Just Grillin' - Reasonably Priced Grill on Barbados' South Coast

Just Grillin'

A grill eatery located at Quayside Mall on the south coast, directly opposite The Accra Hotel.

This is a very popular casual dining restaurant, especially for locals. It gets a lot of tourist traffic because of its location in the south coast tourist strip. It has a couple of other locations around the island, including a‎ large food truck in the growing Welches commercial area.

Of course, it's the burger that I like. Their chicken wrap and Caesar salad are good too.

The burger can be ordered as well done, or not, as you like. It doesn't seem like a large burger but it's probably least 6 oz. of ground beef patty. 

I suspect it is seasoned only with salt. This is my only issue with the patty- bajans like their meats liberally seasoned with a variety of herbs, salt and peppers. A "dash of salt and black pepper" in NOT seasoning. As a consequence, the burger is blander than I would like, but it is still tasty and juicy. I suspect the American or European palate would be satisfied.

The sauce is the best part. I could drink that by the gallon. Tangy and sweet, without over doing either flavour. Seasoned well I think, so it has a good flavour overall. They should, and do, bottle it.

The price is reasonable. Lower end of medium pricing, I would say. The burger in the pic is around BDS $16 standalone, around BDS $17 ‎to get it with cheese. It comes with a side of coleslaw, and you can order other sides.

Sides include Caesar salad, grilled potatoes or vegetables.

The spot has a lot of other dishes- grilled fish, shrimp, chicken, spare ribs and steaks‎, so there is something for most.
