Real Bahamian Food

A quaint Bahamian restaurant owned and operated by multiple generations of local women. The pride they have for their work is recognizable the moment you bite into their delicious food. It's a must for those who want to steer clear of the resorts and touristy...restaurants and want to eat like a Bahamian.More

Bahamian food at a reasonable price

This cute little restaurant sits downtown very close to the cruise port. The people that work there are very nice. It's very small but not crowded like franchise restaurants. We loved the caring people that served us and the local cuisine. I highly recommend this...great place.More

Great seafood lunch spot with casual local vibe.

Really enjoyed our lunch while exploring downtown. Very tender grouper fingers. Unsweetened ice tea was refreshing.

Hidden Gem!

Ms. Wallace has been running this great little restaurant for years. She serves the freshest seafood, and has great rum punches...called "Switch ups"' .

Great Food

We came here as part of our self guided tour of Nassau for our last day in the Bahamas. This was a great experience as we went for lunch and it was not crowded. We were seated right away and ordered the fried grouper fingers,...fried chicken (spouse has a seafood allergy), and a Bahama Mama. The food was fresh and super hot. Would for sure recommend to anyone visiting and wants good food off of the main walkway.More

Food tour first stop

We started here on our Nassau food tour. Had conch fritters, then stewed chicken, rice and beans, cole slaw, baked Mac n cheese, and some plantain slices. All were extremely delicious! Definitely would recommend having a meal here to support a local business owner! She’s...a doll!More

Bahamian Cookin'

We were also on a food tour when our family of three ate here. We started with conch fritters, which were exceptional. Then a typical plate meal (chicken, rice, plantains, mac and cheese) which was also very tasty. As we left, we were given a...cup of switcha (Bahamian lemonade) which was my favorite of all! Would love to return someday.More

This location was well attended during lunch but there was still ample seating. I would call the restaurant to make sure but during the week you should be okay. Weekends may be different. Enjoy! They have awesome food!

Yes, conch salads looks like ceviche. They have lobster salads, steamed fishes, BBQ chicken, mac and cheese, rice and peas. I will post pictures.
