We stopped at Big D's and really loved it!! They make great drinks, the staff was very friendly and the service was good! We all preferred the beach and atmosphere of Big D's over Chat n Chill. We didn't eat there but they had a guy making fresh conch salad. We will definitely return to Big D's. on our next... More

Hamburger beach is now reopened and running by Big D. Much cleaner then CC and they have music. People are friendly and they have the best hotdogs. It's nice to have a 2nd option.

Great to see Big D getting such good reviews for his new place on Hamburger Beach. Now there'e more choice than just Chat'n'Chill. The atmosphere is great and the service friendly. If people are complaining about it being a bit slow then fine but what's the rush - enjoy. We went a couple of times and once there was actually... More

Big D's is an island must. The food is okay, but the atmosphere is what makes the place.

Not busy at all during the week, unfortunately. Since Sandals became all inclusive, there aren't a lot of week-day diners there. But food is great, view is fab, and bartender was very sweet. Also, Big D owns the snack shack at Hamburger Beach (water taxi can take you there) but it might be open just on week-ends. Location of Bid... More

This was okay. Disappointed as no conch that night and I had yet to have conch on my stay!! Service was really really slow but fortunately we had arrived just before the crowds. Food was just okay.

I can't disagree with some of the reviews on slow service and why simple things take a long time. That seems to be par for the course in The Bahamas.....certainly Exuma. So don't go expecting a quick bit in 60 minutes. Put your order in, walk the beach, talk with the locals at the bar or conch salad counter and... More
