We tried Dawn's on the recommendation of another couple. We kept going back. The prices are extremely reasonable, the quality and selection are amazing, and Dawn is a treasure! If you have a special need, she will do everything she can to accommodate you, and she remembers her customers. It is a small, 25 seat, open air restaurant on the... More

We happened upon Dawn's while riding our bikes around Placencia. We were starving & dying of thirst when I saw her sign & remembered reading good things on trip advisor. Wow! It was the best find EVER! First thing we did was order some ice cold beers. And I mean ICE cold! You cannot get any colder than these were!... More

Dawn's was a favorite for us while we were in Placencia. Dawn comes from a prominent family in the community. Her daughter runs the local paper. She comes to the table and talks to you about anything you want to know. The menu is interesting and the food is amazing...including desserts. It was the opening to conch season while we... More

The service is also superb and Dawn always come out of... More

We ate at Dawn's Grill N Go several times during our visit in March/April. Dawn was very gracious and visited with us as well as other customers. Every meal we had there was excellent in flavor and presentation.

This is the kind of local restaurant one's always hoping to find. Of course Placencia is full of tourists and there won't be many locals who can afford to eat here, but Dawn serves up good quality local food and even more importantly really cares that you enjoy it. It's not very glamorous, don't expect a wine waiter, but do... More

Had tasty shrimp curry with sides. Really excellent food with attentive prompt service. Setting not the best on town main road, but Dawn really tries to please and she does!

Dawn's is one of our favorite restaurants in the whole country. This lady has more culinary talent than most chef's in the U.S. If not for the sake of experiencing other places, we would eat every meal with Dawn, while in Placencia. Her seafood is incredible. Ask for the "spicey curry" seafood - better experience this lady's fine food before... More

Came here one night and not feeling too hungry. Ended up having a fabulous chicken dinner with salad. Absolutely loved the atmosphere and friendly staff. Definitely go back!

Can't go wrong - food is outstanding and delightfully seasoned, prices so reasonable is a bonus! Specials tonight were grilled snapper fillets (me) and pork chops (husband), both terrific! Ms. Dawn's cooking has made this into a regular stop for us!
