Fantastic experience at Dinghy Dock. Appetizers: Crab cakes were delicious, made there. Entrees: The plate of BBQ ribs were gigantic, enough for two smaller eaters. Great sweet, tangy flavor and well cooked. I had the Mahi and it was good. Tostones were very good. Desert: Kahlua cake was flavorful. Ben was our server and was attentive, enthusiastic and kind. He did a great job! The real plus was the water-side dock seating, right on the water with the 20-30 pound tarpon hanging right at the dock in the water. The ambiance was fun, great people with stories to share of sailing, honeymooning and vacationing. The place was packed, the line to get in when we left mid evening around 8:30 filled the entrance and up the wooden stairway to leave. Definitely returning. read more

For any lover of rice and beans, Dinghy dock is your place! Never have I had such delicious rice and bean before. I came to grab dinner nursing the worst hangover possible and the rice and beans were the only thing that made me feel better it was so delectable it was impossible to stay in a poor mood, plus the beautiful views sure so help, we were seated right on the end looking into the water were huge fishes swam circles just waiting for their next meal. We then saw the server throw leftovers off a plate into the water where the fishes wasted no time splashing around to get a bite. Definitely a memorable experience ! read more

Nice atmosphere and good service. They have one of the best bars on the island. Its pretty much the place to go for late night fun. We just had some apps with all our drinks. Tried to go back for dinner the next night but the wait was too long to get in. read more

Ok I am going to just list pros and cons for this restaurant because otherwise I am afraid that I will become very long winded and possibly irritated again with our experience here. The reason I am giving 3 stars is because the atmosphere and the food were both very good. It's a shame how an impatient and rude waitress can really effect how you feel about a dining experience. CON's -Waitress was bothered by the fact that one of the 9 year olds at our table didn't know how he wanted his burger cooked so she swung around to my husband and said "ok, maybe you are ready to order". -Same waitress told my 9 year old daughter, who was wearing a very conservative one piece bathing suit that she had to cover herself up. It was early afternoon and not many other patrons there. One patron at the bar however was wearing a tiny bikini top and short shorts with everything spilling out everywhere, but that was fine. Daughter got up to look at the fish and forgot to wrap her sarong around herself and the waitress went right up to her and told her to cover up. Very weird. -Same waitress (sorry I didn't get her name) when bringing us our food came with the burger for the same 9 year old and he had his arms on the table in front of him where she wanted to put the plate. We asked him to look out for his plate and the waitress took it upon herself to move the child's arms off the table herself. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Maybe this waitress should not be allowed to wait on tables with children in attendance. PRO's - The food was good, small menu but it wasn't a problem for us. - The atmosphere was nice it is directly on the water with giant Tarpon swimming at the edge of your table waiting for a French Fry to come their way. - Colorful decor in keeping with the islands mellow vibe (said waitress must be from out of town) - Easy walking distance from the ferry dock So will I return to this establishment? Probably, but if the same waitress comes to my table I will ask for someone else. Maybe one of the mellow looking dudes wearing dreads, I can't imagine them being rude. read more

We went there and it was nice! The view is beautiful and food delicious. We ordered salad with avocado and fried fish. Everything was so good! I recommend! read more

This is definitely my favorite restaurant in Culebra. I had the "El Pollo" and it was EXCEPTIONAL. All the food is reasonably priced and had a few vegetarian options. Service was excellent and the staff was very welcoming and nice. Overall a great experience, I definitely recommend. read more

Food is GREAT! Enjoyed the water view plus watching the big fishes in that clear water...sailboats in the foreground... amazing,

Great place, great food, great waitress! The ambience was really nice, the music, the view. Heather was amazing, always checking in and refilling our drinks. read more

If you find yourself on Culebra on a Friday and you want to stay away from the sweaty crowds of Flamingo beach, the town of Dewey has a few things to offer. Dinghy Dock has live music on select nights and there is a nice clientele at the bar ranging from island locals to lifetime cruisers and just weird collection of people that somehow ended up in the jewel of the Spanish Virgin Islands. Great place to exchange hurricane stories and find someone who knows a good diesel mechanic. read more

Don't know if it's worth the 1.5 hour wait to eat here but atmosphere was really cool on the water overlooking Marlins. Food was pretty good except for my wayyyyy overcooked salmon. The taste was good. Service was good too so guess can't ask for more. There's only 3 main restaurants on this island. Gotta make the most of each one. read more

