    Blackened lobster tacos
    Kim H.

    Can't beat this location. Great service. Good drinks. Try the blackened lobster tacos.

    Beach view

    I don't leave a lot of reviews, typically only for something really good...or really bad, so please take that into consideration. We have had such an amazing time at Rainbow Beach today, both at the Rhythms beach restaurant and the adjacent beach where we rented lounge chairs and an umbrella. We had the fish tacos and also the blackened wahoo tacos. Being from San Diego we were skeptical at first but wow, the food and service were absolutely amazing. Well worth a $5 each short cab ride from the cruise ship terminal. Both the fish and the lobster were incredibly fresh, according to the lovely waitress, just caught. And wow...what a view. Trust me, you will not be disappointed if visiting St. Croix.

    The place.

    Visited based upon a recommendation. The view of the sea was great and so was the food. The cauliflower appetizer was great with the zippy dipping sauce, which also went well with the blackened mahi bites. The server was fantastic. She was so friendly and helpful. The cocktails were good too. Best painkiller I've had on the island. If you're looking for a chill beach bar, look no further.

    Beautiful scenery to accompany a tastey meal. We were lucky to be able to try their lobster tacos, but the lobster was dry & overcooked. The rest of our food was good & they were quick to make our frozen drinks.

    Came here for lunch after spending time on Rainbow beach. We were able to get a high top table with a view and our server quickly brought us waters and the cocktails we ordered. My friend and I both opted for the chicken tenders, mostly because they had so many interesting sauce options to pair with. You get one sauce included with your chicken tenders, but you can pay $0.50 to add another. I had a Carolina BBQ that was tart, tangy, and a little spicy, and a cajun aioli. The Carolina BBQ was the clear winner. We split basket of fries and it was a seriously hefty portion. The fries were basically shoestring style, crispy, and lightly seasoned. Highly recommend ordering them.

    Rhythms really impressed me with the quality of fish they used in the sandwich. It was raining pretty bad when I went and I had to take a refuge at this restaurant but it turned out to be a pleasant late surprise lunch for me. They were very friendly and patient with me moving tables as it was rainy all over. After some time they closed the front shutter but still it was a heavy rain and a lot of tables got wet. The coleslaw was nice and creamy. The restaurant offered great ocean front views and ultimate beach dining experience. There is a sports gear rental next door which I ended up checking out while I waited for the food.

    We found Rhythms towards the end of our vacation and wished we had found it sooner! Incredible views with incredible food and service right on the beach. We came here for dinner two nights and had the tacos both times (mahi mahi and shrimp). We also had a margarita and pina colada and both were amazing. The food is to die for, so good! Highly recommend coming here to eat while visiting St Croix!

    My wife and I love coming here when we're on the island. Drinks are flavorful and strong. Bartenders are courteous and always quick with a good recommendation. The location on the beach is great - chill music and comfortable seating.

    Wahoo ceviche
    Lisa F.

    We ate here a few times since it was 5 min from our rental. Bartenders are friendly and my friend ordered a spicy margarita with a habenero distilled tequila. She said it was amazing. We had wild caught tuna and snapper first time and both were tasty. We also came back and ate their wahoo ceviche. Excellent! We even went back again to see if they had it and they did we had a snack there. From what I heard this is the THE PLACE during in season where you can't find a place to sit. Since we were there this past week (off season) it was nice & chill vibe.

    Patio dining area off the beach.

    Great vibe and cool music with amazing ocean views. Awesome place to lounge on the beach and then stroll up to Rhythms and have drinks and food. Large bar area with plenty of high table seats to casually dine in. Plenty of TVs tuned into sports with island music playing the background. Staff is friendly, courteous and attentive. Fish tacos are a must have and beers are always cold and refreshing. Enough can't be said about this chill spot by the beach. If you walk up to the bar, say hello to Ben coolest guy you'll ever meet!

    Great deck!
    Alan B.

    If you want fantastic service and piping hot food, this could be your spot. The sweet potato fries were crispy and hot. I ordered a Wahoo fish taco, which arrived with large chunks of fish in a tasty sauce. They have an awesome location on rainbow beach with a new large deck, likely the result of two Cat 5 hurricanes in 2017. Fabulous view are complimented by a chill beach vibe. Next to the restaurant they rent chairs, umbrellas and watercraft of all types. We always take a day to chill at Rainbow Beach, and lunch at Rhythms. It's a must visit spot, that should be part of any St. Croix trip.

    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.
