Blue's is like the bar on Cheers-everyone knows your name and if they don't, they'll ask for it. It's our first meal when we come and the last when we go-with many great meals and good times in between. Eddie and Jace set the tone with great service and generous drinks at the bar. The burgers are the BEST and the potato salad gives mine a run for its money. The menu has something for everyone and it's all delicious! Sunday has brunch (amazing breakfast bagel sandwiches as well as other great choices) and bingo (Tim calls a fun game!) and there is also live music on different nights. I am remiss in not knowing the cooks names-and they deserve a shoutout for the excellent food! It truly is like someone's backyard-open air and homey. Treat yourself to a true island treasure and visit Blue's. PS-a friend created this of Eddie at the bar with AI-and it rocks! read more

Grabbed some takeout from here. I had the 3 meat platter with beef brisket, pork ribs, and italian sausage. The beef brisket was a massive piece of beef, about 3 inches thick. It was tender and juicy. The italian sausage was sauteed in red onions with red and green peppers. The pork ribs were fell off the bone easily. There were 2 sauces to go alojg with the meat. I liked them both. My only issue was that the meat had too much smoke flavor to the point that it tasted like soot to me. read more

For a great Sunday brunch or an afternoon or evening meal check out blues backyard. it's a great place. That's been transformed into a lot of seating and a lot of of space for people to visit in groups or individuals. They have entertainment a few times a week and they have an incredible bar beer and bartender. I've had the brisket and the coleslaw and the Black Eyed Peas salad all were first rate the brisket that I had was on a bun with toppings and it must've been 3/4 of an inch thick. It was tender, juicy and wonderful. Everyone was very friendly and I had a great time. read more

I was in a time crunch and wanted to check this place out so I placed a to-go order over the phone. It was simple and easy. My order was ready when I got there. The parking lot was very dark, but I wasn't scurrrreed. After I got there, I wish I could have eaten there. the place was very nice. It was almost like a park. They have a bar area with a lot of seating. There is also lawn seating with covered picnic tables for you to eat. There is a stage, which a band was playing music on while I was there. And there are Adirondack chairs set up in front of the stage to watch and and enjoy the music while sipping on your drink of choice. Other Adirondack chairs and places around the property with small tables. The food actually comes from a food truck. And of course it does. You know why, because all good food comes from a food truck and this was no exception. The staff there was very friendly. Even though the food is prepared in a truck behind it. I picked my order up at the bar and the bartender could not have been nicer. I did find it weird though, that they add $1 to each item that you order to-go. I have never really seen that, but ohhh well. The restaurant's prices are still very completive and reasonable, even with that fee added on. I had ordered the Triple Threat Big Boy Burger (burger, bacon and pulled pork) with a side of potato salad. I will admit that the burger was a bit soggy because it to so long for me to get back to where I was staying, but it was phenomenal. It was very flavorful and juicy. I highly recommend it. The potato salad was pretty good too. My meal was very filling and I am glad that I was able to check this place out, be it to-go. This is one of your better barbecue joints on the island, bar none. You need to check it out. read more

Jan.8,2023. Went for Sunday brunch and had a great time. They unexpectedly had live music a 10am which was a plus. This is an outdoor BBQ place on a hill past 5 points. A square bar with lots of seats and picnic tables with covers and umbrellas as well as a stage for bands. We ordered a bucket of mimosas (a bottle of champagne with choice of juices). Ginnie got biscuits and gravy and I got an egg sandwich. All was wonderful, we probably could have stayed all day! We will be back soon, Thursday are steak night and I heard they are great. read more

I wanted to grab some BBQ while I was in St. Croix last month so I looked this place up, went there, and it was a great experience. This eatery/bar is on the side of the road. I parked my Jeep and grabbed a seat. The bartender was really cool and nice. I ordered a couple drinks, chopped brisket sandwich, and some of their smoked wings. The food came out super fast since it was already prepared and smoked. The brisket sandwich was awesome; piled high. The wings were awesome. The drinks were tasty. This was some of the best food I had on the island and I would definitely go back. read more

We were greeted by Eddie at the bar who was so enthusiastic that we came to eat! You can sit bar side or in a huge area at a picnic table. Food was great and generous (mac and cheese could be creamier) And....there's live music on Fridays/weekend. read more

We come here every time we come to ST.Croix, and let me start by saying that Matty the bartender serves the COLDEST BEER I've ever had !!!! The customer service hear is awesome. Food is always really good, I had the smoked Chicken this last time and definitely try the potato salad. The owners always come and see how everything is and you can also catch local live music hear too. Just a great spot to hang with locals or visitors and always a good vibe! read more