This place has a great atmosphere and is located right on the water. So there are wonderful views of the bay with a constant cool breeze. And as you're eating huge tarpon are swimming around waiting for scraps of french fries or meat that the servers throw to them. That alone could be worth the price of admission for some. I had the grouper w wasabi slaw, which was very tasty. My gf have the mahi mahi, which didn't have as much flavor but was cooked perfectly. Service was good. Took a while to get our food but the place was pretty busy when we got there. Only reason it didn't get 5 stars was because $50 plus tip for 2 fish sandwiches, a glass of wine, a Coke and some water-they charge $1.50 for a bottle of water-is pretty spendy. read more

Limited vegetarian options, but pretty good. Poor beer selection. Delicious daiquiri. Very nice to sit and watch the water and the fish while you eat. read more

This place is great! The food drinks and service were awesome. Food: The fish of the day was yummy, mild and prepared well. Very fresh. I don't remember the name but similar to grouper... Two of us had the whole red snapper! If you can handle picking apart the whole fish it is super yummy! OH MY PEANUTBUTTER PIE!!! It's a must for dessert! Service: this place gets busy so be prepared to wait a bit.... You can sit at the bar for a drink or check out the fish just off the dock, fun atmosphere... Our waitress was super sweet and answered all out questions! Give this place a whirl! You will not be disappointed! read more

Food was so so because maybe we ordered deep friend stuff? Drinks were reasonably priced especially during The happy hour (up to 6pm). Dinner menu starts at 6pm. The most fun part was enjoying the big tarpins that swim around waiting for goodies to be thrown at them (kids and adults getting entertained). The view is amazing too. The ambience made up for our poor choice of food. read more

Happy hour, amazing drinks, the perfect happy hour, and super deliciously food. 5 star customer service! !! The #1 spot in Culebra!

Nice setting, attentive staff, nice local vibe while waiting for a table (ie a story from a local about 4 women chasing a pig to put a halter top on it) Overall, very good food. Best bet is market priced red snapper. read more

Wow! The food and look of this place is amazing. We had stopped at Aquatic Adventures to set up a snorkeling trip when we noticed the bar at bottom of stairway. Out of curiosity we went down to discover a bar and restaurant right by the water. Some of the locals had their boats parked right by the bar . We were told that most restaurants on island dont open until 6pm on week days,. This may be due to the fact that our visit was in November during their low season. We returned at 5pm for some very tasty drinks. I really enjoyed my Pasoa with vodka and cranberry. At siix the waiting staff promptly took our order. I highly recommend the Coconut Shrimp for an appetizer. My sister and I had the best filet Mignon that just melted in our mouth. Our husbands ordered Seared Tuna, which was outstanding. I must mention that the tostones they make here our excellent. We ended our meal with a f, an for desert and complimentary coffee. read more

See all

Ended up running a tab of 200 coz if the awesome drinks. Great service, good location, decent food, and a really good evening.

For island living this place is awesome! The atmosphere is what kept us coming back 3 out of the 5 nights on our stay in Culebra. Get there around 6 for dinner otherwise you will have a wait to eat, but it's not a bad place to have a wait if you aren't too hungry. At the dock there are a ton of tarpon waiting to be fed so that is entertaining for a little while and the bar area is a nice size to grab a drink and wait comfortably. The food isn't amazingly prepared or anything, but it's fresh and filling! They have live music some nights and the place gets crazy. We met some really cool locals while we were here as well. This place is clearly a must while in Culebra! read more

Where the sailing crowd gathers. A fun place with cats and dogs and smokers on the stairs outside, and chairs with a nice view of the harbor inside. We visited three times in a 4 days stay. Banana daiquiri and steak dinner were delicious and they make a serviceable rum and Coke. read more

I'd give it 3.5 stars if I could, but as it was solid but not impressive I went down instead of up. Food was good. Can compare it mostly to Mamacitas, which wasn't as good. Service was nice and pretty prompt. The fish by the dock was cool. The bar was a little bit of an old man fest, so for women travelers, one may not feel as welcome saddling up for a happy hour. For an app, we would have preferred 6 coconut shrimp instead of the four, but it was good. Partner had mahi mahi which she said was good and she liked the cream sauce. I got the pork chop special which was super juicy and I had one to take home. Rice and beans solid, too. GET there EARLY as you can wait an hour for a seat. read more

Try the grilled red snapper! It's really delicious, especially with the local dish - bean and rice.

