Food is expensive but they are the only hot food vendor on the island
Nice little grill that is open a bit longer hours when the restaurant isn't (The Rock Harbor Lodge). You can get basic items here like pre-made breakfast burritos, burgers, fries, etc. If you're just waiting or want a drink, there's a nice deck outside with great views of the harbor to get some local beers to enjoy as well. As others have stated, the workers are great - responsive and friendly. Nice spot to stop after some hiking and backpacking, especially since the lodge dining can fill up rather quickly.
Visited twice during stay in August 2023. Exactly what I would expect considering it is a grill place on a remote island.
Menu is limited but still offered decent variety (really liked that they offered vegetarian and gluten free options). I had the black bean burger and cheese pizza while there, both were enjoyable. Pricing was as expected, some items a little higher and some a little lower than I thought they’d be.
Staff was friendly but struggled communicating with us when it was busy.
Simple yet charming atmosphere.
The best restaurant on the island. Joking aside though it is nice to have a pace to get a cooked meal. My parents and I ate here in September 2016 and enjoyed the atmosphere. We had two Japanese hostesses for which this was a summer job.
