    Mahi, coconut rice, corn salsa
    Rachel H.

    We ate here one night during our stay on St. John and unfortunately, were not impressed. The food was very bland. I ordered mahi mahi with the coconut rice and corn salsa. My husband had Jamaican shrimp and some sort of bread that was hard as a rock. There was almost no salt on either dish. Not something that we were happy with considering what we paid for it. 2 stars because the atmosphere is lovely and it's right by the beach. 0 stars for the food

    Food was fantastic! Service fast and friendly. It is a beautiful space with incredible sunset views.

    Joe's Rum Hut is the perfect bar for happy hour drinks for sunset before your dinner plans! If you're looking for a great view of the sunset and beach and to get some drinks and appetizers, this is the place for you! We got 4 drinks and 2 appetizers. Here's what we thought - starting with the best: - Mai Tai ($12). This was our favorite of the four drinks we got. It was a sweet fruity drink but you can definitely taste/feel the rum too! - Smoked Pork Sliders ($16). A set of 3 sliders. The best part is the korean chili aioli; it really pulls otherwise plain sliders into a great appetizer. - Blackened Mahi Bites ($15). Our server mentioned this was their most popular appetizer. Definitely can tell why! You get a bowl of cubed mahi with a remoulade dipping sauce (think of it like a spicy mayo or creamy mustard sauce) and an arugula salad. - Classic Pineapple Daiquiri ($12). So great. Definitely got me in the mood for the sunset! - Mojito ($10). Classic mojito - can't go wrong with it! - Goslings Dark & Stormy ($10). Our least favorite drink here. The bitters and rum over power the ginger beer unlike the typical Dark & Stormy's I've normally had before.

    Hoo boy. The food here is a bit of a mess. "Fully loaded garlic fries" means some pre-frozen little fries with an almost semen-like drenching of garlic mayonnaise. Very unappetizing to see, though not bad to eat. Crab cakes with salad means two deep-fried pucks of mostly breadcrumbs with a dozen arugula leaves. "Hummus" means, like, partially blended refried beans--clearly the victim of an ice cream scoop--and a pile of semi-stale tortilla chips. The half-pound of peel and eat shrimp was maybe eight shrimp dusted lightly with Old Bay served with a side of bottled cocktail sauce. The various fruit daiquiris tasted of bottom shelf rum and little else. All in all, take your hunger elsewhere. (I will add that my fiancée professed to "liking" the fries and the drinks, but even her starry eyes couldn't aver to say more than that.)

    Favorite place on St. John - the food is so fresh, inspired and delish. The drinks are equally good! Location can't be beat as it's right on the beach with gorgeous views. The new manager is the coolest and sweetest and all the staff were amazing. You can't miss visiting here if you come to St. John!

    What an excellent dinner and drink spot! For our last night on the island we wanted to have a nice and not too expensive dinner. The menu is full of veryy affordable and delicious food and drinks. We had been drinking rum drinks all week so it was nice to take a break from it and get refreshing mojitos and seared tuna salads. Everything was perfectly seasoned and cooked, but the carne asada tacos were amazing!! We got some to go on top of the ones we devoured during dinner. While on the islands I mainly ordered fish, and avoided the beef but the carne asada these folks made were some of the best I have ever had! The atmosphere is relaxed and fun but not too loud. The view is awesome, you can get a table next on the beach next to the water. And the service was on point. No complaints, next time we come back to St John's we are heading straight here for more!

    i honestly loved this place. we went like 5 times in 3 days. we had lunch and then went back to sit on the beach for drinks at night. the drink selection is kind of limited, there were only a few to choose from. They did run out of mint so i couldn't have anymore mojitos one day, which was kind of unfortunate because the other drinks were a little too strong for me. in our bunch of visits we noticed that some of the servers are definitely more genuinely nice than others.. but i have to give it to them because they were doing multiple days of double shifts in the heat. by far this place plays the best music IMO (more house, electronic and hiphop than other bars that play mixes of old radio music - still good but *too* random) also it isn't too loud so you don't need to yell to speak to someone the food was good. garlic fries ugh. those crispy onions on the house salad- so good. i recommend making this a stop on your trip for sure.

    Love Joe's rum hut for the happy hour and appetizers! Perfect place to hit up after a day at the beach. They have "indoor" (open space) and beach side dining on the sand. Love this place and will always come back

    Can't stop thinking about the great view and wonderful drinks. The Lime In De Coconut along with some peel and eat shrimp is my go to lunch 2 - 3 time each visit. My hubby always enjoys the tacos and sliders.

    Very trendy chill vibe, right on the beach. The service was quite slow although we weren't in a rush and the waitress was super nice. We just got a couple of painkillers and they were strong. Perfect spot for happy hour on the water- be sure to stay for the sunset!

    Best happy hour - $3 for anything. Food is ok, but better to venture to one of the restaurants after drinking.

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.

    Authentic cuisine. Not as good as the places I am used to in the Bronx or New York City. My friends…read morecomplained the entire time. Seating available at picnic tables outdoors.

Everything is so fresh and packed with flavor, that you really can't go wrong with anything in the menu. The vegetable paella was delicious, the two tridatos we tried were fresh and bright with the different sauces on top, and the key lime pie was absolutely amazing. It is definitely the vacationers favorite spot, but I wouldn't say it's too touristy or anything. It gets a lot of attention because it's good and a nice place to eat dinner with your family on vacation. We sat at the bar and the bartender was super friendly. The host was kind enough to try to squeeze us in anywhere he could so for that we are very grateful. The food took awhile to come out, but that's probably just island time stuff, and besides the place was PACKED. But our appetizers and desserts came out really quickly. We loved our time here and would definitely recommend giving it a try if possible! There is a good mix of seafood and "land breezes" on the menu, plus a couple vegetarian plates if needed. Perfect for cocktail and mocktails as well!

    This place came highly recommended by many people on the island. Very hard to get in to... called…read moreand they only had one reservation left for 5:30. We got there and man was the line long. Surely this place had to be amazing with that long of a line and very limited reservations. Ok so there was good and bad, hence the 3 stars. The good, great ambience, open air with a good view. Adding to that, the food was stellar. Super fresh, great flavors and portions were good. Would definitely come back for the food. The bad... service, or lack there of. We were a party of 4 but must have been invisible. We got waters quickly but didn't order anything else. Not sure if that was a surprise to the server but we don't drink. It was all downhill from there. Took forever for us to order an appetizer and while it came out quickly, once again, it took forever to order our dinner. Food came out and was delicious. The server came by once to make sure we were ok but that was it until the bill came. He disappeared from serving us only to bow down to the table across from us. That table ordered lots of drinks and lobster so apparently they get preferential treatment and we get nothing. End of the day, while the service sucked, food was good. Might or might not go back.