Great live music and atmosphere. Local fish was great. Only downside is slow service but would definitely go back!

Good was good ,the environment was amazing, drinks were great and service was fast. Would definitely come again

This place was super cool. Food was good, ambiance was great and the drinks were yummy. Our server was so friendly and funny. A definite island favorite! read more

Nice place, food is good but not great, but the waiters were nice and told us exactly what we needed to know about the food on the menu!

Sits right next to the ocean with a view of the bay. There are huge tarpon off the deck to feed. The cheeseburger was good, maybe a little over cooked for what we ordered. The El Mero (grouper sandwich) was delicious with a wasabi coleslaw. Yummy onion rings! The mahi mahi sandwich was good too. Beautiful spot to sit and enjoy a few cocktails! read more

The food was great and loved the atmosphere. Service slowed down a little as the restaurant became busy. Great view of the houses on the bay. It is fun to look at the tarpon hanging out next to the dock side tables. Drinks were expensive, but we ordered upgraded tequila in our drinks. Could be the tariff on tequila out of Mexico causing the high prices. The upgraded tequila at Zacos Tacos was also expensive. We would recommend this restaurant. read more

we waited for a long time to get a seat though the waiters tell us just 15-20 minutes. Well, I can understand it. But after we set down, we are ignored and we waited for a even longer time to get our dishes. read more

Everything is right here, one of my favorite places to hang out and have a drink ever. Cocktails are delicious, beer is cold view is great! Don't be afraid to order the churrasco steak, it's delicious. So is the red snapper! read more

This is a MUST place to go!!! Its romantic, its perfect for just having a drink. You have an excellent view, awesome service and the food just DELICIOUS, it is a little pricy BUT totally worth it! Dont miss out read more

It is edible, but who in the world gives this 4 stars, I am being generous with 3. The artichoke dip is squeezed out of a tube, or at least that's how it tastes. Right off the Sisco food truck at best. Like Tostinos pizza rolls. So enjoy the bar and drink up first! Beware...at least you won't get sick and you can look at the tarpon in the water. read more

We started with a seafood soup that was just awesome, had a fresh red snapper that was condimented just perfect.... fresh food... it was a 4th of july bridge so the place was packed but the food came out just in time, had a few drinks in the meanwhile... perfect atmosphere, there is actually a dock and there are huge fish just lurking for your spare bread... kids will love it! read more

Great location! You can see the tarpin right by the dock! Great piña coladas! Nachos were good, crab cakes were good. Not a large selection of food but good. We found ourselves going back several times. They had really cool live music on Saturday night. read more

How does this place stay in business? Lack of competition. We went for lunch and it was bar food at its worst. I had chicken fajitas and the the 3 other people in my party ordered the grouper sandwich. Two of them declared the sandwich inedible. My wife ordered nachos as well, which I blame on heat exhaustion. In hindsight, the nachos were probably the best tasting thing. I mean, at least you know what to expect with tostitos and melted cheese. The only positive aspect of the meal was a mixed green salad - a very welcome treat because of the lack of greens on the island. Skip this place - it was the worst food we have ever had in Culebra. Order from Homeless Dog and have it delivered or find your way over to Zaco's Tacos. Maybe as a bar this is a better venue. It's hard to screw up a bottle of beer and the music is supposed to be decent but as far as dining goes, it's a pass. read more

Excellent place for a delicious and relaxed meal. The restaurant is located right on the water with one side that is a dock, open to the air. The place has a great vibe with a cool bar to grab a drink while waiting for a table. The service was great, everyone was very helpful and friendly. Our waitress was sweet and considerate. Food was fresh and delicious. Great place to spend an evening on the island! read more

Great joint. Food is carefully done. Nothing Michelin star but fresh tasty. And he layout is one or a kind. Boaters really pull up their boats and you can toss leftovers to the school of tarpon that lurk just off the dining room. Great drinks including NA beer read more

Drinks were really good especially the banana daiquiri..! I ordered lasagna.. Sidnt like it but the black bean empanada was good..! Loved the water deck and the groupers. :) read more

Absolutely amazing food, expect at least and hour wait for food and a line at the bar, but totally worth it. We had filet and the red snapper, delicious and wonderful environment. Really reasonable for the quality and great wait staff! Made our island getaway even more special! read more

This little gem of a waterside restaurant has nice ambience and excellent service...popular!!!!!
