Thirsty Turtle

We visited for the first time last Friday around noon and were seated immediately. We came specifically for the Haddock Fish and Chips, and it did not disappoint! The two generous portions were flaky, golden, and cooked to perfection. You can tell the fries are hand-cut/homemade, and the coleslaw was a great addition. My husband also loved the black beans and rice—the portion size was impressive. A huge thank you to our waitress, Brenda, who was incredibly attentive and made us feel right at home. We’ll definitely be back soon!

We stopped in here when we first got to our VRBO. We enjoyed the food and atmosphere so much we went back there three more times. So 4 out of the five days we ate at the Thirsty Turtle. I did not taste anything that was not good.

The blackened grouper was absolutely delicious and so was the side of mashed sweet potatoes. The fish dip was equally as delicious. I cannot rate the coleslaw as I was too full to eat it but it looked delicious.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Head Chef Temo absolutely exceeded expectations! He prepared the 2-dinner 5-piece chicken strips for me and Les Nackman, and without a doubt, they were the best we’ve ever had. Perfectly seasoned, cooked just right, and served fresh. You can tell real care and skill went into the preparation. We truly appreciated the quality and attention to detail. If you get the chance to try his food, don’t hesitate — Chef Temo delivers excellence.

If I could give zero stars I would. The service started out good, server was very nice and was being polite to our daughters. Got the peel and eat shrimp and it was served to us with the line (poop) inside. Asked the server if that’s how the restaurant serves it and his answer was “it depends on the kitchen”. So if whether or not the cook feels like doing it or not. Being in the restaurant industry myself that is a terrible way to run a restaurant. He did take it back and removed it from our check. But once he took our plate back his attitude completely changed towards us. Very unprofessional. We spent $80 on food and the only thing that was pleasant were my kids hot dog and fries. It’s a shame because it’s in the perfect spot and Juno is so beautiful.
