What a heart-warming story, Mrs. Barrows! You see, this is the reason they call the Bahamian Out-Islands - Eleuthera is one of them - Family Islands. It's all smiles when you approach Eleutherans in a friendly manner because locals like to laugh and chat.
North of Governor's Harbour, in the settlement of James Cistern, you'll find a similarly friendly cookout/barbeque place to the one you found. Good Bahamian food is served under a tree by Billy Stubbs and his wife. An ideal spot for lunch to get in touch with Eleutherans, tourists and Winter residents. Fridays and Saturdays only. Call them between 10 and 12 a.m. on 335-6111.
Thanks so much, Mrs. Barrows, for your wonderful Eleuthera experience and if you're thinking of coming back to "our" island, take a look at this page.
