Mia--I think Mark's has the best ribs on island. Pretty much can't miss with anything there!

Mia--If you go to Mark's, you have to try the scalloped potatoes and the garlic bread! Yum! And if someone doesn't want ribs, I think all their meals are good, huge portions, enough for leftovers for the next day! Enjoy!

And to add to what’s already been said, Marks ‘all you can eat ribs’ is the deal of the island but if you’re NOT a rib person, their ‘moules et frites’ are absolutely delish and reasonably priced, too. The broth is out of this world. Yummy!

Mia--I think you won't regret it. Just make sure you let us know how you liked it.

I'm jumping in on this conversation with "Captain's Rib Shack" on Airport road!! OHHHYEAH!!! And the rum punch is really good! Order the combo for two!! Yes, Marks place is very good, no doubt about that! The Cap's is really good! And let us not forget Joan from Ms. Bee's on Dawn beach! Back then, those were the best ribs on the island! Hands down! https://www.facebook.com/captainsribshack
Sand Gravity, got to love it!

Oh boy, ribs! What’s the rub your wife is using?
I’m due to smoke some more soon. Same 3 hr smoke on kamado, no sauce. Mesquite for smoking It's her secret. She takes up to 14 different spices in a blender and then hands it to me. Said it was a family recipe. Whatever it is everyone that has our ribs rave about them. Lee's come real close.

Note about Lee's. While we were there, heard from a few people that Lee's was sold a few months ago, and the food there have declined big time. We always LOVED Lee's ribs, and i wrote about them here many times. People were very dissapointed after eating there. If i only heard it from one person, i would've let it just go by, but hearing it from numerous people that were there at different times, well......we missed it this year. I did have ribs a few times from Captain's ribs,(which were fantastic), and also had some pretty good ribs from Driftwood. Made up for the loss of Lee's.

I was there in mid-March and either Lee, his wife or his son were there most of the evenings I stopped in, which was about every night for 11 nights. This "heard" crap needs to be substantiated, otherwise it is rumor and you are perpetuating it.

This "heard" crap needs to be substantiated, otherwise it is rumor and you are perpetuating it. I have to agree with you, ruralcarrier. I don’t think any of us will knowingly perpetuate a rumor but all too often the “I heard from a friend who spoke to his ex-wife’s niece who talked to……WHOMEVER! and they said blah, blah, blah.” My rule of thumb is if I didn’t get it from the direct source I don’t buy into it and sure will not repeat it. SXM is an incredible source of all kinds of rumors, most of which ought NOT be shared. Now, back to the question of Lees, did news of the sale come from Lee or a friend of a friend of a friend?

We were there last November. Although, Louise loved her lobster. I ordered the burger, in the past was amazing. Much to my suprise, they gave me a "Meatball" burger! Although is wasn't bad, it just wasn't there famous juicy burger. The service was nowhere to be found at times and there were only a few tables with guests. And we were on a time crunch or I would have sent it back. For you non smokers, the bar and dining area was all no smoking.
Sand Gravity, got to love it!

Correct pat. Repeating and posting in public without FACT is what irritates me. The fact Lee's son was there on a regular basis and appeared to be helping run the operation tells me it is still in the family. I think as we all know, about anything and everything is for sale at the right price but posting hearsay doesn't get it.
The more things are repeated and passed on without fact, the more bloated and sometimes exaggerated they become.

He "heard" it. It is hearsay and probably not credible.
