Concierge "It may look like a misplaced paddleboat from the Mississippi—or a tourist trap—but this floating double-decker eatery serves terrific food, and to a mostly local crowd."
Frommer's "The setting for this unusual and very laid-back restaurant is a houseboat built around 1960 that floats at permanent anchor from a pier beside Freeport Road." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Half the fun of eating at The HouseBoat is the location: a floating restaurant that’s permanently moored (and softly rocking) at a pier overlooking the Montego Bay Marine Park." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Unusual location in a refurbished floating houseboat, with tables inside and on the decks."
Rough Guide Star
"Fantastic, unique setting in a converted houseboat moored on Bogue Lagoon."
Frommer's "You can dine in the nautically woody interior or up on one of the two covered decks above for the best views of the fish in the water...the food is international fusion, well prepared, and tasty" Full review

"It’s no small tribute to 3 Dives that its jerk overshadows its reputation for lengthy waits (sometimes over an hour)."
Travel + Leisure "Previously featured on The Amazing Race, the 3 Dives jerk stand is named for the surrounding limestone cliffs, which provide great diving spots as well as stunning views of the sea." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This is an eternally popular place in a tree-filled garden on the cliffs, with a nightly bonfire creating some atmosphere."
Rough Guide Star
"Popular, inexpensive jerk centre in a cliffside garden, with particularly good lobster and a nightly bonfire."
Fodor's "It's best known for its jerk...but it also serves traditional Jamaican dishes like curried goat, brown-stew chicken, curried or steamed conch, and, in season, grilled lobsters." Full review
