Montego’s Caribbean Cafe and Bar Downtown

Great burger and friendly staff make this a future destination. The Full Monte Burger was impressive, great flavor, quality ingredients. Good stuff.

The food is mediocre at best if you’re into waiting 45 minutes to an hour to get it. I’ve been here 3 times and it’s always the same. Especially on «all you can eat wing night» which should be called «all you can eat until you get fed up waiting for these lackluster chicken bits night».
The only thing consistent about this place is the consistent disappointment you get from your growling stomach while waiting.
I’ve never wrote a review before but I felt inclined after this visit to expose the waste of space this place is.

Food was excellent. Our party enjoyed the crab cake Po Boy sandwich and a burger. Service was ok, not great. Our main issue was that we ordered frozen margaritas for $ 7 each and they clearly didn’t have any alcohol in them. We were told that they make their own margarita mix from scratch but that wasn’t true. Overall alright, not awesome. Would probably try it again in case it was just an off night.

We were surprised how much we liked it here. The beer selection was great and the waitress was very helpful with it. I ordered shrimp tacos with coconut curry sauce and they were the best I’ve ever had. We had great service the whole time even though they were busy. Will go back for sure.

We’ve frequented the West Mobile location since it opened, and our first trip to the downtown location didn’t disappoint. Some of us had a beer, which came from a great selection. We started with the fried pickles, which had a nice spice to them and set them apart from the standard ones that most places serve. I chose the blackened mahi mahi with cheese grits and fried green tomatoes. Amazing! That was the best fish that I’d had in a few years! It was generously portioned, perfectly cooked, and seasoned to perfection. Their sides certainly never disappoint either. My husband chose the blackened shrimp and grits, which I would also recommend to anyone. The staff was wonderful. I say it collectively because we can’t just brag on our server. Almost everyone who was working stopped by to check on us and talk to our babies. Overall, I give this place a wonderful recommendation whether you are just grabbing a beer and a bite with friends or wanting to have a meal with the family. This is definitely high up on our favorite places in Mobile!

One of the best places in Mobile Alabama, food is great, burgers are, well let’s just say, Huge, delicious, enough for two. The mimosas and bloody Mary’s on sat and sun brunch amazing. Our server was simply the best, she was on point all afternoon, I’ve been here more than once in the past couple of weeks, only one server, wasn’t good, look I have money, if you want me to spend it, and I say this emphatically, DON’T BUM RUSH ME, I finish eating and bam you bring my check, excuse me, but I may want to chill and drink a few more cocktails, nothing more annoying, otherwise this place rocks, check out the Sunday deals.

We had the opportunity to show some out of town relatives our beautiful city on Sunday, and what’s a better way to do that than brunch downtown at Montego’s? It was gorgeous, and all of the outside tables were taken, so we sat inside by the bar. The place has a great ambiance, so we were cool with that.
The menu had several options that sounded phenomenal making it hard to choose one dish. My sister-​in-​law and I both decided on the castaway crabcakes, my husband had the Conecuh and egg tacos, my son had the burger, and my sil’s boyfriend had a pulled pork sandwich. The castaway crabcakes came topped with a fried green tomato and a crawfish gravy. They were delicious! My husband said «Oh holy hell» when he tasted his tacos. He loves Conecuh, so it was a given that he would love them. The other two guys were pleased with the burger and pulled pork. I’d say the food was probably 3 ½ — 4 stars. The prices were pretty average.
Now onto the booze. My sister-​in-​law and I were slightly persuaded to try the bottomless mimosas for $ 8. The orange was weak, the cranberry was pretty good, and the pineapple was pretty good. Mixing the pineapple and cranberry was the bomb! The hubs had a few $ 4 draft beers, and took home two cool beer glasses for $ 3 each.
What puts this place above other restaurants is the service. We had awesome service from the minute we walked in the door. Our waiter was Thomas and he was attentive, friendly and a pleasure to be around. The service was definitely 5 star.
We were totally charmed and will definitely go back!

Sunday brunch with bottomless mimosas is amazing! Loved the crab cake! And our server Chad was great!

The food was good. Our waiter, Thomas, was so much fun and a great help. It was my 1St time in Mobile. Love the area and he had great suggestions on what to do. On Sunday they have $ 8 bottomless Mimosas for brunch. 3 choices of juice and he let me combine the cranberry and pineapple. Very tasty. I ate the Castaway Crab cakes. It was good but my boyfriend order the pulled pork sandwich and it was very good.

An absolute horror! The waiter sells me on the loaded baked potato. Comes out with «old pork» in an uncooked potato. I’m not a complainer so I just don’t eat it. The waiter notices and asks me if the potato was hard. I said yes it is not cooked. He said that’s happened 3 times today and takes my bill and goes and gets me $ 1.00 off. I would send Bin Laden into that place! How can something like that happen over and over and no one do anything. Imagine what the kitchen looks like. I’ll bet it is frightening!

They have 40 something beers on tap with the majority of them being local breweries, pint night is a great deal ($ 8 for a glass that you keep and then $ 2.75 for refills), fish tacos are out of this world, live music on the weekends and a great staff that genuinely cares whether your okay or not. We will be back!

I’ve been here a few times and my service is always good, the food always comes out in a timely manner, and they have a good beer selection. The shrimp Martinique is awesome.

Awesome fish tacos! I came in on Monday night during the 3 $ fish taco special and ate like 7.

Can’t comment on the food — I wish I could. The music was so incredibly loud… my husband and I couldn’t sit long enough to order some things we REALLY wanted to try. When we asked about turning the music down slightly — we were immediately told by the server (and rather rudely), «that is our standard operating procedure». Seriously? You have a certain decibel level that busts eardrums as an «SOP» where people are supposed to eat dinner? There are plenty of bars and music venues in Downtown Mobile. If you are going to be a restaurant — be a restaurant. If you want to be a bar with INCREDIBLY loud music, then don’t expect people to come in to have a nice dinner.

Good location and great beer selection. Food and service were both good but not great. It seems to be basically the same as the restaurant that was in that location previously. I think they just changed the name and rearranged the menu slightly. It’s worth stopping in if you’re hungry and in the area but not worth going out of your for.

Great beer selection (48), great burgers and great Caribbean inspired items! Martinique shrimp and fish tacos were awesome! Pint nights on Thursday. $ 8 for the first then $ 2.75 refills.

Don’t bother. Awful service. Awful food.
Maybe come after they figure out all the kinks…
