We stayed at the Westin and someone gave us a tip to try Billy Joe's - what a great tip! We had lunch twice and loved it. You've got to try the conch salad. We also had the conch burger (ok) and conch fritters (great). It looks like a shack but it's right on the beach and the food is... more

Ate there twice on our stay. Billy Joe himself was there both days. We had a great time. The setting is beautiful, and the food is very good. One of the best pina coladas (virgin) on the island. Located right next to the Sheraton, but if you are staying at the Westin like we were, It is a nice 5-10... more

Great people, great view, good prices for Freeport! Get the conch salad and a beer and kick back. As for the fellow who ordered a hamburger at BJ's and was disappointed...a hamburger at a conch shack, what did you expect? more

A group of 14 of us went to "hang loose" with Billy Joe and we had such a great time! This is an authentic beachside place where the locals go. We really enjoyed just hanging out and relaxing and grooving to the island sounds of Big John. I had the Grouper and was not impressed, however, everybody else who had... more

We ate at Billy Joe's for lunch one day and the food was just average we both had hambugers that tasted way to smokey. However others were ordering the fried grouper and it looked good. Billy Joe was a very friendly guy to talked to and cooked all his own food. more

Billy Joe's is a nice place to have lunch for guests staying at the Sheraton. It is just a short walk from the pool area; the conch they serve is available in wide variety of styles. Eating at Billy Joes's gives you have the feeling that you aren't just eating at a franchise restaurant like you would find in cites... more

Been to Lucaya many times and always trying to find a place to eat that is worth a darn. The buffet at Willie Broadleafs is great...when its open...but expensive. The places accross the street at the marketplace are average to poor. We found Billy Joe's last trip. Great food, great atmosphere, and feels like the islands..;.not Red Lobster food! The... more

Wandered over to Billy Joe's on the edge of the Sheraton and never looked back. Got a conch burger and Kalik while watching a thunderstorm outdoors. Very casual, met Billy Joe, his daughter took my order. He's been there 35 years, so they're doing something right. Food was great, everyone who worked there treated you like a friend. Fellow who... more
