Try the Roti Hut in George Hill, maybe Kenny's BBQ which is on the side of the road in Sandy Ground on Friday and Saturday evenings. The Valley on Saturday's is chock-full of BBQ stands, soup stalls (Conch, Oxtail, Whelk soup) Roast corn - all local fare. Even some of the bakeries like Hall's in the Valley do excellent local sandwiches and the breakfast patties (saltfish and king fish) are to die for. Also - do yourself a favor and rent a car if you're going to do some serious driving around the island. The taxi's are overpriced and out of control. Also, if you want some restaurant food thats not from a Resort, try Koal Keel. I've never had a bad meal there. You need to get out a bit and eat where we Anguillians eat.

We have been to some local places. I should have mentioned that. Some of them are okay. We ended up going to Picante, the Mexican joint, several times, which stands out. Agree wholeheartedly.

We've been traveling to Anguilla for 13 years. We've never been the type to drop $200 for a meal. The more you pay, the less you get, and more importantly, $$ and quality don't necessarily go hand in hand. We've found the smaller local places and the bbq shacks provide us with what we need. The locals and other vacationers we meet at these places are what we enjoy. Don't get me wrong, we've had some outstanding meals at the upper end places, but, we've had a lot more fun at the local restaurants that get it. "It" being good food at reasonable prices will bring you repeat business. High end, fussy restaurants run a huge risk of failing to deliver and by the next season they're either gone or a new chef has taken over. Just get yourself a cold Heineken, some ribs and slaw, and call it good way to spend a day! I don’t pretend to be a professional foodie or food critic, but, I know my way around a kitchen.

I have come to the conclusion that, out of courtesy, you selected a photo of a hotel that is not Anguillian at all. IDM I have been struggling to figure out which hotel your first photo depicts.
