Bimini Big John's — Restaurant in Bimini

Stopped here because we were handed a flyer for a free drink while at North Bimini beach. What you get is basically a slushy you can pick either strawberry or mango. So at least I saved myself the cost of a drink, which I read from previous reviews are definitely not worth the price. The view was very beautiful the service is like everyone has mentioned fairly slow, but our waiter was just pleasant. The food was pretty decent. The conch fritters were OK it’s my first time having them so don’t really have anything to compare them to, but they did not taste bad. The crab cake I will say was delicious you only get one, but it’s a really good size. Both myself and my husband got the lobster tacos and those were actually good and made well. I felt at least the pieces we got were a nice size. They were decent little chunks other places we’ve had lobster tacos. They basically shred the lobster and all you really taste is the tortilla. The only con for me is the auto gratuity of 18% which explains why the staff is not friendly or worried about being efficient and then also the 10% transaction fee. Our service was not fast, but we didn’t mind the wait as the view was very beautiful. We did not have as long a wait as some have mentioned having to wait up to an hour for their food, but when we went, it was not very busy at all. If it wasn’t for the extra fees, I would...

After four days in Bimini my wife and I had one of the best meals all week. They even had free WiFi on premises. The restaurant was spotless and all their employees seemed to really enjoy working there. Service was great as well as their version of shrimp scampi with rice and tostones for me. My wife had a delicious piece of grouper with rice and tostones. Dessert was a flan that was very good. If this was the end I would have given them five stars. When we went to pay they took my card and came back and apologized that the credit card machine was down and cash was the only way to pay. Thank God I brought cash with me and paid my bill. I feel really bad for the party of eight that we’re eating and didn’t know what was coming as they never mentioned it to you upon sitting down. To all future visitors bring cash because their credit card machines will probably not be working. This was the second established restaurant that the credit card machines were not working this week. I hope they forward the 12% VAT tax I was charged to their tax collector to help make Bimini a better...

Fairly certain this establishment is using counterfeit liquor in their drinks- specifically their mojitos. My husband and I came here for lunch after a beautiful day on the beach. We had only coffee and croissants for breakfast so we were quite hungry. We ordered steak tacos and grouper, along with a skinny mojito (I had 2) and a mango mojito. After we left, we stopped by the straw market and eventually made our way back to the cruise ship. A few hours later, I became violently ill- specifically experiencing an intense headache, dizziness, fatigue, and horrible pain in my stomach which led to vomiting. The only thing we had consumed besides a pastry and coffee was this restaurant. However- I do not believe it was steak tacos that caused my illness. I called poison control center because I was worried and they said it was likely bad alcohol was the culprit due to my symptoms and the timeframe. I recommend everyone avoids...
