Fabulous food and a lovely atmosphere. They had taken the time to work out which dishes I could eat due to being gluten and dairy intolerant. Great choice of food for everyone.

We came across ‘Cribbs’ upon visiting Falmouth to see our daughter, a MUST visit when in Falmouth. The food was absolutely incredible, we had the Jerk chicken and will 100% be visiting again. The flavours were magnificent. Thank you.

Don't be put off by the basic/authentic Caribbean decor, this is a properly good restaurant. My starter was an open brisket beef taco, & whilst I may not have liked the presentation/method of delivery, the flavours were incredible. I then had the red snapper, which I had previously in Jamaica (awesome) and then in Greece (much smaller fish, so not as good), this was a proper fillet (similar to Jamaica) and was just superb. Give this place a go and expand your culinary horizons, it's brilliant.

We paid £10 for a pint of lager, small portions and the bread with my soup was a joke; a piece of sliced brown bread cut diagonally with a small packet of butter! Then they kept my change that I had to ask for, and they then gave me the wrong bill! This is the first time I've been moved to write a review.

We went to Cribbs on the last night of our holiday. We shared the bread and dips to start which were lovely. However my mains which was the halloumi jerk was way too spicy and was just burning my throat. I can handle a bit of heat but this was the next level. Unfortunately this ruined it for me. My partner had the salted fish and said his had a kick but not as much as mine. Perhaps they should ask how spicy you would like it.

Nothing like Caribbean food. Turtle bay is better! Jerk chicken tasted nothing like jerk chicken and was just hot chicken. Food came before cocktail within minutes, so obviously precooked and just microwaved. Portion was tiny. Had food in the Caribbean and cooked for me by Jamaicans and this was nothing like either.

Garlic ciabatta for starters, very juicy and tasty. We then ordered two jerk chicken dishes. On the plate there was coconut rice, green beans, plantain and mango chutney. The jerk was well seasoned and thought through, the right amount of spice vs sweetness. The green beans were cooked to perfection with a little bit of crunch. For cocktails we had one carribean queen and one banana pina colada (not actual name). Both cocktails were well made with the right amounts of liquor in. Would strongly recommend visiting this gem for something a little different!

There is a list of twenty original Carribbean cocktails to choose from, and served by a woman who loves cocktails and is happy to explain them all. The menu is a variation around burgers, but replacing burgers with pulled pork, and replacing buns with sour dough bread. There are also some stews and curries on the menu. The pulled pork is well cooked and the sauce is delicious. Even the salad has a few extra ingredients that make the meal exciting and worth visiting.

Four of us visited Falmouth for lunch - looking for something a bit different from the ubiguitous Cornish pasties or fish & chips. We found it at Cribbs Café Bar. It was pretty quiet at lunchtime, and, judging by the décor and posters advertising all-night Caribbean cocktails, it really comes to life after 10pm.

Our second attempt to eat here after going to the cinema. The first time we arrived at 20.50 and were told that the kitchen was closed. Closing time was 21.00.Tonight we arrived at 20.30 and we're told that the kitchen was closing at 21.00 and felt harassed.The meal was ok - ribs and a minuscule portion of sweet potato fries. We ordered plantain which was actually fried banana. I've had plantain in the Caribbean and I know the difference.

My wife and I are on holiday and came into Cribbs to look at the menu. I was quickly drawn to the Cuban burger and the endless types of rum!My wife is vegetarian but quickly settled on the curried chana. My burger was melt in the mouth and so so tasty! One of the best burgers I've ever had and right up there with Johnny Rockets in America. My wife commented that the curry was the best food she has had in a long long time!The food took a while to come out but I think that proves everything is cooked fresh and it is well worth the wait!!I'm enjoying sipping a rum and my wife is enjoying the cocktail menu.

The staff were so rude to me and my friends, looking down their noses at us just because we are younger. We booked ahead as it was for my friends birthday and they obviously can not handle big bookings. Forced us to pay extra because 2 people didn't come. Fair enough a certain amount of food was prepared but the staff were not even polite about the matter and made it all far more stressful than it needed to be. Especially for our friend as it was her 18th birthday!Food wasn't anything special either. Wouldn't recommend.

I went to see if I could have flavour without heat as a gluten free customer. I was the only one there and ordered chicken nachos etc and said I didn't want salsa or the chillies as I couldn't take the heat. My food took nearly half an hour....I was the only customer. I had a Diet Coke which was literally full of ice not just a couple of blocks. The food was prepared beautifully and looked lovely but as I continued to eat the chicken it became hotter and hotter. I would have loved to have eaten what I paid for. I managed to eat half of the meal. I left the rest told the waiter my concern and he just asked if I was ready to pay the bill?... So I paid full price for half a meal. Bit expensive and not very thoughtful of the chef.

