About
The Poop Deck on East Bay Street is one of Nassau's most established and frequently recommended seafood restaurants, with a 4.2 rating across 1,349 reviews — a significant review base that reflects years of consistent quality. The restaurant occupies a two-story waterfront building with a lower dining room and an upper deck with views across Nassau Harbour.
The menu is focused on fresh Bahamian seafood: grouper, snapper, lobster, and multiple conch preparations. Food quality is consistently praised in reviews. The combination of location, consistent quality, and genuine local character has made it a recommended restaurant among both visitors and Nassau residents.
For families, the upper deck is the table to request — the harbour views are excellent and the open-air setting gives kids more room to breathe than the tighter lower level. The late closing time and 1,349 reviews suggest this is a reliably busy spot; reservations or early arrival are recommended for dinner.
With a price level of 2 (mid-range), it is more expensive than local fish shacks but significantly cheaper than Atlantis resort dining with comparable seafood quality.

Why Kids Love It
The name alone generates excitement from the moment you mention it to kids. The upper-deck sunset view over Nassau Harbour is genuinely stunning, and the fresh seafood is some of the best in Nassau at this price point.
Pro Tips from Parents
- Request the upper deck — the harbour views make the experience substantially better than the ground floor.
- Arrive for the sunset (roughly 6-7pm depending on season) and you will have one of Nassau's best free views with dinner.
- The conch chowder is a local staple here — order it as a starter regardless of what the kids are having for mains.
What to Bring
- No special requirements
- Reservation or plan to arrive early for dinner — the wait can stretch to 40 minutes on busy nights
- Camera for the upper deck sunset view
