Gloria's

The food here is amazing!!! You have to try the fish soup. Just the right amount of spice\pepper. Soo good. I had the garlic lobster with festival and fried bammy. Very good. Also tried the fried fish. Excellent!!! Definitely recommend.

Food was good and service was quick.. enjoy every minute of it 😁❤️

I Love this place. Real authentic Jamaican seafood all the way. The food is always cooked to perfection. The staff is always friendly. I will never get enough of Gloria's seafood. All meals are prepared to order, so it's best to order before you go so don't have a long time to wait 😁.

A lovely evening sat watching the birds in the harbour. Service a little slow but I had read all the other reviews before going. Drinks took a while, I would take your own water bottle so you dont dehydrate. Ive never had fish before but all the locals recommended it so I went, the waitress recommended curried coconut fish and it was so yummy. I asked for it mild so they made it specially. All the fish is red snapper and lovely and fresh. Its a fish restaurant but there was one chicken item on the menu. By the sound of the local chicken population, Id say the chicken is as fresh as the fish.

Excellent fish and local cuisine. Historic sites. A place where time stands still

The best steamed fish I've every had. Lobster was cooked to perfection.

This lovely establishment has two locations in close proximity to each other and is about a 20 minute drive from the airport. The main location of Gloria’s is waterfront and directly across from the Police Station. Head upstairs where you have a nice breeze off the water, a bit more shade and watch how quickly your mind begins to relax as you settle into a nice drink of coconut water and rum while you decide on lunch! I am a steam fish and soup type of girl when fresh off a flight and this plate did not disappoint. The fish was nicely seasoned, just enough heat and packed full of okra, pumpkin, onions, tomatoes, and just enough gravy to soak up that steamed bammy (cassava cake). Fried breadfruit that was slightly sweet and crisp was the perfect side. A small portion of cabbage dresses the plate and is just enough to add the additional crunch. All fish comes fried or steamed whole, with the head on. If you are not used to eating a whole fish with bones, you must carefully pay attention to the direction that the flesh lays and carefully remove it with your fork in the direction of your bone. This is the time to eat with your hands and place a plate on the table for bones only, trust me, you will see everyone doing the same. Nobody has time to bust a heimlich maneuver because you decide to choke on a fish bone so stop being cute and dig in! The menu has many local faves including curry shrimp and lobster, fried chicken and vegetarian options. Just be advised that certain items are only sold on certain days and based on availability they just might be out of exactly what you want. The wait staff was scarce, but a young girl who had the responsibility of most of the upstairs dining room, did her best with a smile and was very accommodating and polite. Now guys, do not expect your food to be finished in 15 minutes, we waited an hour, so I suggest you order a few drinks, catch the breeze, relax, take in some conversation and enjoy the sounds of Jamaica while you wait on your meal that will not disappoint! Enjoy Unnerved Traveler

When in Jamaica 🇯🇲 I always stop by here at least once for a bite. It's a rustic spot with decent food, almost an institution on the island. The place is typically busy, so you have to exercise a little patience. The fish tea is on point, curry lobster delicious, and the steamed fish is worth trying. I tend to go with the fried fish (snapper), and although good, I believe Hellshire Beach still has the best tasting fried fish in Jamaica that I have tasted. I would definitely say that it's worth a visit to Gloria's if you have the time.
