Vern's

Was delicious. Had stewed chicken, rice & beans for lunch. Was so good, brought an extra back for a friend. Lots of gluten free options. Great local spot. Fair prices and great food.

Come here if you want some delicious local cuisine and to leave happy with a full stomach! They had a place for us to park our bikes underneath the restaurant and greeted us as soon as we walked in the door. The stewed chicken was delicious and the plantains were perfectly cooked. This was definitely some of the best Belizean food we had while here. The staff was super friendly and also offered us a fan since it was hot outside! The price was also very reasonable for two people, an we ended up paying around $18-20USD with two meals and drinks included. This is the perfect local spot if you want to try something local and delicious!

I hate to speak poorly about a small local business but our party was dissatisfied with this place. We came due to the close proximity to our lodging. This place had good reviews and the locals talked it up as well. It is far from fancy but we were just looking for decent local cuisine. Inside was about 100 degrees so we sat outside at one of the 2 tables and were eaten alive by the bugs. First off, nobody could understand what they were saying. There is also no actual menu so ordering was not easy at all. Most of us ordered the conch which was a huge mistake. It wasn't small pieces like I have had elsewhere, it was a giant piece of rubber. Completely inedible. No joke, it was obviously not prepared by someone who did not know how to prepare this. I ordered some meatballs, there were 4 tiny tiny balls of salt. Also inedible. The rice and beans were ok. The drinks were tasty.. People were friendly although the service was non existent. Ambiance was what you'd expect. I also think they just make up the price and when they see some Americans it gets way more expensive. One person in our party did get a fish dish and it was tasty. 5 other people were very disappointed with their food. We headed to another restaurant afterwards as everyone was starving. Choose wisely if you go here. Perhaps we just came on a bad day or ordered the wrong things.
