"Fry Jack's are delicious.
The place is tiny, tho. Maybe 20 people can dine in at a time
Thankfully, we arrived early enough for our large party to find a place to sit"

"Very small walk-in restaurant. Fry Jacks are deep fried bread that can be eaten plain, with toppings or stuffed with goodies! A local staple very popular with tourists and locals alike! My favorite Jack was covered with creamy chocolate then sliced bananas! It’s not the kind of food you want to eat daily. I recommend everyone should try one for a taste of local Belizean cuisine!"

"I ordered the sausage fry jack but they got my order wrong and gave me an egg fry jack. I didn't want to make a fuss so I just ate it. No big deal. It was good but I'd say the dough is on the salty side so I wouldn't return. I had fry jacks at another restaurant and they were not salty at all, it was like fried dough that was crispy, perfectly done and no hint of saltiness. It's cash only and has limited seating. The staff was nice but probably won't be returning."
