4.6 / 5.0(121 reviews)
Friendly group of locals around, owner builds boats for the local school program! Wooden, crafted by hand, beautiful work with what he's got! Incredibly friendly too! Free Wifi, huge selection at the bar, and fine prices (if you expect a discount trip, why are you on a remote Bahama Island) We have certainly had our share of Bahamas plates and the usual... This was definitely a lovely local lunch and fresh and in my opinion about as good as it gets for what I’ve come to expect of the Bahamas overall, particularly in terms of a local immersion. Anyhow you’ll judge for yourself I’m sure, and surely the photos of the cool visual setting and the nurse sharks and rays and turtles who swim around aren’t too hard on the eyes either. Enjoy! If you are here and happen to have a small boat or dinghy just pull up to the dock where your greeted with a smile and have a real Bahamian lunch. Conch wrap was amazing with the dark and stormy.

Great place to hang, get some food and watch the sun go down. Excellent view of the bay and the sunset. The fried grouper fingers were amazing, so good that my friend and I came back the next day to get an order to go. It is pretty cool to watch them flay fresh fish by the dock and feed the nurse sharks and stingrays. I would say a must visit if you make it to Black Point Cay.

Amazing atmosphere! We were so lucky to find veggie burgers here and the the rum punch was the best we tried while we were in the Bahamas! Beautiful location and loved that our boat tour guide called ahead to order for 11 people, they had us set up and ready to eat by the time we arrived. It saved us so much time in the buffet line and then we were back to exploring!
