In-Depth Information
Hercules Pate
is a lunch stand near the car ferry dock. He
is best known for his pates, the Caribbean word for
empañadas, which are pastries filled with shredded beef,
chicken and pork. All have vegetables as well. Long lines
form at lunchtime. Hercules is open from 6 am to 1 pm, ex-
cept Sun. No credit cards.
Cap's Place
is nearby in a ramshackle building near the
Post Office. Very crowded at lunch time when local workmen
pick up fried fish and cold sodas to eat on nearby benches.
It's rather like buying a hot dog from a push cart. No credit
cards.
Joe's Diner
is not a diner but a fast-food spot specializing in
burgers, salt fish cakes, hot dogs and fried chicken. There's
soft ice cream as well. Good place for breakfast. There are a
few tables. Joe's is on King Street. No credit cards.
Uncle Joe's BBQ
, located opposite the Post Office in Cruz
Bay, is standing-room-only at lunch (or early dinner) since
the juicy ribs, open-pit barbecued chicken and steaks are de-
licious. The house-made barbecue sauce, corn-on-the-cob,
rice and coleslaw all add to the treat. A few rickety tables are
available, but take-out is king. Head to the nearby park
benches. Inexpensive. No credit cards.
