Tucked away on the sun-drenched shores of White Bay in Jost Van Dyke, Hendo’s Hideout is more than just a beach bar — it’s a vibe. With views of turquoise waters, toes-in-the-sand seating, and a lunch menu packed with bold, fresh Caribbean flavor, it’s the perfect midday stop for hungry beachgoers and boaters alike.
Whether you’re sailing in for the afternoon or strolling over from the sand, Hendo’s lunch offerings are designed to satisfy every craving. Here are a few standout items from their laid-back and flavorful midday menu:
Start with the Ocean’s Best: Conch Fritters & Ceviche
Nothing says “Caribbean lunch” like a plate of fresh seafood. Hendo’s Conch Fritters are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and served with a sweet chili aioli that hits all the right notes. Want something lighter? Try the Ceviche of the Day — made with the local catch and cured in lime, onions, peppers, cilantro, and jalapeños. It’s cool, citrusy, and pairs perfectly with a cold drink under the midday sun.
Bold Bites: Wings Done Right
Whether you’re snacking solo or splitting with friends, the White Bay Wings are a solid lunch pick. Choose from Buffalo, BBQ, or Hendo’s signature sauce, and don’t forget the celery, carrots, and your choice of ranch or blue cheese on the side.
Taco Time: Fried Grouper or Steak Birria
When lunch calls for something with a little extra flavor, Hendo’s tacos deliver. The Fried Grouper Tacos are a crispy, tropical dream with pineapple salsa and sriracha mayo, while the Steak Birria Tacos bring bold, savory depth with cheddar jack cheese, consommé dip, and all the right garnishes.
The Lobster Grilled Cheese: A Must-Have Splurge
Craving something indulgent for lunch? The Lobster Grilled Cheese is the move. Lobster, bacon, and melty cheddar jack come together between slices of multigrain bread, served hot with a side of fries. It’s rich, satisfying, and unlike anything you’ll find at your average beach bar.
Pair It with a Rum Punch & Soak It All In
Hendo’s lunch menu isn’t just about the food — it’s about the full experience. Sip a signature rum punch or Painkiller, take in the sweeping views of White Bay, and let the afternoon drift by.
Whether you’re refueling after a swim or making Hendo’s your main event, their lunch menu is packed with crave-worthy dishes that bring Caribbean comfort to every bite. Come hungry, stay happy — and don’t forget to grab a seat by the water.
Pro tip: Get there early for lunch to grab a prime beachfront spot, and stay long enough to watch the boats roll in and the sun drift west.
Lunch in paradise starts at Hendo’s Hideout. See you on the beach.
