we both were served a plate of very, very, very small shrimp served with potatoes and a small salad. Almost like an entree. Okay, there was another opportunity for me to say hey? What is this? We ordered an appetizer. But again stupid American Tourist mistake I accepted the food. It was not grilled shrimp, it was not an appetizer, and it was not very good either. When are bill came we were charged $15 / plate. Nothing we could do that at that point because we had already eaten the food. Lesson learned and move forward. But did not have a good experience on any level.We apologize for your Experience. The price of shrimp on the local market has doubled and so has the quality. We are sourcing other supply networks and we will improve on that. Please come back for a free meal... Again this is not reflective of our normal standard.

We were excited to go to the grand opening but it took two hours to get served, no one got what they ordered, and it wasn't really worth waiting for. Have been back a couple of times and had similar experiences. Nice place, though.

Local family-owned restaurant specializing in fresh caught seafood and freshly prepared dishes. On the beach with cool breeze and friendly staff.

This is a very small local restaurant located right on the beach and just steps away from the ocean. There were three tables inside and several picnic tables outside. We choose to eat inside because of the wind and looming rain. 'Inside" is pretty much a screened in sandy area with a small bar (I think there might have been two bar stools). Service was provided by a young local girl who was very friendly and attentive. Most important is the food was AMAZING. I ordered the shrimp in coconut milk and my husband ordered the stuffed shrimp with stuffed potato. Both meals were very different but equally great. Here's what you need to know if your fussy about where you eat. When we arrived we were greeted by two large dogs that jumped on us. We ignored them and they immediately left us alone. At one point a toddler climbed onto the top of the table next to us and the young girl serving us quickly snatched her off the table and handed her off to a young boy who quickly took the toddler outside. Eventually the toddler made her way back into the restaurant and over to our table. A young dog wondered through while we were eating. Again we ignored the dog and it left us alone. If you want to have an authentic Hopkins Belize experience Maxim's is a MUST.

Jalapeno's is a clean, bright happy spot at the entrance to Hopkins. There are picnic tables out front under cover as well as bar stools at the outside bar where you can have a meal and drink while enjoying the sun and laid back atmosphere of the Village.

While spending a week in Belize for work purposes, my three colleagues and I were introduced to Matt and Cat, owners of Jalapenoâs BBQ & Grill. A very nice and fun couple that take a hands on approach and provide a great variety of tasty and quality food and drinks.I highly recommend the stuffed jalapeños and Cajun chicken pasta - my two favorites!We are so glad you enjoyed your time with us so much. It was an absolute please to meet you all, and we hope you make it back to Belize in the future. Matt and Cat

We did arrive somewhat late but I did not think it was too late (about 8:30) as this is a bar and restaurant. The waiter was nice but the food took forever to arrive. The order of chili cheese fries was small, maybe 20 steak fries, topped with not much flavorless chili and melted cheese. The burgers when they finally arrived (over 45 minutes after ordering) were okay but not worth the wait. Considering our group of four was one of only 3 groups there we could see no reason for such slow service.

This was my favorite thing to do. I love the owners. So friendly and helpful. Our guides were both extremely knowledgeable on the history and alot of fun. What amazing views. I got bit by a bug while jet skiing afterwards . It didnt swell up until we were back to the states the next day. I sent a message to them and they were so helpful with information on what it could be. They went above and beyond. The atv was so much fun and the view was spectacular. Only other thing i would have liked to have done was stop at that chocolate shop. Haha

While in Hopkins waiting to check in to our resort, we stopped by for some lunch and drinks. I'm not sure who is writing all the positive reviews for this place. We spent 10 days in Belize and this was hands down the worst meal we had during the entire trip.My wife ordered the fried fish and I ordered fried shrimp. The fried fish was tough almost like a meat jerky. We suspect the fish may have been freezer burnt. My shrimp was tough as rocks to bite into and the shrimp had pulled away from the batter so sometimes you would not even get a bite of meat with the batter. The fries were not crisp but more like baked potatoes inside. We suspect their oil was old and had a lot of water in it. We didn't try the cole slaw as it was not cold and we didn't want to risk getting sick. After a few bites we got up and left.The waitress was polite and seemed concerned we were not happy with the meal and did provide a discount on the food even though we only ate a few bites. But for $40USD for 2 drinks and 2 meals (which were inedible) we made a point to tell everyone at the resort we were staying at to avoid Rhum Shack at all costs.Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize that your meal did not live up to expectations. We pride ourselves on providing fresh, locally-sourced meals. If guests have any issues with their meals or any special requests, we urge them to contact the onsite restaurant manager. We have revised the teamâs ingredient inspection process to ensure this will not happen again. All meals are subject to strict industry standards of freshness, cleanliness, and quality. Thank you again for taking the time to provide feedback.

They have a nice setup here with a good bar, plenty of games to play while waiting for you food, and beach volleyball available. The food was delicious as well, so that never hurts. I really liked the vibe here. I had a plain small pizza and lobster tacos.

Lovely restaurant and staff. Food is superb and staff is super accommodating with dietary needs and even a great kids menu. As the name implies, this IS THE place for lobster in Hopkins. Special Lobster Season menu and dishes are divine. The simply grilled tail is perfect, but you can't beat sharing the lobster mac 'n cheese. My son enjoyed the Gluten Free Crispy Chicken Chicklets and got a fun kids toy and "tattoo". Highly recommend.

Beach restaurant and bar, in the center of Hopkins, where you can enjoy a great view of the Caribbean, tasteful meals prepared with fresh ingredients, and the best drinks in town!

We loved the Husk! We stayed at Coconut Row so we wanted to try other places in town but most nights we agreed that the food here was better than other places in town. So yummy-the husk toast for breakfast is unique, the curry dishes for dinner are really good, and the lunch special is always something yummy!
