"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."

"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."

"Looks can be deceiving, especially when it comes to this driftwood shack teetering on a seaside bluff one mile west of Port Antonio."
DK Eyewitness
"Offering an extremely unusual dining option, this restaurant is set in a private home on a cliffside and a short drive from Port Antonio."

"Easily missed as it’s nestled on a knoll as you round the far bend of Port Antonio’s West Harbour, this simple wooden shack is a surprising and fabulous choice."
Frommer's
"Dickie Butler’s ramshackle little cottage with a decidedly eclectic homespun decor clings to the edge of a cliff—a bit out of the way, yes, but certainly no secret after 30 years"

"Almost too well kept a secret for its own good, Dickie’s... offers enormous five-course meals in rooms that look as if they were decorated by Bob Marley."