The restaurant had become a family favourite after our first visit around 2 years ago in which we were extremely satisfied with both the menu choices and standard of food. Since then we have always made an appearance every time we are down in Falmouth visiting family. However our last visit we were very disappointed, the menu had clearly changed for the worse. It seemed that they are just trying to mirror the menu from there sister restaurant, Cribbs and consequently loosing there identity as a cafe/bar that we always found perfect for a light lunch with explosions of flavour. We still look forward to visiting again and hopefully the standards and variety of food will be returned.

We ate here on a wet evening - the decor and music was great - but we found the food disappointing and expensive for what it was. We both had a vegetable roti - mine was burned on the underside and consisted, it seemed, of 90% sweet potato. I didn't find any other vegetables and there was very little goats cheese. We did receive a 5% discount without asking as the curry sauce was made with rice instead of lentils because they had run out of lentils. The sauce itself was very tasty and was the best part of the meal. We were the only people in there the majority of the time so there wasn't a great feel to the place but I understand that the bar gets lively late in the evenings.

Went in after the Christmas Lights switch on ceremony for something quick and easy to eat as previously enjoyed the food at Cribb's Restaurant up in the main street earlier in the year. Whilst the barman/waiter was friendly, he had to ask again what food we wanted as he'd forgotten and then when he brought our drinks my partner got Guinness instead of cider. When our mains arrived it was a bit disappointing. Whilst my partner said the burger was fine it was nothing to write home and "not as good as The Shed or the Meat Counter and more expensive", the Jerk Chicken Nachos were the worst nachos I have ever eaten. The salsa and guacamole weren't homemade and tasted like the over-processed ambient ones that come in a jar and are sold in the crisps aisle of supermarkets, there was hardly any melted cheese and what was meant to be jerk chicken on the top was just slices of reformed rubbery chicken that had a texture like they'd been microwaved with no seasoning at all. The barman/waiter did ask if everything was ok and I said I wasn't enjoying the nachos and explained why and whilst he apologised there was no offer to exchange them, knock them off the bill or a free drink and I'd only eaten about 20% of them. My glass of wine was £6.50 so at £28.65 in total it was a pricey mistake all round. Shame as we live locally and there is a nice relaxed atmosphere in there but we won't be going back or recommending it.

Decided to eat here whilst on holiday. Menu looked interesting - so we went in & ordered burgers & drinks. Only 1 other table was occupied at this pointOur drinks arrived - and then so did lots of people for a 21st birthday party!!! All the other tables were quickly cleared away to leave a dance floor.At this point the barman came over to us & asked if we'd like to move upstairs where it would be quieter.We did this - the food came - we ordered more drinks & then we were completely forgotten about. The party had taken overIn fairness the food was very tasty - but when we went downstairs to pay - the party was really going and there was a big queue at the bar. I waited 10 minutes but could not get anyone's attentionI guess we could have just walked out without paying - but I'm not like that - so I spoke to the doorman & eventually he got them to give me a billI could have given a 1 star rating - but the doorman said they had no prior knowledge of the party. We did enjoy the food & we do have a tale we can tell our friends

We wanted a mid week meal out and decided to try Cribbs as it has been recommended to us before. The café bar is really relaxed and homely, the staff are great, very friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. They looked after us and we had a fantastic meal. Good value too. the rum bar is amazing and the guy behind the bar knew his stuff. Totally recommended and we will be back for more! Thanks Cribbs!

Took our 10 & 6 year old boys for lunch , sat on the mezzanine level overlooking the cocktail bar which kept them amused . Lovely chilled atmosphere listening to reggae music , nothing was too much trouble , even making "mock tails" for the kids. Food took about half an hour but when it comes you understand why , WOW , all cooked from scratch and full of the flavours of the Caribbean . Curry in a roti was gorgeous ! Special children's menu too.

We noticed this bar on walking past and noticing the words gin bar on the side we walked in to the bar and strait away where greeted by a gent behind the bar who was there working his first shift the member of staff talk us trough all they had on offer and we said we would be back later for something to eat we did come back later and this time a lady staff member greeted us and sat us down. And because of the conversation we had earlier about Hendricks gin and tonic I had this and my gf had a lemonade made fresh in house in front of us. we ordered and where told she would come around with everything soon. we waited 10 min and are order arrived and the sandwich was just amazing and and the drinks where beautiful and showed that the staff new what they where talking about when it came to there menu and drinks the food was served on a large tray and really had a rustic steetfood feel to it witch suited the theme of the bar once we finished our meal we where asked if everything was ok as well as being Asked by both staff members if all was ok but we whernt however given or asked about coffees or deserts and if we would like them this was a shame as I would of stayed if this was offered in a menu to us as it wasn't we left but felt that we would return very soon with our family to eat and drink again as this place is a gem and the best place to dine and drink in Falmouth 5 out of 5 star the only thing they could improve on is more detail given to customers things like service table seed and menus and nearing and greeting.and side plates handed out if shareing ? Other than this it was perfect

We had a great impromptu lunchtime at Cribbs. The food was fabulously fresh, hot and tasty. Service was very friendly and attentive. We couldn't fault the whole experience. Try it. We can't wait to go back.

