Why Travelers Love Da Conch
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
This TCI institution is worth the trip. You literally sit on the beach a few feet from the rolling waves. Very cool!! Great vibe. Great food. Ice cold beer. Enjoy the conch, a brew and the view! Went to Conch Shack later in the evening as the sun was setting. We didn’t have a reservation and ended up in a great seat. Much of the seating was set on the beach for a beautiful dinner view with a nice breeze. We ordered a rum punch pitcher which got us feeling very buzzed. We started with Crack Conch as the appetizer which was delicious. Similar to calamari. For our dinner we ordered the local fish which was grouper our evening which was so good. We also ordered the jerk chicken and it also was very authentic in the Caribbean. There was a DJ there our night playing 2000’s R&B and the customers all around were loving it. Overall a great dinner and would recommend. From when we were greeted to when we left, service was great, all smiles very inviting. We got the conch fritters to start, since I heard they were all the rave here. Small plate of conch fritters came with 6. Each were very good size, very filling in themselves ($10.00). We ordered the local Turks head lager (I believe they were $7.00 a piece). For our meal we got the Jerk Chicken ($28.00 each), came with red beans and rice, coleslaw and a very nice serving of chicken. The sauce that came on the side was a great balance to all the flavors. While we were eating we were able to see one of the associates go out and hunt for conch, very cool, wish I got a closer look but I was too busy enjoy this delicious meal. Left with full belly’s and happy hearts, now time to go relax and enjoy the rest of the island. Definitely coming back! Notes: Gratuity was included in the bill. Bill came to about $113, so plan accordingly. They do accept card (we paid with cash). They have souvenirs stands outside closer to the beach with hand crafted items. If you don’t like a bartering interaction avoid, unless you’re truly looking to buy something.

Beautiful place, but the food and drinks were really disappointing,both tasted bad and were overpriced. None of the dishes we ordered were enjoyable, and they only accepted cash, which was quite strange. The chicken was also undercooked. We ended up paying $170 USD and didn’t enjoy the meal at all.
