I always enjoy going to Petite Pump Room when I am back home visiting. The food is great and I love the views from the waterfront. Definitely recommend sitting in the patio area and trying food from the local dishes menu.

Glad I found this amazing spot for breakfast. Went there 2 times during our stay and probably will go a 3rd time before we fly out. Upon entering out where er ou want. There's a nice breeze in the morning. We've tried the French toast, western omelet, 2 egg breakfast, and everything has been delicious. The staff is attentive and friendly. Im a coffee lover and enjoyed their coffee. Enjoy a mimosa or piña cola day while there. Its cool to see the sea planes land and take off from there as well. Parking was not an issue. The price for food is very reasonable. Two thumbs up.

On vacation found this spot on Yelp. Food was good. Seat yourself. Able to sit on patio overlooking the water. Service good. Caribbean food authentic but my daughter doesn't eat much of that so thankfully there was a ham and cheese sandwich with fries which she enjoyed.

Lunch

We had lunch. Nice view from deck as we ate. Food was good and service went fine Butterfly shrimp and chicken

Awesome views.

Great food. Awesome service. Delicious drinks and inviting ambiance. You'll love eating here. The conch and fried fish are amazing!!!

Butterflied shrimp with rice.  Plantains were the highlight.
Rebecca S.

Very happy with this place. Had the bushwhacker to drink and the shrimp with rice. Husband had the scrambled breakfast burrito with bacon. The plantains with the shrimp were the best part.

Piña colada

Great local food - reasonable and good service. It's above the ferry dock. Good piña colada. Will definitely go again. Beware: closes a little early.

Western omelette, toast, and potatoes.

My family and I ate breakfast here. The food was very delicious the service was quick and the servers were very polite and friendly. We had breakfast on the outside patio and the view of the ocean and the island was absolutely beautiful.

Excellent local fare not lusted on menu. Order from the specials. We had the fresh snapper, oxtail and conch with butter sauce. Fungi and stuffed potatoes on point. They maje fresh ginger beer and passionfruit juices. Hidden gem!

Outside lunch

Spotted this restaurant while driving around the area and wanted to see what they had to offer. Was greeted promptly and seated on the outside patio. Food options are not limited to just island food, so there's something for everyone. The conch was delicious. The family got the whole snapper and oxtail. Everything was good. Lots of sides included with entrees so you won't leave hungry.

Beautiful scenery from the Petite Pump

What a wonderful find! Beautiful views, excellent meal, lovely wine and even more outstanding service. Inspired joy from the moment we entered the restaurant, from the warm greeting from the proprietor to the engaging smile of our server. Must check this out if you are Charlotte Amalie!

Reviews are largely positive. Diners enjoy the authentic local dishes, especially conch and fried fish, and appreciate the waterfront views from the patio. Service is often friendly, and the atmosphere is relaxed.

The Chicken Fry - My plate

Yes! $15 for a tasty dinner. One of the best dinners I had here…read more A dark street, I was the only white person there, I felt a little out of place but I was around locals eating good food so I know I was in the right place!!! I got 2 plates for $30 and it's so much quality food. Macaroni and cheese came out fresh and it was soooooo good. Major hit. The wings both were so good as well as the stewed chicken. The fungi was also so fun and delicious. Tastes like thicker grits.

Small plate and big plate very affordable combos in Charlotte Amelie! But what's more important is…read morethat they serve good Caribbean and Latin comfort food to both locals and tourists. In a place where highly priced restaurant dot the island, The Chicken Fry is a great spot to pick up lunch and dinner (no tables) and fill your beach/work hunger. We had 3 big plate orders of stewed chicken, white rice, and yellow plantains, also comes with a side of beans. The chicken was moist and juicy especially with the savory sauce it was cooked with, the rice wasn't dry, the plantains ripe and well cooked, and the beans were seasoned and spiced just right. Service was friendly, fast even with the constant influx of people coming in. Fresh food was coming from the kitchen even by 745pm. The interior is simple, no frills, and well lit. We parked our car on the street and it took us less than 10 min to get our order. The road may seem sketchy to outsiders especially at nighttime but we had no problems finding the place. Would come back to try more of their food and would recommend! Small plates are around $8-9, and big plates start from around $12. Our big plate with the stewed chicken. Rice, plantains and a side of beans were $12 each. Oxtail big plate is $18 . Cash and credit cards accepted.

Fantastic restaurant! Chef Ronaldo is truly one in a million, a Michelin-star quality chef with…read moreexcellent instincts and high flavor intuition. Food was fresh, everything hand crafted with such simple ingredients, yet incredible complex and delightful flavors. If I could eat here every day, I would! Alas, we live 4000+ miles away. But when we come back to St Thomas (and we will), Mafolie Restaurant will be our first stop! Excellent service with Toovin (top notch), what a delightful staff! Thank you Simone! A++++++. 100 of 10 stars, if that were possible. We'll be back!

She was incredibly kind and welcoming, and the service overall was exceptional. We started with the Virgin Islands crab cakes. Two flat crab cakes, packed with real lump crab meat. Moist, flavorful, and not stuffed with filler. They came with a sauce that had this cinnamon apple ketchup vibe to it which sounds odd but somehow worked. I was skeptical at first, but I ended up loving it. For the main course, we had the Filet Mignon ($68). The menu mentioned that it was served with honey spiced asparagus but instead came with carrots. It also came with mashed potatoes and a coconut green peppercorn sauce. I asked for the steak to be cooked medium rare and they delivered on that. We also tried the Whole Snapper for $55. It was deep fried and served with peas and rice and carrots. Packed with flavor and very crispy. For drinks, I got the Golden Hour Martini $16. Slightly sweet, citrusy, and refreshing. Easy to sip while watching the sun set over the island. Mafolie is on the pricier side and I do recommend making a reservation prior. But between the view, the quality of the food, and the service, you are paying for the full experience. If you're in St. Thomas and want a memorable dinner with a view that actually lives up to the hype, Mafolie delivers.

Food was amazing! Actually better than the famous Gladys !…read moreService was extraordinary! Will definitely go again when on the island!

Our original choice for lunch didn't work out and as we were wondering around, a kind local led us…read moreto Shama's. It was the BEST accident. We were immediately and graciously greeted by our hostess/server/bartender all-in-one Tiffany. She had the most charismatic personality and smile. I loved her energy! She explained the menu to us first timers and she even brought us complimentary drinks to try! The menu basically featured an array of proteins (chicken, shrimp, wings, salmon, etc) and sauces (jerk, creole, teriyaki, and the special shama sauce) you can pair it with. Sadly they no longer serve curry goat and they were out of oxtail the day we went. Each order also comes with choice of 2 sides. I ordered the jerk salmon with side of rice and peas and plantains. My salmon was perfectly cooked and seasoned. I loved the slightly peppery spice from the jerk seasoning. The plantains were delicious. The rice was a little dry for my taste but went well with my salmon. My fiancé got the wings in shama sauce and this was SO GOOD. Would recommend. He also got a massive portion order of macaroni and cheese. They definitely make sure you don't leave hungry here. My friend got the shrimp and it was nicely seasoned as well. Prices were very reasonable for the portion. Everything was so plentiful! I had enough leftovers for a second meal. The only reason I can't give this 5 stars is the ambiance. The decor is very bare bone and feels like much more of a take out place than somewhere you would go for a nice lunch. There's also two TVs and they blast the sound here which can be very distracting when your group is trying to have a conversation. The bathroom could also use some TLC. Otherwise, the service and food was definitely a 5 stars experience for me. Would gladly return next time I'm in Saint Thomas!
