While visiting the island as a guest of one of the residents (October 27, 2024) We went to Beachcomber’s BBQ to pick up a picnic for lunch to eat as a group. While waiting for my food, with my group, the supposed “owner of Beachcomber’s” grabbed my personal beach bag so that I could not move while I was exiting the restaurant. And then his to cohorts asked me if I was uncomfortable about him grabbing my beach bag, then he proceeded to HUG me without my permission!! And the another cohort said “it’s ok he is the owner” I was wondering where his wife was and how she would feel…would she be uncomfortable? I’d also like to ask him are you uncomfortable?

Read more... it's a family owned and operated barbeque restaurant that serves up consistently good food without all the tourist crowds and the glossy magazine hype... The chicken is really moist and well smoked, the barbeque is excellent - not "whole-hog" so the meat is leaner but cooked just right (read moist and not greasy) If you're downwind when the smoker is fired up it will draw you right in... it's also the front for a very small, mostly-locals bar ... It's not fancy, it's the kind of place where you pay when you order at the window and they hand you a cup and point you in the direction of the tea and drink fountain. They have 2 flavors of sauce and a roll of paper towels at the table. Straight off the beach is just fine, There's cold AC and picnic tables inside and picnic tables and fans outside... It's the...
