  • 1. Crackpot Kitchen

    $$$

    This casual local hot spot is one of the only restaurants in Grace Bay that serves authentic and traditional Turks and Caicos cuisine (beyond the standard cracked conch or conch salad). From braised oxtail with butter beans to hash shark, you'll find items on this menu that you won't find elsewhere, all infused with life and love from Chef Nik. If you're looking for something a little more familiar, try the grilled lamb racks, or the tamarind-glazed rack of ribs. Saturday morning brunch is real island style—with steamed, stewed, or pan-fried snapper, pork or chicken souse, and fire engine—that's corned beef hash with steamy hot grits.

  • 2. Da Conch Shack

    $$

    An institution on Provo for years, this brightly colored beach shack with live music is justly famous for its seafood and the island's freshest conch, which is fished fresh out of the shallows and broiled, spiced, cracked, or fried to absolute perfection. They also have Johnny fries, a local tradition of French fries with a black-bean-and-local-pepper sauce. Other options include a few chicken dishes, as well as shrimp, tacos, and lobster when in season. Bands play Wednesdays evenings and a DJ on Friday nights. There's a lively Sunday Funday on the beach starting just after noon.

    Known For

    • Fresh-as-it-gets conch
    • Day and night parties
    • Toes-in-the-sand dining
  • 3. Miss B's

    $$

    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.

  • 4. Mudjin Bar and Grill

    $$$$

    The view alone from the outside deck overlooking the dramatically stunning Mudjin Harbour makes a meal here worthwhile. Standouts for lunch are the jerk burger, and—of course—the conch fritters with balsamic reduction and roasted garlic aioli. For dinner, try the chipotle Southern fried chicken or the ceviche with pico de gallo. Prices are less than you would pay in Provo, though the quality of the food is just as good as that in some of the more upscale and expensive restaurants there. Walk-ins are fine for lunch, but reservations for dinner are essential.

    $$$

    Fondly thought of as the gathering spot, this bistro with a full bar and occasional live music is a block from the dock and overlooking the salina. It offers simple but good breakfast, lunch, and dinner fare that changes depending on what's available. Theme nights (tacos on Tuesday, ribs on Sunday) are popular with visitors and locals, making this a great hangout for all. Reservations for dinner are essential and must be made by 2 pm. The kitchen closes at 8 pm.

  • 6. Omar's Beach Hut

    $$$

    The fish at this beachside bar and restaurant is as fresh as it gets—they’re located immediately next to the dock so they grab the best that's brought in from the sea each afternoon. The owner, Omar, is Jamaican-born and Turks and Caicos–raised, and the menu pays homage to both cultures with excellent conch salad as well as some of the best authentic jerk chicken and pork around. Grab a drink and lounge in the shallow ocean just steps away. Omar's also offers a combo lunch and water-sports package with Five Cays Watersports.

  • 7. Sand Bar

    $$

    Run by two Canadian sisters, this popular beachside bar is very good value and the perfect spot to enjoy island time—no shoes or shirt required. The menu includes fresh-caught fish, lobster, and conch, as well as typical North American fare—burgers, quesadillas, and chicken and ribs—served island-style with peas and rice. On Friday, they pull out the barbecue and throw on whatever they were able to get from the store or the dock. The covered wooden deck juts out over the beach offering shade during the day; it's also a great place to enjoy a casual dinner while watching the sunset. The atmosphere is relaxed and the service friendly, and locals often meet here to socialize. If you’re just over for a day, be sure to arrive before 2:30, as service stops for a couple of hours midday to gear up for the evening crowd. If you're staying the night, drop by for some late-evening conversation.

  • 8. Sunset Cafe Bar & Grill

    $$

    Most folks refer to this spot as "Darryl's" after the outgoing owner, who is also the head chef. This casual restaurant features a menu of the day that usually boasts conch and fish that's as fresh as it gets. He's right across from the dock, so your food travels right from the sea to your plate. Darryl sticks to traditional island cuisine, with the exception of a burger and fries and some pizzas. It's simple, good ol' down-home cookin'. Come in time for the sunset. If you walked down, Darryl and his team will likely give you a ride back to your hotel or home whenever you're ready.

  • 9. Aquatic Restaurant & Grill

    $$

    Known for friendly service that perfectly compliments the delicious food, Aquatic is a good choice for a bite to eat. Fresh fish fried, steamed, or grilled and burgers and cracked conch are always on the menu. They also offer daily specials depending on what they were able to pick up from the store. It's one of the few spots to grab a hearty breakfast as well. Try the tuna with grits, a local specialty.

  • 10. Asia's Takeout

    $

    Lillian Clare cooks up some incredible local delicacies in the kitchen of her small coral-colored home. As with most places, there's no sign, so just ask around. The menu changes based on what's available, and when the pot's empty the kitchen is closed, so it's always best to get there early or call ahead to put in your order. She takes advantage of local flora and fauna—sometimes there's pearbush bud and rice with dried conch and sometimes you'll get to try hog bush "cabbage" soup. It's takeout only.

    649-247–3483

    Known For

    • Local cuisine
    • Great value

  • 11. Barbie's Restaurant

    $

    This takeout joint doesn't look like much, but it's a good place to get some local food, as evidenced by the locals who gather here. In addition to conch fritters (the best in town, they say), they also serve real island food like oxtail and cracked conch. There are picnic benches out front.

    Front St., Cockburn Town, Grand Turk, Turks and Caicos Islands
    649-946–2981

    Known For

    • Real local food
    • Perfectly spiced jerk chicken
    • The island's best conch fritters
  • 12. 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.

  • 13. Birdcage Bar and Restaurant

    $$$

    This restaurant is a little more upscale than most of the other dining spots on the island, with a lovely view of the ocean and tablecloths in the evening. It's become the place to be on Saturday nights, when a sizzling menu of barbecue ribs, chicken, and lobster (in season) combines with live music. The rest of the week offers a menu that changes frequently and a full bar with specialty drinks. Arrive early to secure waterfront tables, but note that a table around the Osprey's pool is also lovely. Simple island weddings are also a possibility here.

    $$

    Conch & Coconuts is a great little restaurant located in the newly built Grace Bay Market. Everything on the dining menu has something to do with either conch, coconuts, or both! There's also a great island-inspired drinks menu—try out a Middle Caicos Mosquito or a Grand Turk Donkey Juice to let loose.

    $$

    Located at South Caicos Ocean and Beach Resort, the grill is the only restaurant that operates oceanside. Here you can find a diverse menu that includes burgers, chicken, and freshly caught fish, as well as some exquisite lobster dishes (when in season). At night this turns into a gathering place for visitors and locals alike; it can be quite lively. On the flip side, it's also one of the few spots to get a decent breakfast any day of the week.

    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.
