Fodor's Review:

Even if the local specialties—conch in butter sauce, salt fish and dumplings, hearty red bean soup—didn't make this a recommended café, it would be worth coming for Gladys's smile. While you're here, pick up a $5 or $10 bottle of her special hot sauce. There are mustard-, oil and vinegar-, and tomato-based versions; the last is the hottest.

Wife, I, and 1.5 yr old visited for lunch on an uncrowded Thursday. Ordered creole style pan-seared grouper and curry chicken. Somehow, it took our waitress an hour to find out our order got lost. This is a bigger problem with an impatient baby and tainted our visit. When we finally got the food, it was excellent. The surroundings were great, prices were fine. After almost 2 hours in there for lunch, though, we had enough. Seems like a great place, hopefully your order won't get lost.

Gladys' must be a secret to the tourists, but you'll find locals here all the time. There seem to be breakfast regulars who go back just to hear the wait staff sing along to the Sinatra in the background. For lunch, choose a local dish, not something you'd order in the states
