To anyone who is leaving a review saying the restaurant is always close, you may not be aware but the owner Felicia pass away about 8 months ago due to cancer. She showed up every day even when people told her to shout down. PLEASE do not leave a bad review. The Bloohol was her dream and now her legacy. My review when I visited.. The food was amazing and the atmosphere was a total vibe. The ox tail was tender and juicy one of the best I’ve ever had 10 out of 10.

Ordered 2 bags through “Too Good To Go” because I wanted to try a new place. The owner Felicia is soooooo sweet! I love her personality. Great customer service 10/10. She even gave me a sample of oxtail which I gave to my mom and she liked it. I received 2 plates of stewed chicken which I gave one to my sister. We both loved it. I had the food out with me for 4hrs before I got home and airfried it to warm it. The chicken was juicy, flavorful, and well seasoned. The rice and peas were delicious as well. I will be back!

I visited the Blōōhol and the food was spectacular. If you’re looking for island Caribbean cuisine drop by the Blōōhol. I had the Stew chicken meal with potato salad and rice. The portion was large and fulfilling.This was my first time having Belizian food and everything was on point. The vibe was definitely fitting for the atmosphere. Don’t miss out! When you’re on the west side drop in and get you some you won’t be disappointed.

First of the food mi the come! The food mi good. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming and the service was real good. Definitely will be back. My only recommendation would be to paint the outside black to add to the sleek look it has inside!

The owner/chef Roderick is both talented and very kind! If you have never had Belizian potato salad, you are in for a treat! The food tastes incredibly fresh, flavorful and homemade. You can taste the love. 10/10

Jerk Chicken was very flavorful and tender. Rice and beans cooked well and tasty. Very friendly and easy pickup. Will have to try again!
