  • 1. Abaco Inn Restaurant

    $$$$ | Hope Town

    Set in the country-club-style main lodge splashed with lively Bahamian colors and boasting floor-to-ceiling windows that provide an incredible view of the ocean, the restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner to guests and visitors in classic island style. Fresh-baked bread, fruit, and lobster or Mexican-style Benedict are breakfast highlights. At lunch, sample the sesame seared tuna or the cheeseburger wrap. For dinner, grilled grouper can be prepared to your liking, but their piccata is a favorite. There's also crawfish in season—blackened, grilled, fried, or coconut-fried—as well as escargot.

  • 6. Nippers Beach Bar & Grill

    $$

    With awesome ocean views and a snorkeling reef just 10 yards off its perfect beach, this cool bar and restaurant is a must-visit hangout. Linger over a lunch of burgers and sandwiches or a dinner of steak and lobster, then chill out in the pool. Nurse a cup of Nipper Juice —a deceptively delicious concoction. If you down more than one or two of these, you'll be happy to take advantage of the Nippermobile, which provides free transport to and from the cay's public dock.

    Be prepared to get wet to order your meal or drink from this floating food truck—it's anchored in waist-deep water off Tahiti Beach at the end of Elbow Cay.

If it is, they'll be there daily from noon until five.

    Perch on a bar stool on the new deck and enjoy the comings and goings of Guana Cay's harbor and main road. While they boast the "conchiest" conch fritters around, their grilled conch is worth a trip there.

  • 13. Mackey's Takeout

    $$

    Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are simple Bahamian and American fare similar to what's on offer at other spots on the island. And while the delicious Bahamian food menu is worth a stop, it's the ice cream that draws the crowd to this whimsical little takeout restaurant in the middle of the island. There's even a coffee bar for that caffeine fix, served up iced or piping hot. There are a few chairs and tables on the outdoor porch, but most folks carry their food with them.

    If you're looking for a simple but tasty lunch at a great price, check out this octagonal wooden takeout-only restaurant on the western end of Bay Street. The burgers are hand-formed and served up on homemade buns—the spicy bacon cheeseburger is a local favorite. Grab a box of their fried chicken if you're headed out in the boat for a day of exploring, and on a hot day, their homemade ice cream in an array of tropical flavors including coconut, guava, pineapple, and mango is delicious and refreshing. The only seating is on a handful of park benches nearby.

    A small hut bar overlooking the ocean and a brightly colored food truck serve simple but delicious small bites—conch fritters, fresh-catch ceviche, and fish tacos hit the spot. In true Bahamian style, the bar is open more frequently than the food truck, so be sure to check the schedule before driving all the way out for a bite. The original spot got completely wiped away by Hurricane Dorian in 2019, but they're slowly coming back.