Amazing bbq. Great pulled pork and brisket. You have to try the black eyed peas salad. Out of this world. Love the ambiance . Roadside open air bbq bar restaurant. The bartender is great. So laid back. If here you have to try this place read more

Drove past this Gem of a spot a few times on our trip before being able to stop in, and boy do I wish we'd have stopped sooner.. Atmosphere was very relaxing and "chill" just like the beers. The food was nothing short of amazing, possibly the best meal we had on the island. Grabbed the 3 meat platter to split, I'm glad we did, there was so much food it was insane; and all of it delicious. The individual bbq sauces for each meat, took the great food and really put it over the top. Can't speak bad about anything we ordered, from the meats, to the corn bread, even the rice and beans had something extra that was a welcomed flavor. Great food, wish I had more days to come back again. Highly suggested if you on the fence ... read more

I am on vacation. Stopped here Tuesday for dinner. Their specials ran out when we got there at 630pm & found out they closed at 7pm. Very friendly Eddy bartender-waiter took care of us. Their pulled pork sandwich was deliciously yummy. We came back again on Thursday for chicken pot pie, steak, more pulled pork sandwich & live music! This time we showed up at 4pm & stayed til 730pm. The live music singer was impressive. Then heard from a customer about their jalapeño Mac & cheese. I was too stuffed to order. Will have to come back for this. Had a wonderful time hanging out here! Highly recommend. I Want to post more photo but Yelp is not letting me. So go check it out for yourself read more

Love this place! Food is very good, drinks and atmosphere relaxed, fun and friendly!

Good food and music. Best smoked ribs I've had in a long time. Chicken is sooo tender!. Cornbread has real chunks of corn in it and is excellent. A bit loud, but fun for a casual outdoor barbecue experience. read more

Had the Brisket sandwich and it was a little on the dry side but we rolled in later in the day so I'm sure we got an early batch. But friendly service and the outdoor live music definitely made it a pleasant visit! read more

Amazing BBQ, Outside, casual, live music, friendly people and great drinks. We were in St Croix for 2 weeks and the only regret was we didn't try this place sooner! We actually went 2 nights in a row; the food was that good! Owners were so friendly too! read more

Great place to hit if you are heading out to Salt Bay from Christensted for a night kayak as no options at the marina. BBQ platter and side with very moist cornbread was enough for both of us to fuel up. Would have stayed longer to listen to the band -it was Friday night- if we didn't have plans. read more

We had a fantastic lunch at this quaint roadside restaurant. The owner was very friendly and food came quickly. They do music in the yard several days a week. I highly recommend this bbq joint. read more

This was our first time visiting Blues, we went for lunch. We had the brisket sandwich, which was delicious! Service and ambiance were great too! Looks like a fun place when they have live music. read more

Four stars for what it is. The name pretty much says it all. It looks like a bar and grill set up in someone's backyard. Like many places on the island, it's open air, so be prepared for that. The food is freshly prepared, on the barbecue off to the side. Or, there are pot pies available from a lady who makes them in a trailer on the property. I've had the pulled pork sandwich, which was quite good, as well as their half pound hamburger, which was very filling. I've also had their hot Italian sausage sandwich. Also really tasty! They have some soft drinks and a variety of bottled beers available, too. As the island recovers from two major hurricanes, there are more places opening up that serve burgers and BBQ. However, I've been here almost three months and haven't found any better than this little spot. Parking can be a bit of a challenge but it's definitely worth the hassle. If you're in the area however, and hungry for some meat, this is the place! read more

My wife really liked this place. Food was good, prices were affordable, and staff was friendly. We stopped here twice. They have live music on the weekends. We didn't get to experience this, but maybe next time. read more

I travel the mainland of the US extensively and have eaten at all of the BBQ spots that "set the standard" for BBQ, and Blues could go toe to toe with any of them! Without a doubt one of the best BBQ spots to eat, not just on the island, but in the country! Great staff! Great food!! read more

This is an outdoor bar/barbecue with a lot of local color. The barbecue is outstanding, we had brisket and pulled pork, both extra delicious. The bar tender, Eddie, is very friendly, funny, and attentive. The cook (I think it was Jimmy) came over to greet us, also a great guy. If you like barbecue, this is the best! read more