We expected big things from this restaurant and as a group of friends all with Jamaican roots we know what want. Firstly the cocktails are very good, always a winner.To start we had scallops cooked to perfection and the sharing starter, the belly pork was fantastic as was the spicy chicken but the prawn in coconut was a strange combo. The kids mac and cheese was an absolute winner, possibly the best we have ever tasted......ever!Main course was lamb curry, now, this wasn't as I had been lead to believe by the waitress, I asked was it the " lamb carry" in coconut milk she said yes.It wasn't, it was more like the curry goat recipe but with lamb instead which was delicious just not what I thought I was ordering. The Rice and peas was rather tasteless but the sea bass on spicy rice was wonderful as was the fried plantain and the belly pork which just melted in the mouth, heavenly.I can't wait to revisit and try the rest of the menu, and some more cocktails of course!

Called in for a late lunch, no trouble to the young lady who greeted us. Seated us, poured drinks gave us fabulous pulled pork tacos & then proceeded to get her own lunch. Strictly speaking we were on overtime for both her & chef. That I really appreciated, try this place out & you won't be disappointed.

I was expecting great things from this place, but was sadly disappointed. I went on a Sunday evening just after opening time and found the place to be lacking in atmosphere, service (although I think this was down to shortage of staff, rather than the waiter/barman in question) and value.

Really friendly staff and a fun Caribbean theme. The food was nice and spicy. The cocktails were pretty good too. we went in the afternoon with a small child when it was fairly empty, I imagine it fills up in the evenings for more of a pub/club vibe.

We have just returned from our second visit to Cribbs and I thought the last time was good, but this time it really was amazing food, service, style and atmosphere. The soup was a party with every mouth full and then I had ribs for main, just simply delicious. The whole table of 8 didn't leave a mouth full, starters, mains and desserts. Happy food served by happy people. Go !

We were looking for something for lunch on a short visit to Falmouth, and were attracted by the promise of something unusual and interesting. We were not disappointed. We ordered spicy squid with salad, and a grill Halloumi wrap, with two Jamaican ginger beers. The plates arrived quickly, and we were served with a smile. With Bob Marley playing, and a nice, Carribean decor, we enjoyed our tasty lunch and left happier than when we arrived. A sure sign of a restaurant worth recommending!

A good selection of yummy cocktails. I was particularly impressed with the decorations, very pretty drinks. The staff aren't particularly friendly but I felt like they were focusing on correctly making the cocktails. -Which was an interesting process to watch.Will visit again.

Have eaten here a couple of times now, and both times were a great experience.The food is really tasty, and good value for money as it is very filling :-)The bar itself has a lot of character and authentic atmosphere.if it wasn't for the English weather you could actually believe you were somewhere in the Caribbean....The staff are always very polite and helpful.The only downside is with the sauces available with your food ..... Mayo or ketchup..... Didn't see any Caribbean type sauces .... Like reggaeor chilli ..... Needs more zingy sauces

Stop at Falmouth, we only have time for an hour to drive further, and we had a drink here. It was more or less like a bar than cafe. The staff was very friendly , we ordered the Cappuccino and we could see he really made it by heart. A nice short time here.

As we were staying in Carbis Bay (and having already really enjoyed The Ugly Butterfly) we chose to visit Walter's as well. Booking by telephone was easy and I was impressed that the person taking our booking asked about dietary requirements. We were, however, less impressed when we arrived at the restaurant and the staff appeared both disinterested to see us AND confused by being asked what for a gluten free menu for my wife. It took several minutes for them to manually mark up a menu with a pen to indicate what was gluten free, something we would expect to be ready at a venue in this price range. The food itself was very nice, which is the rescuing factor for this review, but when we pay this sort of price for food we also expect a nice ambience and friendly welcome. This contrast is made especially clear by our having eaten at both adjacent restaurants during the same stay (Beach Club and Ugly Butterfly) where both the staff and the vibes could not have been more friendly, welcoming and fun. We would not choose to return to this restaurant with both these alternatives being only a matter of metres away.

We hired a beautiful field on the Cornish cliffs with the most spectacular views. So lucky to have found such a hidden gem for our perfect wedding venue. Absolutely wonderful owners and extremely helpful. Could not have had a better day! Thankyou so much for allowing us to use your stunning wedding field. It was one to remember! X
