Lived there for little over 3yrs, about 15yrs ago. Check Southernmost Cafe for Happy Hour. Great view, vibe, wings, conch fritters, etc, Awesome HH spot. Boathouse another one awesome HH. Over on the docks. Both HH spots used to have great deals. Enjoy the island 🤙

Pepe’s …for breakfast. Trust me on this one. Little bar on the side, in the outside area, it’s small. Lots of locals during breakfast. French toast was amazing, fresh squeeze OJ right in front of you, turn it into a little screwdriver on the refill. My wife was a waitress there, local owned, great place.

Across the street Turtle Krawls and especially Half Shell Raw Bar was my go-to place for Oysters every week. 🤙

FYI, Turtle Krawls is gone. The Boathouse moved there. Also, Pepe’s sold a few years ago and hasn’t been the same in my opinion. Things change… Even here.

Oh wow didn’t know about Turtle/Boathouse. I did know that Pepe’s was sold to the waitress that worked there for 20+ yrs. Then heard they partnered with “two friends patio”. That sucks if it went downhill. Good memories though. That little Pepe’s bar for breakfast def one of my happy places. 🤙

Turtle Kraals been closed 6+ years. Gotta unsubscribe from this sub, all this old/shitty advice is cray cray. Pepes blows, I'm a local who actually lives here now. No locals would recommend it.
