Reviews for Caribbean Restaurant (Now Tequila Butcher at the Caribbean) in Excelsior, MN

I always enjoy the atmosphere, service and the food, but the last time I went, one of the chairs was broken and my pants got... ripped. I made the staff aware and no one seemed to care. They did let me know that the chair was supposed to be thrown outbefore? which did not make me feel any better? ok so you KNEW it was broken? And now not only am I paying $100+ for food anddrinks for three people, served with plastic ware, but now I also have to foot the bill to replace my favorite pants that gotripped on THEIR faulty equipment that they were AWARE of. Im pretty disappointed, as someone that has worked in the serviceindustry my whole life. I want to want to go back, but I don?t know if I can give them my business going forward after this.

It was just average food. The El Diablo Chicken sandwich was dry and the bun crumbled. Nothing special about it. Barely any blue... cheese on it. I dis like the Texas Twinkies though. Beer and a bump for $5 is a bargain on the lake. Read more

Great food! Bad service. The $6 tacos were delicious but overpriced. Wait staff young and lacking in any service knowledge. Slow... and forgot drinks and requests for a side of sauce. You get no plates and plastic utensils you must unwrap. $14 Caesar salad wastiny with fast food dressing to peel open, served in to-go plastic clamshell. No napkins. But... the view is ???? awesome, andthe restaurant is super cute. The sunny, hot day we were there, the promotional table umbrellas had blown away earlier, and wewere told we weren't allowed to open them. So we sweat while we ate. Read more

Y'all, you have got it try this place out! Overwhelmed by the drink selection for margaritas, the chips and queso (to die for),... and the tacos are street style and they come one by one and you order as many as you like but everything was amazing and nodisappointments ????????????????????????!!! I wanted to be near the water this summer or I could just sit and eat and enjoy theviews the warm sun maybe even makes new friends. So I reached out on the neighborhood app and ask those around me where is agood place to go and everybody loves. The outpouring response that I got was beautiful and amazing and I've tried this one aswell as another one area and they both provide a unique experience all its own. But considering this place was the one placeeverybody talked about the most because of the margaritas and the tacos but mainly The margaritas LOL!!! Now by no means I'mnot going to tell you that this is Taco Bell or anything like this cuz it's good quality food good quality drinks and I haven'teven told you about the view yet so go to spend a little money on yourself because it's definitely well worth it! So thelocation yes it is on the lake to the point where if you're on a boat you can even pull right on up with your boat and park comein have a little something to eat a little drink and then head on out! I'm not sure but the seasonal hours are becauseeverything is outside and there's no indoor seating at all. So I would definitely say go by yourself and go with some buddies ormaybe even on a date night, but it definitely is worth it and if you beg to differ then there's something wrong with you haha!Because it's it by the water to enjoy the sunshine in the tranquility that is around I feel like you just can't let anything getyou down. So go see my girl Kate she is a drop dead gorgeous young lady, men I do not know if she is single I did not ask thatI guess she was just have to go and ask for her and be nice tip generously they work hard but be nice cu Read more

I had high hopes for an improved dining experience now that the Tequila Butcher has ownership. Unfortunately, the only thing The... Caribbean has going for it is the lovely lake side setting. The young staff is very friendly but not trained. Food is extremelysub par - lacking in flavor and quality. Portions are tiny for the price. Example - one jalapeño popper is $5! Tacos barelyhave any filing for $6 each. You can skip a visit to The Caribbean. Read more

Place looks great...had a nice dinner there last nite. Wait staff a little, perhaps, untrained - had to ask for napkins! ... Burger was great! Red wine too warm. You should definitely chill that. THX Read more

This is the first time we?ve been back here since they reopened. The docks have been totally redone and look great. The server... was very nice and informative about the menu. However, I can not recommend the Texan brisket sandwich. The brisket was cut inlarge cubes. It was tough and fatty. The sausage was good though. My three stars is on the brisket, not the server who wasgreat. Read more

A relaxed and picturesque environment with relaxed service. The staff were friendly but from observing, everything moved at a... slow pace. We arrived in the middle of the rush (approximately 7:15 on a Friday night) so once we sat down we saw the hostessturning customers away since the wait would be so long. The prices seem inflated, and they are, but the portions are generousand reflect the quality of a casual bar atmosphere. If you've got no where to be, this is a nice place to relax and enjoy withfriends. If you plan on drinking I would take advantage of their "Set-up" deal which allows you to bring your own liquor and usetheir mixers for under $4. A great place to sit, but not a great restaurant.
