ABACOS RESTAURANTS Green Turtle Cay NIPPERS BAR AND GRILL True, Nippers is technically a bar. But their world-famous "Pig Roast" on Sundays, starting at noon, is something that should not be missed if going anywhere in the Abacos. Revelry, debauchery, drinking with indicted congressman, it has it all. It is on Green Turtle Cay, and don't be late. The rest of the week, they have excellent bar and seafood. The picture above shows white people gettin da good foot on Sunday afternoon. Who said white people cannot dance? For more info, go HERE to go to their website.....

Marsh Harbour ANGLER'S RESTAURANT Location In the Abaco Beach Resort & Boat Harbour, Marsh Harbour; At the Boat Harbour, overlooking the Sea of Abaco, this is the main restaurant of the town's major resort. The interior features a nautical theme and Bahamian decor. Within a few steps of your seat, dock pilings rise from the water, yachts and fishing boats come and go, and the place is open and airy. The menu changes daily, but fresh seafood, which the chef prepares with finesse, is always featured, along with a well-chosen selection of meat and poultry dishes. Begin with crab cakes served with a Caribbean salsa and garnished with Mesculan greens, or perhaps the sesame seed-encrusted tuna steak, accompanied with sweet soy sauce. Main dishes dance with flavor, notably the island cracked conch marinated in a coconut-lime sauce; grilled baby lamb chops seasoned with Herbes de Provence; and freshly caught grouper seared and basted in a lemon-and-caper sauce. Go HERE for more info........ MANGOES RESTAURANT Near the harbor in one of the town's most distinctive buildings, Mangoes is the best, and certainly the most popular, restaurant on the island, attracting both yachties and locals. It boasts a cedar-topped bar and a cathedral ceiling that soars above a deck jutting out over the water. Somehow the chefs seem to try a little harder here, offering a typical menu adding a hint of island spirit. Our faithful friend, grilled grouper, is dressed up a bit with mango and tomatoes, and cracked conch makes an appearance as well. Your best bet, as in nearly all Bahamian restaurants, is usually the fresh catch of the day and Mangoes is no exception. At lunch you can sample their locally famous "conch burger." Go HERE for more info........ SAPODILLY'S BAR AND GRILL This restaurant occupies an open-air pavilion across the road from the harborfront, in an area of town known as "the tourist strip." Even if you eventually head into the high-raftered interior dining room, take time out for a drink or two on the covered open-air deck, surrounded by vibrant Junkanoo colors and a crowd of local hipsters, yacht owners, marina workers, and businessmen visiting from other parts of The Bahamas. Lunch might consist of grilled fish sandwiches, burgers, salads, and quiche. Dinners are more elaborate, with 12-ounce New York strip steak, a flavor-filled shrimp kabob in teriyaki sauce, and zesty curried filets of grouper. There's a happy hour with live music every Friday from 5:30 to 7:30pm. Go HERE for more info...... Hopetown and Elbow Cay CAP'N JACKS Depending on when you come, you may find turtle burgers or crawfish on the menu at this casual alfresco dining spot at the edge of the harbor. Any time of year, the grouper and conch are well prepared and the freshest food on the menu. Landlubbers gravitate toward the more routine fried chicken and burgers. The Key lime and chocolate silk pies are justifiably popular dessert choices. Try Cap'n Jacks' version of the omnipresent Goombay Smash. Come on Wednesday or Friday for live local music in the evening between 8 and 11pm. ABACO INN Flavor-filled food is served in a breezy, almost elegant waterfront setting. The chef prepares lunch dishes such as conch chowder, pasta primavera, and salads with delectable homemade dressings featuring tarragon and other herbs. The dinner menu changes frequently but usually offers seafood, vegetarian, and meat dishes, each expertly seasoned and well prepared. Typical meals are likely to begin with seafood bisque or vichyssoise, followed by coconut grouper (a house specialty), spinach fettuccine Alfredo, roasted lamb with herbs and mint sauce, or, our favorite, broiled red snapper with a light salsa. The crème brûlée and Key lime, coconut, and chocolate silk pies are delectable. The inn will send a minivan to pick you up from other parts of the island if you phone in advance.
