Nice vegeterian food and homemade juice! I always ask for a plate with "a little bit of all", usually could be stew vegetable (peas and/or pumpkin, dumplin, ...), veggie chunk with curry, stirred vegetable and rice (and peas, or pumpkin, or...).
And the last juice I had was betroots, ginger and sorrel. Could be passion fruit/sorrel, soursap, sorrel/ginger, ... They have too some local wine (sorrel, pimiento, ...) coming from Mandeville.
It's generous served, no artificial seasonning and Delroy and his team is just attentive and welcoming! And you can take away also...
Ok, you guessed, I'm convinced!
Next time I try to post some pictures of my plate, promised.
Sounds delicious! I will have to check it out.
where is it located?
The women in our circle aren't too crazy about the name MANPOWER Health Food Store & Vegetarian Restaurant, but while passing through Falmouth (Jamaica's best preserved Georgian town), on our round-abouts to get here, there's a "basic", rootsy, medicinal quality to this place, which seems to be an instinctive "model" for others:

to vegan: sorry to forget this crucial info!
Gee wiz is on the Laza Plaza (the Plaza just after the Treasure Beach complex coming from King Fisher Plaza, going direction Sandy Bank school on your right hand side). You can not mis it : name of the restaurant + vegeterian + big sign "now open" on it.
Price around 400-500 J$ for a plate. Delroy cook also fish if you want...
Would Gee Wiz (not to be mistaken for any relation to the cheez whiz dips for today's Super Bowl) be located in the same shop as Oliver's Dutch Pot Restaurant, which rose to such acclaim not so long ago.
What is the OFFICIAL word on what happened to the lad, Oliver, his cuisine & the closing of a special food joint?

Gee Wiz !! how original, I grew up in TB and all we had to eat was food that by father planted or the fish he caught. We were vegetarians and didn't even know it.
Is that the old Oliver's?
Gee Wiz is located where Oliver's Dutch Pot used to be.
Sadly, Oliver passed away.
I've enjoyed live food and great vibes at Gee Wiz. I'd go back with my guests anytime.
