Went here after seeing reviews. I'm a foodie. I enjoy hole in the wall restaurants. Place was the worst meal I've probably ever had. Set on a swamp. Flies could carry u away during the meal. Only drink they had was beer. Three things on the menu. 'Fried chicken' was chicken tenders. Everything was stuff they pulled put of the... More

I stayed in George town for over a week and came to Cheater's 3 times while I was there. Cheetah/Cheater or Julien was very nice and served great food. The first time, I had cracked lobster and my wife had a burger. Both were great. Second time around, we came for breakfast and had Turkey souse and eggs, both were... More

We have eaten at Santana's and trust me if you want great grouper you will go to Cheater's that was the best fist I have ever eaten in 52 years of eating fish. It was such a great meal I will go back several times before our vacation if over. Very friendly, Fast service, I love it there.

This was definitely our favorite meal on the island. I try the cracked conch everywhere we go in Exuma and this was the best! You can tell who uses frozen and who uses fresh and Cheater's won't serve it unless it's fresh. My husband had the cracked lobster and that was fantastic as well. The meals came with peas n... More

The food is excellent and there's lots of it. Typical Bahamian food. We had the conch fritters, fried whole snapper and the best potato salad and coleslaw on the island. Service is friendly and fast.

Not a fancy place, but Cheater himself was very nice and friendly service was definitely offered. The steaks were the best we had on Exuma, and the grilled grouper was fresh and prepared well. The shrimp was enjoyed by my wife. The venue itself could use some ambiance, but again, Cheater opened up just for us on as Sunday and... More

The conch chowder was the best and Janice, the chef that night, was great. We kept running into Janice during our stay and she made us feel so welcome. We love you, Janice!

Mr. Cheater (Julian) is a charming host and a great--no fantastic cook. We had a great meal and a great time at Cheaters. We went back for breakfast--grits and corn beef--not to be missed.

Enjoyed lunch here on our last day. The snapper was excellent. Not as scenic as lot of the other places around but food was very good and Kalik's were cold.
