Willie T is actually pretty enjoyable these days. And many folks skip the food but it's quite good with lots of fresh local seafood options! Chef Danny is the best and used to prepare all the great fresh fish at Fish-n-Lime.

It's not like it used to be on the weekends because the border is closed but that's still a good strategy!

Speaking of good food, yesterday we had a terrific lunch at Omar’s Fusion. Ran into my old pal Tyrone, who’s back at Pussers WE.

Speaking of ribs. For anyone doing a sleep aboard in Road Town or Nanny Cay, be sure to order food from Gene's in Sea Cow's Bay for delivery!! She has many great dishes (Lobster rolls, Coconut Curry Lobster, Curried Lamb Shank, Conch Fritters (with actual conch!), fresh tuna, etc) but her ribs are fantastic! I can't think of anywhere in the BVI I've had better ribs...
I attached a sample lunch and dinner menu along with the contact info. The bottom number in the picture is also available for WhatsApp.

Thanks Jadon, we might give Gene’s a try. That assumes we get our portal approvals soon. Under 24 hours to the flight down with no updates.

When is your arrival? If it's sometime on Friday, those approvals usually go our starting around 2pm Thursday. Don't worry much until then!
After 2 or 3pm, it's worth escalating. If you're not a FB user, contact Lynette Harrigan @ lharrigan@bvitourism.com

Thank, makes me feel a bit better. Arriving in the BVI at 2:50 tomorrow. Flight out at 7:50. Sadly planning a 5am airport arrival due to insane TSA lines.

On the way down, the bag check line was insane this morning in Raleigh. We were able to use the priority line, but we may have missed our plane if not - even though we arrived 2 hours before our flight. Give yourself extra time - the airports are busier!

We just got approval for all 5 of us at 6:30 PM. All approvals came within 10 minutes. Cant wait to get back! As mentioned looks like they work off your scheduled arrival time. We are scheduled in at 2:40 tomorrow. We did put a post on BVI alive 23 hours before arrival. My heart has resumed beating!
