C Food Shack at The Lincoln Eatery
C Food Shack is the first U.S. location for the Caribbean seafood concept, with its original location in Nassau, Bahamas. Created by business owner Laron Culmer, who also serves as executive chef, C Food Shack has been cooking up a storm for the Bahamian public since 2013. The restaurant has offerings for those who eat a vegan diet, like the double tacos made with spicy curry chickpeas in a crispy pita with pickled red cabbage and cucumber chutney. They can accommodate other dietary needs and preferences with their Build-Your-Own C Food Burger.
Some other dishes to look out for include their jalapeño cheddar conch poppers served with a spicy citrus aioli, plus entrees like their Captain Bahamas surf & turf burger and their C Food signature 3-cheese mac and cheese made with your choice of lobster tail, jumbo shrimp, blackened mahi, or mahi crab.
