The village area at the southern end of the island has a good concentration of restaurants. Seafood dominates — fresh local shrimp, crab, and grilled or blackened fish are staples. Most restaurants are casual; the island has a relaxed beach-town atmosphere.
For breakfast, the Sandcastle Cafe in the village shopping center on Mallory Street does a solid Southern breakfast buffet with biscuits, pancakes, and local ingredients. Mullet Bay is one of the island's most popular dinner spots, in an old Southern-style house with open windows and a wraparound porch. Sweet Mama's is the go-to for ice cream and baked goods.
