    My wife Sarah and I spent the first night of our honeymoon in Barbados at Zaccios. We arrived, sat at the bar and requested a "Surprise" for our first drink. Without a doubt this was the most phenomenal cocktail we have ever tasted and we have tried more drinks than your average heavy drinkers lol. A mango/gingerbeer rum cocktail with a hint of orange zest and nutmeg to add to the heavenly aroma. (Footprints in the sand cocktail was also incredibly delicious). Our dinner was quite possibly the best chicken roti we have ever had. To top off our incredible first night in beautiful Barbados, James asked the kitchen to bring out a congratulatory desert for our honeymoon. Thank you Zaccios for making our first night so special 🥰😁

    Edit: we went there for the second time at 4 pm on 7 of march. We weren’t seated. Waiters were impolite. There were many free tables but they asked us to seat at the small table near to the bar. No one came to take the order. Last time there. I’m leaving the previous opinion cause the food was nice. Only one star left. ( I’ve had one of the best fish and chips in my life here. ( had some in UK to :) ). Burgers are also nice. Chicken roti was tasty as well)

    Ok. This is a must eat do if you are staying nearby. We had lunch here. Wish we had found it before our last day. We would have eaten here many more times. Restaurant is right on the beach. Great staff. Chef prepares amazing meals. Fresh tasty. I had my doubts that a roti could be worth $20US, but I was wrong. It was meet filled and the size of a small baby. It could have fed the two of us. We will be back

    Highly recommend the Zac burger! My picture does not do enough justice! My 14 yr old was full and couldn't finish his fries.

    You'll come for the great food and sea view... But you'll come back because of the excellent service and awesome drinks! The hosts are accommodating, the service is attentive, and the food comes out quick even on a busy night. They have a huge selection of cocktails and depending on the evening, you might be lucky enough to have your drink perfectly crafted by Shane, one of Zaccios expert bartenders. Ask for the 'Rum Old Fashioned with Mount Gay XO' and you won't be disappointed. The Delicious 'catch of the day' and the variety of food options will be sure to satisfy anyone in your group. Get a reservation to secure one of the tables on the waters edge. Thanks and see you again soon, Zaccios!

    Great beach side location. The staff were amazing on this visit. Really friendly and attentive. Felt like a long time between ordering and meal arriving then with minimal portions.

    First place we go when we land, best rum punch on the island, shared chicken burger and fries as not terribly hungry but there was stacks of food with amazing coleslaw. Booked back in for Saturday!!

    Exceptional food and experience! After a long day of touring the island we stumbled across Zaccios. Their warm welcoming, refreshing drinks, accommodating staff and spectacular food was the highlight of our day! Our daughters just wanted to cool off in the ocean and they immediately seated us Oceanside where we could keep an eye on them while we sipped our beverages and enjoyed an outstanding Bajan sunset. They were so accommodating, friendly and so helpful in getting us settled and cooled after a long day. The food was outstanding and we would not hesitate to visit them again when we return to the island. Thank you for your hospitality, amazing meal and giving us such a warm welcome! We will definitely dine here again when we return to the island.

    One of the best value restaurants on the west coast of Barbados, Be sure to go 20mins early to have a drink at the bar overlooking the sea it’s beautiful especially at sunset, Large menu with a great choice of Pasta Pizza Chicken and seafood. Really generous portions, not the fanciest decor but it’s clean. Service is good and very friendly, I would definitely recommend to anyone it’s not fine dining but great for a family meal by the sea.

    Such a beautiful location right on the beach. Great service, tasty cocktails and delicious pizza with a thin crispy crust. Suggest reservations to secure your spot for sundown or dinner.

    This was not a good experience. We had a reservation but still had to sit and wait 15 minutes for a table to be prepared. After being seated, we had to wait another 15 minutes before water was served and no one had came to take our order. One person provided water, another came to take the order for the drinks which took about 18 minutes before we could receive them. We saw the drinks on the counter melting then the bartender decided to top up the mudslide with more whip cream and decided to serve us that. The drinks were horrible at that stage. A completely different waiter then came to take our food order. The food came quickly but we thought the serving was for a toddler. Nonetheless, as we proceeded to eat our meal, one would swear we were experiencing symptoms of Covid as it was completely tasteless. We explained to one of the many waiters our concern to which he said he’d get his manager. We never saw him for the rest of the night nor did we see any manager. A completely different waiter came and gave us a piece of paper which turned out to be our bill, we regretfully paid and made our way out! I definitely won’t recommend. Zaccios please do better!!

