    Chester Fried is no Popeyes but it gets the job done. It's the perfect place to grab a quick bite after a full beach day and drinking. Chester Fried has a nice neighborhood bar on the outside. I'm a bit troubles by all the talk of sketchy people and such. This is neighborhood of people who live near by or grew up in the area. It's probably best to grab your chicken and enjoy the great local people. Say hi, it's cheaper than the chicken.

    Hard and tough, lacking flavors. Very bland

    Prices are reasonable for the island and the chicken looks good. However, it has no flavors and it's tough. I asked the cashier to give me the biggest piece and she did. The coating is quite hard so it's not really crispy and light. ...again lacking flavors

    Chester Fried has some of the best fried chicken on St Thomas, USVI. The restaurant has a huge parking lot and is easy to drive to. Their chicken is cooked fresh and is absolutely delicious! Would highly recommend supporting this locally family-owned establishment. I didn't go here for drinks, but they have a huge bar area and pool tables.

    $5 for 4 strips!

    I'm not gonna lie the ambience of this place is kind of prison like, instead of full walls you have metal bars but the fried chicken served up here is so tasty you'll want to lick the crumbs out of the crevices of your to go bucket. First off the boneless chicken strips are 4 for 5 dollars, awesome deal, and you also don't get the attitude that you'll get at McDonald's or KFC here, second the Chicken breasts are on steroids, no joke it's for hearty eaters, I tried to have a piece for lunch today and only dented half of it to my dogs delight, third they have amazing potato wedges covered in the same chicken batter as the fried chicken (it even tastes like fried chicken -so good!) And fourth, if you're on your way to Coki beach this is the perfect place to get beach grub before you head on out there all day. I've never stuck around to try out the bar or pool table, the touch of sketchiness this place can have isn't my scene but as a to go option this place is the best for fried yuminess! #FriedChicken #USVI #St.Thomas

    For the quality and price of the food it was a no. One chicken breast was $5. The food was overly priced.

    I was @ Coki beach in St.Thomas where this little restaurant is a short stroll away. A stroll I…read moredidn't know until after the fact. Instead, I ordered from 1 of the beach waitresses on the beach which sounds fancy & convenient until you learn there is an automatic 18% service charge. Beware! I mean I usually tip that & more but only when the service is actually you know service.The waitress only drops off your food to you & vanishes like a beach ninja.No clean up or check in on you. Just here you go & poof they're gone. To make matters worse there was a trash can on the beach but it was overloaded & garbage was falling out of it everywhere unfortunately. Anyhoot, I ordered the jerk chicken meal which came w/ rice & peas,sweet plantain,& what was Mac & cheese I was told by the waitress. It wasn't Mac & cheese but some sort of tuna cheese salad. It was kind of weird but not bad. I was hoping for the Mac & cheese though. The jerk sauce was ultra spicy which I loved! The chicken was pretty good everything else was mediocre. Rice was kind of soggy. I can't stand soggy rice. I tried the conch in sauce which was delish! Overall,not awful not amazing but the jerk chicken saved the day!

    Came here a few years back when I visited Coki and I still think about this place often. They had…read moresome of the best jerk chicken, Mac n cheese, and plantains I've ever had in my life. I didn't take a picture because it was so good and I ate it too fast. I would plan another trip just to eat here.

    Located in downtown Red Hook. On the opposite side of the more touristy road…read more This tiki shack style place sits to the middle of a parking lot in a small strip mall. Hand down the best place to eat in the area. It's very small, but packs a punch with great customer service, cool drinks and outstanding food. Best to try and get in on their off hours to get a table without a wait. We literally ate here 4 times when we were on the island. An absolute MUST to order is their Bacon Jalapeno tater kegs! OMG-They're the bomb! Wings are decent and the burgers are juicy, flavorful and delicious! You really can't go wrong with ANYTHING on the menu. Everything is made fresh to order. The decor is island themed chaos in every fun way possible. If you happen to have to use the restroom it's located outside (customs ONLY) The key ring they'll hand you is a toilet lid! LOL You can ring in another way too! On your trip to the john, call in sick to work and stay on the island! You're enticed too by the retro phone sitting a top a keg outdoors as well. Great photo opts! Happy Hour is daily! The Love Shack offers particular deals with half-priced cocktails. We did Margs on Monday! Signature drinks include the 50oz Volcano Drink, Shark Attack, and souvenir cocktails like the Pirates Booty in a ceramic mugs. FYI- They may attach a certain creature to your glass also. Perfect vibe, casual dinning and great accommodations by the staff (for our big party) who were so friendly and professional. This is a must experience spot when visiting St Thomas.

    We needed a lunch place driving from the car ferry to the airport and we thought the Red Hook area…read morewould be a bit less crowded, far from cruise ships. Duffy's provides free parking which is a rarity and right at noon, the mall lot had tons of open spots. We both ordered burgers, one with the standard fries and one with onion rings. It took a good half hour for the food to be delivered but when we got it, it was hot and cooked to our specs. Fries were crispy. Burger was thick with a nice crisp, almost tasted like a smash burger but thicker. Service was good. It was the one spot where we didn't have to pay for a refill of soda. They were playing the best music! No waitlist or host so you have to linger and wait for someone to leave if you need a table and they are full. Great stop.