Still great! We went back and this year took our sons and a guest from Australia, an expat. She went bonkers for the brisket, it was her favorite meal of the trip. She also rated the Cruzan Confusion the strongest of the trip -- it certainly powered her up for our nighttime cruise on the bioluminscent bay. Sprossling was bummed to not get the special, pot pie, as he was done out of it by the preceding customer. However he was happy with his pulled pork sandwich, one of his go tos. The Colonel got the brisket sandwich and didn't eat the bread, as per usual. I had a lamb burger, which was good, maybe could have done without the tzatziki, which tasted authentic, but didn't quite enhance the lamb as much as something tangier might have. Knowing I was kayaking shortly, I kept my beverages PG but I was happy to see nothing had apparently changed in the year since! read more

Great atmosphere! Good mix of locals and tourists. Live music; food is excellent and the beer is cold. Best burger on the island!

I travel extensively through out the states. Always in search of good barbecue especially in the southern states. This place is one of the best I have ever tried. The brisket is awesome, sausages are excellent. You won't go wrong stopping by here. The staff is very friendly, prices are very reasonable, even the locals that eat here make you feel like part of neighborhood. Just like party in some one's backyard. read more

The food was delicious and there was ample fenced-space for our young children to play. We arrived around 5:30pm on a week night. There was live blues music. The solo musician had a smoky voice. Great. The sandwiches were delicious. The head server was a little overly-talkative. I love a friendly person, but I also love a person who knows when to let you get back to your family and friends with whom you came to the restaurant. Other than that, five stars. read more

Popped in based on a recommendation from the Buck Island tour guide. We had the chicken pot pie and a bbq combo platter with pasta salad. Yum! Yum! Good! The voodoo cocktail is highly recommended!! Okay read more

Great food And beautiful view looking at Buck Island while you eat. the food was great And fresh! The only thing I didn't like is they added a tip on your bill ( party of two ), and then they asked for another tip on the bill. If you're not paying attention, you would tip twice. So really look at you bill. This is not the only restaurant that does this so really pay attention but have to go on Sunday branch and Monday all you can eat seafood! read more

Great food and atmosphere. They have daily specials that are always good. Very reasonably priced.

Blues as its referred too serves very competent pulled pork and brisket amongst others. If I was in North Carolina or say Memphis I would certainly take a star off but for STX you might as well be in Austin TX. It is one is the most affordable meals you will have in STX. It closes early. So check if they are open. Parking is an adventure follow signs. It's a full outdoor bar no air conditioning. The has the cleanest port o john I've ever been in. The crowd is ex-pats, tourists, and a few locals. No trouble here. read more

This has been our 5th trip to St. Croix. We eat here every time, several times during our stay. It seems to be very hard these days to have consistently good quality food, well Blues Backyard BBQ has done it. The Brisket still as good as it was when they opened. It used to be available only Friday's, now it's being served every day. The Brisket Sandwich is excellent, Hamburger is good (the best burger on the Island is served in a brown paper bag, NO it's not McD's) Would like to see fresh cut fries on the menu. Keep up the good work!! read more

Stopped here after the Captain Morgan plant tour (which included sampling a lot of rum, so we needed the food, ha). Lots on the menu and portions are full. Hubs ordered a burger with pulled pork and I got the pulled pork burrito. Both were amazing. Friends ordered meat platters and sandwiches. Only complaint was the Mac n cheese/pasta salad was having an identity crisis, but it wasn't bad per se. Drinks were also great; the staff was friendly and service was fast! The owner, from Texas, who does the cooking, chatted with us to make sure all was good. Definitely recommend!!!!! read more

Very unassuming place with a great vibe. There is a food truck on site which serves basic (yet tasty) food and the bar has a great selection of alcohol. The drinks are well made and affordable. If you're lucky they will have a live band playing as well. read more

Friendly staff, delicious burgers and BBQ. Prices are very inexpensive. Open air bar. Casual, mellow vibe.

There's a plaque at this food truck that's so easy to miss. It's an employee of the month plaque. For over a year, the same name has gone up in that plaque...except for one mystery month with a question mark. Go visit Ms. Sara. She delivers the best damn food. Her boss is from up north on the mainland and he bangs out one HELL if an amazing bean recipe. Between the three of us that ate here, we got: Cornbread waffle topped with brisket chili (oh my god...I could have died) A burger--which the person who ate it, said it was the BEST burger shed eaten in a long time. And something else that I can't remember...but that he loved. We all got 2 root beers and one ginger beer. It was solidly amazing. There are little yard games you can play and the cozier little bar for you to sit at end enjoy. Say hi, for me, to Ms. Sara if you see her :) read more
