The menu is big. It's local. They sell out as the night goes on. All of the servers do not speak English really well. But, honestly, if you have a question that can't be answered, there's someone around you can talk to. We ordered sautéed fish and the stewed chicken. Each entree comes with three sides - my favorites were the plantains, red beans, and Cole slaw. Rice was also good. The cook was also grilling pork that smelled AMAZING and when I asked my server if I could have whatever he was making, she literally snuck me over a side plate of smoked and grilled pork. So freaking good. This is not your typical Cruz bay restaurant. This is local. It's delicious. There is live music. Appreciate what you are getting. If you want cute fish tacos, this place isn't for you. We had a cocktail at the Windmill Bar during sunset and then popped over here (practically next door), to order some food. Tables are picnic style tables. All outside. Service is great but food is cooked to order so it might be slow. Enjoy it! We had multiple beers and a couple mamawana shots and two entrees and our total was about $75. Definitely our least expensive meal on St. John ever.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in St. Thomas because it's authentic Caribbean cuisine…read more I was excited to go here on my recent trip to the Caribbean as I had found it on Yelp previous to my arrival plus it was walking distance from the resort we were staying at. One day we were over at Coki Beach catching some rays and swimming while enjoying some drinks on the beach when we both got hungry. I said, "Let's go try Uncle Buddy's! It's literally 50 feet away." It's such a vibey little open aired space right on the water with beautiful views. The lady and her son who own the place were super friendly and welcoming. She had her son whip my gf up an amazing cocktail which we both shared and loved plus I had to enjoy a Presidente beer as well. When in Rome :) We ordered a platter that came with fried plantains, rice and beans, fried shrimp, and salad. We also ordered a fish sandwich. All of it was to die for! Excellent! Chefs Kiss :D I love this place and I love hard working people who go out of their way to make sure you are happy. I'll come back again and again while in St. Thomas. Thank you for the amazing food and drinks :) Enjoy!

I ate at Hillside Terrace twice during my stay, and that alone says everything. Both visits were…read moreabsolutely phenomenal. This is one of those rare restaurants that offers dishes you simply won't find anywhere else in the area. The menu is creative, locally grounded, and clearly built with intention rather than shortcuts. Every plate felt thoughtful, fresh, and confidently executed -- the kind of food that makes you slow down and actually pay attention to what you're eating. The value for the price is exceptional, especially considering the quality of ingredients and the care put into each dish. In a place where dining can sometimes feel overpriced for what you get, Hillside Terrace stands out as genuinely fair and refreshingly honest. Service was kind, welcoming, and unpretentious -- good vibes from the moment you arrive. You can tell this is a place run by people who care, not just about the food, but about the experience. Relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff, and a sense that you're exactly where you're supposed to be for a great meal. If you're looking for excellent local food, unique menu items, great service, and outstanding value, Hillside Terrace is a must-visit. I wouldn't hesitate to return again -- in fact, I already did. Highly recommended.

We found Miss Lucy's totally by chance one day when we missed a turn while driving on St. John, and…read moreI'm SO glad we did! The food is nothing short of spectacular, the venue is right on the water with a really nice ambiance, and the drinks are totally on the money :-) We actually visited here twice during our stay. The first time around we shared an exceptional Mahi-Mahi sandwich, and started off with a wonderfully delicious soup. On our 2nd visit we shared crab soup and the grouper Reuben, which was a veritable thing of beauty! I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed the food here. Over and above the amazing food, the service was spot-on, and I think I'm in love with their "painkiller" - it's a mixed drink that goes down super smooth and then turns around to kick like a Mule. St. John is a beautiful Island, and I have no doubt that when I return, I'll find my way back to Miss Lucy's as well.

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.

We were able to find street parking right upfront, but it can get tricky. We were greeted by a friendly gentleman and by a beautiful view of the houses on the hills. The view and vibe alone deserve 5 stars. The issue we had was the wait time. We waited close to an hour for our food. If we weren't so hungry and tired after a day of exploring, we would have just cancelled the order and left. We tried the shrimp appetizer and it just didn't up meeting expectations based on the menu description. My friend had the mahi sandwich while I had the mahi entree with mashed potatoes and plantains. The mahi in the sandwich was a bit dry, but my entree was pretty good. However, definitely not worth the one-hour wait or the cost. Overall not a bad experience and worth a try, but go there with lots of patience hahaha. Also, note that 20% gratuity is included regardless of group size.
