Island Greetings from Oistins Barbados! While fast food often conjures thoughts of greasy and unhealthy options, island living adds a unique twist to the concept. When you’re in Oistins, you might find yourself in need of a quick and satisfying meal, and that’s where the island’s fast food offerings shine. Though our preference is always for fresh fish from the renowned Oistins Friday Night Fish Fry, there are moments when you crave the convenience of fast food. Here are our top two picks for fast food spots in Oistins Barbados:

1. KFC: A Pleasant Surprise

KFC might not be your first choice in Canada, but the experience here in Barbados is quite different. The chicken at KFC Oistins is a revelation, seasoned with a unique and flavorful blend that sets it apart from what you’re used to. It’s not overly salty or drenched in oil—it’s simply delicious. Located conveniently in the heart of Oistins on the main road, this KFC offers a standard menu with chicken combos, sandwiches, nuggets, and kids’ meals. The cozy space might not be ideal for dining in, and service might differ from Canadian standards, but it’s an excellent option for quick, budget-friendly meals.

2. Chefette: The Island’s Fast Food Gem

When it comes to fast food in Barbados, Chefette reigns supreme. With a commitment to high-quality ingredients and a diverse menu, Chefette provides a comprehensive dining experience. What sets Chefette apart is its dedication to healthier options, including using zero trans fat soya oil, ensuring clean surroundings, and offering a variety of flavorful choices. From roti and chicken sandwiches to pizza, burgers, and fries, Chefette has it all. The island-inspired flavors infuse their dishes with a distinct taste. Their chicken is a standout, surpassing even KFC in flavor. Our personal favorites include the chicken combo and roti, loved by adults and kids alike. With competitive pricing (around 9-10 Barbados dollars for a combo), Chefette offers exceptional value.

Convenient Locations and How to Get There

Chefette boasts a total of 15 locations across the island, with one conveniently situated in Oistins—a mere 15-minute walk or 5-minute drive from our condos. To reach the Oistins location from our condos, take a right onto Lower Carters Gap, continue straight until you reach Enterprise Road (Highway 7), make a left, and proceed past the Oistins Police Station and Oistins Post Office. As you enter Oistins, you’ll spot the location on your right after passing the bus sub terminal.

In Conclusion

When the need for fast food strikes, Chefette stands out as the go-to choice, offering delicious island-infused options at an appealing price point. While KFC remains a good secondary option, Chefette’s flavorful offerings truly shine, especially in the chicken department.
