Bishop's Restaurant

Frommer's Review

This eatery, known mainly to East End locals, is patronized for its real down-home cooking. Just over 50km (31 miles) east of Lucaya, the restaurant opens onto views of the sea. Far from the high-rise hotels, and set within a small residential community that's utterly devoid of casino-inspired glitz, this little restaurant and lounge look the way they did in The Bahamas of the 1920s and 1930s. Some of the best cracked conch we've sampled on Grand Bahama Island is served here, rolled in a light batter and fried in piping hot oil so that its crust is slightly crunchy. Another favorite, always on the menu, is fried grouper with classic peas 'n' rice. Or, for a savory dish, order the chicken barbecued in zesty sauce. Frankly, don't set out on a trek to the East End with this place envisioned as your final destination without making a phone call in advance, since opening hours have been erratic since the hurricanes of 2005.
