i’m bahamian and this is the only real bahamian restaurant i can say is in miami the first place i hit up when i go back home is bamboo and lord it feels nice to be able to go get a taste of home not too far from my home perfect location perfect food and great customer service my crack conch snack is the best !
This is my first time ordering I spent $55Buying conch frittersAnd crack conch and it was the nastiest conch I ever tasted it tastes like the oil was old it was more bread than anything my first and last time ordering
The first 2 times I went I had an Awesome experience. I ordered the conch snack. The last 2 x's I paid $23.00 for fried flour. There was no conch. There is heavy batter on the conch. Very very very disappointed.
This was the place to go for down home food until they decided to now charve you for rice and all the sides that makes a dinner so instead of spending $25 for a dinner its now $40 well NOW you can go to Dwinkey's souce house and get a good Bahamian dinner without the extra $15 for marcaroni, rice and coleslaw shame on BAMBOO SHACK...
Last night I had the pleasure of ordering from Bamboo Shack, via Urbereats. This was the most delicious fried snapper I have ever had and the Bahamian Mac 'n Cheese was even better than the same meal ordered in Nassau. This was my first time ordering from Bamboo Shack, but it will not be my last.
I tried Bamboo Shack today as I was in search of some good conch. I normally go to Moby's or Shakers when I visit, but I wanted to try something new.I placed my order over the phone when I was about 10 mins away. I ordered a conch snack (~$22). My order was ready when I arrived, but it wasn't hot. The fries were cold and the conch was warm.I checked my food in the car and was the fries had no seasoning (no salt, season salt, pepper, nothing). I went back in to inquire and was told it's not the Bahamian way to season.When I got home (about 8 mins away) I warmed the conch on low in the oven. The conch itself wasn't seasoned either BUT it was really tender. The conch sauce provided some taste, but it is a very small serving.The hot sauce provided over powered the conch, so I didn't use it. I squeezed some lime on the rest of the conch and added some salt. It was better.I probably wouldn't try here again, unless it was something else on the menu (there is a cracked chicken sandwich that looked interesting). I just wasn't prepared to have to season my food after purchase.
I was visiting Miami after my 4 hour drive to a family member around the surround area. We decided to pop in and grab some lunch, being as Bahamian delicacies are rare in my town. I ordered the crack conch snack with the works(mayo, ketchup & hot sauce on top) I was only missing the onions. This was the Bomb?? the conch wasn’t hard it was nicely seasoned and fluffy. The portion of conch could be increased, but it was all worth the trip. I washed it down with the best beer of the Bahamas Kalik Gold.The establishment was clean the bathrooms were well kept. The bathrooms are only available to be opened by an associate behind the counter. There weren’t any hand towels to dry your hand the only option was the hand dryer.
Prices are wayyy to outrageous now , they use to have a snapper dinner that you can get for for $21.95 comes with the fish and any 3 sides now they have changed it to only come with fries. And the sides are $4.25 each now . Soo basically you are paying $10 more . This is ridiculous! Also their bamboo roll is not authentic they are taking king Hawaiian rolls out the pack and putting them with the orders
First time eating here.. The chicken was so delicious. It was juicy, crispy and so well seasoned! Their mac and cheese was the best I've had in a while. I ordered Cole slaw but they didnt put it in the bag. The conch fritters were yummy but they didn't have any visible conch in them and the cracked conch was a big disappointment; especially considering how expensive it was. Next time I'll stick with just some chicken and macaroni and save myself (and my wallet) from any disappointment.
Hands down a must try. Everything is good the Mac and cheese, peas and rice excellent. Conch fritters excellent, fried conch excellent, Everything is excellent. The amount of food you get for $$. Is well worth it.
