If you're looking for authentic island food, you'll need to stop here, where Miss Ilene herself dishes up traditional island fare such as stewed chicken with rice and beans, fried plantains and cabbage salad, and whole fried fish. If she's making soup, be sure to try some even if it's hot out—her soup is legendary in West End.

Known simply as "Rotisserie Chicken" to locals, you'll be asked by nearly everyone in town if you've been here for chicken yet. A charming little restaurant with plastic chairs and a nice view, quarter, half, and whole chicken dinners are served here along with a large variety of sides and homemade limeade. Try to get here on the early side for dinner or the chicken might get sold out.

There are plenty of gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian options, and the owner even tucks handwritten notes with inspirational messages into every take-out bag.
