8 Best Restaurants in Turks and Caicos Islands

Miss B's

$$ Fodor's choice

Miss B is cook, the bartender, the hostess, and even leads karaoke sessions when there's a crowd, yet she still makes the time to chat with every guest. The menu is simple, but the food is good and includes fresh fish and conch, juicy burgers, and jerk chicken. There's indoor and outdoor seating, and strong Wi-Fi. Dinner is available during the high season by reservation, and Miss B will deliver to just about any part of North or Middle Caicos. The $5 drinks and snacks are a bargain in these parts.

Barracuda Beach Bar

$$

Though it's just a shack on the beach with a view, this is the epitome of what a Caribbean beach bar should be. Your feet are in the sand, and your table is an old wooden cable spool. Although the food is casual—hamburgers and conch—the views are outstanding and the company is even better. Hang out with the owners at sunset for stories of the way North Caicos used to be. You'll be in great company.

Frank's Cafe

$$

There's a wooden sign on the roadside, but none on the restaurant—just look for the bright orange house at the top of the steep, rocky driveway. It's the only spot in Bottle Creek for traditional home-cooked island food, including fish fingers, conch prepared every which way, and a few non-seafood dishes, too. They're open Monday through Friday, but you can call ahead to see if they can accommodate you on a Saturday.

Last Chance Bar and Grill

Overlooking the serene waters of Bottle Creek, this little spot makes a great stop for day-trippers going to or from Middle Caicos, as well as for those enjoying the beauty of North Caicos for a day or longer. In addition to making smaller items such as conch fritters and burgers, owner Howard Gibbs provides full meals of fresh-caught grouper and local lobster at reasonable prices. Call ahead to find out what's being served that day. It's tiny—just five tables. Housed in an old stone-constructed home, you'll find true island ambience indoors or on the restaurant's large wooden terrace that offers spectacular views.
