B55 Monday Aug 22

We had dinner tonight at B55..........down beyond the airport (by about 4 miles) and then LEFT at the lights near the Balashi factory. Then about 1/3 mile on the right.

Paul, Kathy (aka sugar) and me.
Paul and Kathy had grouper.
I had chicken creole on skewer.

Each dinner came with a side salad, baked potato, rice, potato salad, baked apple and steamed veggies (cabbage and carrots).
If you are on a carb limiting diet, run a fast as you can AWAY from this restaurant.

Paul and I on the other hand, who should be limiting carbs.........enjoyed every morsel.:-)

PROBLEM******************
The tradewinds have been sucked away by hurricane IRENE.
Damn her.
So it was hot, muggy and uncomfortable there.

I would go again and again and again.

Meal price for the 3 of us total before tip $53.
:-)

I'll be giving them a try in October...menu looks really good. It's a bit out of the way for my usual travel on the island but I'll just plan an extra Alhambra night!

We love the B55. We go for lunch or dinner every trip we make to the island. Its one of the real hidden gems of the island.

I've been there half a dozen times and never had a bad meal.

It depends on your taste in food. As Andrea said, they serve alot of food and alot of carbs which is not my cup of tea for dinner. But, to stop by for lunch for a few cold ones, a snack or two, or maybe a salad is great for us. It has a nice, relaxing atmosphere which we also like - especially at lunch time.

We had B55 for lunch last year and it is at the top of my list for our return trip at the end of the month. A hidden gem, if you ask me.
