"To satisfy your conch craving, stop at Bugaloo's Conch Crawl on the south side of Providenciales, just a few minutes from Chalk Sound. The beachfront restaurant in Five Cays has indoor and outdoor seating, withsome of the tables setright along the waterline, lapped by the rising tide. You’ll find a great selection of seafood, including plenty of conch dishes, along with fried chicken and burgers. In the evenings, Bugaloo’s hosts local bands, fire dancers, and other entertainment."

Please do not be concerned if there are no cars present upon arrival. Take a moment to appreciate the breathtaking scenery. The views and water are truly exceptional. The service was outstanding. My daughter's shrimp fried vegetable rice was excellent. I opted for the fried whole snapper, which was seasoned to perfection, hot, and fresh. My side salad was fresh; although the rice and peas were only mediocre. Unfortunately, we have yet to find exceptional rice and peas on the island.

We happened to stumble on this place my mistake but it was awesome! The bartender was so nice, and recommended the conch fritters. BEST CONCH FRITTERS ON THE ISLAND!!!! The views were really nice as well!! Make sure to walk yourself out to the conch graveyard (if you are feeling adventurous) it was really cool to see up close!

Came with fries crispy and hot! all the empty tequila bottles on top he tables serve as nice decorations and makes everyone think you bought a 300$ tequila I found that funny! View is wonderful and plenty of seating Menus and photos taken may 12th

Took our family of four for dinner. The road to the restaurant is like driving on the moon. The view at the restaurant is just ok. Service was good and food above average. We enjoyed conch fritters and coconut conch, and burgers. Drinks were spot on.

Bugaloos Conch Crawl is the epitome of island chill—set right by the water with your toes practically in the sand, it’s the perfect spot to soak up the last rays of paradise before heading home. The vibe is effortlessly relaxed, the food is fresh and unfussy (think conch done right), and the cocktails are tropical and satisfying. It’s where lunch feels like a mini vacation in itself, with the sea breeze, reggae tunes, and laid-back energy wrapping you in one final embrace of island life.

Bugaloos is an absolute treasure in Turks and Caicos and a must-visit for anyone seeking an authentic island dining experience. Nestled on the picturesque waterfront in Five Cays, this spot effortlessly combines delicious food, a relaxed ambiance, and unbeatable views. The highlight of our meal was the grilled whole red snapper, which, without exaggeration, was the best I’ve ever had in my life. Perfectly seasoned and grilled to perfection, the fish was fresh, tender, and bursting with flavor. Paired with traditional sides like rice, peas, and fried plantains, it was a meal I’ll be dreaming about for years to come. What makes Bugaloos even more special is the unique dining setup. We had lunch while seated at a bench in the water! Feeling the cool ocean waves gently lap against our feet as we sipped on their refreshing rum punch was an experience unlike any other. The service was friendly and laid-back, perfectly matching the island vibe. You’ll also find live music here that adds to the tropical charm. If you’re in Turks and Caicos, Bugaloos is an experience you simply can’t miss. Delicious food, unbeatable views, and a truly unique atmosphere – this place has it all.

The food was really good. Conch ceviche and conch coconut were out of this world. A gentleman who helped us was so friendly. However when it was time to pay, a lady brought us the tip/sign receipt. I asked if tip was already included. She said no. I had to ask her to see the receipt again (because she took it away) and it said right there 15% was already added to the bill. She wanted me to tip 20% on top of 15% tip that’s already on the bill. That would have been 35% tip. If that’s not a scam, I don’t know what else is. Maybe it’s just me but no one should scam another person like this. It really leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I hope no one falls for that.
