Where to eat Caribbean food in St. Thomas: The Best Restaurants and Bars

July 5, 2020 Sheron Bogner

Find out what Caribbean restaurants to try in St. Thomas. Like all of the U.S. Virgin Islands, St. Thomas has plenty of opportunities to lounge on the beach, splash in the sea, or amp it up with watersports. It also boasts a bountiful duty-free shopping scene – just be prepared to brave the cruise ship crowds. Charlotte Amalie swells with Danish colonial architecture and pirate legend. Shiver ye timbers at Blackbeard’s Castle, then work up an appetite by climbing the historic 99 Steps, constructed from the ballast bricks of 18th century Danish ships.

The Green House

Reviewed By caitie2019

View is great, service is fine, but the food is nothing special, and no locals seem to eat there. Happy hour but one get one is decent, but the regular priced drinks are quite expensive.To say locals don't eat here is a false statement. Locals eat here daily at night and to go food. Currently we are on slow season, on island and half of our customers are locals. They mostly dine on the weekends, when they are off work. If you search around other Restaurant on island, you will find our prices are a lot more reasonable. Thanks for you input.

We were disappointed we had to take a taxi as water too high from resort in the evening. Food was good, nice view on water but would recommend going during the day for the view. Food wasn’t exceptional but good.Good Morning CJWe appreciate your comments and will discuss them with the staff at Shoreline as we continuously try to improve our service. Thank you.

My wife & I visited from the Ritz Carlton Club which is located next door. We’ve eaten at this location over the last 15+ years under what we believe, have been 3 different ownership groups.The restaurant has a really pleasant location in a cove with a beachfront and nice landscaping around it.We shared the Blackened Shrimp Wedge Salad, Tuesday Night Special - Paella, and the Stuffed Grouper. The wedge salad was adequately good but the shrimp were on the smaller size.The Paella was delicious, with both the rice & seafood having been perfectly cooked. The only disappointment in the dish is that the fish in it was salmon. I would have much preferred a local fresh fish in it.The Stuffed Grouper was either not fresh or just totally overcooked. With this, it did not “flake” when being separated to be eaten. We’re not big on sending things back but, If we didn’t share everything, I would have been really disappointed if this was my entree.Our server was excellent and attentive. The host was also welcoming and checked on us.Good Evening pskallman,Thank you for taking the time to review us! We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your experience with us. We're always looking for ways to improve so we certainly appreciate your feedback and will be sure to pass it along to our team. We look forward to having you join us again!

Duffy's Love Shack

Reviewed By zzmaxwell

Have come to Duffy’s for years! Headed to Jost for a week but flew in two days so we could go to Duffy’s. Very disappointed! We want to come to the Virgin Islands to give to the economy to help them out. My group of 9 was totally disappointed! Bartender did not know how to make drinks. Looked at sheet and still didn’t make right. Group has two drinks while 1 waited for a drink. Waitress didn’t care whether we got our food or not. Said she was just back from visiting family. Found lots of other great places to drink and eat in Red Hook. Will not come early from here on out to go to Duffy’s before heading to Jost! So disappointed! Food from cook was fantastic though! Sorry to see this happen to one of our favorite hang outs!Sending you a private message.

We enjoyed a great lunch with wonderful craft cocktails. The setting is right in front of the yachts overlooking the harbor. Our server was friendly and very helpful with recommendations. The service is quicker than most on the island. We had an awesome homemade guacamole and lightly dusted calamari which was perfectly done; not too chewy and fresh. The burger was truly outstanding. They use locally grown ingredients and have a friendly cat to visit your table to say hello.

We would highly recommend. The food is delicious, the staff is authentic and kind. While there are only two restaurants on Water Island we would say Heidis would be the more authentic beachy island vibe. They were extremely sweet and accommodating to our toddler and we hope to come back!

My wife and I stumbled upon the Beer Garden and we are glad we did. We enjoyed the beautiful courtyard with a almond tree in the middle of it. We also enjoyed conversation with Nola, the owner, while we enjoyed our local Leatherback draft beer. Looking forward to make the trip back to St. Thomas do we can do it again!!
