We only eat lunch out. We're also very casual (*and cheap LOL*) and our favorites are:
1. Sam and Jack's Deli (they have meals to take home and prepare for supper, too!)
2. Candi's Ribs (she has fish too, but we haven't had it).
3. Miss Vie's conch fritters and rice and beans
4. Tourist Trap
5. Sogo's

Just three favs that stand out...

1. La Tapa
2. La Plancha Del Mar
3. Rhumblines

For lunch Banana Deck is probably where we have consistently gotten the best meals.

We are Coral Bay people so we love Island Blues, they have a nightly special and Aqua Bistro is also great! The breakfast and pizza at Donkey Diner are both GREAT!! We got a salad with our pizza made from Josephine's greens and it was also excellent. We love Miss Lucy's for Sunday brunch, what a great way to start a Sunday! So relaxing! For seafood, I think Shipwreck is wonderful and they have nightly specials that usually features a seafood and a pasta dish. Tourist Trap is great for a quick bite when leaving Salt Pond or Lameshur. I didn't really care for the lobster roll as Caribbean lobster has a whole different texture/flavor IMO!! We cook at least 4-5 dinners in our villa also. Last year, I wasn't so impressed with Skinny Legs as on prior visits.

Thanks, guys! Not only am I making our list, but I'm making a list for my son on his honeymoon. Their budget will be tighter than ours. We are pitching in on the wedding, so cuts have to be made somewhere! They will probably only eat out at lunch and maybe get pizza from Donkey Diner one night.

Asolare--always great. Only once did we have a good not great meal. And the view is always perfect.
Banana Deck--our go to place, as in, where to go tonight--Banana Deck of course
Shipwreck Landing--great food, love the location.
Rhumblines--always good
Sun Dog Cafe--good food out of that little kitchen

Truth in advertising--we have not gone to the Tourist Trap, so I can't comment.

1- Jake's for breakfast and you can basically skip lunch
1- Deli Grotto
1 - Black Sand Bistro - awesome place
1 - Cafe Roma
1 - Sam & Jack's - great sandwiches and meals to go

Sorry, all tied for #1 spot. We missed the sunset dinner at Zozos last trip due to bad weather in May. Guess we'll have to go back and try again...darn
