Hi, I realize I’m opening a “can of worms”, but I an looking for an alternative to Capt. D’s (Last time their ribs were way over cooked) Any suggestions in the Simpson Bay Area for a take out rib place? Thanks!

Those drunken ribs at the Palms are way too expensive for me!
I know it's not Simpson Bay, but the ribs at Mark's are some of the best on island and the best value. You could make a run to Carrefour and get the carry-out while there.

I’m looking for take out only. I’ve heard good things about Mark’s, loved them when he was in Cul d’ sac way back when. Nothing fancy, just looking for something to take back to unit for dinner.

marge--Like I said, if you combine a trip to Carrefour, it makes sense to go to Mark's. Otherwise, it's kind of a haul from Simpson Bay.

I suggest you go back to the Captain's ribs and tell them that the last time they were overcooked. Then place another order and they will know exactly the way you want them. They will appreciate you telling them the problem so they can make it right for you.

You will not go wrong with Mark's Place.

I believe almost all the pork ribs are imported and not from local sources.

I'm going back 25+ years when I used to get ribs from a wonderful lady on All. des Lambis in Grand Case. We were staying at GGBC, and would p/u in the afternoon after a day at the beach. As much as I remember the ribs I will never forget this lovely lady's smile and laugh. Hope someone else remembers.

having had ribs in many places on SXM, although most taste great, i always comment how the "pigs" must be anorexic...hardly any meat compared to the baby back ribs in the US Which may be why the ribs at The Palms aren't as cheap as other spots. Greg's Drunken Ribs are extremely meaty; I have a hard time finishing a half rack.

Most ribs on the the island of SXM are pork ribs. They come in two varieties, baby back ribs and spare ribs. Baby back ribs are a lesser cut, usually smaller in size(3"-6" in length) and less meat on the bone than spare ribs. Baby back ribs are also a less expensive cut. You will see baby back ribs offered at places like Rosie's or the Lolo's and see spare ribs offered at places like The Palms and Lee's.
Most ribs offered on the island are imported as the islands farming community could not even supply just the islands residents.
Be Happy! Simply because you deserve to be. 😁

At one time, I was told most of the pork ribs come from Venezuela. No idea if that is accurate but they are not local in most cases.

To me, there is a HUGE difference between true baby back ribs and spare/St. Louis style ribs. I much prefer baby back ribs.