    Hadn't been here in about 6 years and was pleasantly surprised. Ordered the blackened snapper and sweet potato fries. It came quickly, the fish was cooked and seasoned perfectly and the fries were delicious!

  • 5/5 Stephen T. 1 year ago on Google
    One of my favourite restaurants and bars. The bar staff and waiters are great, food excellent and the ambience and beach position amazing! We had a breakfast here, dinner and 3 happy hour (4pm to 6pm) watching the sunset over the sea. absolutely a must for any holiday. Also very reasonably priced for its location. I really can’t understand how anyone can give this place less than 5 stars!!

    Great place to watch the sunset! The Deck/Bar is fun and they serve a great Rum Punch!

    Ordered your pizzas - just delivered. Not cooked properly. Massively over salted. Looks like raw pitta bread. Definitely NOT a pizza. Topping is miserly. Tried calling you but you’re not answering any of your phones. Your website is inaccurate. You made us buy large - wouldn’t mind if it actually tasted like pizza. Definitely the worst pizza we’ve ever had. Avoid Zaccios. IN RESPONSE to ZACCIOS reply - we made numerous calls to you in an attempt to achieve a solution - you stopped answering your phone. You then challenged us - inferring I lied and demanded that we retrieve the inedible pizza from the trash to prove it was awful. Frankly adding insult to injury. After doing that - your driver refused to take it when he returned with a refund. We will not be dining with you again - it's a shame to see that your previous food standards have dropped so far and your standard of customer service is unacceptable

    Took my friend to lunch for her birthday. Zaccios was her choice. The location is lovely and there was plenty of exciting action on the beach and on the ocean. It was peaceful and picturesque. The welcome was nice too, but the overall experience was awful. It started with the water glasses…. Really? Anyway we ordered. There was wilted arugula in my “Greek” salad and the shrimp was burnt in some areas. My words at the time…”I am not coming back”. I noticed a mixed drink being served and it was already separating, so I didn’t order any for myself. My friend had the catch of the day with basmati rice and seasonal vegetables and a Pina Colada.The food looked good and she said it tasted good. She liked the fact that her blackened fish was not black. There was a long discourse before she ordered her cocktail and she did not order her favorite drink because she didn’t want that messed up. When the drink came it looked strange to me. She taste it and asked me to taste it as well. It “was horrible”; her words…. and I agreed. It was not ours only. Other patrons were returning theirs. Then it was the bill. They charged for a menu item which I ordered but they didn’t have it. Yet, there it was on the bill along with everything else. An hour and a half later my friend had to ask permission to use a rest room in a business place in Bridgetown. Her words. “That food didn’t agree with me.” and “It was awful “ I thought maybe it was the drink. The day was hot, she was thirsty and she drank about half before she couldn’t take it any more. I have never given a negative review before, but I owed it to my friend.

  • 2/5 Mark R. 1 year ago on Google
    Poor service Had to ask three times for a beer Finished the main meal and expected someone to ask would you like to see the dessert menu, sat waiting for over half hour and gave up. It seemed that all they were interested in was clearing the tables out and going home, so We did and the place was nearly empty at 9:30 , shame as it looks a nice place.

  • 5/5 Angeline S. 7 months ago on Google
    Perfection!!! The food was excellent, the drinks were great. The staff was great. They did very well to serve a party of 9. They were even kind enough to take our pictures. The macaroni pie was amazing 😋 best I had the entire trip. Dolphin was DELICIOUS

  • 5/5 Josiah 7 months ago on Google
    This got to be one of the most finest restaurants I've ever tried the food there was so great, the pizza was on point and not to mention the French fries with roasted chicken, the meals tasted so good I couldn't even finish it and took it home with me to Savour each bite. I also liked the ice cream cake it was the first ice cream cake I've tried and it tasted like exactly how I dreamed of it tasting the inner kid inside of me was very happy with the cake 10/10 would dine again 🫶

  • 5/5 Andrea S. 8 months ago on Google
    First visit to Bathsheba location. The food was great and all that was needed was 2 large fans for the heat at lunch time. Such a simple solution to an uncomfortable situation that might prevent a repeat lunchtime visit!! Let us know when they are installed so we know if to recommend and rebook.

