Mama Tilly's Bar

All five stars - with the understanding that you are on island time (nothing happens fast) and that there is no menu. You get what mama makes and you say please and thank you. Mama Tilly is a local lady who serves up fine West Indian cuisine. We had a party of 5, and had Marlin and grilled chicken quarters. We had all wanted Marlin but all she had was 3 pieces left from that days catch that was cleaned...so chicken it was. Cooked on the BBQ and served seasoned to perfection we all enjoyed both the chicken and the fish. It was served with numerous sides including a garden salad, green fig salad, noodles, rice, plantains, and a mix of steamed Christophine and Carrots. 3 of us had juice (grapefruit, sour orange and passion fruit (pictured), and we had 1 rum punch and 1 beer. The total for our dinner was about $60 USD (including alcohol). You will never find a better bargain! Be ready for an experience!

If I could give this place 6 stars I would! Mama is a legend, her food is delicious, but the experience of eating here is what you really need to come for. She works tirelessly every day serving the community extremely fresh and affordable food. Don’t expect a “menu” or posh cocktails…. The rum punch is strong and she tells you what she has available on the day, bbq chicken, grilled fish, lamb chops, pork rib and if you’re lucky, lobster. All the salads and sides are homemade and change daily. It’s like you are sat in Mama’s house having dinner with her family. We went back every day we were here and chatted to lots of friendly locals and visitors alike. Thank you Mama.

Mama Tilly's Barbecue & Grill is the kind of place that reminds you why local spots matter. This was such a warm, authentic local experience. Mama Tilly herself does it all. From greeting you when you arrive, to taking your order by simply telling you what she has available that day or night, to cooking the food, serving it, and checking in on you throughout the meal. There’s no rush, no pretense, just genuine hospitality and pride in what she does. And the food—absolutely delicious. Comforting, flavorful, and clearly made with care and experience. This is the kind of meal that sticks with you, not because it’s fancy, but because it’s real. Mama Tilly is amazing. This place is amazing. And if you are anywhere near Laborie, you owe it to yourself to make the trip and visit her at least once. You won’t be disappointed.

Very unique little restaurant that offers incredible value and great food. We had the fish and a rum punch and dinner was only $18. The fish was fresh caught that day and it included 6 sides. Be sure to stop in early and make a reservation and choose your dinner. I can see why she has been in business for 23 years. Great stop if you are in the area.

If you want an experience like the locals, Mama Tilly's is your place. She has the best prices in town. She makes the best lobster meals in the area. I ordered a half lobster meal and got a whole lobster for the same price? Two for one. She has been there for a while. A must have experience. Don't talk politics unless you are yellow.

Mama Tilly is the best! So kind and a true legend. This was the best food I had on my whole trip in St. Lucia! The menu changes everyday - based on what’s available for the day. The flavors were phenomenal and her hospitality was unforgettable. If you’re in St. Lucia, you must eat here!

What a little gem. We did come on a Sunday evening after the storm, so there was no seafood available, however, Mama Tilly offered the most scrumptious chicken instead. Be careful with the Rum Punch, it certainly gives a punch! But you're on holiday, so enjoy! Chilled, friendly, delicious, local, unpretentious. Don't come if you're in a rush, as no one is in a rush. Delicious.

Ate here twice at our stay in Laborie; highly recommend! Cash only & no menu; whatever Mama Tilly is cooking is what you get ... as such, food changes day to day & even throughout the day. Delicious flavourful food; we had grilled fish & conch. Consider going early to eat or even ask what's available.
