Customers rave about the generous portion sizes and the value for money at Blue Marlin. The jerk chicken served with fragrant rice and peas garners particular praise for its authentic taste and tenderness, falling right off the bone. The attentive service from the friendly staff is another highlight, as they consistently greet patrons with warmth, leaving a lasting impression.

Most Disliked
Some diners note that during peak hours, the service can slow down, especially on busy evenings like Fridays around 1 PM. However, this is often compensated by the quality of interactions and the food. Certain customers express a preference for a slightly more extensive seating arrangement, particularly during busy times, as it can feel crowded. Although many appreciate the atmosphere, the noise level can rise when the restaurant is full, detracting a bit from the dining experience for some guests. While complaints are few, they do reflect the bustling community vibe that contributes to the restaurant's charm.

Customers constantly coming and going so the service was a tad slow but they more than made up for it in the way staff interacted and in the quality of the food. The meals we got were delicious, I’m not surprised they were so busy. Good value for money and huge portions. Flavours are great, you can tell the staff are attentive when it comes to the food. Every meat item we ordered was fall off the bone tender and the pepper prawns were fantastic.

5* Excellent Caribbean Food in Brum. This is my second time trying Blue Marlin in Perry Barr and they have set the standard for quality Caribbean food on the go! The customer service over the phone and in person is professional and friendly and the food is delicious and full of flavour. I can count on them to be open when they say they are and have a good variety of dishes to choose from. Today I had the oxtail and stew dinner with extra oxtail sauce and a side of plantains. Highly recommend! Keep up the good work! #blackexcellence #supportblackbusinesses