  • 5/5 Caroline R. 7 months ago on Google
    The best beach bar- such amazing and friendly staff. Happy hour cocktails are the best- and they do non alcoholic ones for the kids. Incredible location with amazing views too!

  • 4/5 Danielle P. 6 months ago on Google
    Decent food but high prices for small servings. The view can not be beat and the service was good, although a little slow to start with. Coconut shrimp was awesome but I would skip the macaroni pie.

    Delicious food and great service! We are from NYC and decided to taste local burgers. We really enjoyed our food. The burger was so juicy, and the fish sandwich was so crispy. Definitely will be back again to try everything else on the menu 😋

    My husband and I just had dinner at Zaccios. The meals were great as always. But the service was excellent. Siren was brillant in making a no sugar drink which tasted great and Tonya a trainee waitress was very polite and attentive. All the staff were very kind and made sure we had a nice evening. Well done to the staff that looked us this evening. Thank you for your cheerful service,

  • 5/5 J91 4 months ago on Google
    We ate at a table on the deck at sunset which was wonderful, the food was really fantastic. The lady that served us was also wonderful, the men at the bar were less friendly and quite unhelpful. We walked up from the beach but there’s also access from the road, and they have a large tv with sports playing.

    I really wanted to like this place. I was going with two stars but the food was good and the waiter apologetic. There was no parking when we arrived which complicated things but we recognize that is a commodity here in Barbados so parked at Just Grillin and walked over. We were a bit early and so had a drink at the bar which was nice. Shortly thereafter we were sat at a nice table next to water and greeted by what I think was a waiter. He never returned so not sure what happened. We flagged down another person but I guess we weren’t in his area and after several minutes another waiter came. He was very nice and professional and we weren’t in a rush so no big deal. He took another drink order and our food but again he disappeared as well. The food came about 20 minutes later but no drink still. We asked the lady who brought food for the drink and she said she find our waiter. He came back and was very apologetic and went to get our drink. He came back a few minutes later as he couldn’t remember what we ordered. The rest of the meal went well. The waiter tried to make up for it and gave me a drink for free and so I threw in another star (yes I can be bought). Food as I said was good. Overpriced for what it was but such is the case on the beach (5 coconut shrimp and a side salad was $60). In summary. We will go again as we heard it is supposed to be quite good and in hopes it was a fluke. I even threw in an extra 10% tip since it’s hard times with COVID and the waiter tried to make things right.

  • 5/5 Angela F. 3 years ago on Google
    Currently the most important thing is that Zaccios is taking the Covid 19 protocols seriously and so has become one of my bars of choice. Great drinks at an affordable price, good food try the reasonably priced flying fish cutter and friendly and efficient service.

    Was looking forward to the pizza as I usually hear that it's one of the best, but was greatly disappointing in the look and how plain it tasted. Hopefully it was just and off night. The service was great though, servers were very attentive.

    Pretty whack pizza. The dough is cardboard, the toppings are sparse. I'm not usually picky about pizza, but you could get one frozen from the grocery store that might be better. The staff were super nice though.

    Dropped in for a quick dinner before the cinema. Was not so sure when we walked in, but we were very surprised by one the quality of the food and two the excellent service. Great views out to sun, and all our dishes (went with our teenager kids) were great. I had the Baracuda, stunning, kids burger with blue cheese to die for and tuna tacos just lovely. Happy hour includes the soft drinks as well so a bonus. Will return.

  • 1/5 Antonia A. 3 years ago on Google
    The worst pizza I ever had. I’m on my bed suffering and feeling awful together with my partner, both suffering from nausea after the horrible food we’ve just had. How this place prides themselves one offering pizzas and Italian food is an absolute insult. The pizza was smothered in low quality cheese, the mushrooms were from tins, the chips tasted like they weren’t fried in fresh oil, we will not return and we do not recommend. Don’t waste time, money and compromise your health in this place.

    The worst pizza I've ever had in my life from a restaurant. I can't believe the reviews are close to 5 stars.

😠 The doormen and the owner here are very racist, time and time again there’s always a new story making the news. Once is chance, two is coincidence, three is a pattern. With the tourist season ending, I implore Bajans (black and white) to let this place starve during the low season.
