Being a Texan who's been away from home for a while I appreciate good BBQ and cold beer. Driftwood has both of these items (as well as a Texas flag) in abundance. Their prices are reasonable and the portions are huge! The owners and staff are a great (albeit a little weird) bunch of people and you're guaranteed to have... More

Jerry and I loved the staff at the Driftwood. They were very kind, knowledgeable, fun, and just plain awesome. My favorite dish is their Seafood Soup - absolutely best on the island. Jerry had their grilled fish with garlic and loved it. Linda, the bartender, and Bruce, the owner, are just wonderful. Great place to hang out on their patio... More

If your ok with spending a little more than the average joint, Driftwood will deliver with delicious platters. Argued as the best burger on the island, try it with blue cheese and you'll be back!

Great BBQ. If you like banana flavored candy, order a banana soda. Sit out on the deck and watch life go by with a drink in your hand.

We had lunch at the Driftwood and it was delicious. We were very hot and thirsty from our walk through Utila town in the middle of the day. The Driftwood had cold , cold beer and a beautiful ocean breeze. It was our last day of vacation, and after a week of delicious seafood, the bleu cheese USDA Beef cheese... More

Driftwood Cafe has the best food on Utila, hands down, and the prices are fabulous for the quality of preparation. Like so many eateries on the island, it's very unassuming from the road and only has a small sign. The menu is a whiteboard on the wall and the fish soup is much admired. I haven't yet tried that, but... More

Been going to Driftwood since 2007. Best fish sandwich on Utila. Still best fish sandwich on Utila. Will go back several more times this trip to try to order different things other than the fish sandwich.

Driftwood is my favourite lazy-sunday-lunch place in Utila. The food is great, the owners and the staff are super friendly and you can enjoy a beautiful view of the bay and have a swim. It might seem a little pricey when you compare to other places in the island but not when you compare the quality. I love it!

Spent two weeks in Utila last month - by far my favorite place to eat and drink and we hit most of the better-known spots on the island. Dinner at Driftwood is great - huge pork chops, great chicken, ridiculously good kebabs - fun atmosphere. I preferred having drinks on the dock during the day while enjoying the fish/chips.

I came here because it was one of the best-reviewed restaurants in town... I'm not really sure what all the fuss is about. The food, service, and atmosphere were all average, not great; I wouldn't go back unless I happened to be close by that end of town again.
