Grand Turk, Caribbean Food Guide: 10 Caribbean food Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Cockburn Town

March 14, 2020 Florencio Paulino

Reviews on Caribbean food in Cockburn Town, Grand Turk, Caribbean. Situated on the 6-mile long Grand Turk Island, Cockburn Town is an intimate Caribbean paradise easily discovered on foot. The major streets of Duke and Front host landmarks, restaurants and the National Museum of Turks & Caicos Islands, which houses the oldest shipwreck in the western hemisphere, the Molasses Reef Wreck. After exploring the town, head to the miles of sugary beaches and go diving, snorkeling or sailing across the turquoise water.

Jack's Shack

Enjoy the local flavor from our grille and tiki hut bar while relaxing on our deck overlooking the crystal blue sea and sandy beach. We are only open on cruise ship days except for special occasions (Call or email us.)

This is literally a shack on the beach at Grand Turk. We had lunch there - a group of 15 of us. We sat at picnic tables outside. Th service was so-so but the Jerk Chicken was delicious. They sell souvenirs and bottles of their sauce, so we took a bottle home. Can’t wait to try it.

Secret Garden

Reviewed By SchumacherJack

Just as the rain (the only rainfall in our 8 days here) began to fall, we looked to our left, saw an open door and dashed inside. Good choice. We sat in the "Secret Garden" under a protecting roof during a 2 hour torrential rainfall. No problem because the coffee was great, the breakfast delicious, the company of other quests informational and the owner, his daughter and staff very friendly. We came again, twice again in fact for dinner and enjoyed everything offered. Other reviewers may mention mosquitoes but not to worry. We saw none but the staff always had a few pic coils or bug spray for anyone whose imagination conjured up any of those pests. Food, excellent, atmosphere, unique, but the occasional dog I could do without. I highly recommend this "Secret" place.

The Beached Whale Bar & Grill

Reviewed By Mailer1877

We had flown over to Grand Turk for a day trip from Provo. We stopped here for a bite to eat and a drink. The conch fritters were great. The drinks were good too. Great little spot on the beach. Service was fast and friendly. Highly recommend.

Osprey Beach Hotel Restaurant

Reviewed By SchumacherJack

Who says you can't have your cake and eat it too? This place is probably best known for its BBQ evenings with fresh BBQ Entres, a compact yet satisfying salad bar and delightful live background music. The wait staff here are very professional and neither rush you nor make you wait indefinitely. It's pricey but definitely worth it. Reservations on BBQ nights recommended.Thanks so much for this awesome review ! Hope you tried our pecan or chocolate rum cake during BBQ night :)

Guanahani Restaurant & Bar

Reviewed By Carol D

The Guanahani Restuarant is a great place to experience wonderful food with a true island atmosphere. There are indoor and outdoor options with great views of the beautiful Caribbean. We enjoyed the Saturday Barbecue, appetizers and dessert another night and the drilled lobster a third. The portion sizes are huge and all the food was wonderful. We enjoyed the band at the barbecue as well as the island band that played there on Friday evening. It is definitely a great place to enjoy a wonderful dinner on Grand Turk.Hi Carol,It is always lovely to hear from our customers who enjoyed their meals with us! We take pride in offering"generous" portions! Our food is freshly prepared and we are happy to hear you had a chance to enjoy various items on the menu. We will definitely share your comments with our talented kitchen staff!Until we meet again!Sunny Regards,Ginny & Tom

Jack's has some of the best jerk chicken and vibes on island. This beach bar comes alive when the cruise ships dock.I’m glad you enjoyed Jack’s Shack. You definitely went to the best place for jerk chicken! Next time you should come to our place, Hughstons by the Sea at Turks Head Inne, for some terrific steak and the best pizza on island, perhaps the entire country, with homemade crusts and toppings made to order!

One of the nicest restaurants on the island! Ten of us went and we all had great meals. The food was good and plentiful and the service was attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was warm and inviting which made for an all-around enjoyable evening. Dining options are limited on the island and this (at least to me) is one of the best if not THE best place to have a nice meal...

Sandbar Restaurant

Reviewed By Yoshi_YY

We enjoyed cold beer and lunch at the restaurant after morning scuba diving, means we were very hungry and we were not disappointed! Most meals are from $13 to 20 range and the foods were served very fast. Fantastic location on the beach side. It seems the place attracts both tourists and locals equally. I saw the place was very crowded at one of the evenings. Note this place accepts only cash. Highly recommended.
