    We took my Cousin for her Birthday outing. Really cute eclectic place. Love the Bar swings and chandeliers. They were a little short staffed when we first got there. We got seated and took a bit, but finally more servers came in and then we were taken care of very well. Our waitress was wonderful and never wrote anything down and got it all right! Even separated our checks for us. The smoked half chicken really stood out as well as the BBQ Shrimp and the Plantain Brule' with ice cream and caramel sauce. We had a very fun time and all enjoyed our food and drinks...

    We really liked this place! The bar swings were so cute and the decor was quite unique and I loved looking around to see what I could see. I had the black bean soup and mango slaw - delish! My husband had the Jambalaya and loved it. We also had the ribs, gumbo and paella - we enjoyed everything! For "dessert", we had the Tiramisutini and it did not disappoint! Service was fantastic!

    They might have been having a bad night, but the service was terrible the night we went. It took quite a while to get our first drink order. Our food order came out quickly, but our second round of drinks that we ordered, arrived AFTER we had finished our meal. It took at least 30 minutes to get them. We were going to just cancel the order, but our server never came back to check on us. The food was just ok, not as good as it's been on other visits. I'm sorry to say that I doubt I'll be going back here anytime soon.

    We had a reservation and at first sat us at a very small wobbly table in the back of the bar area. Asked for a different table and were sat at an equally small table in the front window directly in the sun. Service was very slow. Server forgot about our appetizer. The BBQ shrimp were good. My wife ordered the tuna and the server made sure to ask if med rare was ok. Which it was. However, when it got to our table it was over well done. The Jerk Chicken sandwich tasted fine but the presentation is not great. Instead of a normal chicken breadt it is sliced into several pieces and is impossible to eat normally. Server never refilled our waters and it was 10 minutes at a clip before we would see her. Overall we felt like an after thought. It's too bad because we enjoyed our previous experiences there.

    I was so excited to try this restaurant and it had the potential to be amazing, but it wasn’t. The restaurant is laid out in a fun atmosphere, but the employees definitely didn’t go out of their way to make it that way. The food wasn’t great. The steak in the steak tacos was very tough. The Vegetable Cubaniche lacked flavor. On top of that we felt our drinks were pretty weak with little alcohol in them. When we were done eating our appetizer dishes were still on the table. Nothing got cleared off. I had a lot of hope for this restaurant to be fun, festive and flavorful and it fell short.

    The food was delicious, the setting was fun. Our young server was pleasant but getting an accurate check and completing the payment process ruined the experience. We asked for our check and were given one that was obviously wrong…it included drinks we didn’t have, and no food! The total was much lower than what we owed. We had to track down the server to explain the problem and ask for a corrected bill. We even wrote down what we had ordered. We waited at least 30 minutes for a new check, while watching our server attend to other tables. No effort had been made to produce an accurate check for us. We left there feeling very frustrated.

    It’s a shame when lack of servers contributes to a less than positive experience. We waited 20 minutes for our drinks to arrive - a beer, a sangria and a sazarac. The sazerac was the only complicated one and it came out first. There were 4 people behind the bar so we really couldn’t figure out the delay. Our food was delivered timely but it was just ok. We love Cajun/Caribbean cuisine so were excited to try Boogaloo. Wish it had been a better experience.

    Three of us dined there last Saturday. The place was pretty empty when we arrived. The drinks were good, the swing seats at the bar are fun, the service was friendly and attentive, but the food wasn’t great. The tapas (crab empanadas & cigarro cubanos) and the jambalaya were ok, but the gumbo was bland and barely warm and the ribs were meh…maybe it was an off night but overall just average

    What a awsome experience I celebrated my 31st birthday, with some family and close frinds, what I ordered was the BBQ shrimp which wasn’t terrible but wasn’t my favorite, I eww a bunch of reviews about it so I got that. Along with a side of fries and the wings extra crispy .. The fries was awsome didn’t think the other two had much flavor or maybe I just picked the wrong dish .. My drink was awsome yhe himingway whoa what a drink off a few sips …I’ll definitely come back

    The food was great 😊 better than great. The service was amazing. The restaurant was 10% full and the other customers were ridiculously loud. They were so loud my date and I couldn’t hear each other. Also, the outdoor speakers didn’t work. Another thing, I thought boogaloo was a creole restaurant that would play creole inspired music. The food was great, I will try it again on a weekend night.

    I’ve been to Boogaloo a few times but many years ago, atmosphere was quiet which was nice. Service was very good. Food was good. I remember getting the Cajun chicken linguini and it was good, so I ordered it again- very good still & had a couple tapas appetizers, which were all very good. brought my cousin and his wife, who had never been before- they really liked the food as well. I would recommend Boogaloo for sure.

    Bartender was top notch. I think her name was Jesse. Our server was very good as well, but unfortunately our food was not served in order or at the same time. The 4th meal we brought to the table after the rest of us were finished. Soup arrived late and was lukewarm. We have dined here before and may give them another chance, but it’s not how we wanted to spend our Saturday evening.

    We loved our visit. The food was very good although the rice and beans was bland. We came at 7, it was very loud and busy, but once the crowd cleared out it was pretty quiet. The bar swings are fun. Would definitely come back for the good food and atmosphere. The curry hummus was an unexpected delicious find.

    Host was friendly. I came with a friend and host sat us right next to another couple. Seating was too close, we felt there was a lack of privacy so asked to sit elsewhere. Staff accommodated us. Asked the server the drink of the month as listed on the menu and he had no idea and took an unreasonable amount of time to find out and extended about of time to bring cocktails to the table. Ordered jerk wings for appetizer and jambalaya for entree. They were very bland …. Needed way more seasoning! Expected way more flavor for Cuban/Caribbean cuisine. Overall not impressed.

    The six of us shared small plates. Our favorites were the BBQ Shrimp, Crab Empanadas, and the Mussels. Cocktails were very good, especially the Old Fashioned and Manhattan. Service was adequate, but a little inattentive at times. All in all, not a bad experience for our first time here.
