There's absolutely nothing stylish about this place (it was originally a Howard Johnson's), but because of its good value and cheerful staff, it's almost always filled with satisfied families. Within a yellow-painted interior that's accented with junkanoo memorabilia, you can order filling portions of diner-style food with a Bahamian twist: cracked conch and lobster, grilled mahimahi, grouper fingers with tartar sauce, homemade soups, and fried fish. Sandwiches always come with one side order; platters always come with two. The place is named after the legend of a Bahamian slave who escaped in the canoe of a junkanoo band. Friday through Sunday nights between 8 and 10pm, there's live junkanoo music, accented with goatskin drums and synchronized cowbells.

Breakfast $2.75-$10; salads, sandwiches, and lunch and dinner platters $9.95-$24.Open: Daily 7:30am-midnight.Credit Cards: AE, DISC, MC, V.
